CHICAGO, IL – June 5, 2008 – Barchart.com, Inc., a leading provider of market data and information, today announced the availability of Barchart real-time market data through Lind-Waldock’s Lind Elite trading platform, which is powered by Avadhi Finance and Technology. Through this collaboration, users of Lind Elite can subscribe to Barchart’s real-time market data to power electronic trading, as well as quotes, charts and analysis. Lind Elite was introduced by Lind-Waldock in February 2008 as a state-of-the-art electronic trading platform, developed by Avadhi.

"The Lind Elite platform truly represents the latest in electronic trading capabilities and features—the platform is very impressive," said Eero Pikat, President of Barchart. "We are proud to partner with Lind-Waldock and Avadhi, who are leaders in futures brokerage services and electronic trading technology, respectively," said Pikat.

"The addition of Barchart to Lind Elite answers the needs of the users to be as informed as they can be in making trades," said Paresh Malde, CEO of Avadhi Finance and Technology. "The market research and data that now flows into our platform makes it a very powerful tool, giving traders a keen edge."

Lind Elite is an advanced trading platform that combines the best of order-entry, real-time data and advanced charting tools, with customizable auto-execute trading functionality. This direct-access trading application offers traders the ability to put their ideas into motion. A trader defines their parameters in one or more markets, and Lind Elite can automatically establish positions and adjust stops as market conditions change.

"The unique, personalized automation features of Lind Elite have really opened the eyes of our users," said David Howe, Director of Sales for Lind-Waldock. "The ability to combine Lind Elite with fast, reliable data from Barchart now allows us the ability to offer a powerful, yet still low-cost trading platform with all the bells and whistles offered by more expensive charting and technical analysis platforms," added Howe.

The platform also offers advanced charting and technical analysis tools, the ability to monitor multiple futures and futures options markets on one screen, and built-in risk-management tools. Lind Elite allows traders to monitor positions and profit/loss in real-time, with no need to refresh. Also, real-time quotes, charts and news can be viewed all on one screen. Lind Elite is an intuitive, easy-to-use trading application for traders of all types, but is especially suited for short-term traders.
