Easyscreen PLC
07 October 2003





EasyScreen's trading platforms, EasyTrade and Easy Active Trade, have passed
CBOT certification for the e-CBOT trading platform.



This means that traders can now use the directly connected EasyTrade screen,
Easy Active Trade from the EasyScreen Data Centre, Refco Pro or any other
Solutions platform to access the e-CBOT.

e-CBOT is scheduled to replace the current a/c/e system in November 2003. Based
on the advanced EuronextLiffe CONNECT platform, e-CBOT will enable the Chicago
Board of Trade to grow and diversify its business. The new platform provides
full spread trading capability, option strategy functionality and flexible
trading algorithms.

EasyScreen is rated a Tier One EuronextLiffe ISV, offering the highest level of
functionality. EasyScreen has a strong relationship with EuronextLiffe, formed
since its connectivity from the inception of Liffe electronic trading.
EasyScreen welcomes the opportunity to offer e-CBOT connectivity so that trading
clients can benefit from the entire e-CBOT functions and the additional advanced
functionality of Easyscreen trading platforms. This added value functionality
includes sophisticated spread matrices, non-exchange supported strategies and
stops.

Commenting, Philip Docker, Chairman of EasyScreen, said: "Conformance was
routine. e-CBOT connectivity is now available across any EasyScreen trading
platform."
