Dear Trader: We’re pleased to return to where it all began for The Traders Expo a decade ago. Southern California is a hub for active traders and returning to the Expo’s roots will present the large number of traders residing in the metropolitan area a convenient way to get timely and practical trading education and greater networking opportunities with fellow traders, right in their own backyard. Ontario is conveniently situated at the crossroads of three major freeways and centrally located between Los Angeles, San Diego, and Palm Springs. It also has more nearby airports than any other major metropolitan area in the world, offering over 380 daily flights, serviced by over 80 airlines. Thus, making Ontario an ideal location for traders of all skill levels to converge and learn how to become consistently profitable traders. Interactive Learning Experience—Online and In Person The launch of our new Web site, MoneyShow.com, in February last year marked another milestone in our continuing quest to bring the experts to traders around the world. With this online educational channel that you can access from anywhere, anytime, we’re delivering an interactive multi-media experience, designed to bring The Traders Expos directly to you—even long after each show is over. Yet, there is no substitute for a face-to-face experience. That’s why we encourage you to mark July 15-18, 2009, in your date book and join us in Ontario to learn how you can become a more profitable, more consistent, and more confident trader. We’ve taken the best of all shows to date, along with your feedback, and created one of the most comprehensive events in the world for active traders. At this Expo, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to witness—and experience firsthand—live trading. Online Trading Academy is bringing its instructors and trading room to the Expo, to give you hands-on live trading experience, using live data and real money. Additionally, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and our platinum sponsor, TradeStation, are bringing some of the top traders in the country to do live trading demos and talk about their systems and strategies in various sessions. And of course, there’s the Live Trading Challenge, where two top traders at the top of their games, compete for profit supremacy. However, education isn’t only found in the workshop rooms at The Traders Expo. It can also be found in the hallways, on coffee breaks, and at the evening reception. We’re always amazed at how often we hear from attendees that they learn as much, if not more, from talking to their fellow traders as they do from our expert instructors. The conversations you’ll have in the hallways with fellow attendees will be worth the effort to attend alone. The exhibit hall is also a fantastic opportunity to gain knowledge about how to use the many new tools available to you. If you are new to trading, the exhibit hall represents the ability to evaluate and compare hundreds of software programs and services that will help you become the best trader possible. It would take months to do this type of research online or by phone. For experienced traders, the exhibit hall offers you a way to make sure you are using the latest and most advanced tools available by comparing brokers and software to what you are already using. We know that time away from your computer must be well spent. The four days we hope you’ll spend with us to improve your ratio of winning trades may be the most important yet in your trading career. The commitment you make to attend today can make a big difference in your success as a trader in the future. See you at the Expo! Sincerely, Charles E. Githler Chairman Kim K. Githler President
