CHICAGO, June 25 /PRNewswire/ --

Trading Technologies International, Inc. (TT) today announced it will
connect its X_TRADER(R) 7 order-entry platform to London Metal Exchange
(LME), the world's oldest and largest market for futures and options on
non-ferrous metals. Connectivity to the exchange's electronic platform, LME
Select, is expected to launch in late 2007.

TT's LME gateway will provide access to futures on non-ferrous metal
products, including LMEminis for copper, aluminum and zinc as well as
standard contracts for aluminum, copper, nickel, tin, zinc, lead and a
six-metal index contract, plus the world's first futures contracts for
plastics in polypropylene and linear low-density polyethylene. Customers will
have the option to host their own trading gateways or connect to the exchange
through gateways hosted by TTNET(TM), TT's fully managed hosting solution.
Access through TTNET provides optimal access, speed and reliability plus 24/7
end-to-end network monitoring and maintenance.

"Heavy commercial demand for base metals and corresponding record high
prices have contributed to a surge in metals trading volume. Our customers
are very interested in these commodities and we look forward to launching
this link to London Metal Exchange," said Harris Brumfield, TT's CEO.

"The LME is delighted to be working with Trading Technologies to enhance
the access to LME products via LME Select. Select plays an important and
vital part in the services that LME provides to its members, giving them the
full flexibility of three trading platforms," said Glen Chalkley, LME's Head
of Electronic Operations.

In 2006, LME achieved volumes of 87 million lots, equivalent to US$8,100
billion annually and between US$35-45 billion on an average business day.
Although LME is based in London, more than 95% of its business comes from
overseas markets.

TT enables electronic trading of the world's major futures exchanges as
well as OTC energy, foreign exchange, fixed income and other instruments. All
TT gateways are accessible from TT's X_TRADER(R) order-entry software. The
gateways also will connect through TT's X_TRADER API and FIX Adapter to
third-party, proprietary and black-box trading applications.
