By Kristina Zurla Landgraf   ISSUE 612 | DEC 2007

You'll see a whole new face for Lind-Waldock when you visit our new and improved Web site. We hope you find the newly revamped www.lind-waldock.com more user-friendly and eye-catching for both visitors and clients. You can view a demo highlighting features of our new site.

You'll still find everything you need through our home page gateway, but in a more streamlined and intuitive manner. We've simplified our navigation, so you can find what you need, fast. If you are new to futures, just click on any heading in the "New to Futures Trading?" area to start your exploration. If you're an experienced trader, click on "Experienced Futures Trader," where we've highlighted the tools, services and resources you need most.

Chat at anytime with one our representatives through our interactive chat tool on every page, and view special offers and key price quotes. And, at a glance, you can see upcoming special events you may want to attend at the bottom of the screen. Just click to find out more, and sign up for what interests you.

If you can't find what you need, we've improved our site search tool, located at the top right corner of our home page. Clients can log in at our home page as usual to access Lind-Waldock's protected client area, where you can do your trading.

MyLind Passport: Your All-Access Pass to Premium Content

The Lind-Waldock Web site is rich with educational resources and tools for traders, and everything we offer our visitors will remain free to view. However, we've designated some areas of the site as "premium," which require a free, one-time registration to view. These include access to our Events area and archives, Lind eWire archives, free quotes, charts, and news, and downloadable publications. You'll be prompted to sign up for your MyLind Passport password (or sign in if you are a returning visitor) when you try to access content or areas designated with an icon as "premium." It costs nothing and is quick and easy.

Once you register, you'll have unlimited access to everything on our visitor side of the site and can also use your password to sign up for upcoming live webinars. Lind-Waldock clients will not need a special password; when you log in with your established Lind-Waldock account number, you'll have automatic access to everything we offer on the visitor side and secured trading area of our Web site.

Knowledge Center

We've renamed our educational area the "Knowledge Center," but it's still the place for traders of all levels to explore the ins and outs of futures. Learn the basics of futures trading through various materials by Lind-Waldock and outside industry sources, and look up common terminology in our glossaries. Find out what markets you can trade and how to use fundamental and technical information. Read past articles in our Lind eWire newsletter here. And, you can download many publications in .pdf format to keep as a handy reference.

Quotes/Charts/News

Our Quotes, Charts and News section of the site is better than ever! You'll still have free unlimited access to delayed quotes, charts and news as a visitor or client. But we've made this area of our site even more intuitive, to bring you just the data you need quickly and easily—with fewer clicks. You can set up your own customized "watchlist" of up to 40 futures quotes, or view our default list of the most popular markets. View up to five contract months in a drop-down menu. Sort data by commodity group: stock indexes, meats, softs, interest rates, etc. Spot the most-active options strike for a particular market right in the center of your screen from a list of all listed options—no need to hunt and scroll to find it. We also offer a variety of technical charting tools, and you can click through different contract months for your chosen market via the chart application, too. These are a just a few highlights—go to the Quotes, Charts and News section at www.lind-waldock.com and check it out yourself!

Traders' Catalog

Our Traders' Catalog is bigger and better than ever! You can now choose from more than 150 publications tailored just for investors and traders.
