CHICAGO and PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- tastytrade, the fasting growing online financial network, today announced an exclusive partnership with financial media and advisory service ShadowTrader, LLC. tastytrade will expand to eight hours of live, daily programming with the launch of a one-hour show devoted to ShadowTrader in September, 2012. ShadowTrader's SquawkBox broadcast features live trading audio/visual content in stocks, options, futures and currencies to over 19,000 subscribers daily.
"ShadowTrader has a deeply loyal following that is expanding with the growing ranks of active investors and traders," said Tom Sosnoff, CEO of tastytrade and co-host of "Get Tasted," the four hour, daily anchor show on the tastytrade Network. "We've had a long history with ShadowTrader, starting at thinkorswim, and we want them to benefit from our extensive production capabilities to make the show more visual and reach a wider audience. They add another level of personality and knowledge to our programming, with a focus on futures trading, swing trading, options, and rounding it out with more esoteric commentary on pairs trading and FX. What makes ShadowTrader and tastytrade unique is that we don't just talk about markets, we actually trade live on our shows."
tastytrade is available online at tastytrade.com, on iTunes, Apple TV, Apple Radio, Roku and through TD Ameritrade's trading platforms, Trade Architect and thinkorswim. tastytrade broadcasts from a Chicago studio with full in-house broadcast and production capabilities. A shadow studio is being developed for the ShadowTrader to broadcast from Philadelphia, near its headquarters.
"The ranks of do-it-yourself investors is growing by 20 to 25% per year," added Sosnoff. "tastytrade is poised to transform the financial markets by showing new and developing traders how to take advantage of probability, volatility and liquidity. And we do it with personality."
