Disclosure of Order Routing Practices for Non-Directed Customer Orders
1st Quarter Ending March 31, 2006.

MB Trading has prepared this report pursuant to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule requiring all brokerage firms to make publicly available quarterly reports on their order routing practices. The report provides information on the routing of "non-directed orders" - any order that the customer has not specifically instructed to be routed to a particular venue [market center] for execution. For these non-directed orders, MB Trading has selected the execution venue on behalf of its customers.

Based on the design of the firm's proprietary order routing mechanism, most orders were routed to and executed by multiple venues. Therefore, the data below reflects the percentages of orders routed for execution at each market venue.

The report is divided into four sections: one for securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange; one for securities listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market; one for securities listed on the American Stock Exchange or regional exchanges; and one for exchange-listed options. For each section, this report identifies the venues most often selected by MB Trading, sets forth the percentage of various types of orders routed to the venues, and discusses the material aspects of MB Trading's relationship with the venues.

Unless otherwise indicated, MB Trading does not participate in any "Payment-for-order-flow" arrangements. Payment-for-order-flow is the cash or non-cash compensation paid to a securities brokerage for routing their orders to a particular market venue.
