Top Star Development (TSD), was founded in 1997 by Dean Tan. TSD's founding principals were aimed at creating the best technological infrastructure and forex trading software while delivering the best possible client services. Its management team identified the union between forex and the Internet would create a niche market geared for individual forex speculators. The combination resulted in a new generation of brokerage firms competing for customers who demanded speed, accuracy and accountability to pursue forex pricing and trading.

While many other forex firms focused on developing a forex market and high-cost training programs, TSD concentrated on building and perfecting forex software, technology and tools. Traders needed fast, accurate delivery of currency prices in order to make informed trading decisions on fast-moving forex markets, but most software had failed to keep up. TSD's turning point happened shortly after building its own proprietary forex trading platform followed by discontinuing its use of third-party software that did not meet its performance needs.

At the same time it leveraged relationships with experienced forex professionals, TSD employed a team of experts in software development to create a forex trading platform like no other. TSD's proprietary trading software platform for forex traders, called eExchange2.0, was validated by forex users around the world in 2000. Winning several industry awards, eExchange2.0 helped to build TSD into a world-leader in electronic forex trading by the end of 2001.

TSD's trading platform is unique because it's powered using many of the same tools once only available to interbank professionals. Bundled into one program, the platform delivers resources such as real-time currency prices, real-time price charting, technical indicators and up-to-the-minute world and financial news. In 2003, TSD introduced a second generation of its software, eExchange3.0. In addition, TSD introduced DealBook FX Mobile, a full-featured forex trading application for pocket pc users. Both of these products bolstered TSD as a technology innovator.

In addition to software, another backbone of TSD's electronic currency trading services is found in its investment in technology. Traders who use TSD achieve maximum security and reliability to get the information needed for instant results. Its systems utilize a fast order execution and trading structure supported by multiple, redundant server clusters, Internet connections and backup power systems.

Serving customers in 50 countries worldwide, TSD is partnered with referring parties that introduce new traders to TSD and its services. TSD also offers private "white labeling" of its software for companies who are looking to build their own brand in the market. The key to TSD's popularity with independent affiliates is its ability to deliver reliable, competitive currency pricing and quality in its products and services.

To date, TSD has realized triple-digit growth in each successive year through 2003. TSD's technological infrastructure and investment in forex trading software indicates more growth in the future as the demand for its products and services continues to assist forex traders throughout the world.
