We describe the application of a new method for the determination of charge and track parameters for electrons and positrons in both central (pseudo-rapidity 0 < |eta| < 1.2) and forward (pseudo-rapidity 1.2 < |eta| < 2.3) regions at CDF. The method uses the shower centroid position in the calorimeter in combination with a track in the inner silicon vertex detector. The use of the central tracking chamber is not required. A comparison of the shower centroid in the calorimeter, with the extrapolated silicon vertex detector track determines the electron sign. This technique has been used to measure the W asymmetry in CDF in regions beyond the pseudo-rapidity coverage of the central tracking chamber. Application to other Physics analyses in current collider experiments at the Tevatron and in future high lumimosity experiments at the LHC are discussed.
