ELECTRONIC DAYTRADING Editor, As a long-time subscriber to your magazine, I would like to ask why I havent seen any articles on electronic or online trading. That being the case, could you recommend some books or other sources of information so that I can get a better understanding of this new means of trading stocks? ROBERT CAMPBELL, via E-mail In the May 1999 STOCKS & COMMODITIES, we presented an interview with David Nassar, author of How To Get Started In Electronic Day Trading. The other recent article was Mark Conways Daytrading Stocks in our August 1998 issue.Editor

BOLLINGER BANDS & RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX Editor, I found Stuart Evens March 1999 Novice Trader article Bollinger Bands interesting. I am now doing some exhaustive backtesting on more than a dozen commodity markets in order to build decent trading systems. I incorporated the MetaStock code given in the article into my series of tests to compare it with other systems Im testing and developing, and it has its merits in some markets. As I continue to refine a system, I look for opportunities to incorporate different indicators. FRANK SVEJDA, via E-mail Cave Creek, AZ
