<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I don't know if any of you noticed the recent
article in Futures magazine about Bollinger Bands and the different applications
for different time frames. In the article it was suggested that a 10 day
moving average with a BB of 1.5 SD be used for the short term trend, a 20 day
moving average with a 2 SD(the most widely used) and a 50 day with a 2.5 SD for
the longer term. I think that a combination of all three is not a bad idea
too. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>What I think would be interesting would be an
article on how to interpret the different hooks on the outsides of the bands and
what these are implying statistically. For instance, looking at last
October after volatility had been expanding for close to three months the lower
band hooked back in, the market made a double bottom and we have not looked
back. More recently, the upper band on the 50 /2.5 has hooked in during
the Jan/Feb trading range and on this current breakout the band has hooked back
up. Notice these similarities.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Many different options trading strategies can be
built around these bands and I think that they are a very interesting study for
anyone interested in how the markets have this statistical bend to
them.</FONT></DIV>

Dear RTs,
Many people like the use of large (19" or 21") monitors. I do too.
I would expect large monitors also give out (exponentially according to size?)
larger amount of radiation. But I am not sure. People say sitting more than
6 feet away from a TV is safe. But when we trade, we are only 2 feet from our
(multiple!!) monitors. We don't want to get any excessive dose of radiation.
Would anyone wish to comment on the following:
1. How much radiation is acceptable in layman terms?
2. Larger monitor = how much more radiation?
3. When monitor has been in use for some time, older = more radiation?
4. Newer models = less radiation?
5. Which brands = less radiation?
6. Any radiation rating in the specs of monitors? How to read?
7. When my screen-saver (blank -- black) kicks in, does that mean less
radiation at that time?
8. Safe distance from the monitor when in use = 3 feet? 6 feet?
9. Use of non-glare screen = less radiation?
10. Where to get the larger size (19" or 21") non-glare screens?
