    ERCOT Power

    2/3 of capacity in ERCOT is gas as far as I can tell...I guess its the same reason you don't see people clamoring to do MISO heatrates. You can get stuff (fin) further out on the curve, its just not on the screen.

    Rcg

    Anyone have any experience with RCG in regards to limits/trade sizes with RCG? Selling a covered put in gas with them gets them all out of sorts. They say they'd be OK if you sold the underlying for the same size (instead of a put, or a covered put), or if you sold a put (say a $5.00 put in...
