<Reliant's operations schedulers on the energy trading floor ordered them to repeatedly decrease, then increase output at the 1,046-megawatt Etiwanda plant. This happened as many as four or five times an hour. > So they're 'tick trading' the electricity market??? Against whom??? Who is the other side of the trade trading on electic flow 'ticks'? Pretty stupid. FYI this type of thing happends all the time in the stock market... houses trading 'flows'... doesn't make it right or ethical of course, just FYI. DAK
