We will be releasing new EnronOnline functionality tonight which will be
available for use on Monday morning.

Two information sessions will be held in Houston to further explain the new
functionality. It is very important to attend these sessions to fully
understand the new features. For sessions in Calgary or Portland, please
contact Savita Puthigai at 713 853 1787. For sessions in London, Oslo,
Singapore, Australia or Tokyo, please contact PCG London on +44 20 7783 7783.


Date Time Location
Tuesday, 27th February 3.30 to 4.00 EB 27C2
Wednesday, 28th February 3.30 to 4.00 EB 27C2


There are two areas of new functionality: Spreads and Stack Manager.

Spreads

From Monday, Enron traders will be able to define a Spread product on
EnronOnline in which the customer can trade on a single spread product and
receive a transaction for each leg of the underlying products.

For example, a customer could select to buy the April vs May Spread Product.
A successful transaction would result in a Sell for the April Product and a
Purchase for the May Product. Both of these underlying transactions will show
up in the customer's transaction list (the spread itself will not show up -
only the two legs). The price for Leg 1 will be equal to the average of the
bid and offer, or the bid or offer alone if the averge cannot be computed
because either side is missing , for the Leg 1 Product. The price for Leg 2
will be equal to the price for Leg1, plus the spread price.

To ensure accuracy and consistency, EnronOnline Product Control will set up
these new Products initially.

Stack Manager

There are a few changes to Stack Manager which may or may not be directly
associated with Spreads:

New Stack Link Type

On the Link Dropdown box on the Product Properties page, there is a new Stack
Link Type called "Stack Basis Link". If you select this link, then the price
you enter into the stack depth window will be added to the price in the stack
depth window from the parent (it will not be added to the calculated price of
the parent which appears on the website). For example:
Product 1 is a Stand Alone Product, with Bid at $5.00
Product 2 is a Basis Link Child, with Stack Depth Price at $0.25, so the
calculated total price which appears on the website is $5.25
Product 3 is a Stack Basis Link, with Stack Depth Price at $0.05, so the
calculated total price which appears on the website is $0.30


Autohedge Changes

If an Enron trader has an autohedge set up between two products which they
are managing under the same book, then the Parent product will respond as
though an autohedge transaction has occurred, but no transaction will
actually be entered into the system. This is intended to simplify position
management where you want the parent price to respond to a transaction on the
child, but do not want to manually remove transactions within the same book.

Note that autohedge functionality remains the same as it was before this
update for autohedge transactions between products which are not in the same
book.

Trade Linked View

You can now view linked transactions together on the transaction display
section in the stack manager. To do so, right click in the transaction
display section and select linked view. You will see a single transaction
with a plus sign for any linked deals (e.g. spreads and autohedged deals). To
see the individual transactions that make up the linked transaction click on
the plus sign.

You can display the linked transactions in a expanded or collapsed view. To
do so right click in the transaction display area and select Full Expand
or Full Collapse.

To return to the default transaction display, right click in the transaction
display area and select Transaction view.


New EnronOnline Contact

As part of a restructuring within EnronOnline, Savita Puthigai will be your
primary contact within EnronOnline for Trading and System Design issues.
Future emails such as this one will be sent from her address. She can be
contacted in Houston on 31787.
