NG is up 18% over the past 30 days and about 10% of the 18% is since the start of September. NG is still the place to be until this momentum runs its course.

I agree, summer trading is a bore. Do you dream about only trading part of the year because you live off or hope to live off of trading profits?

KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid)

Good point. I wouldn't expect it will be easy for oil to break out of its range either. We are talking about an asset that the world relies on slightly less each day but is tangled in politics, corporate profitability etc. A break and significant ...

I would agree with you, but we are talking about Natgas. It doesn't follow those type of rules in my experience. I am sticking to my longs for now but when the NE winter forecasts start rolling in I'll have to exit and re-evaluate.

Oil and Natural Gas

A Bloomberg terminal is the only really good way or maybe straight from Markit. The next closest thing I have found is following ETFs that try to replicate the indices. So sometimes I'll compare the IG or HY ETF performance to a UST index fund to ...

That was a rough week of trading, glad I could edge by though!

I find this to be very annoying when I trade. What percentage of the time do you place limit orders vs market orders?

Thanks, I am still bullish NG and bearish oil: url Today was a great day for that trade, I'll be following closely next week as well, fingers crossed.

Keep an eye on certain credit spreads and you can find clues about when oil prices become painful.

It is hard to tell where China trade talks will be in the near future. The meetings that are being set up may ease the pressure there soon. I definitely agree with you though that market participants are waiting for the opportunity to sell not buy. ...

WTI Crude Oil Trading

The market is just waiting for some cloudy economic news and oil will fall sharply. We did not see that news today. Put your positions on soon gentlemen.

Sweet, sweet Oil

Oh yes I understand. I don't plan on trading either position long term anyway. In fact I exited my ETF position before the inventory releases today and will live to fight another trade. I have a few stories from ETFs past as well. I got burned years ...

Oil and Natural Gas

Both CFDs and ETFs. What happened in your experience with ETFs? Did you have to pay flow through tax on positions that were still open or not have similar offsetting gains for your losses?

I can't see storage levels being as high as the forecasted number and even if they are the winter draw is coming up. I absolutely agree though, this wave of data will probably be a minefield for traders to navigate.

High Impact Events Trading... Energy Edition

How much leverage can you get on a trade like that?

Sweet, sweet Oil

A handful of reasons but here is the gist of the logic behind my trade: I am bullish on NatGas on a medium term horizon (and bearish Oil in a more general sense). I would like exposure to NG gains but worry about oil related news pushing NG in a ...

I'll play along EventsTrader. First order of business is to buy NatGas.
