You are a nat gas AND a copper guy? Sounds like a man with some specialized skills. I'm curious, which have you been more profitable with in the past few years?

Ouch, sorry sir. There are a few positions I won't take for more than an hour or so these days. They include: Long WTI Long S&P Short Gold

I hope you are right. I have my doubts that the Fed is not cracking a bit under the pressure though. Some of the moves they have made recently blame the trade war for actions that otherwise would make little sense.

Nice trade vpn. Trump also bumped tariffs up 5% to 30% as the markets closed. If you didn't hit TP yet I think you will on Monday.

I like it. Let the forward tests and tinkering begin.

Nat Gas anyone?

Did you execute a buy order? I’m spooked out of the oil trade for the time being.

The run up leading up to the numbers was too heavy. That’s the best explanation I got. Ef5 could be right about institutional guys seeing something early and then closing positions after the release. Sounds a bit crooked though doesn’t it?

Nat gas is a very unique commodity, I'm interested. Inventory data is released tomorrow, would be fun to see what you think about the price movement before, during and after that news.

I agree. I think it is as simple as you have to know the characteristics of the tools in your box and the more nuances that you know the better off you are. Personally I will never know as much as I would like to by pure study alone. To take my ...

So I personally took a directional trade today that paid off ok. Thought it was notable though that somebody else played the straddle and fared pretty well.

Well I was pretty close on my prediction for the inventory numbers but close is not always good enough. The run up in the price of WTI early in the day was great but maybe it was what caused the collapse back down in price after the release came ...

Well API was not quite what I thought it would be today, thankfully I stayed away. The data tomorrow may be less tradable than I initially thought. If the API numbers were any indication the forecasts are somewhat in line this week and inventories ...

I would but I'm not a big fan of CFDs and the ETF market is closing. I will probably be shorting tomorrow depending on what the landscape looks like. If you are still in the trade I'll root alongside you.

I don't see it either

I think that relationship broke down over the past few hours.

Sounds like it got ugly. I have not gotten into the data yet but I plan on doing some prep for Wednesday soon. The play right now it just to capture any significant deviation from expectations.

I'll just say that the Euro models are more accurate and usually worth the wait. I'll also admit I only really dig into the gritty details of the winter weather forecasts in the northeast US. The impact of a change to expectations for a mild winter ...

I hadn’t thought about Russia unemployment, thanks for the tip! There are definitely a lot of other factors at play that’s why I won’t be opening my position until just before the release. I don’t want exposure to the rest of it at the moment.

I was at least going to take the straddle route as I am expecting the forecast to be off again. Depending on what happens leading up to the release day I may ditch one side of the trade and give myself a bit of breathing room on the stop though. I’m ...
