LNG export is sustaining /NG price at the moment...... https://youtu.be/JUjVO8JN6tI
Ignored
I can only conclude that there is a surplus of NG in the US that the local market cannot absorb so I expect the NG price to remain low.

Reasons to short:
- Nat Gas is seasonally in down trend.
- 50 & 200 EMAs are well respected.
- Many people are waiting to reenter sell positions.

Reasons NOT to short:
- So many people are waiting this opportunity and Mr. Market may want to fuck them up.
- High LNG demand.

This is from someone who ranked in top in Funseeder.com's leaderboard. His manual strategy performance is really impressive which even beats Renaissance Technologies'. That's my dream goal. You don't need to make successful trades each and every day (that's impossible I believe). 2-3 successful trades with reasonable leverage per month would be enough to meet that goal. The key should be focus and discipline I believe........

McGinley Dynamic

The McGinley Dynamic looks like a moving average line yet it is a smoothing mechanism for prices that turns out to track far better than any moving average. It minimizes price separation, price whipsaws and hugs prices much more closely. And it does this automatically as this is a factor of the formula. Because of the calculation, the Dynamic Line speeds up in down markets as it follows prices yet moves more slowly in up markets. One wants to be quick to sell in a down market, yet ride an up market as long as possible. The constant N determines how closely the Dynamic tracks the index or stock. If one is emulating a 20-day moving average, for instance, use an N value half that of the moving average or in this case 10.
It greatly avoids whipsaws because the Dynamic Line automatically follows prices in any market fast or slow, it's like a steering mechanism that stays aligned to prices when markets speed up or slows down. It can be relied upon for trading decisions yet McGinley invented the Dynamic in 1997 as a market tool rather than as a trading indicator.
John R.McGinley is a Certified Market Technician, former editor of the Market Technicians Assn. Journal of Technical Analysis and inventor of the McGinley Dynamic. Working within the context of moving averages throughout the 1990s, McGinley sought to invent a responsive indicator that would automatically be more responsive to the raw data than simple or exponential moving averages.
In his research of moving averages which went much further than the basic examples already shown, McGinley found moving averages had many problems. The first problem was they were inappropriately applied. Moving averages in different periods operate with varying degrees in different markets. For example, how can one know when to use a 10-day to a 20- to a 50-day moving average in a fast or slow market. In order to solve the problem of choosing the length of the moving average that applies to the current market, the McGinley Dynamic automatically adjusts itself to the speed of the market.
McGinley believes moving averages should only be used as a smoothing mechanism rather than a trading system or signal generator. It is a monitor of trend. But a 10-day simple moving average is off by five days or half its length. Chances are good that the big move in prices already occurred by the fifth day of a 10-day simple moving average. In addition, a 10-day moving average should properly be plotted five days before the present datum.
Further, McGinley found moving averages failed to follow prices since large separations frequently exist between prices and moving average lines. McGinley sought to eliminate these problems by inventing an indicator that would hug prices more closely, avoid price separation and whipsaws and would follow prices automatically in fast or slow markets.

This indicator that you posted is supposedly an improved version of the original. Here is the original and a chart showing how the original (yellow line) and the improved version (green/orange line). Not sure the improved version is better than the original but it's only a matter of choice.

Nat Gas forecast for this and next year is somewhat subdued..... You must be interested if you're a spread trader.

U.S. natgas output to rise, while demand falls for second year in 2021

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKBN2BT2CO

(Reuters) - U.S. natural gas production will edge up in 2021, while demand declines for a second year in a row as rising gas prices allow renewables and coal to take some of gas’ market share in the power sector, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in its Short Term Energy Outlook (STEO) on Tuesday.
EIA projected dry gas production will rise to 91.41 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) in 2021 and 93.29 bcfd in 2022 from 91.36 bcfd in 2020. That compares with an all-time high of 93.06 bcfd in 2019.
It also projected gas consumption would fall to 82.93 bcfd in 2021 and 82.07 bcfd in 2022 from 83.26 bcfd in 2020. That compares with a record high of 85.15 bcfd in 2019.
If the outlook is correct, 2021 would mark the first time consumption falls for two consecutive years since 2006, and 2022 would be the first time it falls for three years since 1983.
EIA’s projections for 2021 in April were higher than its March forecasts of 91.35 bcfd for supply and 82.52 bcfd for demand.
The agency forecast liquefied natural gas exports would reach 8.46 bcfd in 2021 and 9.22 bcfd in 2022, up from a record 6.53 bcfd in 2020.
EIA projected coal production will rise to 585.3 million short tons in 2021 and 601.7 million short tons in 2022 from 539.1 million short tons in 2020, its lowest since 1965, as power plants burn more coal due to a forecast increase in gas prices.
EIA projected carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels will rise to 4.820 billion tonnes in 2021 and 4.938 billion tonnes in 2022 as power generators burn more coal. That is up from 4.571 billion tonnes in 2020, the lowest since 1983.

More NG production while the demand is flat will only lead to a lower price. Short trades should get better results than long trades.

This is one example of RJ style trade. First, you need faster indicators with low overshooting. I don't know what indicators he uses. I use my own. And you want some dramatic event or surprising attack (V shape reversal, Pullback Candle Reversal Pattern, ... whatever you name it). When it breaks out, it's targeting certain obvious anchor points in which a bunch of stop orders are clustered. That's it. If PA hesitates, you cut loss quick and move SL to BE. That's all. You don't have control beyond this. Market rules the others. What I don't still...
Ignored
Although I don't like RJ, his trading approach still has some values. Many traders tend to predict directions based on their own technical analysis such as trend lines, patterns or indicators. In my opinion, that's not very effective in this algo driven world with full of stop hunters especially when you're a day trader. When I trade Nat Gas, I am watching sudden and quick breakouts with heavy volumes and order flows during regular sessions. Such breakouts are usually very quick so if you are not fast enough, you won't be able to catch them. That means you need to watch PC monitors all the time when you trade. And I don't want to be too greedy. When such momentum slows down, I want to exit quickly, possibly leaving many chips still on the table. That's ok, having market exposure is a huge risk. Enough is enough. Usually, I may have 1 or 2 opportunities a day. It seems big market players adjust their books in this way. If you open a position when market moves slowly, your indicators are more harm than good. Slow market is very dangerous to trade as that's usually a trap. After such quick move's done, the market usually becomes slow and choppy until the end of the session.
A short weekend thought, or BS talk....
