Trading crude oil is fairly straightforward, news and talk everywhere of it... However, how do you trade Natural Gas? EIA numbers? Dollar/oil correlation? All technicals?
Don't trade products based on people talking about them, most of the people talking on forums wont be here in 1 year. Trade what makes sense to you. The number for Natural Gas is Thursday at 1030 eastern, moves come out of nowhere and it will move hard and fast, look to spread if that works for you.
I would expect NG to start generating more exciting price action in November, on the Jan 2017 contract, following through until June 2017 contract. Then it is summer boredom again. We'll see!
Natty Gas at 2 year highs. Farmers Almanac calling for brutal winter in central and eastern states. http://unofficialnetworks.com/2016/08/farmers-almanac-2016-2017-winter-weather-prediction-forecast The weather network calling for a mild fall and normal winter. https://www.theweathernetwork.com/us/news/articles/2016-fall-forecast-winter-preview/72001 The way to play is the CME's emini contract "QG". $250 for every 10 cent move.
Normal winter my arse. It's gonna' get cold this year. Damned cold, in NA at least. NG usage will be up.
Eric Bolling was a prominent Nat Gas trader before he became a media personality. About ten years ago, he was reported to have made a huge profit on a convergence spread trade between Nat Gas and Crude Oil. I don't know how he did it ... I have never found a reliable relationship between these two energy markets. Bolling's mentor was Mark Fisher, inventor of ACD, but I don't know if that's how Bolling formulated this spread trade.
He might have had a trick knee that knew when the weather would be getting colder or warmer? Like a Farmer's Almanac in his body? Hehe!
