A long-term idea on Nat-Gas (NGZ24!!!) On 13th of November we saw a market-structure shift (checkpoint 2) after a stop-hunt that took place on 30th of October. Now we are in a weekly FVG that could be possibly pushing price to the buyside liquidity and the daily FVG that is laid above (checkpoint 3). If we don't see a retrace to that level , price may dumb lower, filling all the FVG and change the FVG from a normal one to an IFVG, that can push price lower, to the weekly FVG (checkpoint 5) or maybe the sell-side liquidity that is resting bellow (checkpoint 6). It's clear we are still bearish and that won't change until we see at least a run above 4.660 level.
Disclaimer: This is the December contract of 2024 (NGZ2024)
DBW in TTF FM hourly. New up or Gap CloseThe TTF FM is trapped in a sideway movement. After a cone and SKS formation which was resolved bearish with the slump to 43,2 we now see a completed but still not active DBW. The ideal upper target (box) is 51, the statistical target is the equal to the important top at 49.5
The bearish breakout would be at 43,2 and would imply the gap close at 37.
Typically DBW are most of the time bullish reversal/continuation figures, thus a bullish break out is the more likely case.

[MCX] Natural Gas Buy IdeaNote -
One of the best forms of Price Action is to not try to predict at all. Instead of that, ACT on the price. So, this chart tells at "where" to act in "what direction. Unless it triggers, like, let's say the candle doesn't break the level which says "Buy if it breaks", You should not buy at all.
=======
I use shorthands for my trades.
"Positional" - means You can carry these positions and I do not see sharp volatility ahead. (I tally upcoming events and many small kinds of stuff to my own tiny capacity.)
"Intraday" -means You must close this position at any cost by the end of the day.
"Theta" , "Bounce" , "3BB" or "Entropy" - My own systems.
=======
I won't personally follow any rules. If I "think" (It is never gut feel. It is always some reason.) the trade is wrong, I may take reverse trade. I may carry forward an intraday position. What is meant here - You shouldn't follow me because I may miss updating. You should follow the system I share.
=======
Like -
Always follow a stop loss.
In the case of Intraday trades, it is mostly the "Day's High".
In the case of Positional trades, it is mostly the previous swings.
I do not use Stop Loss most of the time. But I manage my risk with options as I do most of the trades using derivatives.

#NATURALGAS Technical Analysis 📈📉 UPDATE 🗓21st NOVEMBERIn the last three trading sessions, Natural Gas prices went down with some periods of sideways movement. This happened because there was more inventory (stock of natural gas) than people expected.
The important levels to watch are:
Resistance at 247.7 (where the price might stop going up)
Support at 239.2 (where the price might stop going down).
If the price stays above 243.3, it could be a good time to buy.
Natural Gas: A look at term structureLast week , we examined Natural Gas from a seasonality perspective. This week, we aim to extend that discussion and explore other ways to implement a similar view.
To quickly recap: From a seasonality standpoint, we identified short-term opportunities for a downward move in Natural Gas. Factors such as higher-than-normal storage levels, unseasonably warm weather, and the typical price trends from December to January suggest a potential decline in prices. Additionally, prices have recently broken past initial short-term support, now trading below the $3 handle.
Another perspective worth considering is the term structure. Term structure refers to the difference between futures prices of various maturities of commodity futures. It is visualized by plotting the prices of different expiry contracts, forming what we refer to as the term structure curve.
The term structure reveals other insight that we can explore, starting with the basic slope, which can be categorized as flat, upward sloping, or downward sloping. Understanding these can reveal potential mispricing or provide a clearer picture of market expectations at different future points.
Contango
An upward-sloping term structure, known as "Contango", occurs where contracts closer to expiry are priced cheaper relative to those further from expiry. This can be attributed to factors like storage costs where contracts further from expiry might trade at higher prices due to the associated storage expenses. Sellers, therefore, demand higher prices to offset these costs.
Backwardation
A downward-sloping term structure, termed “Backwardation,” happens when prices in the near months are higher than those further from expiry. This might occur for various reasons such as a benefit to owning the physical material, also known as convenience yield or even just short-term demand pressures.
Term Structure
With a rough idea of contango and backwardation in mind, we can now look at Natural Gas term structure.
The chart above shows the term structure for natural gas 1 year ago, 6 months ago and yesterday.
Here we can see the 3 distinct shapes for the term structure, especially when we focus on the front part of the term structure. With the term structure a year ago deeply in backwardation, 6 months ago in contango and current term structure in a generally flat shape. We also observe that term structure shapes can change quite rapidly hence it can be valuable to look at the shape of the curve to place strategies on the term structure.
For instance, if we maintain a short-term bearish but long-term bullish view, one strategy could be to short the front part of the curve while going long on the back part. This can be achieved by creating a Jan – Jun 2024 calendar spread, going short on the Jan 2024 contract and long on the Jun 2024 contract.
What’s interesting when we look at the Calendar spread vs the outright price moves in the individual leg is that the direction of the outright contract moves generally dictates the direction of the calendar spread. Again, this could happen for a couple of reasons, one being that trading activity often concentrates on the front part of the term structure for liquidity reasons, hence, making the front part of the term structure generally more reactive than the back part of the term structure.
But why trade the calendar spread instead of the outright?
Reduced Margin
Benefits of trading the calendar spread instead of the individual month contract include lowered margin requirements due to margin offsets from CME, reducing the margin needed compared to outright positions.
Reduced sensitivity to risk/black swan events
Both long and short positions in a spread will react together to risk events, albeit to different magnitudes, mitigating overall exposure. For example, during the Natural Gas rally in 2021, while outright prices increased from $2.5 to $9.5, the Jan – Jun 2023 calendar spread only increased by $1 over the same period. Similarly, on the decline, outright prices fell close to $8, but the calendar spread fell by only $0.74. This relatively controlled price swing allows for more manageable risk compared to outright contracts.
Hence to express our short-term bearish but long-term bullish view, we can take a short position on the CME Henry Hub Natural Gas January 2024 Futures and a long position on the CME Henry Hub Natural Gas June 2024 Futures at the current level of 0.11.
The same position can also be expressed using the newly launched (on 6 November 2023) CME Micro Natural Gas. At 1/10 the size of the full-sized contract, the margin requirements to set up a position become more manageable.
Micro Natural Gas Futures Margin Requirements
Alongside the lowered margin requirements, it offers the opportunity to tactically average into a position to achieve a better average entry price for the same amount of capital.
Each 0.001 point move in the full-sized Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures is 10 USD while a move in the Micro Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures is 1 USD.

NATURAL GAS Buy inside the Megaphone. Sell beneath.Natural Gas/ NG is trading inside a Bullish Megaphone and the price is now on the corrective wave after the latest Higher High.
Support A at 2.860 is the first line of defense and with the price this much under the 1day MA50, the most optimal buy entry technically within the Megaphone (observe the circles).
Buy now and target 3.600 (Resistance A).
Sell if the price crosses under the Megaphone and target 2.500 (top of Support Zone A). This is not unlikely as the 1day MA50 is displaying a Bearish Divergence.
