Looks like Freeport LNG has a crystal ball that reports what Freeport LNG wants to see but their crystal ball is flawed.
We will see when summer starts if their crystal ball was correct. If not Freeport LNG will publish another prediction

Perhaps, kind U.S. government doesn't want to see over 90% of their innocent people losing their money... God bless America !!
Even Warren Buffett once said U.S. government should ban Derivatives trading and Peter Lynch agreed upon it in his book. Actually, I myself don't understand why average people like me are allowed to trade futures, options, forex,.. etc stuff. These are made for professionals in financial businesses. For average people, these are just another form of casino. Actually, futures market is also known as 'Wall Street's casino' among Wall Street people. The only thing I can value for average people is equity market which is not zero sum game. Anyway, that's my personal opinion. OTC is very common form of trading these days. Swaps and Dark Pools are also OTC as much as Forex or CFD. Not sure why CFD alone is banned.

Edit: The spike in my IC Market CFD chart could be a chart glitch since other brokers don't have it. It happens time to time. If I were in real trading and my SL got hit, the broker would compensate my loss. Anyway, that should be quite annoying experience.

Surprisingly, futures market was relatively calm nonetheless. Maybe thanks to massive gas inventory.

Amazing WCU..... Wait until people are no longer interested in headline news. It may take several months before you finally enter safely. It works over and over again.... {image} (blue line is gold) {image} WCU is safer than Davit's pivot system. He blew his account when Corona virus hit the world but WCU followers wouldn't. If you are typical 95% day trading loser, try it seriously before you quit trading.

The latest WCU. Commodity currencies are heading into final peak. Wait until you don't see much commodity headline news from Bloomberg or CNBC before you start shorting them.

{quote} The latest version of MotiveWave has Bookmap 'look-a-like' feature. Actually, I think they copied Bookmap as I suggested to them. Their feature is less powerful compared to Bookmap but it's free of charge to MW users anyway. https://youtu.be/wgANNIR8YIQ
MW has released 6.4.2 today. It looks they fixed a bug I reported in this release. Now it looks closer to Bookmap.

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

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKBN2B12CY

(Reuters) - U.S. natural gas production will edge up in 2021, while demand declines for a second year in a row as economic fallout from coronavirus lockdowns continue to plague the market, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in its Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) on Tuesday.
The EIA projected dry gas production will rise to 91.35 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) in 2021 and 92.83 bcfd in 2022 from 91.34 bcfd in 2020. That compares with an all-time high of 93.06 bcfd in 2019.
It also projected gas consumption would fall to 82.52 bcfd in 2021 and 81.60 bcfd in 2022 from 83.25 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 March were higher than its February forecasts of 90.50 bcfd for supply and 81.71 bcfd for demand.
The agency forecast U.S. liquefied natural gas exports would reach 8.29 bcfd in 2021 and 9.22 bcfd in 2022, up from a record 6.53 bcfd in 2020. That is lower than its February forecast of 8.46 bcfd in 2021.
The EIA projected U.S. coal production will rise to 581.2 million short tons in 2021 and 610.3 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.
The EIA projected carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels will rise to 4.843 billion tonnes in 2021 and 4.954 billion tonnes in 2022 as power generators burn more coal. That is up from 4.583 billion tonnes in 2020, which was the lowest since 1983.

Personally I don't see good Nat Gas spread trading opportunities at the moment. Forward curve is somewhat flat..... I'd more focus on my day trading for the time being. {image}
Still not found decent spread trading opportunities.... Very boring market. Submitted a pending buy @ -0.036 and -0.040 of NGJ21-NGK21 spread right before in a hope the gap becomes narrower when it comes closer to the expiration. Margin is only $250 per contract, which means its volatility is pretty low.

{quote} {image}{image}Ok, fair enough.... Let me move to Advantage Futures then....
I think I've found cost-effective alternative to Advantage Futures. Sierra Futures (aka Stage5 Trading) can clear /HH via Gain Capital as clearing. They have much lower minimum deposit requirement compared to Advantage which requires $10K as minimum. However, they are still working on exchange recognized spread trading. I expect they're ready by next month.....

Nat Gas market is just boring. Daily range is decreased significantly as well. The market hardly moves until regular market open. At this time of the year, people are not very interested in nat gas trading......
