Euro is on the verge of a bid downmove. Hints of QE and deflation can only help this cause

Hi Razi89
Natural gas made a massive move to the downside today especially the march contract because of warmer weather forcast for next week. The april contract fell too but not as much. Imho this commodity is a buy after the retracement for another move upwards which if I am correct will carry past the recent high. If april falls below 4.200 then a different dynamic is at play

Hi Razi89,
I agree with Olu on nat. gas. It's a buy on a good pullback. The problem right now is all the "hot money" from daytraders in this market because of the big moves recently. Moves of 10% each of the last 2 days is crazy. Best to let it settle down or be a short-term trader & get in & out quickly. I'll be looking to get back in on a spike lower. Could happen with these wild moves now. I'd like to see 4.40-4.45 for an entry.

This baby imho is going towards 10.00. I was looking to sell at 15.50 area. The markets will do what it wants to do though irrespective of what I think

Nice strong upmove today. But it would take more than this to call a bottom. People have to bank profits

Hi Trexy,

If you're new to options, probably best to do some studying first.
There's many different strategies but I'd suggest starting with just 1-Calls 2-Puts 3-Call Spreads 4-Put Spreads.
After you fully understand these 4, then do some research on "time decay" and "premium".
I could go on & on about what to look for & study but I've probably turned you off already since most just want to trade & not waste time studying. For me, options has been the best thing I've learned in trading/investing. Many "experts" will tell you they're too complicated but you can keep it simple by just focusing on the 4 I've listed.

As for my nat. gas position, that might be held for weeks or I might adjust it if needed so no reason to tell you what I did if you don't know how and when to adjust it if needed.
