The fundamental picture is so bearish in nat gas that I would hardly put a bullish trade at this point, but even technically I don't see much in those spreads. V/X and particularly X/Z are the spreads that gather the price difference between summer and winter. They can move drastically lower if...

Good question.

Some people say Chinese buying, some say south american port closures, I say the reason for drastic front spread moves( mostly bullish ) are forced liquidations and anticipation of delivery logistics problems in the coming 2-3 months.

Most ag front spreads skyrocketing. Take those who haven't so far : MW, RS...

https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/u-s-plans-to-keep-markets-open-considers-shorter-trading-hours-1.1407582 Good idea. Reduce hours and watch half the MM bots disappear for 2 days because of code tweeking. Great.

03-15-20: Out @ average -0.137. Good trade. Something is brewing in the front of the curve.

03-13-20 : Exited the last half @ -12.925( avg price -12.750 ). Good counterintuitive trade.

Rachmaninov, I would considera short NG spread a bit later in the season than J/K. N/Q or Q/U. What happened on H/J can reoccur in the short term. The coronavirus can also have counterintuitive consequences( Think SI K/N yesterday ).

02-24-20 : Out @ 0.05. Bad trade from day 1. Thought the coronavirus would a 2 week thing, was wrong.

And by the way, at a time when numerous London based traders and trading companies are thinking about getting a foothold in the EU after Brexit, creating unheard-of anti speculation laws is one of the most stupid thing to do... Long Dublin/ Short Frankfurt.

Damn... This is really crazy. The goal of this piece of law is to make trading unprofitable for individuals. Is this new law ratified?Do you know what seasoned traders are doing? I am sure there must be a few big dax scalpers trading their own money. Are they creating a Gmbh ? Relocating ? Do...

So I understand this only applies to individuals, not companies. Does it apply to a professional trader trading under his own name? Does it apply to workers in other branchs which trade on the side? Let's say you have a typical german lawyer invested in 2 different funds to save money, one at...

The german lawmakers. I have no doubt a few retail traders would only understand the problem after the first tax year, but it is much worse than paying 1% management fees.

I can't believe this is actually possible. They can't be that stupid. Nobody with potential to make more than 10 k per year would ever buy stocks in this case.

Just took a few contracts long H/J yesterday. The OI is still high on H so there must be a lot of shorts who still need to roll. If it finds momentum...

I closed my short H/M this morning. Those short squeezes are nasty. I couldn't handle it a second time just before expiration so a small 2.1 loss for me.

02/12/20 : Out @ -12. Breakeven. Doesn't pay getting short SRW this year...
