Is It Safe to Invest at Just One Brokerage? https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887324747104579025130705189904 Is It Safe to Invest at Just One Brokerage? The answer, most financial advisers say, is yes. But there are no guarantees. By Anna Prior Oct. 6, 2013 4:50 p.m. ET There's a lot...

Thank you very much, my question's answered by reading your linked page. :thumbsup::)

This is today's /NG 1M chart. Unless its data is corrupt, cumulative delta gives a decent edge. I find it works nicely with /NG.

I use Rithmic and trade Nat Gas (/NG) only. My guess is cumulative delta needs data cumulation by data or platform providers and their cumulation method or period makes differences.... For example, Rithmic doesn't provide this cumulation data directly, instead, my trading platform (Motivewave)...

I compared several different futures platforms and they are not identical. Unlike common indicators such as RSI, Stochastics, MACD, ...etc why cumulative delta looks different platform by platform? Any idea? IMHO, cumulative delta is a powerful tool but its credibility is questionable.

No. They move independently. That's how spread trading works. I think you're new to futures trading. Try watch some Youtube videos about futures trading. Thanks

Seasonal expectancy to the price is already priced in the futures contracts. Do you want to buy nat gas at much higher price right now? As I said earlier, there's no efficient longer term investment vehicles to nat gas.

Perhaps you can invest to nat gas related companies like Warren Buffett did years ago when nat gas futures price was about $1.60. ETF is not for long term investment because of time decay.

It can stay under $2 for an extended period of time just we saw two years ago. Some producers go out of business, some still make small amount of money,.... There is no effective longer term investment vehicles in terms of nat gas because of roll-over cost.

However, required margin has been much reduced and spread has become narrower again. When NG was in high volatility months ago, many retailers preferred /QG (mini sized NG) because of high margin/spread. Personally, I like current NG trading conditions.

Oil-Nat Gas conversion rate is now over 30 (historic norm is 20). Sell oil and buy nat gas.

By the way, don't put cheapest fees on your top priority when you find brokers. There are many more important things to consider....... Many people say AMP is, in general, a good broker. :)

You may say this another commission called in a different name due to marketing tactics. Some other brokers such as TD Ameritrade already include the clearing fees when they call 'commission' fees. Smart AMP.... :cool:

That's impossible. If they required full margins for both legs, I would have been margin called already (last year nat gas outright margin once exceeded $10K due to high volatility). The guy in the trade desk confirmed they respect SPAN margin for spread tradings (at least for my nat gas futures).

Even my current broker AMP respects SPAN margin accurately. Other more professional brokers such as Advantage respect SPAN margin of course. Also, there are other things you need to care about except margin. Working with proper brokers is very important. Otherwise you may also experience my...

As a nat gas spread trader, I find their articles about nat gas are quite professional grade. However, I don't think it's worth buying subscription. They post nat gas articles only occasionally and I can read them for free.
