Has anyone been trading natural gas futures? NG
They appear to be fairly liquid. The day trading margin is high at $2000 with mirus.
Has anyone seen lower? I currently trade CL and 6E. Looking for an additional volatile, liquid market.

Natural gas is a great one to trade.
Those higher margins are probably a good thing!
2.3k for thinkorswim . That obviously covers overnight margin as well.
Good luck.

I also trade NG, but through Interactive Brokers .
2600$ initial margin and 2080$ maintenance margin, both intraday and overnight .
I like the instrument and it is quite liquid, never had a problem with my fills.
