Are you planning to get back into NG?
I still have the NGU7p250 from a Strangle, but will hopefully close it this week.
Bias currently seem to me to be to the downside; I am considering a new strangle with a lower put then.

I intend to sell the NGX C4 on a small move upwards. Seasonals are in favour of this trade. Also currently high temperatures should favour a move upwards which does not occur. I consider bullish conditions without a bullish chart a bearish sign.

I do not intend to sell puts.

Best regards, Myrrdin

Asian LNG buyers agree with you.

THANKS

As I am retired it is difficult to define vacations. But I travel a lot ...

If I do not have access to my account or do not want to take care of the account I liquidate some of my positions, place intraday stops where appropriate, and ask my broker (Carley) to take care of the stops of the remaining short options and future positions (end of day).

If I have access to my account I take care of these issues myself once a day around the close. Usually I do not place many new trades during vacations.

Best regards, Myrrdin

We're going to see several weeks of below 5 yr avg injections. pwCDD have been and are forecast to be above avg.

The Rover pipeline is way behind schedule. Was supposed to be partially running July 1. That 3.25 Bcf/day pipeline will allow more NG production to make it to market. They are looking at Nov 2017 as possible full capacity start. Late Aug for partial start.

But inventory now is above the 5 yr avg. That keeps lid on prices. So I think NG will still be range bound.

I am leaning towards the NG market being more bullish than bearish.

I'm looking at NGx7p240c400. I hope 4 calls calls aren't too close. Premiums are lower now than in May. Legging into calls now and puts later.

Nov 4 calls settled at 0.027 today but are only bid at 0.024 now 5 times. I'm going to try again tomorrow.

If you look at the 3 prior years when NG was less than $3.50 there isn't mush of a seasonal drop. Average of only 10 cents.

Today July 20 I sold NGx7p240 for 0.013. I should have sold the 400 call right after weekly inventory when futures popped. I will try another time when future move higher.

Edit: filled on 4 calls at 0.025 37 minutes after I made this post.

I tried to sell the NGX C400 as well, but was not filled.

Entered the short CLZ C58-C68.

Seasonals point downwards, and COT data still looks bearish.

Currently I do not intend to sell puts.

Best regards, Myrrdin

What does short CLZ C58-C68 mean?
You sold the C58 and bought the C68?

Thanks.
