2/5/2015 Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report (1030 EST)
Forecast: -119B
Actual: -115B
SPIKE / REVERSE
Started @ 2.622
1st Peak @ 2.578 – 1030:10 (1 min)
44 ticks

Reversal to 2.619 – 1032 (2 min)
41 ticks

Pullback to 2.589 – 1033 (3 min)
30 ticks

Reversal to 2.626 – 1039 (9 min)
37 ticks

Notes: We saw a smaller draw on the reserve compared to the forecast which caused a moderate short move that fell quickly to cross the S2 Mid Pivot then retreat late in the bar. With JOBB and a 10 tick bracket, your short order would have filled around 2.597 with 15 ticks of slippage. Then you would have seen it chop around the fill point before settling to hover around 2.583 for 7 sec. Look to exit there with about 14 ticks. Then it reversed 41 ticks to the 13 SMA on the next bar before pulling back 30 ticks it the S2 Mid Pivot on the following bar. Then it reversed 37 ticks in 6 min to the 50/100 SMAs. After that it drifted lower and chopped sideways.

Final Peak @ 2.679 – 1138 (68 min)
105 ticks

Reversal to 2.717 – 1153 (83 min)
38 ticks

Notes: We saw a smaller draw on the reserve compared to the forecast which caused a moderate short move that fell quickly to cross the S1 Mid Pivot. With JOBB and a 10 tick bracket, your short order would have filled around 2.760 with about 14 ticks of slippage. Then you would have seen it drift lower and hover around 2.740 for 7 sec. Look to exit there with about 20 ticks. Then it reversed 41 ticks to the 20 SMA in the next 11 min before falling for a final peak of 57 more ticks in 56 min. Then it reversed 38 ticks in 15 min to the 50 SMA.

Forecast: -110B
Actual: -111B
INDECISIVE
Started @ 2.827
1st Peak @ 2.804 – 1030:00 (1 min)

80 ticks

Final Peak @ 2.772 – 1208 (98 min)
55 ticks

Reversal to 2.804 – 1219 (109 min)
32 ticks

Notes: We saw a near matching draw on the reserve compared to the forecast which caused an indecisive reaction with a quick short move that fell 23 ticks to hit the LOD then promptly reverse for 51 ticks to the 200 SMA. With JOBB and a 10 tick bracket, your short order would have filled around 2.810 with about 7 ticks of slippage. Then you would have seen your stop taken 2 sec later with minimal slippage for about a 22 tick loss. Due to the matching results, it settled into a roller coaster routine as it fell from the reversal for a 2nd peak of 18 more ticks to the PP Pivot in 10 min before reversing 80 ticks in 26 min to the R1 Pivot. Then it fell for a final peak of 14 more ticks to the S1 Mid Pivot in an hour before reversing 32 ticks to the 50 SMA in 11 min. These moves presented great opportunities to buy the lows and sell the tops.

2nd Peak @ 2.723 – 1036 (6 min)
108 ticks

Reversal to 2.747 – 1039 (9 min)
24 ticks

Notes: We saw a smaller draw on the reserve compared to the forecast which caused a large short move that fell quickly to cross the S2 Pivot. With JOBB and a 10 tick bracket, your short order would have filled around 2.790 with about 30 ticks of slippage. Then you would have seen it continue to fall until it hovered around 2.745 for 7 sec midway through the :31 bar. Look to exit there with about 45 ticks. After the hovering it reversed about 12 ticks and then fell further, but it is safe and conservative to exit when hovering is observed. After the low was achieved at 2.731, it reversed 22 ticks in the next 4 min before falling for a 2nd peak of 8 more ticks in 2 min. Then it reversed 24 ticks in 3 min and traded sideways.

Notes: We saw a larger draw on the reserve compared to the forecast which caused a moderate short move that fell to cross the R1 Mid Pivot, OOD, and all 3 Major SMAs. With JOBB and a 10 tick bracket, your short order would have filled around 2.798 with about 3 ticks of slippage. Then you would have seen it continue to fall until it hovered around 2.775 for 7 sec. Look to exit there with about 20-25 ticks. After the hovering it reversed 22 ticks in about 30 sec to cross the 50 SMA before falling for a 2nd peak of 5 more ticks in 3 min. Then it reversed 80 ticks to cross the R2 Pivot and extend the HOD in 21 min before pulling back 48 ticks in 25 min to the 100 SMA.

Reversal to 2.793 – 1103 (33 min)

Notes: We saw a larger draw on the reserve compared to the forecast which caused an indecisive reaction. It started with a small long move that rose to eclipse the HOD and quickly reversed to cross the OOD / 100 SMA. With JOBB and a 10 tick bracket, your long order would have filled around 2.861 with about 3 ticks of slippage. Then you would have seen it reverse and stop you out 2 sec later at about 2.831 with 10 ticks of slippage. After it chopped up and down through most of the :31 bar, it pulled back 39 ticks for nearly a double top in 2 min before reversing 61 ticks in 6 min. Then it pulled back 31 ticks in 11 min to the 100 SMA / OOD before reversing 39 ticks.

Notes: We saw a smaller draw on the reserve compared to the forecast which caused a healthy short move that fell to cross the 50 SMA, S1 Pivot, and extend the LOD. With JOBB and a 10 tick bracket, your short order would have filled around 2.828 with about 18 ticks of slippage. Then you would have seen it continue to fall until it hovered around 2.795 for 13 sec. Look to exit there with about 30-35 ticks. After the hovering it reversed 19 ticks in the next 2 min before pulling back for 16 ticks in 14 min. Then it reversed 28 ticks in 8 min to nearly reach the 50 SMA before falling for a 2nd peak of only 3 ticks in the next 5 min. After that it reversed 30 ticks in 14 min, another 25 ticks in 26 min to the S1 Mid Pivot / 200 SMA before pulling back 38 ticks in 20 min to the S1 Pivot.

3/26/2015 Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report (1030 EDT)
Forecast: 10B
Actual: 12B
INDECISIVE – NO FILL
Started @ 2.739
1st Peak @ 2.775 – 1029:59 (1 min)
36 ticks

Reversal to 2.705 – 1030:34 (1 min)
70 ticks

Continued Reversal to 2.667 – 1046 (16 min)
108 ticks

Notes: We saw a near matching minimal gain on the reserve compared to the forecast which caused an indecisive reaction. It started with a premature long move of 36 ticks at :59 sec that rose to eclipse the PP Pivot / HOD and quickly reversed to cross the S1 Pivot / LOD. With JOBB and a 10 tick bracket, your setup would have most likely errored out as the whipsaw was underway before the order setup initiated. So this would have kept you from a losing trade. If in the off chance you were filled, you most likely would have been stopped, but the precise point would be hard to determine. After the reversal, it hovered around the S1 Pivot and then reversed another 38 ticks in 15 min as it crossed the S2 Pivot.

With JOBB and a 10 tick bracket, your long order would have filled around 2.667 with about 30 ticks of slippage. Then you would have seen it continue to rise until it chopped above the R2 Mid Pivot for 8 sec. Look to exit there with about 12-20 ticks. After that it reversed 33 ticks in the next min before climbing for a 2nd peak of 19 more ticks in 45 min after crossing the R2 Pivot. Then it reversed 23 ticks in 15 min to the 50 SMA. Then it traded sideways.

Notes: We saw a larger gain on the reserve compared to the forecast which caused a healthy short move that initially fell to reach the S2 Pivot, and extend the LOD. Then it trickled lower to cross the S3 Mid Pivot in the next 28 sec. With JOBB and a 10 tick bracket, your short order would have filled around 2.591 with about 22 ticks of slippage. Then you would have seen it continue to fall until it hovered around 2.556 to allow about 35 ticks to be captured. Then it reversed 37 ticks in to the next bar to nearly reach the S2 Pivot before pulling back 32 ticks in 14 min to the S3 Mid Pivot. Then it reversed 30 ticks in 14 min before pulling back 26 ticks in 34 min.
