5/2/2013 Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report (1030 EDT)
Forecast: 27B
Actual:  43B
DOWNWARD FAN
Started @ 4.293
1st Peak @ 4.123 – 1033 (3 min)
170 ticks

Final Peak @ 4.037 – 1206 (96 min)
256 ticks

Reversal to 4.085 – 1231 (121 min)
48 ticks

Notes:  Much larger gain on the reserve compared to the forecast saw a very large short spike of 170 ticks that bottomed on the :33 bar after a brief struggle on the S3 Mid Pivot.  This is the largest delta on the result that we have seen in quite some time.  This triggered a downward fan that used the 13/20 SMAs as resistance for over 90 min as it kept stepping lower to a final peak of 256 ticks.  The final reversal reclaimed 48 ticks in about 25 min.  With JOBB, you would have filled short at about 4.245 with nearly 40 ticks of slippage.  Even with the high slippage, there would have been an easy opportunity to exit with 50 – 100 ticks.

UPWARD FAN
Started @ 4.179
1st Peak @ 4.329 – 1032 (2 min)
150 ticks

Final Peak @ 4.404 – 1127 (57 min)
225 ticks

Reversal to 4.369 – 1214 (104 min)
35 ticks

Notes:  Slightly smaller gain on the reserve compared to the forecast saw the largest long spike we have ever seen of 150 ticks on the :30 – :31 bars.  The spike crossed all 3 SMAs and the PP/R1/R2 Pivots and extended the HOD nearly 100 ticks as it was trading on the LOD before the news.  It climbed for several additional peaks, culminating on the Final peak of 225 ticks at 1127.  Then it fell for a small reversal of 35 ticks to just above the 100 SMA about an hour later.  With JOBB, you would have filled long at about 4.214 with about 25 ticks of slippage, then look to exit between the top of the :31 bar and the R2 Pivot with 60-80 ticks.

SPIKE WITH 2ND PEAK
Started @ 3.968
1st Peak @ 3.892 – 1031 (1 min)
76 ticks

2nd Peak @ 3.861 – 1035 (5 min)
107 ticks

Reversal to 3.948 – 1141 (71 min)
87 ticks

Notes:  Moderately greater draw on the reserve than was forecast saw a short spike of 76 ticks on the :31 bar after a premature long spike on the :30 bar.  The spike crossed all 3 SMAs and the PP Pivot, then it left 23 ticks of the tail naked as it backed off of the LOD.  Then it fell again for a 2nd peak of 31 more ticks.  With JOBB, you would have filled short at about 3.936 with about 22 ticks of slippage, then look to exit between the LOD and the 200 SMA with about 30 ticks.  The reversal after the 2nd peak was able to reclaim 87 ticks in a little over an hour, fighting through several layers of resistance.

SPIKE/REVERSE
Started @ 3.957
1st Peak @ 3.891 – 1031 (1 min)
66 ticks

Reversal to 3.991 – 1041 (11 min)
100 ticks

Extended Reversal to 4.025 – 1146 (76 min)
134 ticks

Notes:  Moderately less draw on the reserve than was forecast saw a short spike of 66 ticks on the :31 bar after a large premature short spike on the :30 bar that crossed the PP Pivot and eclipsed the S1 Pivot.  Then it retreated strongly leaving 42 ticks on the tail naked.  With JOBB, you would have filled short at about 3.934 with about 13 ticks of slippage, then if you had placed a target at the S1 Pivot, you would have captured 37 ticks with about 30 sec remaining on the :31 bar.  As the long term trend on the NG is bullish, the reversal retreated back above the origin for 100 ticks in a short 11 min.  Then after a short move, it climbed for an extended reversal of 34 more ticks an hour later.

SPIKE/REVERSE
Started @ 3.550
1st Peak @ 3.603 – 1031 (1 min)
53 ticks

Reversal to 3.561 – 1117 (47 min)
42 ticks

Notes:  Moderately greater loss than was forecast saw a short spike of 53 ticks on the :31 bar eclipsing the R2 Pivot.  Then it pulled back to the R2 Pivot.  With JOBB, you would have filled long at about 3.582 with more than 20 ticks of slippage, then had an opportunity to exit at about 3.595 with 13 ticks.   After that, it attempted a 2nd peak then slowly reversed over about 40 min for 42 ticks to cross the 50 SMA.
