The deviation on today's Natural Gas trade was so small that it didn't trigger snw elite. The deviation was -1 and this produced a hard spike down instead of the expected slow climb up. If you watch the video carefully and focus on the price latter you'll see a large order of 500+ contracts selling nat. gas. I'm sure this helped the market make such a hard push down. Also I used a new method of entering my straddle orders, basically I've automated the process which means instead of placing my pending orders 5 seconds before the release comes out I can now place them 2 or 3 seconds before and hopefully miss any pre news movements. Ill be using this same method for u.s. advance gdp and NFP in the future. (Go full screen and switch quality to 720p to see the video better)

2/21/13 +$280 (Natural Gas)-very small deviation
We were triggered into a Natural gas trade today with both the auto click and straddle. One made profit and one lost a little. Ill let you watch to see which is which. There was only a deviation of -3 so the move wasn't very big, we were up over $400 at one point but the move was so fast the trailing stop couldn't get us out in time to catch it.

2/14/13 +$830 (Natural Gas)
Today I attempted to do a straddle along with using the auto click and it worked out very well. After I moved my lines while recording I couldn't remember where I placed my pending sell order but after re watching the video it seems the auto click only had 4 points of slippage and got me into the trade faster by 5 points. The pending sell order entered me into the trade exactly where I set it to with no slippage. Auto click entry was 3.270 and straddle entry was 3.265. Watch video for details. Be warned that my computer froze near the end of the recording and the audio was messed up. (Go full screen and switch quality to 720p to see the video better)

2/7/13 +$190 (Natural Gas)
Well its been some time since I traded natural gas, mainly because infinity doesn't allow Nat. Gas and Canadian dollar futures and several others on demo accounts. I recently opened my live account so those restrictions are now gone. I'm now trading under their live sim account. I'm happy with my first trade as I made 19 points in profit even tho the market had a large down move 5 seconds before the news even came out. Watch video for more details.

Today I opened up my futures account with Infinity Futures. Im still able to trade a simulated account while I get used to things plus I can now trade Natural Gas and Canadian Dollar futures since I have a live account. We should have some interesting videos in the near future. Until then, thanks for reading.
