That makes sense to me. I really do appreciate your suggestions.

Yesterday was strange. Futures traded up, cash settled marginally lower. this morning August gas, which is the current and critical month traded down. I haven't checked the EFT/ETN to see if they're rolling yet, but I suspect they are already in September. They would have taken a hit on this roll. I would anticipate a significant drop in UNG today. I went long DGAZ very early this morning.

Having said that, this trade has been one where you can be 100% correct, but be 100% correct 6 hours too late.

The disconnect between August and UNG right now is maddening.

August gas is below $4. July $23 UNG puts have recovered. Anyone who followed me in on July 23 should be in the money and getting out. Well, the getting out is up to you, but this has gone on too long, so I'm getting out.

I got fricking owned on this. I exited most of my position at the end of June... at today's prices between the 23/25's I would've made a nice profit.

It couldn't have been more last minute for those of us with 7/19 expirations.

we may lose a little bit during week on warmer 6-10 day outlook but with all the bulls running won't be as significant..........

Im hoping to dump out in Mid August and buy BOIL

Mid August seem like a good time to start looking for a lower cost bull play.

Although my bull play, and this time next year's bear play will not be on options on a tracking fund. It will be on contracts, and I'll buy bull and bear respectively.

The crazy thing for me is that I know levered efts are not a long term play, and yet in this instance they were the only stress free winners. The challenge on the etfs, isn't so much what they will do, or even when they'll do it, it is trying to get a fair price on them predicated on what they own.

All is well that ends well. I'll have 200 July 20 puts likely expire worthless tomorrow. 20 traded today. Total volume. Likely people buying back to close. I had 300 July 23P that I unloaded today between $1.14 and 1.27.

This was a lot of work. Work has been a lot of work lately also. I'm glad the intense portion of this has concluded. I won't be repeating that part of this trade next year.

Now you and I need to have drinks moving forward so you can teach me more on trading puts on contracts.
