I'm going to create a Henry Hub Natural Gas Market Tracker

 My goal is to create a US Natural Gas Market Tracker Dashboard

As a project to better understand the natural gas market, and as a tool for others, I have decided that I am going to create a website dedicated to automatically tracking data relevant to US natural gas prices. I drew up my ideas of what that dashboard might look like in MS Paint. 


I'd like to begin by gather the data I need and display it very simply. Later on I'd like to attempt to apply machine learning to the data to assist in predictions.

I doubt the information displayed will look like the above drawing, but it's a starting place.

My research into EIA.gov Natural gas storage data appears to list 7,159 different storage locations in the United States. It also lists their max capacity and their current storage values. My first task then will be to gather all this data into a MySQL table so that I can use PHP to run the calculations and display the Storage level graphic.

Wish me luck! I hope to have more updates soon since I can't trade during weekend!

2/24/23 - Energy Market Trading Journal - Gain of $210 / 6.98%

 Today was a great and easy day of trading for the most part. The day started off a bit scary by slowly dropping down 1.5% by market open. By 8:20am my BOIL stocks were up 2.5% By end of day, they were up nearly 7%! I didn't have to sell at all today besides my KOLD at the start of pre-markets.  I expect after the huge gain today that there will likely be some pullback on Monday.

2/23/23 - Energy Market Trading Journal - Loss of $25

 Whew! Today was a really crazy trading day. I started the day off holding KOLD and that was a big mistake since Natural Gas went up today. After selling my KOLD at a loss I was negative 120 dollars on the day. Luckily I bought some BOIL shares and was able to recoup half my losses.  Today was another big surprise with BOIL jumping 12% on the day. I could have made a 12% gain if I had predicted BOIL, but I predicted KOLD and was wrong. I am lucky I only pay about 1% for that loss. I think BOIL will do well tomorrow so I plan on betting that way.

2/28/23 - Energy Market Trading Journal - Loss of $360

 Really bad day today! No time to post details though. Edit 3-1-23: Got some time now.. So what happened is the day started off in the pre-trading hours trending down. This trend downward made me think that it would be a bearish day-- and it was a bearish day until it wasn't. Between 11am and 1pm Natural Gas Futures (NGJ3) shot up from 2.62 to 2.73. The result is that I was negative 360 on the day.
