This is futures. (your OP says "prices" futures are not the price)

What ticker/trade are you planning on using for said "free money"

With most they only tend to work on a volatility trade and not over the long run. On natural gas, I'd rather own businesses that stand to profit from increasing production and pricing differentials.

I trade CFDs not options like most of you, havent grown the balls to do that yet. The ticker is just Natural gas-22feb23.

I don't do options. I tried a few times in 2021. Was not good.

I generally try to take positions. In this case, if I was looking for something direct on gas, it might be UNG ticker. Or if I want to get cute, a leveraged ticker like BOIL. (But they only work for trades really, not investments)

Companies I might consider for Natural Gas, Cheniere (LNG), Chesapeake (CHK), Energy Transfer (ET), Williams (WMB). One speculative I keep an eye on is Tellurian (TELL).
