This can work extremely well in firmly trending markets and has served Gas traders very well in recent years.<\/em><\/strong>&#8220;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>But what we\u2019ve been seeing is markets gapping higher, then selling off and filling those gaps within a day or so. In fact, the number of red candles on the TTF chart since this all started is frankly quite astounding (as was pointed out by a client I was on a call with the other day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since March 2<sup>nd<\/sup> we have set a range of <strong>37.96<\/strong> to <strong>74.00<\/strong> for the TTF front month but in that time, we have only posted 9 green candles (2 of which were basically <strong>Doji<\/strong>) out of 30 sessions. Obviously, the red candles that have appeared since the \u201cceasefire\u201d was announced make a bit more sense in context, but still, it\u2019s quite a stat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a chart
