HIDDEN EDGE — what the market hasn't priced
Market doesn't yet price: LNG exports maxed = domestic supply tightening + gas-weighted degree days above normal = residential demand surge + LNG feedgas near max = export terminals pulling maximum supply + Waha basis collapse = Permian gas stranded (less HH supply). EIA report in <3 days amplifies this. Triangulation: 4/18 engines bullish. Price likely moves before news.
EngineSourceSignal LeadStrength
LNG_EXPORT LNG Arb — TTF vs Henry Hub Spread TTF: $15.86/mmBtu vs Henry Hub: $3.12/mmBtu (ratio: 5.1x). Europe paying 3x+ → every available LNG molecule exported → domestic supply tightens → Henry Hub must rise 2-4W. 21d
82 · STRONG_BULL
LNG_FEEDGAS LNG Arb — JKM Netback Open JKM proxy: $14.81/mmBtu | Henry Hub: $3.12 | Netback: +$8.19/mmBtu after shipping. Asian LNG arb wide open — every available US cargo gets exported. Structural export demand locked in for 3-6 months (cargo bookings made now). 21d
78 · STRONG_BULL
POWER_BURN PowerBurn Engine — EIA monthly data Gas-fired generation: 98 GW — 20 GW BELOW seasonal normal. Renewable generation, mild temps, or coal switch-back reducing gas burn. Demand shortfall: ~0.15 BCF/day — EIA build will surprise. 21d
72 · BEAR
GWDD GWDD Engine — Cooling Demand Gas-weighted CDD: 59 vs normal 42 (+17). Power burn surge from A/C demand in gas-heavy grid regions. Implied extra burn: ~5.8 BCF/week. 21d
70 · BULL
PRE_DISCLOSURE SEC EDGAR — Producer Hedging Activity 10 major NG producers (EQT, RRC, CTRA, CHK) filed recent 10-Q with hedging disclosures. When insiders lock in prices at scale, they don't expect higher prices. Bearish commercial view — 30-90 day lead. 45d
65 · BEAR
PIPELINE_BASIS Pipeline Basis — Dominion South (Appalachian) Dominion South at premium to HH (+1.86). Appalachian gas being pulled to Henry Hub — tight northeast supply. Mild bullish: regional tightness flowing through to HH. 21d
62 · BULL
CALENDAR Hurricane Season Calendar Hurricane season ACTIVE (Jun 1 – Nov 30). Gulf of Mexico offshore NG production (~2 BCF/day) at risk. Monitor NOAA NHC daily. Cat 3+ in Gulf = immediate supply shock. 0d
55 · NEUTRAL
SILENCE UNG Short Interest — Low (Complacency) UNG short interest only 0.0% of float. Low short interest = everyone already bullish. Little short-covering fuel. Rally may be exhausted. 21d

OPTIONS EDGE — India cost-net audits (synthetic-IV pass)
Cost-net India options audits across 4 sprints. Reports refresh via dedicated GHA workflows (stock-earnings weekly Sun 18:30 UTC; NIFTY-VRP / universe on-demand). Real IV will replace the Yang-Zhang RV proxy once optcore/nse_iv_snapshot.py accrues ~6-12mo of chain data; the cards below carry the synthetic-IV-only verdict.

caveats (5)
  • Synthetic IV (Yang-Zhang RV proxy) — real IV requires DIY NSE-chain accrual (Sprint-3 module) or paid feed. Short-vol-into-earnings UNDERSTATES net edge with synthetic IV because RV ignores the pre-earnings IV ramp itself.
  • Cost stack via optcore.costs_india (NSE F&O: STT 0.10% sell + exch 0.0353% + SEBI ₹10/cr + 18% GST + stamp 0.003% buy). Bid-ask spread NOT modelled — real costs are HIGHER; Sprint 5 adds the bucketed liquidity layer.
  • Physical-settlement exit window enforced via pre_expiry_cutoff_days=6 (broker square-off ~E-6). Every outcome cross-checked against optcore.settlement.evaluate_position; any drift is reported in physical_exit_check.
  • Short-straddle margin (₹1L+ SPAN+exposure on a typical NSE F&O stock) means this strategy is ₹5L-tier only per optcore.capital_tiers — DO NOT trade at ₹5k. Capital_tiers HARD-BLOCKS NSE stock options at the ₹5k tier (SEBI Nov-2024 ₹15-20L notional minimum + physical delivery).
  • PreEarnings signal fires `days_before` calendar days before each announcement date; the engine then walks max_hold_bars=5 OR the E-6 cutoff, whichever comes first. Events outside the yfinance OHLC window are silently dropped.
