*When placing a new trade the NTR Multiplier is calculated from the mid-point of the current price. E.g. if a share is currently trading at 199.7 – 200.3 with an NTR multiplier of ‘10% of the current price’ then the NTR Multiplier at that time will be 20 (10% of 200). Once you have an open position in a market, if that position is a buy it will be marked to the current bid price and therefore the NTR Multiplier will be calculated from the bid price. If the position is a sell it will be marked to the offer price and therefore the NTR Multiplier will be calculated from the offer price. Please note this means that NTR Multipliers will vary as the price and bid-offer spread of the market moves.

Market Description

Natural gas is known as a very clean fuel which is used extensively around the world. A bulk of natural gas is in Russia and in the Middle East. It is predominately used in energy production.

Prices are generally quoted in US dollars per million British thermal units. To give an example of the range covered by the commodity, in February 1999 natural gas was trading at lows of $1.625 before rising to highs of $14.65 in October of 2005.

When spread betting on natural gas you trade per 0.1 cent movement, therefore the price movement can be quite reasonably volatile with up to 100 point movements per day common.
