Bot 18FEB22 13 Puts @ $0.87 on the move to $13.20.
Holding both Aggressive and Moderate Entries for a move back down to the bottom of the range.
Comment:
Prices jumped today to the Conservative Entry. I bought extra time with the 14April22 13 Puts. The February Puts are down to 39 days, which will start to increase time decay. Purchase Price = 1.03.
Trade closed: stop reached:
Prices hit both the 25% option price stop for the Aggressive and Moderate entries. In addition, prices have squeezed higher with increasing momentum through 14.00. I stopped out the entire position at 18Feb22 13 Puts @ 0.52 and 14Apr22 13 Puts @ 0.87.

Lesson learned: I should have performed my analysis on the /NG futures chart instead of the UNG ETF. Price action on the /NG chart were less probabilistic and had different entry areas. Need to follow future charts and buy options on ETF charts.
