Counts are approximate, derived from commodity session hours across the available history. Tick and 1-second runs are queued and resumable rather than fetched in one pass. See the data methodology for how candles are built.

Working with the Natural Gas series

US natural gas is the most seasonal major commodity — winter demand spikes, storage cycles — and among the most violent: 2022 took it above $9 before 2023-24 crushed it back to multi-year lows. For a continuous series the roll matters more here than almost anywhere, because the futures curve's steep seasonal contango means the front-month "price" can bleed downward at rolls in ways a spot chart never shows. Do not read long-hold returns off this series without understanding that.
