About NATGAS
Our NATGASUSDT Perp is a synthetic derivative that allows you to access leveraged exposure to the Natural Gas prices as traded on traditional markets directly on BitMEX. Like other perpetual swaps, it never expires, trades 24/7, with up to 20x leverage, and settles in USDT (Tether).
The index price of the NATGASUSDT perp on BitMEX is constructed using oracles that track traditional markets. When traditional markets are open, the majority of the index price is provided by oracles (Pyth), with the remainder made up of the median of the bid, ask and last prices of the NATGASUSDT contract on BitMEX. The source price from Pyth is referenced to the front contract of Natural Gas futures traded on traditional markets, which is subject to rolling before its delivery date.
When traditional markets are closed, the index price will be the median of the bid, ask, and last prices of the NATGASUSDT contract on BitMEX: in this case a 2% hourly price band is applied.
Like every swap on BitMEX, funding is exchanged between longs and shorts every 8 hours. The funding bias is neutral, meaning that if Mark Price is in line with the Index, neither side pays a funding fee. This differs from most venues which naturally force long positions to pay a funding “tax”.
