% up or down is calculated from the previous day's closing price. /ng futures close @2:30 and then continue trading in futures extended hrs. ugaz and dgaz close @4:00 and they continue trading in extended hrs. Portfolios and trading platforms calculate + and - % from the close price of each one based on the time they each close. Natgas futures close before ugaz/dgaz closes (different times) If you could force your trading platform to calculate natgas's close price @4:00 ugaz/dgaz would run 3% up or down for every 1% natgas makes the next day.
