Why I'm wary of CFDs on highly volatile commodities like $NATGAS right now

Been seeing a lot of chatter lately, both here and on other platforms, about the opportunities in CFDs for commodities, especially natural gas. While the daily swings, like today's $NATGAS moving from 2.741 to 2.811, certainly present theoretical scalping chances, I find myself increasingly hesitant to jump into CFDs on something this twitchy without a very clear, short-term thesis.

My reasoning boils down to the leverage aspect. With $NATGAS having such significant intraday ranges, even a slightly misjudged entry, or an unexpected news item, can lead to disproportionately large drawdowns with CFD leverage. It feels like the allure of magnified gains often overshadows the magnified risk of slippage and wide spreads during volatile periods. For CFDs, I tend to prefer assets with slightly more predictable, or at least less gappy, price action. Am I being overly cautious, or has anyone else felt the pinch from unexpected moves in highly volatile commodity CFDs? Push back if you think I'm missing something crucial here.
