Anyone tempted to switch back to Tracker? Lowest rate it's been according to gastracker. Plus gas prices down quite a lot with less demand and peace talks 

I have gone back to tracker for gas. Contract ended mid February, had a few days thinking, then went back on it. Won't be using much gas soon as weather is warming and it's good to hold the SC. Still with Agile for electricity. Good to hold the SC there as ours is going up.

Does anyone know if there is a forum for Tracker deserters who have switched to a fix, Octopus or non Octopus?

Literally this whole forum in the energy section outside of this post.

The kind of concerns and considerations facing the fixed people are different from the Tracker-trackers which made me think there must be a forum specifically for them somewhere

Fixed tariff folk have no concerns or considerations. They know exactly what their energy is going to cost for the duration of the fix.

That's the whole point!

Not quite the case, because those on fixed tariffs (particularly where there’s no penalty for leaving early) may wish to keep an eye open for lower priced tariffs becoming available.

Oh well, I have reversed my stance re gas tracker, I have reverted to tracker. No doubt I will be proven wrong but currently feel gas may have peaked, let’s see.

Exactly. I couldn't have put it better myself.
Include fixed sinners who are contemplating a return to the Tracker fold

Peace is coming and then everyone can buy cheap Russian gas and the price will plummet until the next world catastrophe.

That combined with hopefully no tracker formula change and the increase price cap comes 1st April.

Tracker is almost 1p cheaper per kWh than my Feb fix for gas. Almost tempted to jump back on

@TroubledTarts have you been switching between Tracker as you have with Agile? Cos they were hot on the 9 month rule I believe
