In this video Thomas Forward presents what he claims is the top day‑trading strategy for the current market environment. He argues that geopolitics and rising inflation have driven institutional investors to pour money into commodities, especially crude oil, while pulling out of risk‑on equities. Because crude oil reacts seconds before equity index futures (NASDAQ, S&P), Forward uses oil price movements as a pre‑indicator. He demonstrates how to watch short‑term reactions on an oil chart, identify technical levels, and then enter corresponding long or short positions in the index futures a few seconds later, often confirming with MACD signals. The method relies on dual‑chart analysis, tight risk‑reward setups, and can be repeated 4‑5 times per day. Forward emphasizes the importance of following institutional money flow, using aggressive short reactions versus slower long moves, and maintaining disciplined trade management.

The really best strategy now for you. Trust in me, what I explain you today is the best strategy you can use in combination of NASDAQ, S&P, and crude oil. You have no idea what I explain you today. All the last days we use it for income, for trading styles, and anything else. And the stories I share now with you— who I am, I'm Thomas Forward. I'm the man who explained other guys like Fabio, Andrea Cimitan, like Patrick Nill or Christoph Radeker, my institutional stuff. And today you will get a gift from my side, and I think you will love it. Share it to everybody. This is a big gift what I give you today. What is the best story at the markets now and how you can trade it like a day trader? Most of the traders got big problems with it, but I love situations like this because I combine a lot of things together. And today I will explain you, uh, what is my idea behind. Let me show you the idea. I explained it also in German, but you have to know what is the story behind. The story behind in the markets currently is the geopolitics, and here is a lot of stuff from the war in Iran, the Near East conflict, and what is interesting for us. For us, it's interesting what kind of products are currently long with big money flow and what kind of instruments are short. Where is the liquidity, uh, going inside from the big players and where it's going outside? And the answer is very easy. Inside, in the commodities, especially crude oil and anything else. And outside, especially in markets, uh, like, um, risk-on stocks and MACD 7 or anything else. Why? This is very easy to explain because you have to use the, uh, forward credent model. And here you can see we have a switch because inflation is growing up and also the economic growth is going down. And if we have situations like this, it's a big problem for the markets. We can go very fast from this to this or also to this levels. And for me, it is most important that I can see a lot of are now buying commodities, especially the big money like Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and other big, big, big companies. And they are putting all their money off from the risk-on stocks and put it inside of commodities. And this is the way we are playing now. And I will go back to the other picture at first. Now I have to decide and to look what is the pre-indicator. Is it crude oil, for example, or is the pre-indicator the index future? And I know it is crude oil most of the time. And this is the way that I use information, uh, for me, that I have a lot of seconds reactions before in crude oil and after it in index futures. And you will see it If you have, for example, a chart like this— this is a crude oil chart— here is a nice P reaction. The market was very strong at first, then a little bit more weak, and I can see, okay, it is going down. Now I know the situation is coming that we have a technical level here, and you have to understand, technical levels are very interesting in high volatility markets. This is normal because a lot of people are switching changing all the time their positions. And big money is putting step by step their money inside. And for them, it is not interesting, is it here, or is it here, or is it here. But I know this market will be bought more than index futures. But if you have reactions like this here, for example, and you can see selling is coming, it's easy for us we can use a short trade in crude oil. But is it the best idea? No, the best idea is when the market is coming to this level to use another combination. This is what I will explain you in this combination. You have to know we stay here in crude oil and we stay at the same time here in index futures. And when I have Ideas like this, I know we have an easy B setup. It has brought me here, but coming back again here, and now I know the opportunity is high that we will go back to this level. Is it very important to know? No. For me, it's very important to look deeper in the market, what happened here now. And if I have the idea here that we will have a little bit down. I'm not interested how, uh, much is away. I only interested for a few moments that we have a little pullback on the technical side. I use it here to make my long trade, and I'm going long earlier than the breakout is coming. This is the first thing I do. Also, I know the MACD is waiting here when here the reaction is coming. The reaction is coming for a few seconds, for 30 seconds, for example, selling is coming. I know now it's time to invest me long in this way into S&P 500. And also I know opportunity is very high that we go over the last reference level with a long situation. And this is my trading style currently. What you have to know also is sometimes you have moments like this. Let's look together. Here, for example, I have a normal breakout trade, a normal long trade in S&P 500, not combined with a reaction in crude oil. And I put my trade inside after it is running. Here is my target. But very often, if you don't look also in other markets in this way, especially crude oil, often you have this opportunity that the market looks very long, but it breaks down again. And you will see this picture often if you don't combine it. You have to combine the situation risk-reward. Please use two charts and use— if you are looking for long trades, look, is here a level with short reaction. If the reaction will come, everybody buy this market. If you have here a long trade like here, you will see this long needs a little bit time, but it is growing up. And the reaction in the market, uh, like this is this one. It's very brutal, aggressive. You have to know the short reactions in the markets are more— in the index markets are more aggressive than long reactions like this. But you can use both of them if you are able to make your easy chart analysis, uh, with crude oil and you have all the time, the best, best way that you can wait for a few seconds. The reaction is coming in crude oil, you can wait, you can put your position inside of the index future, it will be a little bit lagging, uh, in behind the crude oil. And so you have a very famous edge. You can use it, I think, 4 to 5 times per day. And this is the way I'm using all the time in the markets currently. Yeah, this is what I do. I hope you like it. Enjoy it.
