In this instructional video, Thomas Forward – the self‑styled “Champions Maker” – walks viewers through a repeatable swing‑trade setup designed for highly volatile markets. He stresses the necessity of a solid risk‑reward ratio and deep trade planning before entering a position. Using a recent crude‑oil chart as a case study, Forward explains how markets tend to revert to high‑volume price zones, describes the “B‑structure” (move‑and‑balance) pattern, and shows how to identify entry points via pullbacks after confirming strong buying pressure. He demonstrates stop‑loss placement, calculates a “gigantic” risk‑reward ratio, and outlines how to extrapolate the method to stocks and other liquid markets. Throughout, he emphasizes predictability, the role of liquidity, and the importance of having both an idea and proof before committing capital.

The perfect trade entry. I will show you today a setup and an idea that you can use it for yourself. But what is the reality behind? You have to know the risk-reward ratio very good. You have to plan your trades very good and deep. And I explain you today the best way to find your perfect entry. And who I am? I'm Thomas Forward. I'm the Champions Maker. I created people like Patrick Nill, like Christoph Radeker, a lot of people I taught in the past, and I think you will like it.
Yeah, the best trades always happen where there's ultimately the highest volatility, at least if you're looking for trades that last a few days longer. And right now, of course, we have conditions in the capital markets that are extremely challenging for some. Many didn't expect the markets to be in an escalation phase for such a long period of time, but that's exactly the ultimate way for us traders to get the best possible risk-reward ratios. And for us, it's a blessing. For the normal world, it's obviously a curse. And yes, there's a certain perversion in that, but stock trading combined with the methods we use has, well, it's huge, huge benefits. And I don't think it's wrong to position yourself profitably in the markets during times like these. And that's exactly what we did, and I want to show you today step by step so you get a replicable idea of how to find a way in such highly volatile times that helps you plan the occasional great swing trade. And I'm going to give you a huge tip now: what I'm showing you here, you can also apply to stocks, and you can of course apply this in all real markets that show real volumes. So stay tuned, let's get started. Yes, here we have the crude oil chart, and as everyone can imagine, due to the Iran escalation in the Middle East, crude oil is currently a vehicle with really high volatility. No matter what Trump says, no matter what terrible things happen at night, it naturally moves the oil price very extremely. We already saw in the last video that there was definitely a possibility for exhaustion up here, but what comes after that? And that was our plan where we clearly said if the market returns to its fair price, we have the opportunity to plan a logical trade from there. Why? It's quite simple. Markets are always designed so that they really like to go back to the high volumes. And at these high volumes, large market participants are usually always interested in sending the markets in new directions from there, or simply conducting their business in peace and balance again. But with the kind of volatility we're seeing here right now, that's obviously not very likely. And that's why we clearly planned that here in this price range there's an initial opportunity to execute a trade. I also told you that the market would most likely run until then. We had a typical break in here, and then the whole thing just dropped. That means the first trade that was predictable was definitely this short trade. But what happened then? Then the market did what was ultimately really expected and predictable, because after this balance phase here, it simply decided, okay, We're taking the next step. How could you plan that? It's perhaps important to take a slightly deeper look at this. This here is a typical B structure. This means there was aggressive selling here again, and there were reasons for it. Then there was a balance, as you can see, which was below the previous balances. This means that supply and demand have now shifted. But where is the target for such a trading idea? And that is the crucial part. The target was here, and right here where you could then look for your exit, the following situation occurred. And I really want to give you this benefit and added value. Look, whenever there are absolute volume peaks, the market does special things. And you can see that here too. After that came this move. Here you could see, after that came this move. Here you could see another move occurred. Now you might say, yeah, he's showing all that after the fact. No, we already explained all of that very precisely in the previous video, explained exactly where the market is heading and what reaction is expected there. And now, how did the story continue? And that is probably by far the most exciting part for you, because you only have predictability when you can choose very clear paths for yourself. And since we are currently in a highly volatile phase, you always have to do the following. You have to look, where do I have high volume? Yes, you could plan that here. And now comes the part. What happens at high volume? Does the proof come that the buyers are actually coming in? Sure, the very brave ones just buy here. But you can also wait until the proof arrives. If you go into a small timeframe now, you see excessive buying and balance here. And again, excessive buying and balance, and that's always exciting. Then you have proof twice that there is really very strong buying. Now you have options to enter here via pullback or to enter here again via pullback. There are many, many, many ways. But I'll show you the most essential and important thing now. When I tell you markets strive for liquidity, well, what do I simply look at? I look, where was the last highest liquidity in terms of the reference ratio? And that was here. That means this stretch was predictable for now. Oh, but now the market bounced off there and went back again. And bounced off again. So what can I plan then? Quite simple. In theory, I can plan the next leg up to the next high-volume area. Especially when the market shows me once again that it's working with power and it accepts these price ranges. And therefore, we could plan this trend continuation perfectly right here. So right here, we had an opportunity, and this opportunity looks like this. Now everyone says, yeah, you could have planned from here to here. Yes, you could, but with very high risk. Then you could definitely plan this trade here. That was definitely doable. Now the question is, how do we evaluate the risk-reward ratio? It's quite simple. The stop loss belonged right here, and you can already see here the risk-reward ratio is gigantic. And no, you didn't buy the trade at the absolute low. You didn't get that, but you have predictability. Let's move on. Let's just imagine we missed all these trades and we want to wait in case the market shows us again. I accept these price ranges, not with quick spikes, but with real acceptance. Always remember, Where markets are in balance, large market participants accept the prices, and from there a reaction occurs. Always check what was the previous reaction. Ah, it was bullish. And if it was bullish, the probability is initially higher that this path will then continue upwards, even if there was a really massive downtrend before. But that was our absolute key. Good. What was the next step? Predictability. And predictability in this case was achievable from exactly this price range to this price range. And so you can see once again, that was our opportunity and that was our risk. And even if we're only right every second or third time with such a trade, we have a huge risk-reward ratio, and that's all that matters in trading. And in market phases like the ones we have now, it's just super, super exciting to see how the whole thing unfolds. I can tell you, as long as we don't leave this price range again, remember, via move and balance, the probability is always there that the market will continue to balance here and potentially return to this point. Or if it accepts new prices, then it looks for the next high volume price, and that is your target. And it can be that simple. I hope this helped you understand the simplicity of it. And you always need two things: the idea and the proof. Once you have both, you'll be able to establish a risk-reward ratio, and you have to stick to that. I hope you enjoyed this video and try checking this out with stocks or other markets that offer you real trading volumes. On that note, have a wonderful day, everyone.
