Hello, Traders! Today is February 4th, and I just recorded this live trading session using the Sonic Trading System by Day Trade to Win. Remember, trading is risky—never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose.
Understanding Market Open Volatility
At 9:30 AM New York time, the market opens, bringing a surge of volatility as traders jump in—whether it’s on the Nasdaq (NDAQ), E-mini, or even Micro contracts. During this time, we see overnight traders closing positions, and many new traders making hasty moves. That’s why I always recommend waiting at least 5 to 10 minutes before taking your first trade. Patience can be the key to higher probability setups.
Live Trades Using the Sonic Trading System
First Signal – A Strong Start
The first trade signal was a long entry at 6024.50, which quickly hit its profit target. However, I personally recommend holding off on this initial trade and waiting for a more stable opportunity.
Managing Entries and Exits
The next signal appeared at 6029.50 after the market settled a bit. Here’s a tip: wait for a better price before entering. If the profit target is hit before your entry, cancel the order. This is a crucial risk management practice.
In this trade, I waited for a slight pullback and then got filled at an improved price. My stop remained at the red line—no adjustments, no panic exits. Many traders make the mistake of exiting too soon. However, if your stop hasn’t been hit and the market is still in play, it’s best to remain patient.
Time-Based Stops
One key technique I use is the time-based stop—if a trade doesn’t move within 15 to 20 minutes, I consider exiting to avoid getting caught in choppy price action. In this case, the trade took about 10 to 12 minutes before hitting the target—perfectly within my trading plan.
A Trend Confirmation with Consecutive Winning Signals
Throughout the session, all signals pointed long, reinforcing that the trend was strong. If all trades are aligning in one direction, that’s a great confirmation to stick with the trend.
At one point, I skipped a winning trade due to an outside distraction (a phone call!). Missing a trade is okay—don’t chase the market! More opportunities will always come.
Risk-Reward Considerations
Every trade needs to have a logical risk-to-reward ratio. If the stop is too wide compared to the profit target, I avoid the trade. It’s better to wait for the right setup than to force a trade that doesn’t make sense.
Wrapping Up a Profitable Session
After about 30-40 minutes of trading, I wrapped up with multiple winning trades. At just one contract per trade, I was already up several hundred dollars. Scaling up with two, three, or four contracts can easily lead to $1,000+ profits per session using the Sonic System.
Final Tips for Traders
Don’t overtrade – If you’ve had 3-5 winning trades, stop trading and enjoy the rest of your day.
Be mindful of news events – Avoid trading when major economic reports are released.
Use limit orders – Getting in at a better price can improve your risk-reward ratio.
Practice first – Use the NinjaTrader simulator or TradingView before trading live.
