Whether you’re a seasoned trader or just starting out, this guide will help you understand price action strategies and how to apply them to these fast-moving markets.
What’s New with the Sonic Trading System?

A Quick Risk Reminder
Before we dive in, remember that trading carries risk. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose, and always be aware of the potential dangers involved in the markets.
Why Use a 30-Second Chart for the NASDAQ?
The NASDAQ is a volatile market, known for its rapid price movements. This makes the 30-second chart ideal for quick trades where you don’t need to hold positions for long. The Sonic system works well in this environment, providing clear signals for entering and exiting trades quickly and effectively.
In today’s post, I’ll guide you through trading the NASDAQ and E-mini S&P side by side, so you can see how price action plays out in both markets.
Short Trade Example: Micro E-mini NASDAQ
Let’s start with a short trade in the Micro E-mini NASDAQ at 1877.25. After the entry signal, adjust your target and stop-loss according to the Sonic system rules. The system uses green and red lines to show your target and stop locations.
In the upcoming update, you can change these colors to make your charts even easier to read—such as switching the target line to yellow for greater visibility. This customization is especially helpful in fast-moving markets like NASDAQ, where quick decisions are crucial.
Short Trade Example: E-mini S&P 500
Next, let’s take a look at a short trade on the E-mini S&P 500. Unlike the NASDAQ, the S&P moves at a slightly slower pace, but the same principles apply. You’ll use a 1-minute chart, which generates signals less frequently than the 30-second NASDAQ chart, but allows you to capture bigger moves over a longer timeframe.
When entering trades, always aim for the best possible price. Even a small improvement can make a big difference, and this is something we teach in the Sonic system training.
Trade Management with the Sonic System
Managing your time in a trade is one of the most important aspects of day trading. The Sonic system includes time-based stops, which help you exit a trade if it’s not moving in your favor within a certain period.
For shorter timeframes like the 30-second chart, you shouldn’t stay in a trade for more than 10-15 minutes. If the market isn’t moving in your favor by then, it’s better to exit and protect your capital.
Start Small, Then Scale Up
When you’re new to the Sonic system or any type of trading, it’s always a good idea to start with one contract—whether it’s a micro or a mini. This allows you to learn the system without risking too much capital. Once you’re comfortable, you can gradually scale up to trading two, three, or more contracts. The goal is to gain experience and confidence before increasing your position size.
