Hello Traders! It’s Monday, October 21st, and today we’ll dive into the Sonic Trading System by reviewing my first five trades of the day. You’ll see both wins and losses, showing how this system performs in real-time, giving you an authentic look at its potential.

Trade #1: Starting Strong with a Win

The market opened at 9:30 AM New York time, and we got our first buy signal at 5950. I entered at the target price, and the trade quickly hit the profit target. Market open can be volatile, and while it’s tempting to jump right in, I always suggest waiting 5-10 minutes to let the initial chaos settle down.

This advice applies across markets—whether you’re trading NASDAQ, crude oil, or gold. Staying patient can save you from unnecessary risk. This first trade was a win using the Sonic system’s default settings, a great start to the day!

The Sonic Trading System Explained

The Sonic Trading System stands out because it’s based entirely on price action—no complicated indicators, moving averages, or momentum oscillators. The system gives signals by analyzing price patterns, and the dashed line on the chart acts as a filter. If the price is above this line, we focus on long trades, and below it, short trades. The filter is customizable depending on your strategy.

Overtrading can be a trap, so the Sonic system encourages waiting for the best setups. If a trade’s stop is too large or the conditions aren’t right, it’s better to pass. In our training sessions, we reinforce this discipline with traders.

Many traders pair Sonic with systems like the Roadmap or Atlas Line for even more precision. It’s flexible and fits into any trading toolbox. And remember, avoid trading during major news events. You can download our free news indicator from DayTradeToWin.com to stay informed.

Trade #2: A Small Loss

Our second trade of the day signaled an entry at 5900. The setup looked solid with a 1:1 risk-reward ratio, but this time the market moved against us, and the trade was stopped out. Losses are part of trading, and no system wins 100% of the time. The key is consistency and managing risk, which the Sonic system aims to balance.

Adapting to Different Markets

One of Sonic’s strengths is its adaptability. Whether you’re trading NASDAQ, Dow, or currencies, the system works because it’s based on price action, a principle that applies across markets.

In trade #3, we received a signal to go long at 5899.75. Although some traders jump in immediately, I recommend waiting for a slightly better entry point—a tick or two can make a difference, especially if you’re dealing with a larger stop.

Trade #3: Getting Back on Track

The third trade was a winner. After careful analysis, the target and stop were well-placed, and the market cooperated perfectly. Using a one-minute chart, we saw a quick resolution, ideal for those who prefer shorter time frames.

For longer-term traders, Sonic works well on 5-minute or even tick charts, making it versatile for any style. It gives you the freedom to control your trades on multiple time frames.

ATR-Based Targets for Quick Profits

Sonic uses the Average True Range (ATR) to determine profit targets. This means targets adjust based on market volatility. In fast-moving markets, targets will be larger, while in slower conditions, they’ll be smaller, increasing the likelihood of a hit.

For quicker profits, consider using half the ATR as your target. This makes it easier to reach the goal, reducing the time spent in trades—perfect for traders who prefer shorter holds.

Trade #4: A Missed Trade

The fourth signal provided an entry at 5927.5, but before I could place the order, the market had already hit the target. When this happens, it’s important not to chase the trade. Missing opportunities is better than forcing bad ones. Patience is a key ingredient for long-term success.

Trade #5: Ending on a High Note

Our final trade of the day came with a long signal at 5991.25. I carefully analyzed the setup, weighing the stop and target. Once again, the Sonic system delivered, and the target was hit quickly.

The lesson here is to never rush into a trade. You have control—use it wisely to analyze the setup, check the risk, and only enter if it makes sense.

Conclusion

After just a few hours of trading, I completed five trades with Sonic—three wins, one loss, and one missed trade. The Sonic Trading System delivered as expected, with its simplicity shining through. No cluttered indicators, just pure price action.
