Hello, Traders! Happy Friday! Today, we’ll dive into the art of scalping using the Sonic System, demonstrating how to adjust targets dynamically for optimal results. Whether you’re targeting quick profits or aiming for larger moves, refining your strategy is key.

Optimizing Scalping with ATR-Based Targets

One of the main takeaways from today’s session is the ability to fine-tune profit targets based on the Average True Range (ATR). By default, our take-profit target is set at 75% of ATR, helping us manage risk while capitalizing on momentum.

Live Trade Recap: February 13th

Multiple long signals were identified throughout the session. Once an audible alert signaled an entry, we followed the system’s guidelines for stops and targets:

• Entry Price: 6107.50
• Target Achieved: Yes, within a short timeframe
• Approach: Enter, secure profit, reset, and look for the next trade

For those who prefer frequent trading, this method maximizes opportunities while maintaining control over risk. However, excessive trading isn’t recommended—aiming for 10 quality trades a day is more than enough to see solid results.

Balancing Stops & Targets

Maintaining a 50/50 risk-reward ratio is crucial. We ensure that our target isn’t disproportionately small compared to our stop. If the market stagnates without reaching either, we manually exit—scalping is all about speed and efficiency!

Live Trade: February 14th – Expanding Profit Targets

With today’s market open, we had an opportunity to increase our profit targets while keeping stops constant. Market open volatility can be significant, so trading with caution is essential. Instead of a 75% ATR target, we expanded it to 3.5x ATR for greater potential gains.

Trade Breakdown:

• Entry Price: 6137.50 (secured a better entry by waiting for a minor retracement)
• Stop Loss: Placed based on system guidelines
• Profit Target: Adjusted for an extended profit window
• Exit: Early manual close with a $175 profit in under 10 minutes

By improving our entry price, we reduced risk while maintaining flexibility in trade management based on real-time market conditions.

Key Takeaways for Scalpers

1. Adjust ATR-based targets – Start with 1x ATR and experiment with increasing to 3-4x ATR for bigger gains.
2. Trade carefully at market open – High volatility brings both opportunities and risks.
3. Secure better entries – Waiting for slight pullbacks can improve entry prices and risk management.
4. Exit strategically – If price stalls or market conditions shift, consider locking in profits early.
