Today, I want to walk you through how I approached the market open using the Sonic Trading System from DayTradeToWin. Whether you’re managing your own capital or trading a funded account, this breakdown offers insight into how structure and discipline can shape your trading results.

Waiting Out the Volatility

Markets tend to move erratically in the first few minutes after opening. That’s why I prefer to wait 5 to 10 minutes before placing any trades. The Sonic system is especially useful once the initial surge settles, offering clearer entries based on price action.

I started the session by adjusting my chart visuals—fine-tuning the colors of stops and targets for clarity, and setting the profit target to 1.5 times the Average True Range (ATR). This allows trades to run a bit further, increasing potential returns.

Skipping the First Signal

The first trade signal was a short at 6291.50. However, by the time I reviewed it, the move was already underway. Chasing entries often leads to poor fills and lower probabilities, so I waited. Patience pays—especially on a Monday morning.

Recognizing Market Structure

One thing I always watch for is consistency. Multiple signals in the same direction—whether short or long—often confirm a developing trend. While not a requirement, this alignment can give added confidence in the market’s direction.

Common Trader Questions

Do you offer live training?
Yes. We provide live sessions throughout the week, including a daily trading room where you can follow the signals in real time and ask questions as trades unfold.

Is the Sonic system compatible with funded accounts?
Yes. It works with platforms supported by popular funding firms like Apex and Topstep, including NinjaTrader and TradingView.

What kind of support is included?
Sonic users receive weekly live training sessions, typically held every Friday. These sessions are designed to help you better understand the system and apply it confidently in live markets.

A Real Trade Example

Shortly after the market calmed, I received another short signal at 6292.75. I entered slightly above that level to get a better fill, which has two benefits: reducing potential loss and allowing for earlier exits when in profit.

My target was set at 6289.50. The trade hit its mark quickly, resulting in a 3.25-point gain, which came out to approximately $162 after commissions on a single contract.

For traders using 10 contracts, that translates to $1,625 in about four minutes—a strong start to the day by any standard.

Quick and Calculated

This was a short-duration trade, executed on a 1-minute chart. In total, the trade lasted just a few minutes. That’s the beauty of structured intraday trading: short exposure, defined risk, and fast execution.
