Trade Election Day Like a Pro with Sonic
Hello, Traders! It’s Election Day, and that means we might see more movement and volatility in the markets. Today, we’re exploring how the Sonic Trading System can help us navigate these conditions, taking a close look at setups on a one-minute chart to capture precise entries.
Before we jump in, remember that trading carries significant risk. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose, as there are no guarantees in the market.
Setting Up the Sonic System for Election Day
For this special day, I’m using a one-minute chart. Many traders prefer this timeframe because it provides timely insights while allowing a clear view of emerging trends. Right off the bat, the Sonic System shows several promising signals.
A few key considerations:
- Election Day Volatility: Market volatility often spikes on Election Day, creating opportunities but also requiring caution. It’s generally smart to let the market settle for a few minutes after the open to avoid wild price swings.
- Balanced Target and Stop-Loss: With volatility, the gap between your target and stop can change quickly. In some setups today, I saw a narrow target but a wider stop-loss, which adds risk. It’s okay to skip trades where the stop is too large for your comfort level.
- Confirming Signals Across Platforms: The Sonic System is available on both TradingView and NinjaTrader, so consistency in your settings is important. This ensures you’ll see the same signals as in our live trading room, helping you make better decisions.
Reviewing Today’s Trades
Today’s first trade was a long entry at 5774, resulting in an $87 gain before fees. Using limit orders helps minimize slippage, allowing for better control of entry points. Some signals hit their targets quickly before I could take action. Remember, it’s more important to wait for the right setup than to chase every opportunity.
Why Limit Orders Are Key
Instead of market orders, I use limit orders for a controlled entry. If a trade setup hits the target as you’re considering it, it’s often best to pass on it. Take the time to evaluate each setup, confirming the entry, target, and stop to ensure it fits your trading plan.
