Hello, Traders! Today is February 4th, and I’m excited to share a live trading session using the Sonic Trading System by Day Trade to Win. Before we dive in, remember: trading involves risk—never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

Navigating Market Open Volatility

At 9:30 AM New York time, the market opens with a surge of volatility as traders flood in—whether trading Nasdaq (NDAQ), E-mini, or Micro contracts. Overnight traders close their positions, and many new traders enter impulsively. I recommend waiting at least 5 to 10 minutes before taking your first trade for better opportunities.

Live Trading with the Sonic Trading System

First Trade Signal – A Cautious Start

The first trade signal was a long entry at 6024.50, which quickly hit its profit target. However, I typically advise waiting for a more stable setup before entering a trade.

Smart Entries and Exits

The next signal appeared at 6029.50, presenting a better opportunity. A key tip: wait for a pullback to improve your entry price. If the trade reaches the profit target before entry, cancel the order—this is essential risk management.

After securing an entry, I kept my stop-loss level and avoided impulsive exits. Many traders panic and exit too soon, but if your stop is still valid, patience is key.

Using Time-Based Stops for Efficiency

One effective technique is the time-based stop—if a trade doesn’t move within 15 to 20 minutes, I consider exiting to avoid stagnation. In this instance, my trade took about 10-12 minutes to reach the target, which was within my planned timeframe.

Recognizing a Strong Trend

Throughout the session, all signals pointed long, confirming a strong trend. When multiple trades align in one direction, that’s a great confirmation to follow the trend.

At one point, I missed a winning trade due to a phone call. Missing trades is okay—never chase the market! More opportunities will come.

The Importance of Risk-Reward Ratios

Every trade must have a logical risk-to-reward ratio. If the stop-loss is too wide compared to the target, I skip the trade. It’s better to wait for favorable conditions than to take unnecessary risks.

Wrapping Up a Profitable Session

After 30-40 minutes of trading, I secured multiple winning trades. With just one contract per trade, I was already up several hundred dollars. Scaling up to two, three, or four contracts can easily lead to $1,000+ profits per session using the Sonic System.
