I had my coffee ready, charts up, and the Sonic Trading System running. The market was already buzzing.

First glance at the NASDAQ — a few long signals had fired earlier, and prices were already hugging their targets. Tempting to jump in, but I’ve learned the hard way: chasing the market is like chasing a bus. You end up out of breath and still miss the ride.

So, I waited.

NASDAQ: The One That Got Away (Almost)

Then it happened — a fresh long signal. No hesitation this time. Click. Order filled.

Before I could even think about adjusting my target, price shot straight up, tagged my 20-tick target, and closed the trade.

Sure, I could’ve made more, but the move happened so fast I didn’t have time to react. That’s trading — sometimes the market gives you no second chances.

E-Mini S&P: Patience Pays

Next up, the E-Mini S&P. I spotted a similar setup, but this time the market pulled back just enough to give me a better entry. That’s always a good feeling — like getting in line before the crowd.

The trade started moving in my favor… until it didn’t.

• Price tapped my target once.
• Then twice.
• Then a third time — and still couldn’t break through.

In my experience, that’s the market whispering, “Hey, there’s a wall here.” I’m not in the business of waiting for walls to crumble. So I tightened my target and took the fill — $225 per contract in the bank. With five contracts, that’s a solid $1,000.

The Takeaway

Two trades, both winners, but the real win was the reminder:

• Patience gets you in.
• Speed gets you out.
• Discipline keeps you profitable.

The Sonic Trading System gave me the setups. My job was just to listen to the market, trust my rules, and act when it mattered.
