Today, we’re diving into the markets using the Sonic Trading System and the Trade Scalper to analyze trading opportunities. As always, a quick reminder—trading is risky, and you should never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose.
Market Overview & Trading Strategy
The Sonic Trading System is signaling a short trade at 55.9375, aligning with the overall bearish trend. Market conditions are still favoring selling pressure, though this could change later in the day. To enhance our analysis, we’ve also added the Market News Indicator, which provides real-time news alerts, keeping us informed of any upcoming events that could impact market movements.
For those who don’t have the News Indicator, you can download it for free at daytradetowin.com by signing up for a free member account. This tool is especially useful for NinjaTrader users, helping traders stay ahead of sudden market changes.
Analyzing Signals & Trade Execution
Currently, both the Sonic Trading System and the Trade Scalper are confirming short opportunities. We have a new package available, where purchasing the Sonic System now includes the Trade Scalper as a bonus!
I’ve executed a short trade based on a Trade Scalper signal, entering with one contract. It’s important to monitor market volatility before entering any trade—too much or too little movement can impact your trade outcomes. We use the ATR (Average True Range) to gauge market speed and adjust targets accordingly.
For beginners, I recommend trading micro contracts instead of standard E-mini contracts:
- MES for E-mini S&P 500
- MNQ for Nasdaq
These contracts allow traders to manage risk more effectively.
Short Trade Strategies & Risk Management
The market is still trending down, and we continue to focus on short positions. Here’s how I optimize my trade execution:
- Entering at a better price: I aim to enter a tick or two better than the market price to improve my risk-to-reward ratio.
- Assessing risk-to-reward: I ensure a 50/50 or better ratio before taking a trade. Some setups allow for 60/40, but I avoid poor risk-reward trades.
- Adjusting targets dynamically: The Sonic System automatically adjusts targets based on market conditions.
In today’s session, my target was 55.83, with an entry at 55.8750. I always recommend adjusting trade size based on market volatility—smaller targets in slow markets, larger targets in fast markets.
Live Trading Session Recap
To confirm that this is a live trading session, I’ve included an online clock on the screen. While I’ve sped up portions of the video for efficiency, all trades are executed in real time.
Trade Recap:
- Entry: 55.79 ¼
- Target: 55.74
- Profit: 4 points ($200 per contract)
On my previous trade, I secured 5 points ($250 per contract). A realistic daily goal for traders using one contract is around $400-$500, which is achievable within 30-60 minutes if rules are followed.
The Realities of Trading
Let’s be clear—trading is not easy. It’s emotional, requires discipline, and involves real risk. Here’s my advice:
- Practice first: Use a simulated account before trading live.
- Join our live classes: We offer daily training sessions and a special one-on-one session on Fridays for personalized coaching.
- Start small: When you go live, trade conservatively and build confidence.
- Have realistic goals: Avoid aiming for $1,000+ per day unless trading multiple contracts.
