Today, we’re focusing on a simple but powerful lesson in trade management—something that can make or break your success as a trader.
✅ Trade in Focus: E-Mini S&P Long
Using the Sonic System, I received a long signal on the E-Mini S&P. I entered with a single contract, targeting 5574.25, as indicated by the system.
⚠️ Reminder: Trading is risky. Always use risk capital—never money you can’t afford to lose. If you’re new, start by practicing in simulation and trade micros before moving to full contracts.
🧠 Key Lesson: What If Price Hits Your Target… but You Don’t Get Filled?
That’s exactly what happened here. The market touched my target, but the limit order didn’t fill. This is where smart management comes in.
Here’s a pro tip: If price hits your target but doesn’t fill you, and it comes back a second time—close the trade. Don’t wait for it to reverse.
Why? Because early in the session, the market often retests key levels. If it’s struggling to push through your target, it could reverse. It’s better to exit at or near target than let a winning trade turn red.
In this case, I was eventually filled—but I was ready to close it manually if needed.
