It’s Wednesday, and I decided to challenge myself with something straightforward yet revealing: taking five back-to-back trades using the Sonic System. No cherry-picking, no filtering, no skipping signals. Whatever happens, happens — and I’m here to share everything: the good, the bad, and what it all means for real traders like you.
Before we dive in, a quick reminder — trading is risky. Never risk money you can’t afford to lose. That said, if you’re looking to build a structured approach using price action, this post is packed with lessons.
Let’s get into it.
My first trade was a short at 5476. I followed the Sonic System setup, entered with a stop and target based on one times the ATR, and it worked perfectly. That trade hit the target and brought in $625. A solid start.
Then came trade number two — another short, this time at 5472.50. Unfortunately, this one went against me. I stuck to the rules, didn’t move my stop, and took a loss of $312. One win, one loss. That’s part of the game.
Trade number three showed why sticking to the system matters. I entered short at 5480, and the price moved in my favor right away. I hit my target and booked a $250 profit. Now I was two for three.
Next, trade number four. I got another short setup and entered, even though the risk-to-reward wasn’t ideal. The Sonic filter confirmed the direction, and I followed through. This trade was fast and clean, resulting in a $499 profit. That made it three winners out of four.
Finally, trade number five. A short entry at 5471.50. I jumped in a little late but didn’t let that shake my confidence. The trade played out just like I hoped, and I hit my target, adding another $625 to the day’s total.
So here’s where I landed: five trades, four winners, one loser. Total profit: $1,937. All done by 10:15 AM. And most importantly, I didn’t skip a single signal. Every trade followed the Sonic System to the letter.
What can you take from this? First, consistency wins. I didn’t overtrade or look for 20 setups — I focused on five high-quality trades and let the strategy do the work. Second, honor your stops. Accepting a loss is part of being a disciplined trader. Third, the trades that go your way quickly tend to be the best. Don’t ignore that clue when reading price action.
