Today’s price action provided a textbook opportunity to go long. If you’ve been watching the markets, especially the E-mini S&P 500, you saw the signs—both technically and fundamentally—that the market was ready to bounce. In this post, I’ll break down why we leaned long, how we traded it live using the Sonic System, and what you should keep in mind moving forward.
🔍 Price Action + Fundamentals = Long Bias
The market spent the previous sessions in a consistent downtrend—but that changed this morning. Here’s what we observed:
-
The market pivoted from the lows
-
It began climbing back, forming higher lows
-
Most importantly, it broke above the 50% retracement, a key technical level
-
Momentum shifted back toward the previous highs
This behavior set the tone for a bullish session. While nothing in trading is guaranteed, everything pointed toward the long side.
🛠️ Live Trades Using the Sonic System
I always prefer to start trading 15 minutes after the open. The initial volatility tends to settle, giving us cleaner setups. Here’s how the day played out using the Sonic System:
✅ Trade #1
-
Entry: 5878
-
Strategy: Wait for the market to calm post-open, then follow the long signal
-
Result: Quick win
📌 Stick to your plan—no need to re-enter once the trade hits target.
✅ Trade #2
-
Entry Signal: 5889.75
-
Approach: Waited for a slightly better entry price to improve the risk-to-reward
-
Result: Target hit with no chasing
📌 Discipline over FOMO every time.
✅ Trade #3
-
Another Sonic long signal fired
-
Entered on confirmation
-
Trade reached target in under 2 minutes
📌 If a trade repeatedly fails to hit your target, exit. Don’t wait forever—time matters.
✅ Trade #4
-
Took one final long
-
Profit per contract: ~$125
-
All trades were using default Sonic settings (1x ATR target)
📌 Customize the target if needed—scalpers can aim for quicker exits.
⚙️ Why the Sonic System Delivers

🎯 Don’t Overtrade – Know When to Walk Away
By the time I finished my fourth trade, I was well into profit. Could I have kept going? Sure. But one of the most important lessons in trading is this:
“Know when to stop. Overtrading turns winners into losers.”
Take 3–5 high-quality trades. If you walk away with $500 to $1,000 in the first 20 minutes—lock it in and call it a day.
