Risk Disclaimer: Trade Wisely
Before we dive in, a quick reminder: trading involves risk. Only trade with money you can afford to lose, and ensure you understand the potential risks before entering the market.
Why Use a 30-Second Chart for the NASDAQ?
The NASDAQ is known for its volatility and speed, making it ideal for shorter timeframes like a 30-second chart. This allows you to capture quick price movements without holding positions for long periods. Many traders prefer the Sonic system for this market because it helps them make fast, decisive trades.
Today, I’ll walk you through how to trade the NASDAQ and E-mini S&P side by side, giving you a clear view of how price action works in both markets.
Executing a Short Trade on the Micro E-mini NASDAQ
Let’s start with a short trade at 1877.25 in the Micro E-mini NASDAQ. Once you receive the entry signal, it’s crucial to adjust your targets and stops according to the Sonic system’s rules. You’ll see green and red lines on your chart representing your target and stop positions.
In the upcoming system update, you can change these colors to suit your preference—for example, using yellow instead of green for targets. This flexibility helps you visually track your trades, especially in a fast-paced market like NASDAQ.
Short Trade on the E-mini S&P 500
Next, we’ll look at a short trade on the E-mini S&P 500. While the S&P tends to move at a slower pace compared to the NASDAQ, the principles of the Sonic system still apply. Using a 1-minute chart for the E-mini, you’ll find that trades take a bit longer to generate, but they’re just as effective.
Always aim for a better price when placing your trade. This is something we emphasize in the Sonic system training. A small improvement in entry price can make a big difference in your trade’s success.
Managing Your Trades with the Sonic System
A key aspect of trading with the Sonic system is time management. You should avoid staying in a trade for too long. The Sonic system’s time-based stops are designed to help you get out of unproductive trades quickly. Ideally, trades using short timeframes like the 30-second chart should last no more than 10-15 minutes. If the market isn’t moving in your favor by then, it’s better to exit and avoid unnecessary risk.
Start Small and Scale Up Gradually
If you’re new to the Sonic system, start with just one contract—whether it’s a micro or mini. This allows you to get comfortable with the process without exposing too much capital. As you gain confidence, you can scale up to two, three, or more contracts, depending on the market conditions. Starting small and gradually increasing your trade size is key to long-term success.
