Today, I want to walk you through a quick, live trade using the Sonic System on the Micro E-Mini S&P (MES). This trade highlights just how efficient and powerful price action strategies can be when applied with precision and confidence.

🛠 The Setup: Spotting Opportunity in Real Time

Right after wrapping up a video covering setups on Crude Oil, NASDAQ, Bitcoin, and the E-Mini, I spotted a clean entry on the MES. I hit record and executed a long trade live.

Key details:

• Instrument: Micro E-Mini S&P (MES)
• Direction: Long
• Risk-to-Reward: About 1:1 – target and stop were equidistant
• Method: Sonic System (price action-focused, no indicators)

This trade had the right setup and momentum. I liked the balance of risk and reward, and more importantly—I wanted to show how quickly you can act when your system gives you a green light.

🧩 Duplicating the Trade on the ES

To show how adaptable the Sonic System is, I entered the exact same trade on the full-size E-Mini S&P (ES). Whether you’re trading micros or full contracts, the strategy applies seamlessly.

Some traders prefer the MNQ (Micro NASDAQ) or the MES for smaller sizing, but the core idea stays the same: structure your trades with precision and keep your risk under control.

🎯 Target Hit, Now What?

On the MES, the price quickly hit the profit target—perfect. Meanwhile, the ES trade was still active, so I adjusted my stop and target levels using the chart trader tool.

This is something I always emphasize:
👉 Adjust your trade dynamically. Don’t “set and forget” unless you have a very specific reason.

If price stalls or lingers below your entry for too long, that’s a warning sign. A trade should move in your favor shortly after entry—if not, it might be best to get out and reassess.

❌ The Biggest Mistake: Holding Losers Too Long

Many traders hesitate to close a trade that’s not working out, hoping it will turn around. This can be a costly habit.

Here’s the truth:
✅ Taking a small loss or exiting at break-even is completely fine.
🚫 Holding a bad trade and moving your stop? That’s what gets traders in trouble.

Don’t be afraid to cut a trade early if it’s not playing out as expected. Discipline will save your account—hope will not.

📉 Slippage Tip: Move the Limit, Not the Stop

If you want to exit a trade quickly but cleanly, avoid unnecessary slippage:

• Use a limit order to close your trade if you can
• MIT (Market If Touched) orders can convert into market orders and cause slippage
• Precision beats panic

It’s all about managing risk and execution. Don’t leave it up to luck.
