My name is Sonic. Before you do anything else in trading, I want you to read The 5 Steps to becoming a trader (5 steps pdf. below) .
A Sonicdeejay Story
I have been trading for a near 6 years now (Since 2008) and been full with cheers and tears.
Just like many of you. I started out looking for the holy grail <aka> indicators that gives buy/sell with no loss.
Soon, I found out that my trading statement is going no where, with messy charts and too many indicators to confirm.
That causes the late signal trigger; minimizing my wins and maximizing my losses.
I start to realize that indicators are all based on prices, according to their formula, causing them to lag behind the price movement.
After reading many books, crawling different systems and LIVE trading, I have come to a conclusion.
There is no “mechanical” systems or indicators that can really predict where the price will go with 60~100% accuracy.
The market doesn’t care about “mechanical” systems and indicators.
I came to understand the importance of Trade/Risk Management, General trend (Bias) , S & R.
So, I started Sonic R with the intention to share and learn from traders alike.
Few comes and goes, until traderathome came along. He is a great man with pure heart.
He put countless hours into our Sonic R templates and educating others. We will not be where we are here without his endless support.
The Sonic R Philosophy
Trading is a probability business.
Even you put tons of hours for a set up and it still can turn sour..
You can win and you can lose too.
It is your job to minimize your loss and maximize your win.
You will follow set of rules that will help you on the winning sides most of the time.
The Rise of Sonic R
Here is a simple, nice and profitable 15M swing system that I get inspired from Raghee ‘s book.
A Blindly followed Moving Averages system can be very successful in trending market, but I am around here long enough to witness the failure of it, when the market goes into ranging periods.
So, I fine tuned the system with understanding of analysis of Price action (including Waves), Volume and S & R, and I am getting high success rate on my position/swing trading.
I’d like to call it the Sonic R. System.
Now, it is not the magic bullet, nothing is.
It is a simple EMA based yet effective system.
You can earn 50 to 400+ pips on a trade.

Serious Recomendations
1. Do not over trade big-time, or trade during Asian Session. Most of the best setups with proper follow-thru occur after the London session opens. You shouldn’t trade more than 5 trades a week. Look for quality setups, not quantity.
2. Never add to a losing position, <aka> average your positions. With the advent of Scout trades and PVSRA, there is the temptation to do so when price moves against your trade. You’d better have done a very good PVSRA and the results had better be very much in support of adding, before you do so.
3. Your SL must wide enough to for the price to breathe. If you put it too tight, the chance of getting your SL hit is very high even though the price eventually goes in the direction you wanted. For example, I recommend you use a SL of up to 100 pips when trading EURUSD.
