can't win them all. Did I do something wrong?

1h kumo break up; entered on closed candle above kumo
day kumo long
sl behind 1h kumo+20 pip bugger
stopped out near NFP which is bad time to be taking chances

When entering a new trade do you place sl below entry candle's kumo or the future kumo?

Ucad stopped at bsmall loss following future kumo sl+ 20 buffer. Eu and Au in nice profit.

Just remember this, I think 15M scalping the london open is best left to the opening 2 to 3 hours ONLY. You will note from backtesting that the rallies often last for 2hours, maybe up to 4 if your lucky.

Zoom back out to 1H after this period, and just don't take any more 15M signals outside the 7am-9am London time.

Trust me, I have been burnt to a crisp many many times over the last 3 weeks trading by over-trading the 15M into the worst part of the day -- the London-New York overlap (i.e. feel like I missed the rally, "damn!" impatient to...
Chngster, I don't think you will get more than one kumo breakout per session, so if one did not enter at the right price then one should look for another pair. it's all about entry, and one should ride the breakout till SL is activated or profit is hit.

the only thing wrong is the timing, at times of high volatility you should either wait or give your trade a wide SL to breath, which also means a smaller size.

first of all thanx for the very useful information posted by the thread starter in this thread.I am new to this indicator.I am a bit confused about the chinkou span line.In 3 of my different trading terminals,its almost about 26 candles behind in all time frames.I am confused how to confirm a buy signal which is usually confirmed when the chinkou span line is above the price and a sell signal which is usually confirmed when the price is below the chinkou span line?Its lagging behind 26 candlesticks so how can I check whether the price is above or below that?
Secondly,I want to ask that which time frame is the best from ur experience for this indicator?

Any help would be really appreciated.Thanx in advance

Death by tray it is but I need brown bread man! Brown bread......looks like.....brown!

by the way, kumo break 1hr.....also if you look at 1hr there is a little head and shoulders that formed before nfp. I wonder if we are seeing a long term trend change?

Green pips all around. Need brown bread for bread gun!! lol
