It's not that i'm not getting it. Ease up with the attitude. I will post EU GU charts when i get home and nothing crossed the cloud.

no attitude here bro! you stated in a previous post that you did not see price leaving the kumo cloud, specifically on GU - i simply posted a chart where price is blasting out of the cloud in both directions.

Fair enough. Kinda hard to judge tone in a post

Anyway I'll show you what i was seeing for both the EU and GU and you'll notice I wasn't anywhere close to a proper entry The latter part of the GU chart was this morning before work and i was unable to catch that exit out of the cloud too I clearly can't trade the proper sessions.

My settings are 8-24-48 and 15pip bars...

We use very different settings and bar ranges... thus the different entry points.

I am not going to suggest you change (every trader needs to find his/her own comfort zone), rather just acknowledge that there are going to be days when you don't catch the trade. There are plenty of trades in which I set limit orders and don't get taken in - it pisses me off, especially when price shot past my entry, but hey, its part of the game. Nothing you can do but be ready for the next one.

i think you did good not forcing what was not there (for you).

Ya. As much as I'd love to be in every night and catch everything I know that's just impossible.

I'd be interested in hearing what the settings you use. Do you usually grab the 30 and out, or do you ride for more?

i use my own settings cuz i like fib numbers so any settings i plug in have to be fibonacci!

I also use a 5pip range bar.
I also do not go for 30. I trade in multiples of 2 and take 1 unit off at 21 pips and trail the second unit with a 8 pip step. So on the second I average 13-18 pips and every once in a while I catch a runner for 50+. I also move my stop to break-even after 13 pips.

I may be overdoing it - but i have found that for my personality it is best to book something on every good trade but then I also get annoyed when I can't participate in the big moves so the second unit placates my inner psychosis, even though most of the time I would make a little more taking both units off at 21. Trading is personal and you gotta figure out what works for you.

I remove it--- Please take the original concept -- any see what work for your trading style (some of us came up with many different ways how to trade it-- from different setting to different rangebars size) and are doing well.
In the end all works-
For example
sisi -unimak - few guy in UK - Ukraine - Romania - Australia - Canada - USA - Japan- Malaysia - Singapore -- all are doing fine with there own setting and rangebars --

they key or 2 main indicators -- Cloud and rangebars
