Today's trading results: 
- EURGBP Frankenbreak +5 pips
I tried the Frankenbreak today. I don't have the indicator so I added a buffer on my own and only aimed for +5 pips. I would've countered at the high of the range if it went against me. I could've targeted more and aim for +9 pips (the range of the Frankenbreak), but I just grabbed 5 pips today. I'm not too good at letting trades run because of my fear it would reverse. I hope I can get better at letting trades run.
I was not planning on trading DZ today because I'm happy with +5 pips. Is this okay, or should I be consistent with my trading routine? Any thoughts guys?
Here's a screenshot of today's trade. (EURGBP M5 chart)

Today's trading results: EURGBP Frankenbreak +5 pips
Well done bagging your first Frankenbreak pips. Also don't worry about taking ''only'' +5 pips (we all know the power of those +5's around here).
Also - and this is one thing that has kind of been forgotten - the stats that I have that drove my decisions when putting the FB together are based around bagging +5 every day. Getting any more is just jam on top. (The trade is only taken when the range is less that 20 pips as well).
I have been playing around with a new indi that you can have (I hate to see someone going without
) and I'll pm you sometime today about it. It's set up with tp targets of +5, +10 and +20. As for your decision to drop The DZ (and anything else) today, well, guess what - so did I. When you're not feeling it, you sure shouldn't be forcing it. I ran the trades that I was already in and didn't get involved in anything after the US Open.

{quote} Claudia got the garden bit right. My five year old grandson asked me to sit on the bench. Whereupon, he climbed onto the bench and snatched the hat from my head, and ran off, pursued by myself, around the garden. And some nursery rhymes repeat in my head at all hours!!

Evening, folks. Hope everyone did well today.
After The Frankenbreak and my Brent-US Crude excursion, I spent the rest of the day wrangling 1-2-3 trades (including a lovely short on Cable, just for Claudia). (Wrangling is perhaps a tad strong - sat and watched them do their stuff in between trawling YouTube is closer to the mark).
Either way, I was busy enough that I dropped The Dead Zone for today. Looking back, I could have been in-and-out quickly enough without splitting my attention that much after all - but hey, there you go. Cookie crumbled.
Anyway, here's how the charts played out...
