rkelman - an objective short (with a stop just above) would be
near the top of the channel (see my post below). You should
look for a trigger on a shorter term chart to enter. Matt
showed one example of a trigger in last nights update.

Remember to employ a 15 - 20 min
gap
rulei.e. see how the
market holds up the 1st 15 - 20 min i.e.
Draw 2 horizontal lines; one at the lows and one at the highs
of the first 15 - 20 min. If the market can stay above the 15 min
high candle bar, the it is considered positive and the gap could
possibly hold up for the day , however if the market falls below
the 15 min low, then the likelihood of the gap fading increases
greatly. Realize that this is just a technique only and
doesn't work all the time!
