As I look at the crowd on Gobbler's Knob
Many shadows do I see
So six more weeks of winter it must be!

a trend following idea

S&P model

If S&P futures does not trade 4 points into the gap by lunch, model says it should trade higher in the afternoon. Watching for lunch time consolidation, pullback, flag, low ticks as a way to get in. 

Doesn't always work out that way, but its a game plan in place.
