>What are your criterion for a swinghigh to become a point 1, 2, or 3?

My personal criteria is eyeball and look for clear three drives. I do want
each drive to make at least a slightly higher high and prefer that each
drive be clearly visible.  I also want momentum (whatever oscillator you
use) to be declining.  In short, eyeball only.

I view drawing trendlines as art rather than science.  Most of mine
(particularly when they are intraday) are subjective. I wish I could give a
better answer, but I can't. 

Do you have objective rules for

Not really, but the setup does stand out and the viewpoints should be
similar.  In fact I have had several e-mails on the last two setups in the
bonds where others have spotted the set up as quickly as I did. 

Thanks for responding,
