Thanks Tom.
 
 
"There is no rule that I am aware of that says a market 
must consolidate prior to a breakout.  I have seen markets perform 
trendline, triangle, flag, pennant and other breakouts without any preceding 
consolidation period many times. "
 
 
I know there are many ways for a stock to start a trend but my interest was 
in this pattern.  I guess it could also be called a trading range.  I 
was trying to get a handle on how to set parameters.  I realize that these 
are individual preferences based on style and experience and probably market 
conditions and there are an unknown number of other variables that make this 
question rather nebulous.  I guess my intent is to get some input for a 
starting point.  If price is trading in a range of 10% over 10 market days 
would that qualify or should it be some minimum such as 10% from high to low 
over 30 days?  
 
I suppose this is a philosophical question?
