On a day like today, i.e., a trend day, it's easy to come up the wrong conclusions regarding volume since the smaller waves are pretty much irrelevant to the larger.

The key here is shorting resistance at 2005. After that, all you have to do is follow the line of least resistance by means of trend lines and swing points. Typically, price will move sideways during lunch on days like this, and it did so today. Since it rose above a prior swing point only once, at 1300 (ET), you needn't do anything more than just wait and watch your profits increase.
Hindsight is 20/20... if price had gone up all day, you prob'ly would've said 'the key here is buying support at 1990'. After all, price opened around support, the trend from yesterday was up. There's a very similar example in your blog. So why not do it today? After all, price traveled all the way to resistance next. You can even draw a demandline next to it.
