A channel is simply formed through the combination of a trend line support that runs parallel to a trend line resistance. When it comes to a channel any (3) points can start the channel, but it's the 4th test and beyond that confirm it. You can see that GS has multiple test points between the channel resistance (red) and the channel support (blue).
