Here's one way of trading using the Keltner Channels. This one has about a 40% winning percentage, 1.5 profit factor and a ratio of win to loss of about 2.3 on the 60 minute S&P.

You can improve it by changing the exit strategies. Or even the entry criteria by having the Close crossing above the Upper Channel for a buy and crossing the Lower Channel for a short and then use an internal trailing stop to exit.
