Sam,
The 1 PM bar on Sep 21st 2008 is not a PH!!!
If at all we can consider a PH is bar at 2 PM on 21st Sep. too....visually the bars at 2, 3 and 4 PM look like a multiple bar PH and 2 PM bar level on 21st being the highest, its level is to be considered as PH for SAR!! My view is that our SAR remains at 20th Sep PH, also after this PH is made at 2 PM on 21st Sep....to me it looks like a PH only after the 10 AM bar is completed on 22nd Sep. Till then my SAR remains at 21st Sep 2 PM bar's high and on 22nd Sep, at 10 AM I change it to the high of 22nd Sep , 2 PM bar!!!
A valid pivot at 2 PM on 21st cannot be influenced by a valid Pivots level of 2 PM on 20th!!! It is irrelevant whether the level is higher or lower than the previous Pivot in considereing it as a Pivot!!
A bar can be judged as a Pivot only after a bar after it is completed, and not before that!!! For 2 PM bar to be a valid PH, the bar at 3 PM must close and must not breach the high of 2 PM bar!!
Hopefully I am correct!!!!
I am taking that the the above bars you have mentioned are of Sep 20 and Sep 21.
Sep 21 , 1pm bar is your point number 3.
At the end of this bar, we have a valid pivot in our hands (even if it is lower than Sep 20 2pm bar, your point number 2). IMHO, this is a valid pivot as per SAint's rules, as per my understanding.

We are happy to have got a pivot. Assuming we are short, our SAR immediately moves to the high of this bar + filter. We are indeed waiting for this to be taken out and happy to go long also at that point (Because our SAR after going long would be the very same bar and so less risk). We do this at the completion of the Sep 21 1pm bar and beginning of the next bar.
We need not wait for the next bar to complete. By waiting for the next bar to complete (assuming the wait is for confirmation of the pivot) we bring in subjectivity into play. The next bar could have been a WRB etc etc......
