Agree 100% on this.
Trading holiday was mentioned so as not to confuse people reading the post as to why a date is missing. Yes it does not change the definition of the Pivot.
As mentioned at the begining of my post, my reply is as per my understanding, and the same may be erroneous.
I do not know about the chaos here.
I reversed on the basis of gap less room hence posted the same. As there is no Pivot being considered here the question of waiting for a bar to 'complete' does not arise in this case. The next bar did not breach the level of 'gap minus room' and the bar there after also did not breach the reversing level.
Why would you apply GAP rule when GAP OPENING was above the SAR ?????
Charts 1 is of Old rule era .. we were trading old rules then and the filter of 20 wasnt introduced then. At that time gap rule was applied only if it met following two conditions
1) against your trade 2)Surpasses your SAR.
Well lets go back to 17th Oct Chart ...
question related to pivot was asked that day

Price Stops three time at the same area.
The chart of 17th October is being discussed above.
And 12pm and 1pm bar are being considered as pivot.
Now look at todays chart ..leave 10am and 11 am bar.. look at 2pm and 3pm bar.. isnt it that price hit the same level again and reversed from there on each ocassion ... doesnt that call for pivot ... if yes then why shall we wait for 3:30pm bar to close to confirm it???????
Price being arrested at certain level multiple times definitely qualifies a pivot ...
