Went back to Teach a man....compilation and read the relevant things last night.
Most of the trades now become clear,only means that we have to visit that thread again and again,we tend to overlook many things.
My understanding of raising stop to 3342-7 is as under :
I am looking at 15 min chart, 10=00 and 10=15 were two up bars,then we had 10=30 and 10=45 bars as two corrective bars,then came a breakout 11=00 bar and the low of this bar (3342-7) if cracked will null the up breakout and the mkt will turn bearish.
11=15 bar ,a kind of doing nothing bar but a black candle,still ok,
11=30 bar again a black candle and cause for worry,it gave a black candle on 30 as well,time to bring the stop and reverse to 3342-7
11=45 bar the SAR hit,putting us in short position and the rest is history !!!
Happy for having figured it out, hopefully correctly.

ST, But we are trading 30 minutes charts!! How do we figure it out on the 30 minutes chart!!!
The main thing to understand is :
When and why do we decide to have a Lower time frame ( 15 minutes ) perspective!!!!
My 2 bits and I may be totally wrong : (I am yet to trade this system)
We are long as per our high plus filter.
10.30 bar is the one that triggers the long and is a big white candle, a WRB!
11.00 bar though a white candle and does not breach the high of 10.30 bar but closes above the close of 10.30 bar!!!
I read it as market trying to go up, but not yet bearish!!!
11.30 Bar : A small black candle
Now my reading is market unable to sustain the upward thrust, so I peek at 15 TF.
This what I see on 15 minutes chart at 11.30 : The 10.45 bar low as a minor PL (a minor Pivot, but as we consider all Pivots in this system, its a valid one to consider).
I move my SAR to 3320-7=3313!!!
This according to me is more in tune with the existing rules we are following!!!
