Hi Jack,

You're quite right. Thanks for pointing out my error.

In this particular case, one would then need to enter intraday as the stock
passed the pivot on extrapolated volume 150%+ or would have to wait for a
slight pullback on lower volume in subsequent days and take a second chance
entry if they wanted to avoid the 5% extension beyond pivot.
