Why not 16:00?
Because 16:14:59 is the End Of Day, and accurate pivots use the EOD time of the previous day.

(CME times are Central, not Eastern)

Also, because Sierra's bar timestamp is at the Open, the EOD end time is 1 second less, e.g. 16:15:00 needs to be 16:14:59. This is necessary so that the values are not later than 16:15:00 because the 16:15:00 bar contains data after 16:15:00.
