Mr. Too Slow, do I understand that correctly: if the new hour sets a new Open low or Open high and we want to apply the 5min bar or 15min bar rule, we can not enter right away at the beginning of the next hour?! We will have to wait for the next 5 or 15 min bars to open below or above the new Open.

Sometimes price turns around right at the open but sometimes price keeps moving. That rule just prevented me from entering a long USDCHF trade but it made me miss a potential short NZDUSD trade.

Stopped moved to yesterday's high + 1 pip.
Price returning to this level could trigger a breakout.

It never hurts to wait.

USDCHF long trade entry on the 5min chart.

Purple line is the Open low. Stop is at BE +1. Now comes the task of managing the trade through trailing

Habo:

The rules are guidelines.
Methods of bending the rules have been posted.
There is no "right" or "wrong" way.
There is no way of knowing what price will do next.
It is a best guess.

The question is would you rather miss a few winners and eliminate a bunch of losers or take your chances?

Let experience be your guide.
As you gain experience, you will have a gut feel or spidey sense when to dance and when to sit the dance out.
