Hey Rad,
Good to see you back posting again. While I have read TRO's stuff in the past, but never delved too much into it. At the risk of sounding lazy (which I am not

), wouldn't the 'if hour is up/down" be in a constant state of change until the end of the hour?
Or is it that if the current candle at the present time is above the hrly open, then we are looking for longs, but 5mins later it could be short, then our bias changes?
Looking forward to your further posts.
Regards,
K.
