On the hourly chart I check after each hour the MACD. We have a signal when the MACD Line crossed the Signal Line. I open a market order in the direction of the signal and stay in the trade until I get a signal in the opposite direction.

Risk Management: My stop loss is at the previous low in case of a buy and at the previous high in case of a sell.  Money-Management: For each trade I risk LESS THAN ONE PERCENT.

Exit: I exit the trade when I get a signal in the opposite direction.
