Core Design

Three Levels of Downside Protection (Safe Dips)

The strategy has three strictness levels for pullback protection:

Level	1 Candle	2 Candles	12 Candles	144 Candles
Normal	<2%	<14%	<32%	<50%
Strict	<1.5%	<10%	<24%	<42%
Loose	<2.6%	<24%	<42%	<66%

Translation: The strategy checks how badly the price has dropped over 4 different time windows. If the drop is too big, it refuses to buy — "don't catch a falling knife!"

Three Levels of Upside Protection (Safe Pump)

Similarly, three levels check for recent surges (24h/36h/48h):

Level	24h Threshold	36h Threshold	48h Threshold
Normal	0.5/1.75	0.56/1.75	0.85/1.75
Strict	0.4/2.2	0.56/2.0	0.68/2.0
Loose	0.66/1.7	0.7/1.7	1.3/1.4

Translation: Won't buy if the price recently surged too much. Needs either a small rise, or a big rise that's already pulled back.

Multi-Timeframe Coordination

5-Minute + 1-Hour Teamwork

1-Hour:
├── Trend Direction (EMA50 > EMA200, EMA100 > EMA200)
├── Pump Protection (safe_pump_24/36/48_1h)
└── RSI Range Filter

5-Minute:
├── Precise Entry (BB position, MA offset, RSI oversold)
└── Precise Exit (RSI overbought, BB upper, MA offset sell)

Example Buy Logic (Condition #1):

1. 1h: EMA50 > EMA200 (confirm major trend is up)
2. 1h: safe_pump_24 (confirm no recent pump)
3. 5m: safe_dips_strict (confirm no excessive dip)
4. 5m: RSI < 36 (confirm short-term oversold)
5. 5m: MFI < 26 (confirm money flow has bottomed)

Sell Logic

Gradient Profit-Taking

The strategy uses gradient profit-taking — the more you earn, the more patient it becomes:

• High profit (>20%): Waits for RSI < 34 (very conservative exit)
• Medium profit (10%–20%): RSI < 42
• Low profit (5%–10%): RSI < 50
• Tiny profit (<5%): RSI < 54 (exits fairly quickly)

Translation: Made big money? Be patient. Made small money? Be conservative. Profit is profit!

Trailing Stop

trailing_stop = True
trailing_stop_positive = 0.01      # 1% trailing
trailing_stop_positive_offset = 0.03  # Activates at 3% profit

When profit exceeds 3%, a trailing stop kicks in. If price pulls back 1% from its peak, it exits.
