Roth03 Strategy: The Aggressive Bottom Picker
Nickname: The Daredevil Bottom Hunter
Specialty: Aggressive Oversold Bounce Hunter
Time Frame: 5 minutes
I. What Is This Strategy?
Simply put, Roth03 is a strategy that:
- A more aggressive bottom-picking strategy than Roth01
- Wider stop-loss, higher profit targets
- Uses fastd instead of CCI for confirmation
Like Roth01's "turbo version" — bigger guts, bigger ambitions 🤣
II. Core Configuration: "Big Guts + Quick Exit"
Take-Profit Rules (ROI Table)
Right after buying: Run with 24.6% profit
After 33 minutes: Run with 7.2% profit
After 90 minutes: Run with 1.5% profit
After 111 minutes: Any profit will do
Translation: Wants 24.6% right off the bat — pretty ambitious! But will compromise over time.
Stop-Loss Rule
Cut losses at -31.9%
Translation: Even wider than Roth01! The strategy is saying "I trust I can pick the bottom, give me room to wiggle!"
III. 1 Buy Condition: Smart Bottom-Picking
This strategy also has a single buy signal, but it's a bit different from Roth01:
🎯 Buy Trio
Plain English:
"Price breaks below Bollinger lower band + fastd above 37 (not extreme oversold) + MFI below 20 (money has fled). Time to pick bottoms — there's rebound momentum!"
Detailed Breakdown:
| Condition | Code | Plain English |
|---|---|---|
| Below lower band | Close < BB_Low | Price breaks below Bollinger lower band |
| Momentum confirmation | fastd > 37 | Fast stochastic above 37, has rebound potential |
| Money fled | MFI < 20 | Money flow extremely contracted |
Difference from Roth01:
- Roth01 uses CCI to confirm oversold, Roth03 uses fastd
- Roth03's MFI threshold is stricter (20 vs 24)
- The fastd > 37 condition is clever — not extreme oversold, but "somewhat oversold with rebound momentum"
IV. Sell Logic: Four-Piece Exit
This strategy's sell conditions are simpler than Roth01:
4.1 Sell Quartet
| Condition | Code | Plain English |
|---|---|---|
| SAR reversal | SAR > Close | Parabolic SAR says trend is reversing |
| RSI overbought | RSI > 69 | Relative Strength Index is overbought |
| Money rushed in | MFI > 86 | Heavy capital inflow |
| fastd confirmation | fastd > 79 | Fast stochastic confirms overbought |
Plain English:
"SAR reversed, RSI overbought, money rushed in, fastd also says run — alright, let's go!"
4.2 Sell Comparison with Roth01
| Comparison | Roth01 | Roth03 |
|---|---|---|
| Number of conditions | 6 | 4 |
| Bollinger upper band | Must break above | Not checked |
| CCI confirmation | Yes | No |
| fastd confirmation | No | Yes |
| Sell logic | More conservative | Simpler |
4.3 Tiered ROI Take-Profit
| Holding Time | Target Profit | Mindset |
|---|---|---|
| 0-33 minutes | 24.6% | I want big money! |
| 33-90 minutes | 7.2% | Still okay |
| 90-111 minutes | 1.5% | At least something |
| >111 minutes | 0% | Just break even... |

Manual Trader Tips
If you trade manually, you can reference this approach:
- Watch for assets with MFI < 20 and price below Bollinger lower band
- Wait for fastd > 37 to confirm rebound momentum
- Set your stop-loss, don't be greedy
XIII. ⚠️ Risk Re-emphasis (Must Read!)
Backtesting Is Beautiful, Live Trading Requires Caution
Roth03's historical backtest may look good — but there's a trap:
The cost of aggressive bottom-picking: When you fail, losses are bigger.
Simply put: Big guts are a double-edged sword, win more, lose more
Hidden Risks of Complex Strategies
In live trading, watch out for:
- Slippage in Extreme Conditions: Liquidity may be poor during rapid declines
- Stop-Loss Execution Issues: With -31.9% stop-loss, you might have lost even more by the time it triggers
- False Rebound Risk: fastd confirmation can also be wrong
My Advice (From the Heart)
1. Adjust stop-loss to around -20%, don't use the default -31.9%
2. Don't go all-in on this strategy, pair with a trend strategy for hedging
3. Don't use it when the market is crashing, you won't catch the bottom
4. Paper trade first, then go live
5. If you're afraid of losing too much, use Roth01 instead
Remember: No matter how good the strategy is, the market will teach you a lesson without warning. Test with small positions, staying alive is what matters! 🙏
