II. Strategy Configuration Analysis​

2.1 Basic Risk Parameters​

# Typical Configuration
minimal_roi = {
    "0": 0.08,    # Immediate exit: 8% profit
    "15": 0.05,   # After 15 minutes: 5% profit
    "60": 0.03,   # After 60 minutes: 3% profit
    "240": 0.01   # After 4 hours: 1% profit
}

# Stop-Loss Settings
stoploss = -0.03  # -3% hard stop-loss (tight)

Design Philosophy:

  • Stepped exit: Adjust take-profit targets based on holding time
  • Tight stop-loss: -3% controls single-trade loss
  • Quick exit: Exit quickly when the market reverses

III. Entry Conditions Details​

3.1 Multi-Period EMA Confirmation​

# Typical Buy Condition
dataframe.loc[
    (
        # Main period condition
        (dataframe['ema_fast'] > dataframe['ema_slow']) &
        # Informational period condition
        (dataframe['ema_fast_inf'] > dataframe['ema_slow_inf']) &
        # Price confirmation
        (dataframe['close'] > dataframe['ema_fast'])
    ),
    'buy'
] = 1

Logic Breakdown:

  • Main period confirmation: Current trading period trend is up
  • Informational period confirmation: Higher timeframe trend is also up
  • Price confirmation: Closing price above fast EMA
