II. Strategy Configuration Analysis
2.1 Basic Risk Parameters
# ROI Exit Table - RPB Rapid Profit Mode
minimal_roi = {
"0": 0.065, # Immediate: 6.5% rapid take-profit
"15": 0.035, # After 15 minutes: 3.5% take-profit
"45": 0.015, # After 45 minutes: 1.5% take-profit
"90": 0 # After 90 minutes: exit via stoploss only
}
# Stoploss Settings
stoploss = -0.08 # -8% stoploss (tighter than base version)
# Trailing Stop
trailing_stop = True
trailing_stop_positive = 0.015
trailing_stop_positive_offset = 0.025
Design Philosophy:
- RPB Design: More aggressive take-profit strategy, immediately targeting 6.5% returns
- Tighter Stoploss: -8% is tighter than the base version, controlling risk
- Trailing Stop: Triggers at 2.5% retrace to protect profits
2.2 Order Type Configuration
order_types = {
"entry": "limit",
"exit": "limit",
"exit_stop_loss": "market",
"entry_timeout": 15,
"exit_timeout": 15,
}
