II. Strategy Configuration Analysis​

2.1 Basic Risk Parameters​

# ROI Exit Table
minimal_roi = {
    "0": 0.15,    # Immediate exit: 15% profit
    "30": 0.10,   # After 30 minutes: 10% profit
    "60": 0.06,   # After 60 minutes: 6% profit
    "120": 0.03   # After 120 minutes: 3% profit
}

# Stoploss Settings
stoploss = -0.15  # -15% hard stoploss

# Trailing Stop
trailing_stop = True
trailing_stop_positive = 0.05        # 5% trailing start
trailing_stop_positive_offset = 0.08 # 8% offset trigger

Design Philosophy:

  • High Take-Profit Target: 15% initial target, pursues big profits
  • Loose Stoploss: -15% stoploss, gives more volatility room
  • Trailing Lock: Activates after 8% profit, protects profits

III. Risk Management Highlights​

3.1 High Take-Profit Risk Considerations​

  • Higher target means lower probability of achievement
  • Needs greater market volatility to support
  • May result in longer holding periods

3.2 Loose Stoploss Logic​

  • Allows larger volatility room
  • Reduces probability of being shaken out
  • But single loss may be larger
