# Utility Subcommands
Besides the Live-Trade and Dry-Run run modes, the `backtesting` , `edge` and `hyperopt` optimization subcommands, and the `download-data` subcommand which prepares historical data, the bot contains a number of utility subcommands. They are described in this section.
2019-11-01 14:02:42 +00:00
## Create userdir
Creates the directory structure to hold your files for freqtrade.
Will also create strategy and hyperopt examples for you to get started.
Can be used multiple times - using `--reset` will reset the sample strategy and hyperopt files to their default state.
```
usage: freqtrade create-userdir [-h] [--userdir PATH] [--reset]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH
Path to userdata directory.
--reset Reset sample files to their original state.
```
!!! Warning
Using `--reset` may result in loss of data, since this will overwrite all sample files without asking again.

## List pairs/list markets
The `list-pairs` and `list-markets` subcommands allow to see the pairs/markets available on exchange.
2019-10-20 20:00:17 +00:00
Pairs are markets with the '/' character between the base currency part and the quote currency part in the market symbol.
For example, in the 'ETH/BTC' pair 'ETH' is the base currency, while 'BTC' is the quote currency.
2019-10-21 11:06:46 +00:00
For pairs traded by Freqtrade the pair quote currency is defined by the value of the `stake_currency` configuration setting.
You can print info about any pair/market with these subcommands - and you can filter output by quote-currency using `--quote BTC` , or by base-currency using `--base ETH` options correspondingly.
2019-10-17 14:18:26 +00:00
These subcommands have same usage and same set of available options:
