Please familiarize yourself with [Freqtrade basics](bot-basics.md) first, which provides overall info on how the bot operates.
## Install a custom strategy file
This is very simple. Copy paste your strategy file into the directory `user_data/strategies`.
Let assume you have a class called `AwesomeStrategy` in the file `AwesomeStrategy.py`:
1. Move your file into `user_data/strategies` (you should have `user_data/strategies/AwesomeStrategy.py`
2. Start the bot with the param `--strategy AwesomeStrategy` (the parameter is the class name)
```bash
freqtrade trade --strategy AwesomeStrategy
```
## Develop your own strategy
The bot includes a default strategy file.
Also, several other strategies are available in the [strategy repository](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade-strategies).
You will however most likely have your own idea for a strategy.
This document intends to help you develop one for yourself.
This document intends to help you convert your strategy idea into your own strategy.
To get started, use `freqtrade new-strategy --strategy AwesomeStrategy`.
This will create a new strategy file from a template, which will be located under `user_data/strategies/AwesomeStrategy.py`.

The Metadata-dict should not be modified and does not persist information across multiple calls.

## Strategy file loading
By default, freqtrade will attempt to load strategies from all `.py` files within `user_data/strategies`.
Assuming your strategy is called `AwesomeStrategy`, stored in the file `user_data/strategies/AwesomeStrategy.py`, then you can start freqtrade with `freqtrade trade --strategy AwesomeStrategy`.
Note that we're using the class-name, not the file name.
You can use `freqtrade list-strategies` to see a list of all strategies Freqtrade is able to load (all strategies in the correct folder).
It will also include a "status" field, highlighting potential problems.
??? Hint "Customize strategy directory"
You can use a different directory by using `--strategy-path user_data/otherPath`. This parameter is available to all commands that require a strategy.
