## Prepare Hyperopting
We recommend you start by taking a look at `hyperopt.py` file located in [freqtrade/optimize](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/optimize/hyperopt.py)
## Prepare Hyperopt
Before we start digging in Hyperopt, we recommend you to take a look at
an example hyperopt file located into [user_data/strategies/](https://github.com/gcarq/freqtrade/blob/develop/user_data/hyperopts/test_hyperopt.py)
### 1. Configure your Guards and Triggers
### 1. Install a Custom Hyperopt File
This is very simple. Put your hyperopt file into the folder
`user_data/hyperopts`.
There are two places you need to change in your strategy file to add a
new buy strategy for testing:
Let assume you want a hyperopt file `awesome_hyperopt.py`:
1. Copy the file `user_data/hyperopts/test_hyperopt.py` into `user_data/hyperopts/awesome_hyperopt.py`
- Inside [populate_buy_trend()](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/user_data/hyperopts/test_hyperopt.py#L230-L251).
- Inside [indicator_space()](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/user_data/hyperopts/test_hyperopt.py#L207-L223).

There you have two different type of indicators: 1. `guards` and 2.
`triggers`.

Use `<strategyname>` and `<hyperoptname>` as the names of the custom strategy and custom hyperopt used.
Use `<strategyname>` and `<hyperoptname>` as the names of the custom strategy
(only required for generating sells) and the custom hyperopt used.
The `-e` flag will set how many evaluations hyperopt will do. We recommend
running at least several thousand evaluations.
