+### Using virtual environment with system-wide Jupyter installation
+
+Sometimes it can be desired to use a system-wide installation of Jupyter notebook, and use a jupyter kernel from the virtual environment.
+This prevents you from installing the full jupyter suite multiple times per system, and provides an easy way to switch between tasks (freqtrade / other analytics tasks).
+
+For this to work, first activate your virtual environment and run the following commands:
+
+``` bash
+# Activate virtual environment
+source .env/bin/activate
+
+pip install ipykernel
+ipython kernel install --user --name=freqtrade
+# Restart jupyter (lab / notebook)
+# select kernel "freqtrade" in the notebook
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    This section is provided for completeness, the Freqtrade Team won't provide full support for problems with this setup and will recommend to install Jupyter in the virtual environment directly, as that is the easiest way to get jupyter notebooks up and running. For help with this setup please refer to the [Project Jupyter](https://jupyter.org/) [documentation](https://jupyter.org/documentation) or [help channels](https://jupyter.org/community).

 ## Fine print  
 
 Some tasks don't work especially well in notebooks. For example, anything using asynchronous execution is a problem for Jupyter. Also, freqtrade's primary entry point is the shell cli, so using pure python in a notebook bypasses arguments that provide required objects and parameters to helper functions. You may need to set those values or create expected objects manually.
