 There are two places you need to change in your hyperopt file to add a new buy hyperopt for testing:
 
 * Inside `indicator_space()` - the parameters hyperopt shall be optimizing.
-* Inside `populate_buy_trend()` - applying the parameters.
+* Within `buy_strategy_generator()` - populate the nested `populate_buy_trend()` to apply the parameters.
 
 There you have two different types of indicators: 1. `guards` and 2. `triggers`.

 Place the corresponding settings into the following methods

+* Within `sell_strategy_generator()` - populate the nested method `populate_sell_trend()` to apply the parameters.
 
 The configuration and rules are the same than for buy signals.
 To avoid naming collisions in the search-space, please prefix all sell-spaces with `sell-`.
