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)

There are two places you need to change to add a new buy strategy for testing:
- Inside [populate_buy_trend()](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/optimize/hyperopt.py#L231-L264).
- Inside [hyperopt_space()](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/optimize/hyperopt.py#L213-L224)
and the associated methods `indicator_space`, `roi_space`, `stoploss_space`.

There you have two different type of indicators: 1. `guards` and 2. `triggers`.
1. Guards are conditions like "never buy if ADX < 10", or "never buy if

```bash
python3 ./freqtrade/main.py -c config.json hyperopt -e 5000
python3 ./freqtrade/main.py -s <strategyname> --hyperopt <hyperoptname> -c config.json hyperopt -e 5000
```
Use `<strategyname>` and `<hyperoptname>` as the names of the custom strategy and custom hyperopt used.
The `-e` flag will set how many evaluations hyperopt will do. We recommend
running at least several thousand evaluations.
