# Advanced Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
This page explains some advanced concepts available for strategies.
|
||||
If you're just getting started, please be familiar with the methods described in the [Strategy Customization](strategy-customization.md) documentation first.
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom order timeout rules
|
||||
|
||||
Simple, timebased order-timeouts can be configured either via strategy or in the configuration in the `unfilledtimeout` section.
|
||||
|
||||
However, freqtrade also offers a custom callback for both ordertypes, which allows you to decide based on custom criteria if a order did time out or not.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! Note:
|
||||
Unfilled order timeouts are not relevant during backtesting or hyperopt, and are only relevant during real (live) trading. Therefore these methods are only called in these circumstances.
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom order timeout example
|
||||
|
||||
A simple example, which applies different unfilled-timeouts depending on the price of the asset can be seen below.
|
||||
It applies a tight timeout for higher priced assets, while allowing more time to fill on cheap coins.
|
||||
|
||||
The function must return either `True` (cancel order) or `False` (keep order alive).
|
||||
|
||||
``` python
|
||||
from datetime import datetime, timestamp
|
||||
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
|
||||
|
||||
class Awesomestrategy(IStrategy):
|
||||
|
||||
# ... populate_* methods
|
||||
|
||||
# Set unfilledtimeout to 25 hours, since our maximum timeout from below is 24 hours.
|
||||
unfilledtimeout = {
|
||||
'buy': 60 * 25,
|
||||
'sell': 60 * 25
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
def check_buy_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:
|
||||
if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(minutes=5):
|
||||
return True
|
||||
elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(minutes=3):
|
||||
return True
|
||||
elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(hours=24):
|
||||
return True
|
||||
return True
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
def check_sell_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:
|
||||
if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(minutes=5):
|
||||
return True
|
||||
elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(minutes=3):
|
||||
return True
|
||||
elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(hours=24):
|
||||
return True
|
||||
return True
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
!!! Note:
|
||||
For the above example, `unfilledtimeout` must be set to something bigger than 24h, otherwise that type of timeout will apply first.
