!!! Note
If the data is pair-specific, make sure to use pair as one of the keys in the dictionary.
### Additional data (DataProvider)
***
The strategy provides access to the `DataProvider`. This allows you to get additional data to use in your strategy.
All methods return `None` in case of failure (do not raise an exception).
Please always check the mode of operation to select the correct method to get data (samples see below).
#### Possible options for DataProvider
- `available_pairs` - Property with tuples listing cached pairs with their intervals (pair, interval).
- `ohlcv(pair, timeframe)` - Currently cached candle (OHLCV) data for the pair, returns DataFrame or empty DataFrame.
- `historic_ohlcv(pair, timeframe)` - Returns historical data stored on disk.
- `get_pair_dataframe(pair, timeframe)` - This is a universal method, which returns either historical data (for backtesting) or cached live data (for the Dry-Run and Live-Run modes).
- `orderbook(pair, maximum)` - Returns latest orderbook data for the pair, a dict with bids/asks with a total of `maximum` entries.
- `market(pair)` - Returns market data for the pair: fees, limits, precisions, activity flag, etc. See [ccxt documentation](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/wiki/Manual#markets) for more details on Market data structure.
- `runmode` - Property containing the current runmode.
#### Example: fetch live / historical candle (OHLCV) data for the first informative pair
``` python
if self.dp:
inf_pair, inf_timeframe = self.informative_pairs()[0]
informative = self.dp.get_pair_dataframe(pair=inf_pair,
timeframe=inf_timeframe)
```
!!! Warning "Warning about backtesting"
Be carefull when using dataprovider in backtesting. `historic_ohlcv()` (and `get_pair_dataframe()`
for the backtesting runmode) provides the full time-range in one go,
so please be aware of it and make sure to not "look into the future" to avoid surprises when running in dry/live mode).
!!! Warning "Warning in hyperopt"
This option cannot currently be used during hyperopt.
#### Orderbook
``` python
if self.dp:
if self.dp.runmode.value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
ob = self.dp.orderbook(metadata['pair'], 1)
dataframe['best_bid'] = ob['bids'][0][0]
dataframe['best_ask'] = ob['asks'][0][0]
```
!!! Warning
The order book is not part of the historic data which means backtesting and hyperopt will not work if this
method is used.
#### Available Pairs
``` python
if self.dp:
for pair, timeframe in self.dp.available_pairs:
print(f"available {pair}, {timeframe}")
```

It is however better to use resampling to longer time-intervals when possible
to avoid hammering the exchange with too many requests and risk being blocked.

### Additional data (DataProvider)
The strategy provides access to the `DataProvider`. This allows you to get additional data to use in your strategy.
All methods return `None` in case of failure (do not raise an exception).
Please always check the mode of operation to select the correct method to get data (samples see below).
#### Possible options for DataProvider
- [`available_pairs`](#available_pairs) - Property with tuples listing cached pairs with their intervals (pair, interval).
- [`current_whitelist()`](#current_whitelist) - Returns a current list of whitelisted pairs. Useful for accessing dynamic whitelists (ie. VolumePairlist)
- [`get_pair_dataframe(pair, timeframe)`](#get_pair_dataframepair-timeframe) - This is a universal method, which returns either historical data (for backtesting) or cached live data (for the Dry-Run and Live-Run modes).
- `historic_ohlcv(pair, timeframe)` - Returns historical data stored on disk.
- `market(pair)` - Returns market data for the pair: fees, limits, precisions, activity flag, etc. See [ccxt documentation](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/wiki/Manual#markets) for more details on Market data structure.
- `ohlcv(pair, timeframe)` - Currently cached candle (OHLCV) data for the pair, returns DataFrame or empty DataFrame.
- [`orderbook(pair, maximum)`](#orderbookpair-maximum) - Returns latest orderbook data for the pair, a dict with bids/asks with a total of `maximum` entries.
- `runmode` - Property containing the current runmode.
#### Example Usages:
#### *available_pairs*
``` python
if self.dp:
for pair, timeframe in self.dp.available_pairs:
print(f"available {pair}, {timeframe}")
```
#### *current_whitelist()*
Imagine you've developed a strategy that trades the `1m` timeframe using signals generated from a `1d` timeframe on the top 10 volume pairs by volume.
The strategy might look something like this:
*Scan through the top 10 pairs by volume using the `VolumePairList` every minute and use a 14 day ATR to buy and sell.*
Due to the limited available data, it's impossible to resample our `1m` candles into daily candles for use in the 14 day ATR. Most exchanges limit us to just 500 candles which effectively gives us around 1/3 of a daily candle. We need 14 days at least!
Since we can't resample our data we will have to use an informative pair; and since our whitelist will be dynamic we don't know which pair(s) to use.
This is where calling `self.dp.current_whitelist()` comes in handy.
```python
class SampleStrategy(IStrategy):
# strategy init stuff...
ticker_interval = '1m'
# more strategy init stuff..
def informative_pairs(self):
# get access to all pairs available in whitelist.
pairs = self.dp.current_whitelist()
# Assign tf to each pair so they can be downloaded and cached for strategy.
informative_pairs = [(pair, '1d') for pair in pairs]
return informative_pairs
def populate_indicators(self, dataframe, metadata):
# Get the informative pair
informative = self.dp.get_pair_dataframe(pair=metadata['pair'], timeframe='1d')
# Get the 14 day ATR.
atr = ta.ATR(informative, timeperiod=14)
# Assign the Daily atr to the 1 minute dataframe.
dataframe['daily_atr'] = atr
```
#### *get_pair_dataframe(pair, timeframe)*
``` python
# fetch live / historical candle (OHLCV) data for the first informative pair
if self.dp:
inf_pair, inf_timeframe = self.informative_pairs()[0]
informative = self.dp.get_pair_dataframe(pair=inf_pair,
timeframe=inf_timeframe)
