### Understand stake_amount
The `stake_amount` configuration parameter is an amount of crypto-currency your bot will use for each trade.
The minimal value is 0.0005. If there is not enough crypto-currency in
the account an exception is generated.
The minimal configuration value is 0.0001. Please check your exchange's trading minimums to avoid problems.
This setting works in combination with `max_open_trades`. The maximum capital engaged in trades is `stake_amount * max_open_trades`.
For example, the bot will at most use (0.05 BTC x 3) = 0.15 BTC, assuming a configuration of `max_open_trades=3` and `stake_amount=0.05`.
To allow the bot to trade all the available `stake_currency` in your account set
```json
"stake_amount" : "unlimited",

the sample hyperopt file located in [user_data/hyperopts/](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/templates/sample_hyperopt.py).
Configuring hyperopt is similar to writing your own strategy, and many tasks will be similar and a lot of code can be copied across from the strategy.
The simplest way to get started is to use `freqtrade new-hyperopt --hyperopt AwesomeHyperopt`.
This will create a new hyperopt file from a template, which will be located under `user_data/hyperopts/AwesomeHyperopt.py`.

## Develop your own strategy
The bot includes a default strategy file. However, we recommend you to
use your own file to not have to lose your parameters every time the default
strategy file will be updated on Github. Put your custom strategy file
into the directory `user_data/strategies`.

You will however most likely have your own idea for a strategy.
This document intends to help you develop one for yourself.
To get started, use `freqtrade new-strategy --strategy AwesomeStrategy`.
This will create a new strategy file from a template, which will be located under `user_data/strategies/AwesomeStrategy.py`.

Besides the Live-Trade and Dry-Run run modes, the `backtesting`, `edge` and `hyperopt` optimization subcommands, and the `download-data` subcommand which prepares historical data, the bot contains a number of utility subcommands. They are described in this section.
## Create userdir
Creates the directory structure to hold your files for freqtrade.
Will also create strategy and hyperopt examples for you to get started.
Can be used multiple times - using `--reset` will reset the sample strategy and hyperopt files to their default state.
```
usage: freqtrade create-userdir [-h] [--userdir PATH] [--reset]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH
Path to userdata directory.
--reset Reset sample files to their original state.
```
!!! Warning
Using `--reset` may result in loss of data, since this will overwrite all sample files without asking again.

## Create new strategy
Creates a new strategy from a template similar to SampleStrategy.
The file will be named inline with your class name, and will not overwrite existing files.
Results will be located in `user_data/strategies/<strategyclassname>.py`.
### Sample usage of new-strategy
```bash
freqtrade new-strategy --strategy AwesomeStrategy
```
With custom user directory
```bash
freqtrade new-strategy --userdir ~/.freqtrade/ --strategy AwesomeStrategy

--userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH
Path to userdata directory.
-s NAME, --strategy NAME
Specify strategy class name which will be used by the
bot.
--template {full,minimal}
Use a template which is either `minimal` or `full`
(containing multiple sample indicators). Default:
`full`.
```
## Create new hyperopt
Creates a new hyperopt from a template similar to SampleHyperopt.
The file will be named inline with your class name, and will not overwrite existing files.
Results will be located in `user_data/hyperopts/<classname>.py`.
### Sample usage of new-hyperopt
```bash
freqtrade new-hyperopt --hyperopt AwesomeHyperopt
