     While this may slow down the hyperopt startup speed, the overall performance will increase as the Hyperopt execution itself may pick the same value for multiple epochs (changing other values).
     You should however try to use space ranges as small as possible. Every new column will require more memory, and every possibility hyperopt can try will increase the search space.
 
+## Optimizing protections
+
+Freqtrade can also optimize protections. How you optimize protections is up to you, and the following should be considered as example only.
+
+The strategy will simply need to define the "protections" entry as property returning a list of protection configurations.
+
+``` python
+from pandas import DataFrame

+    stop_duration = IntParameter(12, 200, default=5, space="protection", optimize=True)

+
+
+    @property
+    def protections(self):
+        prot = []
+
+        prot.append({
+            "method": "CooldownPeriod",
+            "stop_duration_candles": self.cooldown_lookback.value
+        })
+        if self.use_stop_protection.value:
+            prot.append({
+                "method": "StoplossGuard",
+                "lookback_period_candles": 24 * 3,

+
+        return protection
+
+    def populate_indicators(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+        # ...
+        
+```
+
+You can then run hyperopt as follows:
+`freqtrade hyperopt --hyperopt-loss SharpeHyperOptLossDaily --strategy MyAwesomeStrategy --spaces protection`
+
+!!! Note
+    The protection space is not part of the default space, and is only available with the Parameters Hyperopt interface, not with the legacy hyperopt interface (which required separate hyperopt files).
+    Freqtrade will also automatically change the "--enable-protections" flag if the protection space is selected.
+
+!!! Warning
+    If protections are defined as property, entries from the configuration will be ignored.
+    It is therefore recommended to not define protections in the configuration.
+
+### Migrating from previous property setups
+
+A migration from a previous setup is pretty simple, and can be accomplished by converting the protections entry to a property.
+In simple terms, the following configuration will be converted to the below.
+
+``` python
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    protections = [
+        {
+            "method": "CooldownPeriod",
+            "stop_duration_candles": 4
+        }
+    ]
+```
+
+Result
+
+``` python
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    
+    @property
+    def protections(self):
+        return [
+            {
+                "method": "CooldownPeriod",
+                "stop_duration_candles": 4
+            }
+        ]
+```
+
+You will then obviously also change potential interesting entries to parameters to allow hyper-optimization.
+
 ## Loss-functions
 
 Each hyperparameter tuning requires a target. This is usually defined as a loss function (sometimes also called objective function), which should decrease for more desirable results, and increase for bad results.
