# Freqtrade basics
This page provides you some basic concepts on how Freqtrade works and operates.
## Freqtrade terminology
* Trade: Open position.
* Open Order: Order which is currently placed on the exchange, and is not yet complete.
* Pair: Tradable pair, usually in the format of Quote/Base (e.g. XRP/USDT).
* Timeframe: Candle length to use (e.g. `"5m"`, `"1h"`, ...).
* Indicators: Technical indicators (SMA, EMA, RSI, ...).
* Limit order: Limit orders which execute at the defined limit price or better.
* Market order: Guaranteed to fill, may move price depending on the order size.
## Fee handling
All profit calculations of Freqtrade include fees. For Backtesting / Hyperopt / Dry-run modes, the exchange default fee is used (lowest tier on the exchange). For live operations, fees are used as applied by the exchange (this includes BNB rebates etc.).
## Bot execution logic
Starting freqtrade in dry-run or live mode (using `freqtrade trade`) will start the bot and start the bot iteration loop.
By default, loop runs every few seconds (`internals.process_throttle_secs`) and does roughly the following in the following sequence:
* Fetch open trades from persistence.
* Calculate current list of tradable pairs.
* Download ohlcv data for the pairlist including all [informative pairs](strategy-customization.md#get-data-for-non-tradeable-pairs)
This step is only executed once per Candle to avoid unnecessary network traffic.
* Call `bot_loop_start()` strategy callback.
* Analyze strategy per pair.
* Call `populate_indicators()`
* Call `populate_buy_trend()`
* Call `populate_sell_trend()`
* Check timeouts for open orders.
* Calls `check_buy_timeout()` strategy callback for open buy orders.
* Calls `check_sell_timeout()` strategy callback for open sell orders.
* Verifies existing positions and eventually places sell orders.
* Considers stoploss, ROI and sell-signal.
* Determine sell-price based on `ask_strategy` configuration setting.
* Before a sell order is placed, `confirm_trade_exit()` strategy callback is called.
* Check if trade-slots are still available (if `max_open_trades` is reached).
* Verifies buy signal trying to enter new positions.
* Determine buy-price based on `bid_strategy` configuration setting.
* Before a buy order is placed, `confirm_trade_entry()` strategy callback is called.
This loop will be repeated again and again until the bot is stopped.
## Backtesting / Hyperopt execution logic
[backtesting](backtesting.md) or [hyperopt](hyperopt.md) do only part of the above logic, since most of the trading operations are fully simulated.
* Load historic data for configured pairlist.
* Calculate indicators (calls `populate_indicators()`).
* Calls `populate_buy_trend()` and `populate_sell_trend()`
* Loops per candle simulating entry and exit points.
* Generate backtest report output
!!! Note
Both Backtesting and Hyperopt include exchange default Fees in the calculation. Custom fees can be passed to backtesting / hyperopt by specifying the `--fee` argument.

If you're just getting started, please be familiar with the methods described in the [Strategy Customization](strategy-customization.md) documentation and with the [Freqtrade basics](bot-basics.md) first.

## Bot loop start callback
A simple callback which is called once at the start of every bot throttling iteration.
This can be used to perform calculations which are pair independent (apply to all pairs), loading of external data, etc.
``` python
import requests
class Awesomestrategy(IStrategy):
# ... populate_* methods
def bot_loop_start(self, **kwargs) -> None:
"""
Called at the start of the bot iteration (one loop).
Might be used to perform pair-independent tasks

## Bot order confirmation
### Trade entry (buy order) confirmation
`confirm_trade_entry()` can be used to abort a trade entry at the latest second (maybe because the price is not what we expect).
``` python
class Awesomestrategy(IStrategy):
# ... populate_* methods
def confirm_trade_entry(self, pair: str, order_type: str, amount: float, rate: float,
time_in_force: str, **kwargs) -> bool:

### Trade exit (sell order) confirmation
`confirm_trade_exit()` can be used to abort a trade exit (sell) at the latest second (maybe because the price is not what we expect).
``` python
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
class Awesomestrategy(IStrategy):
# ... populate_* methods
def confirm_trade_exit(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, order_type: str, amount: float,
rate: float, time_in_force: str, sell_reason: str, **kwargs) -> bool:
