 # Analyzing bot data
 
-After performing backtests, or after running the bot for some time, it will be interesting to analyze the results your bot generated.
+You can analyze the results of backtests and trading history easily using Jupyter notebooks. A sample notebook is located at `user_data/notebooks/analysis_example.ipynb`. For usage instructions, see [jupyter.org](https://jupyter.org/documentation).
 
-A good way for this is using Jupyter (notebook or lab) - which provides an interactive environment to analyze the data.
+## Strategy debugging example
 
-The following helpers will help you loading the data into Pandas DataFrames, and may also give you some starting points in analyzing the results.
+Debugging a strategy can be time-consuming. FreqTrade offers helper functions to visualize raw data.
 
-## Strategy development problem analysis
-
-Debugging a strategy (are there no buy signals, ...) can be very time-consuming.
-FreqTrade tries to help you by exposing a few helper-functions, which can be very handy.
-
-It's recommended using Juptyer Notebooks for analysis, since it offers a dynamic way to rerun certain parts of the code.
-
-The following is a full code-snippet, which will be explained by both comments, and step by step below.
+### Import requirements and define variables used in the script
 
 ```python
-# Some necessary imports
+# Imports
 from pathlib import Path
-
+import os
 from freqtrade.data.history import load_pair_history
 from freqtrade.resolvers import StrategyResolver
+from freqtrade.data.btanalysis import load_backtest_data
+from freqtrade.data.btanalysis import load_trades_from_db
+
 # Define some constants
-ticker_interval = "5m"
-
+ticker_interval = "1m"
 # Name of the strategy class
-strategyname = 'Awesomestrategy'
+strategy_name = 'NewStrategy'
+# Path to user data
+user_data_dir = 'user_data'
 # Location of the strategy
-strategy_location = '../xmatt/strategies'
+strategy_location = os.path.join(user_data_dir, 'strategies')
 # Location of the data
-data_location = '../freqtrade/user_data/data/binance/'
+data_location = os.path.join(user_data_dir, 'data', 'binance')
+# Pair to analyze 
 # Only use one pair here
-pair = "XRP_ETH"
+pair = "BTC_USDT"
+```
 
-### End constants
+### Load exchange data
 
-# Load data
+```python
+# Load data using values set above
 bt_data = load_pair_history(datadir=Path(data_location),
-                            ticker_interval = ticker_interval,
+                            ticker_interval=ticker_interval,
                             pair=pair)
-print(len(bt_data))
-
-### Start strategy reload
-# Load strategy - best done in a new cell
-# Rerun each time the strategy-file is changed.
-strategy = StrategyResolver({'strategy': strategyname,
-                            'user_data_dir': Path.cwd(),
-                            'strategy_path': location}).strategy
-
-# Run strategy (just like in backtesting)
-df = strategy.analyze_ticker(bt_data, {'pair': pair})
-print(f"Generated {df['buy'].sum()} buy signals")
-
-# Reindex data to be "nicer" and show data
-data = df.set_index('date', drop=True)
-data.tail()
 
+# Confirm success
+print("Loaded " + str(len(bt_data)) + f" rows of data for {pair} from {data_location}")
 ```
 
-### Explanation
+### Load and run strategy  
 
-#### Imports and constant definition
+* Rerun each time the strategy file is changed
+* Display the trade details. Note that using `data.head()` would also work, however most indicators have some "startup" data at the top of the dataframe.
 
-``` python
-# Some necessary imports
-from pathlib import Path
-
-from freqtrade.data.history import load_pair_history
-from freqtrade.resolvers import StrategyResolver
-# Define some constants
-ticker_interval = "5m"
-
-# Name of the strategy class
-strategyname = 'Awesomestrategy'
-# Location of the strategy
-strategy_location = 'user_data/strategies'
-# Location of the data
-data_location = 'user_data/data/binance'
-# Only use one pair here
-pair = "XRP_ETH"
-```
-
-This first section imports necessary modules, and defines some constants you'll probably need to adjust for your case.
-
-#### Load candles
-
-``` python
-# Load data
-bt_data = load_pair_history(datadir=Path(data_location),
-                            ticker_interval = ticker_interval,
-                            pair=pair)
-print(len(bt_data))
-```
-
-This second section loads the historic data and prints the amount of candles in the DataFrame.
-You can also inspect this dataframe by using `bt_data.head()` or `bt_data.tail()`.
-
-#### Run strategy and analyze results
-
-Now, it's time to load and run your strategy.
-For this, I recommend using a new cell in your notebook, since you'll want to repeat this until you're satisfied with your strategy.
-
-``` python
-# Load strategy - best done in a new cell
-# Needs to be ran each time the strategy-file is changed.
-strategy = StrategyResolver({'strategy': strategyname,
-                            'user_data_dir': Path.cwd(),
-                            'strategy_path': location}).strategy
-
-# Run strategy (just like in backtesting)
-df = strategy.analyze_ticker(bt_data, {'pair': pair})
-print(f"Generated {df['buy'].sum()} buy signals")
-
-# Reindex data to be "nicer" and show data
-data = df.set_index('date', drop=True)
-data.tail()
-```
-
-The code snippet loads and analyzes the strategy, calculates and prints the number of buy signals.
-
-The last 2 lines serve to analyze the dataframe in detail.
-This can be important if your strategy did not generate any buy signals.
-Note that using `data.head()` would also work, however this is misleading since most indicators have some "startup" time at the start of a backtested dataframe.
-
-There can be many things wrong, some signs to look for are:
+Some possible problems:
 
 * Columns with NaN values at the end of the dataframe
 * Columns used in `crossed*()` functions with completely different units
 
-## Backtesting
+```python
+# Load strategy using values set above
+strategy = StrategyResolver({'strategy': strategy_name,
+                            'user_data_dir': user_data_dir,
+                            'strategy_path': strategy_location}).strategy
 
-To analyze your backtest results, you can [export the trades](#exporting-trades-to-file).
-You can then load the trades to perform further analysis.
+# Run strategy (just like in backtesting)
+df = strategy.analyze_ticker(bt_data, {'pair': pair})
 
-Freqtrade provides the `load_backtest_data()` helper function to easily load the backtest results, which takes the path to the the backtest-results file as parameter.
+# Report results
+print(f"Generated {df['buy'].sum()} buy signals")
+data = df.set_index('date', drop=True)
+data.tail()
+```
 
-``` python
-from freqtrade.data.btanalysis import load_backtest_data
-df = load_backtest_data("user_data/backtest-result.json")
+### Load backtest results into a pandas dataframe
+
+```python
+# Load backtest results
+df = load_backtest_data("user_data/backtest_data/backtest-result.json")
 
 # Show value-counts per pair
 df.groupby("pair")["sell_reason"].value_counts()
-
 ```
 
-This will allow you to drill deeper into your backtest results, and perform analysis which otherwise would make the regular backtest-output very difficult to digest due to information overload.
-
-If you have some ideas for interesting / helpful backtest data analysis ideas, please submit a Pull Request so the community can benefit from it.
-
-## Live data
-
-To analyze the trades your bot generated, you can load them to a DataFrame as follows:
+### Load live trading results into a pandas dataframe
 
 ``` python
-from freqtrade.data.btanalysis import load_trades_from_db
-
+# Fetch trades from database
 df = load_trades_from_db("sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite")
 
+# Display results
 df.groupby("pair")["sell_reason"].value_counts()
-
 ```
 
 Feel free to submit an issue or Pull Request enhancing this document if you would like to share ideas on how to best analyze the data.
