## Pro tips
* See [jupyter.org](https://jupyter.org/documentation) for usage instructions.
* Don't forget to start a jupyter notbook server from within your conda or venv environment or use [nb_conda_kernels](https://github.com/Anaconda-Platform/nb_conda_kernels)*
* Copy the example notebook so your changes don't get clobbered with the next freqtrade update.

## Fine print
Some tasks don't work especially well in notebooks. For example, anything using asyncronous exectution is a problem for Jupyter. Also, freqtrade's primary entry point is the shell cli, so using pure python in a notebook bypasses arguments that provide required parameters to functions.
Some tasks don't work especially well in notebooks. For example, anything using asynchronous execution is a problem for Jupyter. Also, freqtrade's primary entry point is the shell cli, so using pure python in a notebook bypasses arguments that provide required objects and parameters to helper functions. You may need to set those values or create expected objects manually.

### Watch project for changes to code
This scans the project for changes to code before Jupyter runs cells.

## Load existing objects into a Jupyter notebook
These examples assume that you have already generated data using the cli. These examples will allow you to drill deeper into your results, and perform analysis which otherwise would make the output very difficult to digest due to information overload.
