Since the version `0.16.0` the bot allows using custom strategy file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Install a custom strategy file
|
||||
|
||||
This is very simple. Copy paste your strategy file into the folder
|
||||
`user_data/strategies`.
|
||||
|
||||
Let assume you have a class called `AwesomeStrategy` in the file `awesome-strategy.py`:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Move your file into `user_data/strategies` (you should have `user_data/strategies/awesome-strategy.py`
|
||||
2. Start the bot with the param `--strategy AwesomeStrategy` (the parameter is the class name)

## Change your 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 folder `user_data/strategies`.
|
||||
|
||||
A strategy file contains all the information needed to build a good strategy:
|
||||
|
||||
- Buy strategy rules
|
||||
- Sell strategy rules
|
||||
- Minimal ROI recommended

### Buy strategy
|
||||
|
||||
Edit the method `populate_buy_trend()` into your strategy file to
|
||||
update your buy strategy.
|
||||
|
||||
Sample from `user_data/strategies/test_strategy.py`:
|

def populate_buy_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame) -> DataFrame:

## Add more Indicator
|
||||
|
||||
As you have seen, buy and sell strategies need indicators. You can add
|
||||
more indicators by extending the list contained in
|
||||
the method `populate_indicators()` from your strategy file.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
### Want more indicator examples
|
||||
|
||||
Look into the [user_data/strategies/test_strategy.py](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/user_data/strategies/test_strategy.py).
|
||||
Then uncomment indicators you need.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Where is the default strategy?
|
||||
|
||||
The default buy strategy is located in the file
|
||||
[freqtrade/default_strategy.py](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/strategy/default_strategy.py).
|
||||
|
||||
### Further strategy ideas
|
||||
|
||||
To get additional Ideas for strategies, head over to our [strategy repository](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade-strategies). Feel free to use them as they are - but results will depend on the current market situation, pairs used etc. - therefore please backtest the strategy for your exchange/desired pairs first, evaluate carefully, use at your own risk.
|
||||
Feel free to use any of them as inspiration for your own strategies.
|
||||
We're happy to accept Pull Requests containing new Strategies to that repo.
|
||||
|
||||
## Next step
|
||||
|
||||
Now you have a perfect strategy you probably want to backtesting it.
|
||||
Your next step is to learn [How to use the Backtesting](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docs/backtesting.md).
