To analyze the buy tags, we need to use the `buy_reasons.py` script from
[froggleston's repo](https://github.com/froggleston/freqtrade-buyreasons). Follow the instructions
in their README to copy the script into your `freqtrade/scripts/` folder.
This will tell freqtrade to output a pickled dictionary of strategy, pairs and corresponding
DataFrame of the candles that resulted in buy signals. Depending on how many buys your strategy
makes, this file may get quite large, so periodically check your `user_data/backtest_results`
folder to delete old exports.

backtesting with the `--cache none` option to make sure no cached results are used.

To show only certain buy and sell tags in the displayed output, use the following two options:

--buy_reason_list : Comma separated list of buy signals to analyse. Default: "all"
--sell_reason_list : Comma separated list of sell signals to analyse. Default: "stop_loss,trailing_stop_loss"
--enter_reason_list : Comma separated list of enter signals to analyse. Default: "all"
--exit_reason_list : Comma separated list of exit signals to analyse. Default: "stop_loss,trailing_stop_loss"
