 `StoplossGuard` selects all trades within a `lookback_period` (in minutes), and determines if the amount of trades that resulted in stoploss are above `trade_limit` - in which case trading will stop for `stop_duration`.
 This applies across all pairs, unless `only_per_pair` is set to true, which will then only look at one pair at a time.
 
+The below example stops trading for all pairs for 2 hours (120min) after the last trade if the bot hit stoploss 4 times within the last 24h.

+#### MaxDrawdown
+
+`MaxDrawdown` uses all trades within `lookback_period` (in minutes) to determine the maximum drawdown. If the drawdown is below `max_allowed_drawdown`, trading will stop for `stop_duration` (in minutes) after the last trade - assuming that the bot needs some time to let markets recover.

+The below sample stops trading for 12 hours (720min) if max-drawdown is > 20% considering all trades within the last 2 days (2880min).

 #### Low Profit Pairs
 
 `LowProfitPairs` uses all trades for a pair within a `lookback_period` (in minutes) to determine the overall profit ratio.
 If that ratio is below `required_profit`, that pair will be locked for `stop_duration` (in minutes).
 
+The below example will stop trading a pair for 60 minutes if the pair does not have a required profit of 2% (and a minimum of 2 trades) within the last 6 hours (360min).
