+    This is the default strategy template with added functions for trade stacking / buying the same positions multiple times.
+    It should function like this:
+        Find good buys using indicators. 
+        When a new buy occurs the strategy will enable rebuys of the pair like this:
+            self.custom_info[metadata["pair"]]["rebuy"] = 1
+        Then, if the price should drop after the last buy within the timerange of rebuy_time_limit_hours,
+        the same pair will be purchased again. This is intended to help with reducing possible losses.
+        If the price only goes up after the first buy, the strategy won't buy this pair again, and after the time limit is over,
+        look for other pairs to buy.
+        For selling there is this flag:
+            self.custom_info[metadata["pair"]]["resell"] = 1
+        which should simply sell all trades of this pair until none are left.
+
+    You can set how many pairs you want to trade and how many trades you want to allow for a pair, 
+    but you must make sure to set max_open_trades to the produce of max_open_pairs and max_open_trades in your configuration file.
+    Also allow_position_stacking has to be set to true in the configuration file.
+
+    For backtesting make sure to provide --enable-position-stacking as an argument in the command line.
+    Backtesting will be slow.
