Prices for regular orders can be controlled via the parameter structures `bid_strategy` for Buying, and `ask_strategy` for selling.
Prices are always retrieved right before an order is placed, either by querying the `fetch_ticker()` endpoint of the exchange (usually `/ticker`), or by using the orderbook.

When buying with the orderbook enabled (`bid_strategy.use_order_book=True`) - Freqtrade will fetch the `bid_strategy.order_book_top` entries in the orderbook, and will then use the entry specified as `bid_strategy.order_book_top` on the `bids` side of the orderbook. 1 specifies the topmost entry in the Orderbook - while 2 would use the 2nd entry in the Orderbook.

Freqtrade will then validate each of the orderbook steps between `ask_strategy.order_book_min` and `ask_strategy.order_book_max` on the `ask` side for a profitable sell-possibility and will place a sell order at the first profitable spot.
