This page explains how to use Edge Positioning module in your bot in order to enter into a trade only if the trade has a reasonable win rate and risk reward ratio, and consequently adjust your position size and stoploss.
**NOTICE:** Edge positioning is not compatible with dynamic whitelist. it overrides dynamic whitelist.
**NOTICE2:** Edge won't consider anything else than buy/sell/stoploss signals. So trailing stoploss, ROI, and everything else will be ignored in its calculation.

### Update cached pairs with the latest data
```bash
python3 ./freqtrade/main.py edge --refresh-pairs-cached
```
### Precising stoploss range
```bash
python3 ./freqtrade/main.py edge --stoplosses=-0.01,-0.1,-0.001 #min,max,step
```
### Advanced use of timerange
```bash
python3 ./freqtrade/main.py edge --timerange=20181110-20181113
```
Doing --timerange=-200 will get the last 200 timeframes from your inputdata. You can also specify specific dates, or a range span indexed by start and stop.
The full timerange specification:
* Use last 123 tickframes of data: --timerange=-123
* Use first 123 tickframes of data: --timerange=123-
* Use tickframes from line 123 through 456: --timerange=123-456
* Use tickframes till 2018/01/31: --timerange=-20180131
* Use tickframes since 2018/01/31: --timerange=20180131-
* Use tickframes since 2018/01/31 till 2018/03/01 : --timerange=20180131-20180301
* Use tickframes between POSIX timestamps 1527595200 1527618600: --timerange=1527595200-1527618600
