### Multiple instances using docker
To run multiple instances of freqtrade using docker you will need to edit the docker-compose.yml file and add all the instances you want as separate services. Remember, you can separate your configuration into multiple files, so it's a good idea to think about making them modular, then if you need to edit something common to all bots, you can do that in a single config file.

This is ongoing work. For now, it is supported only for binance and kucoin.
Please don't change the default value unless you know what you are doing and have researched the impact of using different values for your particular exchange.
### Exchange configuration
Freqtrade is based on [CCXT library](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt) that supports over 100 cryptocurrency
exchange markets and trading APIs. The complete up-to-date list can be found in the
[CCXT repo homepage](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/tree/master/python).
However, the bot was tested by the development team with only Bittrex, Binance and Kraken,
so these are the only officially supported exchanges:
- [Bittrex](https://bittrex.com/): "bittrex"
- [Binance](https://www.binance.com/): "binance"
- [Kraken](https://kraken.com/): "kraken"
Feel free to test other exchanges and submit your PR to improve the bot.
Some exchanges require special configuration, which can be found on the [Exchange-specific Notes](exchanges.md) documentation page.
#### Sample exchange configuration
A exchange configuration for "binance" would look as follows:
```json
"exchange": {
"name": "binance",
"key": "your_exchange_key",
"secret": "your_exchange_secret",
"ccxt_config": {"enableRateLimit": true},
"ccxt_async_config": {
"enableRateLimit": true,
"rateLimit": 200
},
```
This configuration enables binance, as well as rate-limiting to avoid bans from the exchange.
`"rateLimit": 200` defines a wait-event of 0.2s between each call. This can also be completely disabled by setting `"enableRateLimit"` to false.
!!! Note
Optimal settings for rate-limiting depend on the exchange and the size of the whitelist, so an ideal parameter will vary on many other settings.
We try to provide sensible defaults per exchange where possible, if you encounter bans please make sure that `"enableRateLimit"` is enabled and increase the `"rateLimit"` parameter step by step.

### Pairs file
In alternative to the whitelist from `config.json`, a `pairs.json` file can be used.
If you are using Binance for example:
- create a directory `user_data/data/binance` and copy or create the `pairs.json` file in that directory.
- update the `pairs.json` file to contain the currency pairs you are interested in.
```bash
mkdir -p user_data/data/binance
touch user_data/data/binance/pairs.json
```
The format of the `pairs.json` file is a simple json list.
Mixing different stake-currencies is allowed for this file, since it's only used for downloading.
``` json
[
"ETH/BTC",
"ETH/USDT",
"BTC/USDT",
"XRP/ETH"
]
```
!!! Tip "Downloading all data for one quote currency"
Often, you'll want to download data for all pairs of a specific quote-currency. In such cases, you can use the following shorthand:
`freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs .*/USDT <...>`. The provided "pairs" string will be expanded to contain all active pairs on the exchange.
To also download data for inactive (delisted) pairs, add `--include-inactive-pairs` to the command.
??? Note "Permission denied errors"
If your configuration directory `user_data` was made by docker, you may get the following error:
```
cp: cannot create regular file 'user_data/data/binance/pairs.json': Permission denied
```
You can fix the permissions of your user-data directory as follows:
```
sudo chown -R $UID:$GID user_data
```
### Start download
Then run:
```bash
freqtrade download-data --exchange binance
```
This will download historical candle (OHLCV) data for all the currency pairs you defined in `pairs.json`.
Alternatively, specify the pairs directly
```bash
freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs ETH/USDT XRP/USDT BTC/USDT
```
or as regex (to download all active USDT pairs)
```bash
freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs .*/USDT
```
### Other Notes
- To use a different directory than the exchange specific default, use `--datadir user_data/data/some_directory`.
- To change the exchange used to download the historical data from, please use a different configuration file (you'll probably need to adjust rate limits etc.)
- To use `pairs.json` from some other directory, use `--pairs-file some_other_dir/pairs.json`.
- To download historical candle (OHLCV) data for only 10 days, use `--days 10` (defaults to 30 days).
- To download historical candle (OHLCV) data from a fixed starting point, use `--timerange 20200101-` - which will download all data from January 1st, 2020. Eventually set end dates are ignored.
- Use `--timeframes` to specify what timeframe download the historical candle (OHLCV) data for. Default is `--timeframes 1m 5m` which will download 1-minute and 5-minute data.
- To use exchange, timeframe and list of pairs as defined in your configuration file, use the `-c/--config` option. With this, the script uses the whitelist defined in the config as the list of currency pairs to download data for and does not require the pairs.json file. You can combine `-c/--config` with most other options.

This page combines common gotchas and informations which are exchange-specific and most likely don't apply to other exchanges.
## Exchange configuration
Freqtrade is based on [CCXT library](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt) that supports over 100 cryptocurrency
exchange markets and trading APIs. The complete up-to-date list can be found in the
[CCXT repo homepage](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/tree/master/python).
However, the bot was tested by the development team with only a few exchanges.
A current list of these can be found in the "Home" section of this documentation.
Feel free to test other exchanges and submit your feedback or PR to improve the bot or confirm exchanges that work flawlessly..
Some exchanges require special configuration, which can be found below.
### Sample exchange configuration
A exchange configuration for "binance" would look as follows:
```json
"exchange": {
"name": "binance",
"key": "your_exchange_key",
"secret": "your_exchange_secret",
"ccxt_config": {},
"ccxt_async_config": {},
// ...
```
### Setting rate limits
Usually, rate limits set by CCXT are reliable and work well.
In case of problems related to rate-limits (usually DDOS Exceptions in your logs), it's easy to change rateLimit settings to other values.
```json
"exchange": {
"name": "kraken",
"key": "your_exchange_key",
"secret": "your_exchange_secret",
"ccxt_config": {"enableRateLimit": true},
"ccxt_async_config": {

"rateLimit": 3100
},
```
This configuration enables kraken, as well as rate-limiting to avoid bans from the exchange.
`"rateLimit": 3100` defines a wait-event of 0.2s between each call. This can also be completely disabled by setting `"enableRateLimit"` to false.
!!! Note
Optimal settings for rate-limiting depend on the exchange and the size of the whitelist, so an ideal parameter will vary on many other settings.

That's great. We have a nice backtesting and hyperoptimization setup. See the tutorial [here|Testing-new-strategies-with-Hyperopt](bot-usage.md#hyperopt-commands).
Freqtrade will not provide incomplete candles to strategies. Using incomplete candles will lead to repainting and consequently to strategies with "ghost" buys, which are impossible to both backtest, and verify after they happened.
You can use "current" market data by using the [dataprovider](strategy-customization.md#orderbookpair-maximum)'s orderbook or ticker methods - which however cannot be used during backtesting.

Out of the box, freqtrade installs the following technical libraries:

* [pandas-ta](https://twopirllc.github.io/pandas-ta/)
* [technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/technical/)
Additional technical libraries can be installed as necessary, or custom indicators may be written / invented by the strategy author.
### Strategy startup period
Most indicators have an instable startup period, in which they are either not available, or the calculation is incorrect. This can lead to inconsistencies, since Freqtrade does not know how long this instable period should be.
