FreqTrade provides a mechanism whereby an instance may listen to messages from an upstream FreqTrade instance using the message websocket. Mainly, `analyzed_df` and `whitelist` messages. This allows the reuse of computed indicators (and signals) for pairs in multiple bots without needing to compute them multiple times.

# External Signals

freqtrade provides a mechanism whereby an instance may listen to messages from an upstream freqtrade instance using the message websocket. Mainly, `analyzed_df` and `whitelist` messages. This allows the reuse of computed indicators (and signals) for pairs in multiple bots without needing to compute them multiple times.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Message Websocket](rest-api.md#message-websocket) in the Rest API docs for setting up the `api_server` configuration for your message websocket.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! Note
|
||||
We strongly recommend to also set `ws_token` to something random and known only to yourself to avoid unauthorized access to your bot.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Enable subscribing to an instance by adding the `external_message_consumer` section to the follower's config file.
|
||||
|
||||
```jsonc
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{

Instead of (or as well as) calculating indicators in `populate_indicators()` the follower instance listens on the connection to a leader instance's message websocket (or multiple leader instances in advanced configurations) and requests the leader's most recently analyzed dataframes for each pair in the active whitelist.

A follower instance will then have a full copy of the analyzed dataframes without the need to calculate them itself.

### Message WebSocket
|
||||
|
||||
The API Server makes available a websocket endpoint for subscribing to RPC messages
|
||||
from the FreqTrade Bot. This can be used to consume real-time data from your bot, such as entry/exit fill messages, whitelist changes, populated indicators for pairs, and more.

The API Server includes a websocket endpoint for subscribing to RPC messages
|

from the freqtrade Bot. This can be used to consume real-time data from your bot, such as entry/exit fill messages, whitelist changes, populated indicators for pairs, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
Assuming your rest API is set to `127.0.0.1` on port `8080`, the endpoint is available at `http://localhost:8080/api/v1/message/ws`.
|
||||
|
||||
To access the websocket endpoint, the `ws_token` is required as a query parameter in the endpoint URL.

||||

||||
To generate a safe `ws_token` you can run the following code:

#### Using the WebSocket
|

|
||||
Once connected to the WebSocket, the bot will broadcast RPC messages to anyone who is subscribed to them. To subscribe to a list of messages, you must send a JSON request through the WebSocket like the one below. The `data` key must be a list of message type strings.
