+## Sharing methods with your strategy

+Hyperopt classes provide access to the Strategy via the `strategy` class attribute.
+This can be a great way to reduce code duplication if used correctly, but will also complicate usage for inexperienced users.

 ## Creating and using a custom loss function
 
 To use a custom loss function class, make sure that the function `hyperopt_loss_function` is defined in your custom hyperopt loss class.
