+## ErrorHandling
+
+Freqtrade Exceptions all inherit from `FreqtradeException`.
+This general class of error should however not be used directly, instead, multiple specialized sub-Exceptions exist.
+
+Below is an outline of exception inheritance hierarchy:
+
+```
+ FreqtradeException
+|
+---+ OperationalException
+|
+---+ DependencyException
+|   |
+|   +---+ PricingError
+|   |
+|   +---+ ExchangeError
+|       |
+|       +---+ TemporaryError
+|       |
+|       +---+ DDosProtection
+|       |
+|       +---+ InvalidOrderException
+|           |
+|           +---+ RetryableOrderError
+|
+---+ StrategyError
+```
