 coding skills and Python knowledge than creation of an ordinal hyperoptimization
 class.
 
+## Derived hyperopt classes
+
+Custom hyperop classes can be derived in the same way [it can be done for strategies](strategy-customization.md#derived-strategies).
+
+Applying to hyperoptimization, as an example, you may override how dimensions are defined in your optimization hyperspace:
+
+```python
+class MyAwesomeHyperOpt(IHyperOpt):
+    ...
+    # Uses default stoploss dimension
+
+class MyAwesomeHyperOpt2(MyAwesomeHyperOpt):
+    @staticmethod
+    def stoploss_space() -> List[Dimension]:
+        # Override boundaries for stoploss
+        return [
+            Real(-0.33, -0.01, name='stoploss'),
+        ]
+```
+
+and then quickly switch between hyperopt classes, running optimization process with hyperopt class you need in each particular case:
+
+```
+$ freqtrade hyperopt --hyperopt MyAwesomeHyperOpt ...
+or
+$ freqtrade hyperopt --hyperopt MyAwesomeHyperOpt2 ...
+```

 ## 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.

 #### Supplying custom fee value
 
 Sometimes your account has certain fee rebates (fee reductions starting with a certain account size or monthly volume), which are not visible to ccxt.
-To account for this in backtesting, you can use `--fee 0.001` to supply this value to backtesting.
-This fee must be a percentage, and will be applied twice (once for trade entry, and once for trade exit).
+To account for this in backtesting, you can use the `--fee` command line option to supply this value to backtesting.
+This fee must be a ratio, and will be applied twice (once for trade entry, and once for trade exit).
+
+For example, if the buying and selling commission fee is 0.1% (i.e., 0.001 written as ratio), then you would run backtesting as the following:
 
 ```bash
 freqtrade backtesting --fee 0.001
 ```

 The 2nd table contains a recap of sell reasons.
+This table can tell you which area needs some additional work (i.e. all `sell_signal` trades are losses, so we should disable the sell-signal or work on improving that).
 
 The 3rd table contains all trades the bot had to `forcesell` at the end of the backtest period to present a full picture.
 This is necessary to simulate realistic behaviour, since the backtest period has to end at some point, while realistically, you could leave the bot running forever.

-### Understand stake_amount
+### Configuring amount per trade
 
-The `stake_amount` configuration parameter is an amount of crypto-currency your bot will use for each trade.
+There are several methods to configure how much of the stake currency the bot will use to enter a trade. All methods respect the [available balance configuration](#available-balance) as explained below.
 
-The minimal configuration value is 0.0001. Please check your exchange's trading minimums to avoid problems.
+#### Available balance
+
+By default, the bot assumes that the `complete amount - 1%` is at it's disposal, and when using [dynamic stake amount](#dynamic-stake-amount), it will split the complete balance into `max_open_trades` buckets per trade.
+Freqtrade will reserve 1% for eventual fees when entering a trade and will therefore not touch that by default.
+
+You can configure the "untouched" amount by using the `tradable_balance_ratio` setting.
+
+For example, if you have 10 ETH available in your wallet on the exchange and `tradable_balance_ratio=0.5` (which is 50%), then the bot will use a maximum amount of 5 ETH for trading and considers this as available balance. The rest of the wallet is untouched by the trades.
+
+!!! Warning
+    The `tradable_balance_ratio` setting applies to the current balance (free balance + tied up in trades). Therefore, assuming the starting balance of 1000, a configuration with `tradable_balance_ratio=0.99` will not guarantee that 10 currency units will always remain available on the exchange. For example, the free amount may reduce to 5 units if the total balance is reduced to 500 (either by a losing streak, or by withdrawing balance).
+
+#### Amend last stake amount
+
+Assuming we have the tradable balance of 1000 USDT, `stake_amount=400`, and `max_open_trades=3`.
+The bot would open 2 trades, and will be unable to fill the last trading slot, since the requested 400 USDT are no longer available, since 800 USDT are already tied in other trades.
+
+To overcome this, the option `amend_last_stake_amount` can be set to `True`, which will enable the bot to reduce stake_amount to the available balance in order to fill the last trade slot.
+
+In the example above this would mean:
+
+- Trade1: 400 USDT
+- Trade2: 400 USDT
+- Trade3: 200 USDT
+
+!!! Note
+    This option only applies with [Static stake amount](#static-stake-amount) - since [Dynamic stake amount](#dynamic-stake-amount) divides the balances evenly.
+
+!!! Note
+    The minimum last stake amount can be configured using `amend_last_stake_amount` - which defaults to 0.5 (50%). This means that the minimum stake amount that's ever used is `stake_amount * 0.5`. This avoids very low stake amounts, that are close to the minimum tradable amount for the pair and can be refused by the exchange.
+
+#### Static stake amount
+
+The `stake_amount` configuration statically configures the amount of stake-currency your bot will use for each trade.
+
+The minimal configuration value is 0.0001, however, please check your exchange's trading minimums for the stake currency you're using to avoid problems.
 
 This setting works in combination with `max_open_trades`. The maximum capital engaged in trades is `stake_amount * max_open_trades`.
 For example, the bot will at most use (0.05 BTC x 3) = 0.15 BTC, assuming a configuration of `max_open_trades=3` and `stake_amount=0.05`.

+!!! Note
+    This setting respects the [available balance configuration](#available-balance).
 
-```json
-"stake_amount" : "unlimited",
-```
+#### Dynamic stake amount
+
+Alternatively, you can use a dynamic stake amount, which will use the available balance on the exchange, and divide that equally by the amount of allowed trades (`max_open_trades`).
+
+To configure this, set `stake_amount="unlimited"`. We also recommend to set `tradable_balance_ratio=0.99` (99%) - to keep a minimum balance for eventual fees.

+    This configuration will allow increasing / decreasing stakes depending on the performance of the bot (lower stake if bot is loosing, higher stakes if the bot has a winning record, since higher balances are available).
+
+!!! Note "When using Dry-Run Mode"
+    When using `"stake_amount" : "unlimited",` in combination with Dry-Run, the balance will be simulated starting with a stake of `dry_run_wallet` which will evolve over time. It is therefore important to set `dry_run_wallet` to a sensible value (like 0.05 or 0.01 for BTC and 1000 or 100 for USDT, for example), otherwise it may simulate trades with 100 BTC (or more) or 0.05 USDT (or less) at once - which may not correspond to your real available balance or is less than the exchange minimal limit for the order amount for the stake currency.

+## Prices used for orders
+
+Prices for regular orders can be controlled via the parameter structures `bid_strategy` for buying and `ask_strategy` for selling.
+Prices are always retrieved right before an order is placed, either by querying the exchange tickers or by using the orderbook data.
+
+!!! Note
+    Orderbook data used by Freqtrade are the data retrieved from exchange by the ccxt's function `fetch_order_book()`, i.e. are usually data from the L2-aggregated orderbook, while the ticker data are the structures returned by the ccxt's `fetch_ticker()`/`fetch_tickers()` functions. Refer to the ccxt library [documentation](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/wiki/Manual#market-data) for more details.
+
+### Buy price
+
+#### Check depth of market
+
+When check depth of market is enabled (`bid_strategy.check_depth_of_market.enabled=True`), the buy signals are filtered based on the orderbook depth (sum of all amounts) for each orderbook side.
+
+Orderbook `bid` (buy) side depth is then divided by the orderbook `ask` (sell) side depth and the resulting delta is compared to the value of the `bid_strategy.check_depth_of_market.bids_to_ask_delta` parameter. The buy order is only executed if the orderbook delta is greater than or equal to the configured delta value.
+
+!!! Note
+    A delta value below 1 means that `ask` (sell) orderbook side depth is greater than the depth of the `bid` (buy) orderbook side, while a value greater than 1 means opposite (depth of the buy side is higher than the depth of the sell side).
+
+#### Buy price side
+
+The configuration setting `bid_strategy.price_side` defines the side of the spread the bot looks for when buying.
+
+The following displays an orderbook.
+
+``` explanation
+...
+103
+102
+101  # ask
+-------------Current spread
+99   # bid
+98
+97
+...
+```
+
+If `bid_strategy.price_side` is set to `"bid"`, then the bot will use 99 as buying price.  
+In line with that, if `bid_strategy.price_side` is set to `"ask"`, then the bot will use 101 as buying price.
+
+Using `ask` price often guarantees quicker filled orders, but the bot can also end up paying more than what would have been necessary.
+Taker fees instead of maker fees will most likely apply even when using limit buy orders.
+Also, prices at the "ask" side of the spread are higher than prices at the "bid" side in the orderbook, so the order behaves similar to a market order (however with a maximum price).
+
+#### Buy price with Orderbook enabled
+
+When buying with the orderbook enabled (`bid_strategy.use_order_book=True`), Freqtrade fetches the `bid_strategy.order_book_top` entries from the orderbook and then uses the entry specified as `bid_strategy.order_book_top` on the configured side (`bid_strategy.price_side`) of the orderbook. 1 specifies the topmost entry in the orderbook, while 2 would use the 2nd entry in the orderbook, and so on.
+
+#### Buy price without Orderbook enabled
+
+The following section uses `side` as the configured `bid_strategy.price_side`.
+
+When not using orderbook (`bid_strategy.use_order_book=False`), Freqtrade uses the best `side` price from the ticker if it's below the `last` traded price from the ticker. Otherwise (when the `side` price is above the `last` price), it calculates a rate between `side` and `last` price.
+
+The `bid_strategy.ask_last_balance` configuration parameter controls this. A value of `0.0` will use `side` price, while `1.0` will use the `last` price and values between those interpolate between ask and last price.
+
+### Sell price
+
+#### Sell price side
+
+The configuration setting `ask_strategy.price_side` defines the side of the spread the bot looks for when selling.
+
+The following displays an orderbook:
+
+``` explanation
+...
+103
+102
+101  # ask
+-------------Current spread
+99   # bid
+98
+97
+...
+```
+
+If `ask_strategy.price_side` is set to `"ask"`, then the bot will use 101 as selling price.  
+In line with that, if `ask_strategy.price_side` is set to `"bid"`, then the bot will use 99 as selling price.
+
+#### Sell price with Orderbook enabled
+
+When selling with the orderbook enabled (`ask_strategy.use_order_book=True`), Freqtrade fetches the `ask_strategy.order_book_max` entries in the orderbook. Then each of the orderbook steps between `ask_strategy.order_book_min` and `ask_strategy.order_book_max` on the configured orderbook side are validated for a profitable sell-possibility based on the strategy configuration (`minimal_roi` conditions) and the sell order is placed at the first profitable spot.
+
+!!! Note
+    Using `order_book_max` higher than `order_book_min` only makes sense when ask_strategy.price_side is set to `"ask"`.
+
+The idea here is to place the sell order early, to be ahead in the queue.
+
+A fixed slot (mirroring `bid_strategy.order_book_top`) can be defined by setting `ask_strategy.order_book_min` and `ask_strategy.order_book_max` to the same number.
+
+!!! Warning "Order_book_max > 1 - increased risks for stoplosses!"
+    Using `ask_strategy.order_book_max` higher than 1 will increase the risk the stoploss on exchange is cancelled too early, since an eventual [stoploss on exchange](#understand-order_types) will be cancelled as soon as the order is placed.
+    Also, the sell order will remain on the exchange for `unfilledtimeout.sell` (or until it's filled) - which can lead to missed stoplosses (with or without using stoploss on exchange).
+
+!!! Warning "Order_book_max > 1 in dry-run"
+    Using `ask_strategy.order_book_max` higher than 1 will result in improper dry-run results (significantly better than real orders executed on exchange), since dry-run assumes orders to be filled almost instantly.
+    It is therefore advised to not use this setting for dry-runs.
+
+
+#### Sell price without Orderbook enabled
+
+When not using orderbook (`ask_strategy.use_order_book=False`), the price at the `ask_strategy.price_side` side (defaults to `"ask"`) from the ticker will be used as the sell price.

+
+Sometimes it can be desired to use a system-wide installation of Jupyter notebook, and use a jupyter kernel from the virtual environment.
+This prevents you from installing the full jupyter suite multiple times per system, and provides an easy way to switch between tasks (freqtrade / other analytics tasks).
+
+For this to work, first activate your virtual environment and run the following commands:
+
+``` bash
+# Activate virtual environment
+source .env/bin/activate
+
+pip install ipykernel
+ipython kernel install --user --name=freqtrade
+# Restart jupyter (lab / notebook)
+# select kernel "freqtrade" in the notebook
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    This section is provided for completeness, the Freqtrade Team won't provide full support for problems with this setup and will recommend to install Jupyter in the virtual environment directly, as that is the easiest way to get jupyter notebooks up and running. For help with this setup please refer to the [Project Jupyter](https://jupyter.org/) [documentation](https://jupyter.org/documentation) or [help channels](https://jupyter.org/community).
+
+    
 ## Fine print  
 
 Some tasks don't work especially well in notebooks. For example, anything using asynchronous execution is a problem for Jupyter. Also, freqtrade's primary entry point is the shell cli, so using pure python in a notebook bypasses arguments that provide required objects and parameters to helper functions. You may need to set those values or create expected objects manually.

+While fetching candle (OHLCV) data, we may end up getting incomplete candles (depending on the exchange).
 To demonstrate this, we'll use daily candles (`"1d"`) to keep things simple.
 We query the api (`ct.fetch_ohlcv()`) for the timeframe and look at the date of the last entry. If this entry changes or shows the date of a "incomplete" candle, then we should drop this since having incomplete candles is problematic because indicators assume that only complete candles are passed to them, and will generate a lot of false buy signals.

 * [Windows](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/)
 * [Linux](https://docs.docker.com/install/)
 
+Optionally, [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) should be installed and available to follow the [docker quick start guide](#docker-quick-start).
+
 Once you have Docker installed, simply prepare the config file (e.g. `config.json`) and run the image for `freqtrade` as explained below.
 
-## Download the official FreqTrade docker image
+## Freqtrade with docker-compose
+
+Freqtrade provides an official Docker image on [Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/freqtradeorg/freqtrade/), as well as a [docker-compose file](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docker-compose.yml) ready for usage.
+
+!!! Note
+    The following section assumes that docker and docker-compose is installed and available to the logged in user.
+
+!!! Note
+    All below comands use relative directories and will have to be executed from the directory containing the `docker-compose.yml` file.
+
+### Docker quick start
+
+Create a new directory and place the [docker-compose file](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docker-compose.yml) in this directory.
+
+``` bash
+mkdir ft_userdata
+cd ft_userdata/
+# Download the docker-compose file from the repository
+curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/develop/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
+
+# Pull the freqtrade image
+docker-compose pull
+
+# Create user directory structure
+docker-compose run --rm freqtrade create-userdir --userdir user_data
+
+# Create configuration - Requires answering interactive questions
+docker-compose run --rm freqtrade new-config --config user_data/config.json
+```
+
+The above snippet creates a new directory called "ft_userdata", downloads the latest compose file and pulls the freqtrade image.
+The last 2 steps in the snippet create the directory with user-data, as well as (interactively) the default configuration based on your selections.
+
+!!! Note
+    You can edit the configuration at any time, which is available as `user_data/config.json` (within the directory `ft_userdata`) when using the above configuration.
+
+#### Adding your strategy
+
+The configuration is now available as `user_data/config.json`.
+You should now copy your strategy to `user_data/strategies/` - and add the Strategy class name to the `docker-compose.yml` file, replacing `SampleStrategy`. If you wish to run the bot with the SampleStrategy, just leave it as it is.
+
+!!! Warning
+    The `SampleStrategy` is there for your reference and give you ideas for your own strategy.
+    Please always backtest the strategy and use dry-run for some time before risking real money!
+
+Once this is done, you're ready to launch the bot in trading mode (Dry-run or Live-trading, depending on your answer to the corresponding question you made above).
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+#### Docker-compose logs
+
+Logs will be written to `user_data/freqtrade.log`. 
+Alternatively, you can check the latest logs using `docker-compose logs -f`.
+
+#### Database
+
+The database will be in the user_data directory as well, and will be called `user_data/tradesv3.sqlite`.
+
+#### Updating freqtrade with docker-compose
+
+To update freqtrade when using docker-compose is as simple as running the following 2 commands:
+
+``` bash
+# Download the latest image
+docker-compose pull
+# Restart the image
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+This will first pull the latest image, and will then restart the container with the just pulled version.
+
+!!! Note
+    You should always check the changelog for breaking changes / manual interventions required and make sure the bot starts correctly after the update.
+
+#### Going from here
+
+Advanced users may edit the docker-compose file further to include all possible options or arguments.
+
+All possible freqtrade arguments will be available by running `docker-compose run --rm freqtrade <command> <optional arguments>`.
+
+!!! Note "`docker-compose run --rm`"
+    Including `--rm` will clean up the container after completion, and is highly recommended for all modes except trading mode (running with `freqtrade trade` command).
+
+##### Example: Download data with docker-compose
+
+Download backtesting data for 5 days for the pair ETH/BTC and 1h timeframe from Binance. The data will be stored in the directory `user_data/data/` on the host.
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose run --rm freqtrade download-data --pairs ETH/BTC --exchange binance --days 5 -t 1h
+```
+
+Head over to the [Data Downloading Documentation](data-download.md) for more details on downloading data.
+
+##### Example: Backtest with docker-compose
+
+Run backtesting in docker-containers for SampleStrategy and specified timerange of historical data, on 5m timeframe:
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose run --rm freqtrade backtesting --config user_data/config.json --strategy SampleStrategy --timerange 20190801-20191001 -i 5m
+```
+
+Head over to the [Backtesting Documentation](backtesting.md) to learn more.
+
+#### Additional dependencies with docker-compose
+
+If your strategy requires dependencies not included in the default image (like [technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/technical)) - it will be necessary to build the image on your host.
+For this, please create a Dockerfile containing installation steps for the additional dependencies (have a look at [Dockerfile.technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/Dockerfile.technical) for an example).
+
+You'll then also need to modify the `docker-compose.yml` file and uncomment the build step, as well as rename the image to avoid naming collisions.
+
+``` yaml
+    image: freqtrade_custom
+    build:
+      context: .
+      dockerfile: "./Dockerfile.<yourextension>"
+```
+
+You can then run `docker-compose build` to build the docker image, and run it using the commands described above.
+

 ## Introduction
+
 Trading is all about probability. No one can claim that he has a strategy working all the time. You have to assume that sometimes you lose.
 
 But it doesn't mean there is no rule, it only means rules should work "most of the time". Let's play a game: we toss a coin, heads: I give you 10$, tails: you give me 10$. Is it an interesting game? No, it's quite boring, isn't it?
@@ -22,43 +23,61 @@ Let's complicate it more: you win 80% of the time but only 2$, I win 20% of the
 The question is: How do you calculate that? How do you know if you wanna play?
 
 The answer comes to two factors:
+
 - Win Rate
 - Risk Reward Ratio
 
 ### Win Rate
+
 Win Rate (*W*) is is the mean over some amount of trades (*N*) what is the percentage of winning trades to total number of trades (note that we don't consider how much you gained but only if you won or not).
 
-    W = (Number of winning trades) / (Total number of trades) = (Number of winning trades) / N
+```
+W = (Number of winning trades) / (Total number of trades) = (Number of winning trades) / N
+```
 
 Complementary Loss Rate (*L*) is defined as
 
-    L = (Number of losing trades) / (Total number of trades) = (Number of losing trades) / N
+```
+L = (Number of losing trades) / (Total number of trades) = (Number of losing trades) / N
+```
 
 or, which is the same, as
 
-    L = 1 – W
+```
+L = 1 – W
+```
 
 ### Risk Reward Ratio
+
 Risk Reward Ratio (*R*) is a formula used to measure the expected gains of a given investment against the risk of loss. It is basically what you potentially win divided by what you potentially lose:
 
-    R = Profit / Loss
+```
+R = Profit / Loss
+```
 
 Over time, on many trades, you can calculate your risk reward by dividing your average profit on winning trades by your average loss on losing trades:
 
-    Average profit = (Sum of profits) / (Number of winning trades)
+```
+Average profit = (Sum of profits) / (Number of winning trades)
 
-    Average loss = (Sum of losses) / (Number of losing trades)
+Average loss = (Sum of losses) / (Number of losing trades)
 
-    R = (Average profit) / (Average loss)
+R = (Average profit) / (Average loss)
+```
 
 ### Expectancy
+
 At this point we can combine *W* and *R* to create an expectancy ratio. This is a simple process of multiplying the risk reward ratio by the percentage of winning trades and subtracting the percentage of losing trades, which is calculated as follows:
 
-    Expectancy Ratio = (Risk Reward Ratio X Win Rate) – Loss Rate = (R X W) – L
+```
+Expectancy Ratio = (Risk Reward Ratio X Win Rate) – Loss Rate = (R X W) – L
+```
 
 So lets say your Win rate is 28% and your Risk Reward Ratio is 5:
 
-    Expectancy = (5 X 0.28) – 0.72 = 0.68
+```
+Expectancy = (5 X 0.28) – 0.72 = 0.68
+```
 
 Superficially, this means that on average you expect this strategy’s trades to return .68 times the size of your loses. This is important for two reasons: First, it may seem obvious, but you know right away that you have a positive return. Second, you now have a number you can compare to other candidate systems to make decisions about which ones you employ.

It's still vital to do this testing in order to build confidence in your methodology, but be wary of "curve-fitting" your approach to the historical data as things are unlikely to play out the exact same way for future trades.
 
 ## How does it work?
+
 If enabled in config, Edge will go through historical data with a range of stoplosses in order to find buy and sell/stoploss signals. It then calculates win rate and expectancy over *N* trades for each stoploss. Here is an example:

 ## Configurations
+
 Edge module has following configuration options:
 
-#### enabled
-If true, then Edge will run periodically.
-
-(defaults to false)
-
-#### process_throttle_secs
-How often should Edge run in seconds?
-
-(defaults to 3600 so one hour)
-
-#### calculate_since_number_of_days
-Number of days of data against which Edge calculates Win Rate, Risk Reward and Expectancy
-Note that it downloads historical data so increasing this number would lead to slowing down the bot.
-
-(defaults to 7)
-
-#### capital_available_percentage
-This is the percentage of the total capital on exchange in stake currency.
-
-As an example if you have 10 ETH available in your wallet on the exchange and this value is 0.5 (which is 50%), then the bot will use a maximum amount of 5 ETH for trading and considers it as available capital.
-
-(defaults to 0.5)
-
-#### allowed_risk
-Percentage of allowed risk per trade.
-
-(defaults to 0.01 so 1%)
-
-#### stoploss_range_min
-
-Minimum stoploss.
-
-(defaults to -0.01)
-
-#### stoploss_range_max
-
-Maximum stoploss.
-
-(defaults to -0.10)
-
-#### stoploss_range_step
-
-As an example if this is set to -0.01 then Edge will test the strategy for \[-0.01, -0,02, -0,03 ..., -0.09, -0.10\] ranges.
-Note than having a smaller step means having a bigger range which could lead to slow calculation.
-
-If you set this parameter to -0.001, you then slow down the Edge calculation by a factor of 10.
-
-(defaults to -0.01)
-
-#### minimum_winrate
-
-It filters out pairs which don't have at least minimum_winrate.
-
-This comes handy if you want to be conservative and don't comprise win rate in favour of risk reward ratio.
-
-(defaults to 0.60)
-
-#### minimum_expectancy
-
-It filters out pairs which have the expectancy lower than this number.
-
-Having an expectancy of 0.20 means if you put 10$ on a trade you expect a 12$ return.
-
-(defaults to 0.20)
-
-#### min_trade_number
-
-When calculating *W*, *R* and *E* (expectancy) against historical data, you always want to have a minimum number of trades. The more this number is the more Edge is reliable.
-
-Having a win rate of 100% on a single trade doesn't mean anything at all. But having a win rate of 70% over past 100 trades means clearly something.
-
-(defaults to 10, it is highly recommended not to decrease this number)
-
-#### max_trade_duration_minute
-
-Edge will filter out trades with long duration. If a trade is profitable after 1 month, it is hard to evaluate the strategy based on it. But if most of trades are profitable and they have maximum duration of 30 minutes, then it is clearly a good sign.
-
-**NOTICE:** While configuring this value, you should take into consideration your ticker interval. As an example filtering out trades having duration less than one day for a strategy which has 4h interval does not make sense. Default value is set assuming your strategy interval is relatively small (1m or 5m, etc.).
-
-(defaults to 1 day, i.e. to 60 * 24 = 1440 minutes)
-
-#### remove_pumps
-
-Edge will remove sudden pumps in a given market while going through historical data. However, given that pumps happen very often in crypto markets, we recommend you keep this off.

+
+Most exchanges return current incomplete candle via their OHLCV/klines API interface.
+By default, Freqtrade assumes that incomplete candle is fetched from the exchange and removes the last candle assuming it's the incomplete candle.
+
+Whether your exchange returns incomplete candles or not can be checked using [the helper script](developer.md#Incomplete-candles) from the Contributor documentation.
+
+Due to the danger of repainting, Freqtrade does not allow you to use this incomplete candle.
+
+However, if it is based on the need for the latest price for your strategy - then this requirement can be acquired using the [data provider](strategy-customization.md#possible-options-for-dataprovider) from within the strategy.

 ### How do I search the bot logs for something?
 
 By default, the bot writes its log into stderr stream. This is implemented this way so that you can easily separate the bot's diagnostics messages from Backtesting, Edge and Hyperopt results, output from other various Freqtrade utility subcommands, as well as from the output of your custom `print()`'s you may have inserted into your strategy. So if you need to search the log messages with the grep utility, you need to redirect stderr to stdout and disregard stdout.

 ## Features
 
- - Based on Python 3.6+: For botting on any operating system — Windows, macOS and Linux.
- - Persistence: Persistence is achieved through sqlite database.
- - Dry-run mode: Run the bot without playing money.
- - Backtesting: Run a simulation of your buy/sell strategy with historical data.
- - Strategy Optimization by machine learning: Use machine learning to optimize your buy/sell strategy parameters with real exchange data.
- - Edge position sizing: Calculate your win rate, risk reward ratio, the best stoploss and adjust your position size before taking a position for each specific market.
- - Whitelist crypto-currencies: Select which crypto-currency you want to trade or use dynamic whitelists based on market (pair) trade volume.
- - Blacklist crypto-currencies: Select which crypto-currency you want to avoid.
- - Manageable via Telegram or REST APi: Manage the bot with Telegram or via the builtin REST API.
- - Display profit/loss in fiat: Display your profit/loss in any of 33 fiat currencies supported.
- - Daily summary of profit/loss: Receive the daily summary of your profit/loss.
- - Performance status report: Receive the performance status of your current trades.
+- Develop your Strategy: Write your strategy in python, using [pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/). Example strategies to inspire you are available in the [strategy repository](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade-strategies).
+- Download market data: Download historical data of the exchange and the markets your may want to trade with.
+- Backtest: Test your strategy on downloaded historical data.
+- Optimize: Find the best parameters for your strategy using hyperoptimization which employs machining learning methods. You can optimize buy, sell, take profit (ROI), stop-loss and trailing stop-loss parameters for your strategy.
+- Select markets: Create your static list or use an automatic one based on top traded volumes and/or prices (not available during backtesting). You can also explicitly blacklist markets you don't want to trade.
+- Run: Test your strategy with simulated money (Dry-Run mode) or deploy it with real money (Live-Trade mode).

+### Plot dataframe basics
+
+![plot-dataframe2](assets/plot-dataframe2.png)
+
+The `plot-dataframe` subcommand requires backtesting data, a strategy and either a backtesting-results file or a database, containing trades corresponding to the strategy.
+
+The resulting plot will have the following elements:
+
+* Green triangles: Buy signals from the strategy. (Note: not every buy signal generates a trade, compare to cyan circles.)
+* Red triangles: Sell signals from the strategy. (Also, not every sell signal terminates a trade, compare to red and green squares.)
+* Cyan circles: Trade entry points.
+* Red squares: Trade exit points for trades with loss or 0% profit.
+* Green squares: Trade exit points for profitable trades.
+* Indicators with values corresponding to the candle scale (e.g. SMA/EMA), as specified with `--indicators1`.
+* Volume (bar chart at the bottom of the main chart).
+* Indicators with values in different scales (e.g. MACD, RSI) below the volume bars, as specified with `--indicators2`.
+
+!!! Note "Bollinger Bands"
+    Bollinger bands are automatically added to the plot if the columns `bb_lowerband` and `bb_upperband` exist, and are painted as a light blue area spanning from the lower band to the upper band.
+
+#### Advanced plot configuration
+
+An advanced plot configuration can be specified in the strategy in the `plot_config` parameter.
+
+Additional features when using plot_config include:
+
+* Specify colors per indicator
+* Specify additional subplots
+
+The sample plot configuration below specifies fixed colors for the indicators. Otherwise consecutive plots may produce different colorschemes each time, making comparisons difficult.
+It also allows multiple subplots to display both MACD and RSI at the same time.
+
+Sample configuration with inline comments explaining the process:
+
+``` python
+    plot_config = {
+        'main_plot': {
+            # Configuration for main plot indicators.
+            # Specifies `ema10` to be red, and `ema50` to be a shade of gray
+            'ema10': {'color': 'red'},
+            'ema50': {'color': '#CCCCCC'},
+            # By omitting color, a random color is selected.
+            'sar': {},
+        },
+        'subplots': {
+            # Create subplot MACD
+            "MACD": {
+                'macd': {'color': 'blue'},
+                'macdsignal': {'color': 'orange'},
+            },
+            # Additional subplot RSI
+            "RSI": {
+                'rsi': {'color': 'red'},
+            }
+        }
+    }
+```

+!!! Note
+    The above configuration assumes that `ema10`, `ema50`, `macd`, `macdsignal` and `rsi` are columns in the DataFrame created by the strategy.

+### Prevent trades from happening for a specific pair
+
+Freqtrade locks pairs automatically for the current candle (until that candle is over) when a pair is sold, preventing an immediate re-buy of that pair.
+
+Locked pairs will show the message `Pair <pair> is currently locked.`.
+
+#### Locking pairs from within the strategy
+
+Sometimes it may be desired to lock a pair after certain events happen (e.g. multiple losing trades in a row).
+
+Freqtrade has an easy method to do this from within the strategy, by calling `self.lock_pair(pair, until)`.
+`until` must be a datetime object in the future, after which trading will be reenabled for that pair.
+
+Locks can also be lifted manually, by calling `self.unlock_pair(pair)`.
+
+To verify if a pair is currently locked, use `self.is_pair_locked(pair)`.
+
+!!! Note
+    Locked pairs are not persisted, so a restart of the bot, or calling `/reload_conf` will reset locked pairs.
+
+!!! Warning
+    Locking pairs is not functioning during backtesting.
+
+##### Pair locking example
+
+``` python
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+from datetime import timedelta, datetime, timezone
+# Put the above lines a the top of the strategy file, next to all the other imports
+# --------
+
+# Within populate indicators (or populate_buy):
+if self.config['runmode'].value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
+   # fetch closed trades for the last 2 days
+    trades = Trade.get_trades([Trade.pair == metadata['pair'],
+                               Trade.open_date > datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(days=2),
+                               Trade.is_open == False,
+                ]).all()
+    # Analyze the conditions you'd like to lock the pair .... will probably be different for every strategy

+### Derived strategies
+
+The strategies can be derived from other strategies. This avoids duplication of your custom strategy code. You can use this technique to override small parts of your main strategy, leaving the rest untouched:
+
+``` python
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    ...
+    stoploss = 0.13
+    trailing_stop = False
+    # All other attributes and methods are here as they
+    # should be in any custom strategy...
+    ...
+
+class MyAwesomeStrategy2(MyAwesomeStrategy):
+    # Override something
+    stoploss = 0.08
+    trailing_stop = True
+```
+
+Both attributes and methods may be overriden, altering behavior of the original strategy in a way you need.
+
 ### Common mistakes when developing strategies
 
 Backtesting analyzes the whole time-range at once for performance reasons. Because of this, strategy authors need to make sure that strategies do not look-ahead into the future.
