 Since backtesting lacks some detailed information about what happens within a candle, it needs to take a few assumptions:
 
 - Buys happen at open-price
-- Sell signal sells happen at open-price of the following candle
+- Sell-signal sells happen at open-price of the consecutive candle
-- Low happens before high for stoploss, protecting capital first
+- Sell-signal is favored over Stoploss, because sell-signals are assumed to trigger on candle's open
 - ROI
   - sells are compared to high - but the ROI value is used (e.g. ROI = 2%, high=5% - so the sell will be at 2%)
   - sells are never "below the candle", so a ROI of 2% may result in a sell at 2.4% if low was at 2.4% profit
   - Forcesells caused by `<N>=-1` ROI entries use low as sell value, unless N falls on the candle open (e.g. `120: -1` for 1h candles)
-- Stoploss sells happen exactly at stoploss price, even if low was lower
+- Stoploss sells happen exactly at stoploss price, even if low was lower, but the loss will be `2 * fees` higher than the stoploss price
+- Stoploss is evaluated before ROI within one candle. So you can often see more trades with the `stoploss` sell reason comparing to the results obtained with the same strategy in the Dry Run/Live Trade modes
+- Low happens before high for stoploss, protecting capital first
 - Trailing stoploss
   - High happens first - adjusting stoploss
   - Low uses the adjusted stoploss (so sells with large high-low difference are backtested correctly)
+  - ROI applies before trailing-stop, ensuring profits are "top-capped" at ROI if both ROI and trailing stop applies
 - Sell-reason does not explain if a trade was positive or negative, just what triggered the sell (this can look odd if negative ROI values are used)
-- Stoploss (and trailing stoploss) is evaluated before ROI within one candle. So you can often see more trades with the `stoploss` and/or `trailing_stop` sell reason comparing to the results obtained with the same strategy in the Dry Run/Live Trade modes.
+- Evaluation sequence (if multiple signals happen on the same candle)
+  - ROI (if not stoploss)
+  - Sell-signal
+  - Stoploss
 
 Taking these assumptions, backtesting tries to mirror real trading as closely as possible. However, backtesting will **never** replace running a strategy in dry-run mode.
 Also, keep in mind that past results don't guarantee future success.

-Prices for regular orders can be controlled via the parameter structures `bid_strategy` for buying and `ask_strategy` for selling.
+## Using Dry-run mode
-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.
-
-!!! Warning "Using market orders"
-    Please read the section [Market order pricing](#market-order-pricing) section when using market orders.
-
-### 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.
-
-### Market order pricing
-
-When using market orders, prices should be configured to use the "correct" side of the orderbook to allow realistic pricing detection.
-Assuming both buy and sell are using market orders, a configuration similar to the following might be used
-
-``` jsonc
-  "order_types": {
-    "buy": "market",
-    "sell": "market"
-    // ...
-  },
-  "bid_strategy": {
-    "price_side": "ask",
-    // ...
-  },
-  "ask_strategy":{
-    "price_side": "bid",
-    // ...
-  },
-```
-
-Obviously, if only one side is using limit orders, different pricing combinations can be used.

-## Embedding Strategies
-
-Freqtrade provides you with with an easy way to embed the strategy into your configuration file.
-This is done by utilizing BASE64 encoding and providing this string at the strategy configuration field,
-in your chosen config file.
-
-### Encoding a string as BASE64
-
-This is a quick example, how to generate the BASE64 string in python
-
-```python
-from base64 import urlsafe_b64encode
-
-with open(file, 'r') as f:
-    content = f.read()
-content = urlsafe_b64encode(content.encode('utf-8'))
-```
-
-The variable 'content', will contain the strategy file in a BASE64 encoded form. Which can now be set in your configurations file as following
-
-```json
-"strategy": "NameOfStrategy:BASE64String"
-```
-
-Please ensure that 'NameOfStrategy' is identical to the strategy name!

+### Protections
+
+Best read the [Protection documentation](plugins.md#protections) to understand protections.
+This Guide is directed towards Developers who want to develop a new protection.
+
+No protection should use datetime directly, but use the provided `date_now` variable for date calculations. This preserves the ability to backtest protections.
+
+!!! Tip "Writing a new Protection"
+    Best copy one of the existing Protections to have a good example.
+    Don't forget to register your protection in `constants.py` under the variable `AVAILABLE_PROTECTIONS` - otherwise it will not be selectable.
+
+#### Implementation of a new protection
+
+All Protection implementations must have `IProtection` as parent class.
+For that reason, they must implement the following methods:
+
+* `short_desc()`
+* `global_stop()`
+* `stop_per_pair()`.
+
+`global_stop()` and `stop_per_pair()` must return a ProtectionReturn tuple, which consists of:
+
+* lock pair - boolean
+* lock until - datetime - until when should the pair be locked (will be rounded up to the next new candle)
+* reason - string, used for logging and storage in the database
+
+The `until` portion should be calculated using the provided `calculate_lock_end()` method.
+
+All Protections should use `"stop_duration"` / `"stop_duration_candles"` to define how long a a pair (or all pairs) should be locked.
+The content of this is made available as `self._stop_duration` to the each Protection.
+
+If your protection requires a look-back period, please use `"lookback_period"` / `"lockback_period_candles"` to keep all protections aligned.
+
+#### Global vs. local stops
+
+Protections can have 2 different ways to stop trading for a limited :
+
+* Per pair (local)
+* For all Pairs (globally)
+
+##### Protections - per pair
+
+Protections that implement the per pair approach must set `has_local_stop=True`.
+The method `stop_per_pair()` will be called whenever a trade closed (sell order completed).
+
+##### Protections - global protection
+
+These Protections should do their evaluation across all pairs, and consequently will also lock all pairs from trading (called a global PairLock).
+Global protection must set `has_global_stop=True` to be evaluated for global stops.
+The method `global_stop()` will be called whenever a trade closed (sell order completed).
+
+##### Protections - calculating lock end time
+
+Protections should calculate the lock end time based on the last trade it considers.
+This avoids re-locking should the lookback-period be longer than the actual lock period.
+
+The `IProtection` parent class provides a helper method for this in `calculate_lock_end()`.

-```bash
-cd freqtrade
-cp -n config.json.example config.json
-```
-
-> To understand the configuration options, please refer to the [Bot Configuration](configuration.md) page.
-
-#### Create your database file
-
-=== "Dry-Run"
-    ``` bash
-    touch tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite
-    ```
-
-=== "Production"
-    ``` bash
-    touch tradesv3.sqlite
-    ```
-
-
-!!! Warning "Database File Path"
-    Make sure to use the path to the correct database file when starting the bot in Docker.
-
-### Build your own Docker image
-
-Best start by pulling the official docker image from dockerhub as explained [here](#download-the-official-docker-image) to speed up building.
-
-To add additional libraries to your docker image, best check out [Dockerfile.technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docker/Dockerfile.technical) which adds the [technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/technical) module to the image.
-
-```bash
-docker build -t freqtrade -f docker/Dockerfile.technical .
-```
-
-If you are developing using Docker, use `docker/Dockerfile.develop` to build a dev Docker image, which will also set up develop dependencies:
-
-```bash
-docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.develop -t freqtrade-dev .
-```
-
-!!! Warning "Include your config file manually"
-    For security reasons, your configuration file will not be included in the image, you will need to bind mount it. It is also advised to bind mount an SQLite database file (see [5. Run a restartable docker image](#run-a-restartable-docker-image)") to keep it between  updates.
-
-#### Verify the Docker image
-
-After the build process you can verify that the image was created with:
-
-```bash
-docker images
-```
-
-The output should contain the freqtrade image.
-
-### Run the Docker image
-
-You can run a one-off container that is immediately deleted upon exiting with the following command (`config.json` must be in the current working directory):
-
-```bash
-docker run --rm -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
-```
-
-!!! Warning
-    In this example, the database will be created inside the docker instance and will be lost when you refresh your image.
-
-#### Adjust timezone
-
-By default, the container will use UTC timezone.
-If you would like to change the timezone use the following commands:
-
-=== "Linux"
-    ``` bash
-    -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
-
-    # Complete command:
-    docker run --rm -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
-    ```
-
-=== "MacOS"
-    ```bash
-    docker run --rm -e TZ=`ls -la /etc/localtime | cut -d/ -f8-9` -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
-    ```
-
-!!! Note "MacOS Issues"
-    The OSX Docker versions after 17.09.1 have a known issue whereby `/etc/localtime` cannot be shared causing Docker to not start.<br>
-    A work-around for this is to start with the MacOS command above
-    More information on this docker issue and work-around can be read [here](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/2396).
-
-### Run a restartable docker image
-
-To run a restartable instance in the background (feel free to place your configuration and database files wherever it feels comfortable on your filesystem).
-
-#### 1. Move your config file and database
-
-The following will assume that you place your configuration / database files to `~/.freqtrade`, which is a hidden directory in your home directory. Feel free to use a different directory and replace the directory in the upcomming commands.
-
-```bash
-mkdir ~/.freqtrade
-mv config.json ~/.freqtrade
-mv tradesv3.sqlite ~/.freqtrade
-```
-
-#### 2. Run the docker image
-
-```bash
-docker run -d \
-  --name freqtrade \
-  -v ~/.freqtrade/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json \
-  -v ~/.freqtrade/user_data/:/freqtrade/user_data \
-  -v ~/.freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite:/freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite \
-  freqtrade trade --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite --strategy MyAwesomeStrategy
-```
-
-!!! Note
-    When using docker, it's best to specify `--db-url` explicitly to ensure that the database URL and the mounted database file match.
-
-!!! Note
-    All available bot command line parameters can be added to the end of the `docker run` command.
-
-!!! Note
-    You can define a [restart policy](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/start-containers-automatically/) in docker. It can be useful in some cases to use the `--restart unless-stopped` flag (crash of freqtrade or reboot of your system).
-
-### Monitor your Docker instance
-
-You can use the following commands to monitor and manage your container:
-
-```bash
-docker logs freqtrade
-docker logs -f freqtrade
-docker restart freqtrade
-docker stop freqtrade
-docker start freqtrade
-```
-
-For more information on how to operate Docker, please refer to the [official Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/).
-
-!!! Note
-    You do not need to rebuild the image for configuration changes, it will suffice to edit `config.json` and restart the container.
-
-### Backtest with docker
-
-The following assumes that the download/setup of the docker image have been completed successfully.
-Also, backtest-data should be available at `~/.freqtrade/user_data/`.
-
-```bash
-docker run -d \
-  --name freqtrade \
-  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
-  -v ~/.freqtrade/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json \
-  -v ~/.freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite:/freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite \
-  -v ~/.freqtrade/user_data/:/freqtrade/user_data/ \
-  freqtrade backtesting --strategy AwsomelyProfitableStrategy
-```
-
-Head over to the [Backtesting Documentation](backtesting.md) for more details.
-
-!!! Note
-    Additional bot command line parameters can be appended after the image name (`freqtrade` in the above example).

 of the search space, assuming that the bot never tests the same parameters more than once.
 
 * The time it takes to run 1000 hyperopt epochs depends on things like: The available cpu, hard-disk, ram, timeframe, timerange, indicator settings, indicator count, amount of coins that hyperopt test strategies on and the resulting trade count - which can be 650 trades in a year or 10.0000 trades depending if the strategy aims for big profits by trading rarely or for many low profit trades. 
 
 Example: 4% profit 650 times vs 0,3% profit a trade 10.000 times in a year. If we assume you set the --timerange to 365 days.

+## 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.

+    Please read the section [Market order pricing](#market-order-pricing) section when using market orders.
+
+### 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.
+
+### Market order pricing
+
+When using market orders, prices should be configured to use the "correct" side of the orderbook to allow realistic pricing detection.
+Assuming both buy and sell are using market orders, a configuration similar to the following might be used
+
+``` jsonc
+  "order_types": {
+    "buy": "market",
+    "sell": "market"
+    // ...
+  },
+  "bid_strategy": {
+    "price_side": "ask",
+    // ...
+  },
+  "ask_strategy":{
+    "price_side": "bid",
+    // ...
+  },
+```
+
+Obviously, if only one side is using limit orders, different pricing combinations can be used.

+## Protections
+
+!!! Warning "Beta feature"
+    This feature is still in it's testing phase. Should you notice something you think is wrong please let us know via Discord, Slack or via Github Issue.
+
+Protections will protect your strategy from unexpected events and market conditions by temporarily stop trading for either one pair, or for all pairs.
+All protection end times are rounded up to the next candle to avoid sudden, unexpected intra-candle buys.
+
+!!! Note
+    Not all Protections will work for all strategies, and parameters will need to be tuned for your strategy to improve performance.  
+    To align your protection with your strategy, you can define protections in the strategy.
+
+!!! Tip
+    Each Protection can be configured multiple times with different parameters, to allow different levels of protection (short-term / long-term).
+
+!!! Note "Backtesting"
+    Protections are supported by backtesting and hyperopt, but must be explicitly enabled by using the `--enable-protections` flag.
+
+### Available Protections
+
+* [`StoplossGuard`](#stoploss-guard) Stop trading if a certain amount of stoploss occurred within a certain time window.
+* [`MaxDrawdown`](#maxdrawdown) Stop trading if max-drawdown is reached.
+* [`LowProfitPairs`](#low-profit-pairs) Lock pairs with low profits
+* [`CooldownPeriod`](#cooldown-period) Don't enter a trade right after selling a trade.
+
+### Common settings to all Protections
+
+|  Parameter| Description |
+|------------|-------------|
+| `method` | Protection name to use. <br> **Datatype:** String, selected from [available Protections](#available-protections)
+| `stop_duration_candles` | For how many candles should the lock be set? <br> **Datatype:** Positive integer (in candles)
+| `stop_duration` | how many minutes should protections be locked. <br>Cannot be used together with `stop_duration_candles`. <br> **Datatype:** Float (in minutes)
+| `lookback_period_candles` | Only trades that completed within the last `lookback_period_candles` candles will be considered. This setting may be ignored by some Protections. <br> **Datatype:** Positive integer (in candles).
+| `lookback_period` | Only trades that completed after `current_time - lookback_period` will be considered. <br>Cannot be used together with `lookback_period_candles`. <br>This setting may be ignored by some Protections. <br> **Datatype:**  Float (in minutes)
+| `trade_limit` | Number of trades required at minimum (not used by all Protections). <br> **Datatype:** Positive integer
+
+!!! Note "Durations"
+    Durations (`stop_duration*` and `lookback_period*` can be defined in either minutes or candles).
+    For more flexibility when testing different timeframes, all below examples will use the "candle" definition.
+
+#### Stoploss Guard
+
+`StoplossGuard` selects all trades within `lookback_period` in minutes (or in candles when using `lookback_period_candles`).
+If `trade_limit` or more trades resulted in stoploss, trading will stop for `stop_duration` in minutes (or in candles when using `stop_duration_candles`).
+
+This applies across all pairs, unless `only_per_pair` is set to true, which will then only look at one pair at a time.
+
+The below example stops trading for all pairs for 4 candles after the last trade if the bot hit stoploss 4 times within the last 24 candles.
+
+```json
+"protections": [
+    {
+        "method": "StoplossGuard",
+        "lookback_period_candles": 24,
+        "trade_limit": 4,
+        "stop_duration_candles": 4,
+        "only_per_pair": false
+    }
+],
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    `StoplossGuard` considers all trades with the results `"stop_loss"`, `"stoploss_on_exchange"` and `"trailing_stop_loss"` if the resulting profit was negative.
+    `trade_limit` and `lookback_period` will need to be tuned for your strategy.
+
+#### MaxDrawdown
+
+`MaxDrawdown` uses all trades within `lookback_period` in minutes (or in candles when using `lookback_period_candles`) to determine the maximum drawdown. If the drawdown is below `max_allowed_drawdown`, trading will stop for `stop_duration` in minutes (or in candles when using `stop_duration_candles`) after the last trade - assuming that the bot needs some time to let markets recover.
+
+The below sample stops trading for 12 candles if max-drawdown is > 20% considering all pairs - with a minimum of `trade_limit` trades - within the last 48 candles. If desired, `lookback_period` and/or `stop_duration` can be used.
+
+```json
+"protections": [
+      {
+        "method": "MaxDrawdown",
+        "lookback_period_candles": 48,
+        "trade_limit": 20,
+        "stop_duration_candles": 12,
+        "max_allowed_drawdown": 0.2
+      },
+],
+```
+
+#### Low Profit Pairs
+
+`LowProfitPairs` uses all trades for a pair within `lookback_period` in minutes (or in candles when using `lookback_period_candles`) to determine the overall profit ratio.
+If that ratio is below `required_profit`, that pair will be locked for `stop_duration` in minutes (or in candles when using `stop_duration_candles`).
+
+The below example will stop trading a pair for 60 minutes if the pair does not have a required profit of 2% (and a minimum of 2 trades) within the last 6 candles.
+
+```json
+"protections": [
+    {
+        "method": "LowProfitPairs",
+        "lookback_period_candles": 6,
+        "trade_limit": 2,
+        "stop_duration": 60,
+        "required_profit": 0.02
+    }
+],
+```
+
+#### Cooldown Period
+
+`CooldownPeriod` locks a pair for `stop_duration` in minutes (or in candles when using `stop_duration_candles`) after selling, avoiding a re-entry for this pair for `stop_duration` minutes.
+
+The below example will stop trading a pair for 2 candles after closing a trade, allowing this pair to "cool down".
+
+```json
+"protections": [
+    {
+        "method": "CooldownPeriod",
+        "stop_duration_candles": 2
+    }
+],
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    This Protection applies only at pair-level, and will never lock all pairs globally.
+    This Protection does not consider `lookback_period` as it only looks at the latest trade.
+
+### Full example of Protections
+
+All protections can be combined at will, also with different parameters, creating a increasing wall for under-performing pairs.
+All protections are evaluated in the sequence they are defined.
+
+The below example assumes a timeframe of 1 hour:
+
+* Locks each pair after selling for an additional 5 candles (`CooldownPeriod`), giving other pairs a chance to get filled.
+* Stops trading for 4 hours (`4 * 1h candles`) if the last 2 days (`48 * 1h candles`) had 20 trades, which caused a max-drawdown of more than 20%. (`MaxDrawdown`).
+* Stops trading if more than 4 stoploss occur for all pairs within a 1 day (`24 * 1h candles`) limit (`StoplossGuard`).
+* Locks all pairs that had 4 Trades within the last 6 hours (`6 * 1h candles`) with a combined profit ratio of below 0.02 (<2%) (`LowProfitPairs`).
+* Locks all pairs for 2 candles that had a profit of below 0.01 (<1%) within the last 24h (`24 * 1h candles`), a minimum of 4 trades.
+
+```json
+"timeframe": "1h",
+"protections": [
+    {
+        "method": "CooldownPeriod",
+        "stop_duration_candles": 5
+    },
+    {
+        "method": "MaxDrawdown",
+        "lookback_period_candles": 48,
+        "trade_limit": 20,
+        "stop_duration_candles": 4,
+        "max_allowed_drawdown": 0.2
+    },
+    {
+        "method": "StoplossGuard",
+        "lookback_period_candles": 24,
+        "trade_limit": 4,
+        "stop_duration_candles": 2,
+        "only_per_pair": false
+    },
+    {
+        "method": "LowProfitPairs",
+        "lookback_period_candles": 6,
+        "trade_limit": 2,
+        "stop_duration_candles": 60,
+        "required_profit": 0.02
+    },
+    {
+        "method": "LowProfitPairs",
+        "lookback_period_candles": 24,
+        "trade_limit": 4,
+        "stop_duration_candles": 2,
+        "required_profit": 0.01
+    }
+    ],
+```
+
+You can use the same in your strategy, the syntax is only slightly different:
+
+``` python
+from freqtrade.strategy import IStrategy
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy)
+    timeframe = '1h'
+    protections = [
+        {
+            "method": "CooldownPeriod",
+            "stop_duration_candles": 5
+        },
+        {
+            "method": "MaxDrawdown",

-### Anaconda
+## Installation with Conda
 
-Freqtrade can also be installed using Anaconda (or Miniconda).
+Freqtrade can also be installed with Miniconda or Anaconda. We recommend using Miniconda as it's installation footprint is smaller. Conda will automatically prepare and manage the extensive library-dependencies of the Freqtrade program.
 
-!!! Note
+### What is Conda?
-    This requires the [ta-lib](#1-install-ta-lib) C-library to be installed first. See below.
 
-``` bash
+Conda is a package, dependency and environment manager for multiple programming languages: [conda docs](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/index.html)

+
+[Installing on windows](https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/windows.html)
+
+Answer all questions. After installation, it is mandatory to turn your terminal OFF and ON again.
+
+#### Freqtrade download
+
+Download and install freqtrade.
+
+```bash
+# download freqtrade
+git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
+
+# enter downloaded directory 'freqtrade'
+cd freqtrade      
 ```
 
+#### Freqtrade instal: Conda Environment
+
+Prepare conda-freqtrade environment, using file `environment.yml`, which exist in main freqtrade directory
+
+```bash
+conda env create -n freqtrade-conda -f environment.yml
+```
+
+!!! Note "Creating Conda Environment"
+    The conda command `create -n` automatically installs all nested dependencies for the selected libraries, general structure of installation command is:
+
+    ```bash
+    # choose your own packages
+    conda env create -n [name of the environment] [python version] [packages]
+
+    # point to file with packages
+    conda env create -n [name of the environment] -f [file]
+    ```
+
+#### Enter/exit freqtrade-conda environment
+
+To check available environments, type
+
+```bash
+conda env list
+```
+
+Enter installed environment
+
+```bash
+# enter conda environment
+conda activate freqtrade-conda
+
+# exit conda environment - don't do it now
+conda deactivate
+```
+
+Install last python dependencies with pip
+
+```bash
+python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
+python3 -m pip install -e .
+```
+
+### Congratulations
+
+[You are ready](#you-are-ready), and run the bot

+
+#deactivate any conda environments
+conda deactivate                              
+```
+
+### Further info on anaconda
+
+!!! Info "New heavy packages"
+    It may happen that creating a new Conda environment, populated with selected packages at the moment of creation takes less time than installing a large, heavy library or application, into previously set environment.
+
+!!! Warning "pip install within conda"
+    The documentation of conda says that pip should NOT be used within conda, because internal problems can occur.
+    However, they are rare. [Anaconda Blogpost](https://www.anaconda.com/blog/using-pip-in-a-conda-environment)
+
+    Nevertheless, that is why, the `conda-forge` channel is preferred:
+
+    * more libraries are available (less need for `pip`)
+    * `conda-forge` works better with `pip`
+    * the libraries are newer
+
+Happy trading!

-## Troubleshooting 
+
+## You are ready
+
+You've made it this far, so you have successfully installed freqtrade.
+
+### Initialize the configuration
+
+```bash
+# Step 1 - Initialize user folder
+freqtrade create-userdir --userdir user_data
+
+# Step 2 - Create a new configuration file
+freqtrade new-config --config config.json
+```
+
+You are ready to run, read [Bot Configuration](configuration.md), remember to start with `dry_run: True` and verify that everything is working.
+
+To learn how to setup your configuration, please refer to the [Bot Configuration](configuration.md) documentation page.
+
+### Start the Bot
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade --config config.json --strategy SampleStrategy
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    You should read through the rest of the documentation, backtest the strategy you're going to use, and use dry-run before enabling trading with real money.
+
+-----
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common problem: "command not found"
+
+If you used (1)`Script` or (2)`Manual` installation, you need to run the bot in virtual environment. If you get error as below, make sure venv is active.
+
+```bash
+# if:
+bash: freqtrade: command not found
+
+# then activate your .env
+source ./.env/bin/activate
+```

+Freqtrade provides a builtin webserver, which can serve [FreqUI](https://github.com/freqtrade/frequi), the freqtrade UI.
+
+By default, the UI is not included in the installation (except for docker images), and must be installed explicitly with `freqtrade install-ui`.
+This same command can also be used to update freqUI, should there be a new release.
+
+Once the bot is started in trade / dry-run mode (with `freqtrade trade`) - the UI will be available under the configured port below (usually `http://127.0.0.1:8080`).

     All callback methods described below should only be implemented in a strategy if they are actually used.
 
+!!! Tip
+    You can get a strategy template containing all below methods by running `freqtrade new-strategy --strategy MyAwesomeStrategy --template advanced`
+
+## Custom stoploss
+
+A stoploss can only ever move upwards - so if you set it to an absolute profit of 2%, you can never move it below this price.
+Also, the traditional `stoploss` value serves as an absolute lower level and will be instated as the initial stoploss.
+
+The usage of the custom stoploss method must be enabled by setting `use_custom_stoploss=True` on the strategy object.
+The method must return a stoploss value (float / number) with a relative ratio below the current price.
+E.g. `current_profit = 0.05` (5% profit) - stoploss returns `0.02` - then you "locked in" a profit of 3% (`0.05 - 0.02 = 0.03`).
+
+To simulate a regular trailing stoploss of 4% (trailing 4% behind the maximum reached price) you would use the following very simple method:
+
+``` python
+# additional imports required
+from datetime import datetime
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    use_custom_stoploss = True
+
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+        """
+        Custom stoploss logic, returning the new distance relative to current_rate (as ratio).
+        e.g. returning -0.05 would create a stoploss 5% below current_rate.
+        The custom stoploss can never be below self.stoploss, which serves as a hard maximum loss.
+
+        For full documentation please go to https://www.freqtrade.io/en/latest/strategy-advanced/
+
+        When not implemented by a strategy, returns the initial stoploss value
+        Only called when use_custom_stoploss is set to True.

+        :param current_time: datetime object, containing the current datetime

+        :param current_profit: Current profit (as ratio), calculated based on current_rate.
+        :param **kwargs: Ensure to keep this here so updates to this won't break your strategy.
+        :return float: New stoploss value, relative to the currentrate
+        """
+        return -0.04
+```
+
+Stoploss on exchange works similar to `trailing_stop`, and the stoploss on exchange is updated as configured in `stoploss_on_exchange_interval` ([More details about stoploss on exchange](stoploss.md#stop-loss-on-exchange-freqtrade)).
+
+!!! Note "Use of dates"
+    All time-based calculations should be done based on `current_time` - using `datetime.now()` or `datetime.utcnow()` is discouraged, as this will break backtesting support.
+
+!!! Tip "Trailing stoploss"
+    It's recommended to disable `trailing_stop` when using custom stoploss values. Both can work in tandem, but you might encounter the trailing stop to move the price higher while your custom function would not want this, causing conflicting behavior.
+
+### Custom stoploss examples
+
+The next section will show some examples on what's possible with the custom stoploss function.
+Of course, many more things are possible, and all examples can be combined at will.
+
+#### Time based trailing stop
+
+Use the initial stoploss for the first 60 minutes, after this change to 10% trailing stoploss, and after 2 hours (120 minutes) we use a 5% trailing stoploss.
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime, timedelta
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    use_custom_stoploss = True
+
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        # Make sure you have the longest interval first - these conditions are evaluated from top to bottom.
+        if current_time - timedelta(minutes=120) > trade.open_date:
+            return -0.05
+        elif current_time - timedelta(minutes=60) > trade.open_date:
+            return -0.10
+        return 1
+```
+
+#### Different stoploss per pair
+
+Use a different stoploss depending on the pair.
+In this example, we'll trail the highest price with 10% trailing stoploss for `ETH/BTC` and `XRP/BTC`, with 5% trailing stoploss for `LTC/BTC` and with 15% for all other pairs.
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    use_custom_stoploss = True
+
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        if pair in ('ETH/BTC', 'XRP/BTC'):
+            return -0.10
+        elif pair in ('LTC/BTC'):
+            return -0.05
+        return -0.15
+```
+
+#### Trailing stoploss with positive offset
+
+Use the initial stoploss until the profit is above 4%, then use a trailing stoploss of 50% of the current profit with a minimum of 2.5% and a maximum of 5%.
+
+Please note that the stoploss can only increase, values lower than the current stoploss are ignored.
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime, timedelta
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    use_custom_stoploss = True
+
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        if current_profit < 0.04:
+            return -1 # return a value bigger than the inital stoploss to keep using the inital stoploss
+
+        # After reaching the desired offset, allow the stoploss to trail by half the profit
+        desired_stoploss = current_profit / 2 
+
+        # Use a minimum of 2.5% and a maximum of 5%
+        return max(min(desired_stoploss, 0.05), 0.025)
+```
+
+#### Absolute stoploss
+
+The below example sets absolute profit levels based on the current profit.
+
+* Use the regular stoploss until 20% profit is reached
+* Once profit is > 40%, stoploss will be at 25%, locking in at least 25% of the profit.
+* Once profit is > 25% - stoploss will be 15%.
+* Once profit is > 20% - stoploss will be set to 7%.
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    use_custom_stoploss = True

+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        # Calculate as `-desired_stop_from_open + current_profit` to get the distance between current_profit and initial price
+        if current_profit > 0.40:
+            return (-0.25 + current_profit)
+        if current_profit > 0.25:
+            return (-0.15 + current_profit)
+        if current_profit > 0.20:
+            return (-0.7 + current_profit)
+        return 1
+```

+## Embedding Strategies
+
+Freqtrade provides you with with an easy way to embed the strategy into your configuration file.
+This is done by utilizing BASE64 encoding and providing this string at the strategy configuration field,
+in your chosen config file.
+
+### Encoding a string as BASE64
+
+This is a quick example, how to generate the BASE64 string in python
+
+```python
+from base64 import urlsafe_b64encode
+
+with open(file, 'r') as f:
+    content = f.read()
+content = urlsafe_b64encode(content.encode('utf-8'))
+```
+
+The variable 'content', will contain the strategy file in a BASE64 encoded form. Which can now be set in your configurations file as following
+
+```json
+"strategy": "NameOfStrategy:BASE64String"
+```
+
+Please ensure that 'NameOfStrategy' is identical to the strategy name!
