+# Advanced Backtesting Analysis
+
+## Analyze the buy/entry and sell/exit tags
+
+It can be helpful to understand how a strategy behaves according to the buy/entry tags used to
+mark up different buy conditions. You might want to see more complex statistics about each buy and
+sell condition above those provided by the default backtesting output. You may also want to
+determine indicator values on the signal candle that resulted in a trade opening.
+
+!!! Note
+    The following buy reason analysis is only available for backtesting, *not hyperopt*.
+
+We need to run backtesting with the `--export` option set to `signals` to enable the exporting of
+signals **and** trades:
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade backtesting -c <config.json> --timeframe <tf> --strategy <strategy_name> --timerange=<timerange> --export=signals
+```
+
+This will tell freqtrade to output a pickled dictionary of strategy, pairs and corresponding
+DataFrame of the candles that resulted in buy signals. Depending on how many buys your strategy
+makes, this file may get quite large, so periodically check your `user_data/backtest_results`
+folder to delete old exports.
+
+Before running your next backtest, make sure you either delete your old backtest results or run
+backtesting with the `--cache none` option to make sure no cached results are used.
+
+If all goes well, you should now see a `backtest-result-{timestamp}_signals.pkl` file in the
+`user_data/backtest_results` folder.
+
+To analyze the entry/exit tags, we now need to use the `freqtrade backtesting-analysis` command
+with `--analysis-groups` option provided with space-separated arguments (default `0 1 2`):
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade backtesting-analysis -c <config.json> --analysis-groups 0 1 2 3 4
+```
+
+This command will read from the last backtesting results. The `--analysis-groups` option is
+used to specify the various tabular outputs showing the profit fo each group or trade,
+ranging from the simplest (0) to the most detailed per pair, per buy and per sell tag (4):
+
+* 1: profit summaries grouped by enter_tag
+* 2: profit summaries grouped by enter_tag and exit_tag
+* 3: profit summaries grouped by pair and enter_tag
+* 4: profit summaries grouped by pair, enter_ and exit_tag (this can get quite large)
+
+More options are available by running with the `-h` option.
+
+### Using export-filename
+
+Normally, `backtesting-analysis` uses the latest backtest results, but if you wanted to go
+back to a previous backtest output, you need to supply the `--export-filename` option.
+You can supply the same parameter to `backtest-analysis` with the name of the final backtest
+output file. This allows you to keep historical versions of backtest results and re-analyse
+them at a later date:
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade backtesting -c <config.json> --timeframe <tf> --strategy <strategy_name> --timerange=<timerange> --export=signals --export-filename=/tmp/mystrat_backtest.json
+```
+
+You should see some output similar to below in the logs with the name of the timestamped
+filename that was exported:
+
+```
+2022-06-14 16:28:32,698 - freqtrade.misc - INFO - dumping json to "/tmp/mystrat_backtest-2022-06-14_16-28-32.json"
+```
+
+You can then use that filename in `backtesting-analysis`:
+
+```
+freqtrade backtesting-analysis -c <config.json> --export-filename=/tmp/mystrat_backtest-2022-06-14_16-28-32.json
+```
+
+### Tuning the buy tags and sell tags to display
+
+To show only certain buy and sell tags in the displayed output, use the following two options:
+
+```
+--enter-reason-list : Space-separated list of enter signals to analyse. Default: "all"
+--exit-reason-list : Space-separated list of exit signals to analyse. Default: "all"
+```
+
+For example:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting-analysis -c <config.json> --analysis-groups 0 2 --enter-reason-list enter_tag_a enter_tag_b --exit-reason-list roi custom_exit_tag_a stop_loss
+```
+
+### Outputting signal candle indicators
+
+The real power of `freqtrade backtesting-analysis` comes from the ability to print out the indicator
+values present on signal candles to allow fine-grained investigation and tuning of buy signal
+indicators. To print out a column for a given set of indicators, use the `--indicator-list`
+option:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting-analysis -c <config.json> --analysis-groups 0 2 --enter-reason-list enter_tag_a enter_tag_b --exit-reason-list roi custom_exit_tag_a stop_loss --indicator-list rsi rsi_1h bb_lowerband ema_9 macd macdsignal

+## Overriding pre-defined spaces
+
+To override a pre-defined space (`roi_space`, `generate_roi_table`, `stoploss_space`, `trailing_space`), define a nested class called Hyperopt and define the required spaces as follows:
+
+```python
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    class HyperOpt:
+        # Define a custom stoploss space.
+        def stoploss_space():
+            return [SKDecimal(-0.05, -0.01, decimals=3, name='stoploss')]
+
+        # Define custom ROI space
+        def roi_space() -> List[Dimension]:
+            return [
+                Integer(10, 120, name='roi_t1'),
+                Integer(10, 60, name='roi_t2'),
+                Integer(10, 40, name='roi_t3'),
+                SKDecimal(0.01, 0.04, decimals=3, name='roi_p1'),
+                SKDecimal(0.01, 0.07, decimals=3, name='roi_p2'),
+                SKDecimal(0.01, 0.20, decimals=3, name='roi_p3'),
+            ]
+```
 
 !!! Note
-    Please keep the arguments `*args` and `**kwargs` in the interface to allow us to extend this interface later.
+    All overrides are optional and can be mixed/matched as necessary.
+
+### Dynamic parameters
+
+Parameters can also be defined dynamically, but must be available to the instance once the * [`bot_start()` callback](strategy-callbacks.md#bot-start) has been called.
+
+``` python
+
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    def bot_start(self, **kwargs) -> None:
+        self.buy_adx = IntParameter(20, 30, default=30, optimize=True)
+
+    # ...
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    Parameters created this way will not show up in the `list-strategies` parameter count.
+
+### Overriding Base estimator
+
+You can define your own estimator for Hyperopt by implementing `generate_estimator()` in the Hyperopt subclass.
+
+```python
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    class HyperOpt:
+        def generate_estimator(dimensions: List['Dimension'], **kwargs):
+            return "RF"
+
+```
+
+Possible values are either one of "GP", "RF", "ET", "GBRT" (Details can be found in the [scikit-optimize documentation](https://scikit-optimize.github.io/)), or "an instance of a class that inherits from `RegressorMixin` (from sklearn) and where the `predict` method has an optional `return_std` argument, which returns `std(Y | x)` along with `E[Y | x]`".
+
+Some research will be necessary to find additional Regressors.
+
+Example for `ExtraTreesRegressor` ("ET") with additional parameters:
+
+```python
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    class HyperOpt:
+        def generate_estimator(dimensions: List['Dimension'], **kwargs):
+            from skopt.learning import ExtraTreesRegressor
+            # Corresponds to "ET" - but allows additional parameters.
+            return ExtraTreesRegressor(n_estimators=100)
+
+```
+
+The `dimensions` parameter is the list of `skopt.space.Dimension` objects corresponding to the parameters to be optimized. It can be used to create isotropic kernels for the `skopt.learning.GaussianProcessRegressor` estimator. Here's an example:
+
+```python
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    class HyperOpt:
+        def generate_estimator(dimensions: List['Dimension'], **kwargs):
+            from skopt.utils import cook_estimator
+            from skopt.learning.gaussian_process.kernels import (Matern, ConstantKernel)
+            kernel_bounds = (0.0001, 10000)
+            kernel = (
+                ConstantKernel(1.0, kernel_bounds) * 
+                Matern(length_scale=np.ones(len(dimensions)), length_scale_bounds=[kernel_bounds for d in dimensions], nu=2.5)
+            )
+            kernel += (
+                ConstantKernel(1.0, kernel_bounds) * 
+                Matern(length_scale=np.ones(len(dimensions)), length_scale_bounds=[kernel_bounds for d in dimensions], nu=1.5)
+            )
+
+            return cook_estimator("GP", space=dimensions, kernel=kernel, n_restarts_optimizer=2)
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    While custom estimators can be provided, it's up to you as User to do research on possible parameters and analyze / understand which ones should be used.
+    If you're unsure about this, best use one of the Defaults (`"ET"` has proven to be the most versatile) without further parameters.
+
+## Space options
+
+For the additional spaces, scikit-optimize (in combination with Freqtrade) provides the following space types:
+
+* `Categorical` - Pick from a list of categories (e.g. `Categorical(['a', 'b', 'c'], name="cat")`)
+* `Integer` - Pick from a range of whole numbers (e.g. `Integer(1, 10, name='rsi')`)
+* `SKDecimal` - Pick from a range of decimal numbers with limited precision (e.g. `SKDecimal(0.1, 0.5, decimals=3, name='adx')`). *Available only with freqtrade*.
+* `Real` - Pick from a range of decimal numbers with full precision (e.g. `Real(0.1, 0.5, name='adx')`
+
+You can import all of these from `freqtrade.optimize.space`, although `Categorical`, `Integer` and `Real` are only aliases for their corresponding scikit-optimize Spaces. `SKDecimal` is provided by freqtrade for faster optimizations.
+
+``` python
+from freqtrade.optimize.space import Categorical, Dimension, Integer, SKDecimal, Real  # noqa
+```
+
+!!! Hint "SKDecimal vs. Real"
+    We recommend to use `SKDecimal` instead of the `Real` space in almost all cases. While the Real space provides full accuracy (up to ~16 decimal places) - this precision is rarely needed, and leads to unnecessary long hyperopt times.
+
+    Assuming the definition of a rather small space (`SKDecimal(0.10, 0.15, decimals=2, name='xxx')`) - SKDecimal will have 5 possibilities (`[0.10, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15]`).
+
+    A corresponding real space `Real(0.10, 0.15 name='xxx')`  on the other hand has an almost unlimited number of possibilities (`[0.10, 0.010000000001, 0.010000000002, ... 0.014999999999, 0.01500000000]`).

+## Running multiple instances of Freqtrade
+
+This section will show you how to run multiple bots at the same time, on the same machine.
+
+### Things to consider
+
+* Use different database files.
+* Use different Telegram bots (requires multiple different configuration files; applies only when Telegram is enabled).
+* Use different ports (applies only when Freqtrade REST API webserver is enabled).
+
+### Different database files
+
+In order to keep track of your trades, profits, etc., freqtrade is using a SQLite database where it stores various types of information such as the trades you performed in the past and the current position(s) you are holding at any time. This allows you to keep track of your profits, but most importantly, keep track of ongoing activity if the bot process would be restarted or would be terminated unexpectedly.
+
+Freqtrade will, by default, use separate database files for dry-run and live bots (this assumes no database-url is given in either configuration nor via command line argument).
+For live trading mode, the default database will be `tradesv3.sqlite` and for dry-run it will be `tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite`.
+
+The optional argument to the trade command used to specify the path of these files is `--db-url`, which requires a valid SQLAlchemy url.
+So when you are starting a bot with only the config and strategy arguments in dry-run mode, the following 2 commands would have the same outcome.
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade trade -c MyConfig.json -s MyStrategy
+# is equivalent to
+freqtrade trade -c MyConfig.json -s MyStrategy --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite
+```
+
+It means that if you are running the trade command in two different terminals, for example to test your strategy both for trades in USDT and in another instance for trades in BTC, you will have to run them with different databases.
+
+If you specify the URL of a database which does not exist, freqtrade will create one with the name you specified. So to test your custom strategy with BTC and USDT stake currencies, you could use the following commands (in 2 separate terminals):
+
+``` bash
+# Terminal 1:
+freqtrade trade -c MyConfigBTC.json -s MyCustomStrategy --db-url sqlite:///user_data/tradesBTC.dryrun.sqlite
+# Terminal 2:
+freqtrade trade -c MyConfigUSDT.json -s MyCustomStrategy --db-url sqlite:///user_data/tradesUSDT.dryrun.sqlite
+```
+
+Conversely, if you wish to do the same thing in production mode, you will also have to create at least one new database (in addition to the default one) and specify the path to the "live" databases, for example:
+
+``` bash
+# Terminal 1:
+freqtrade trade -c MyConfigBTC.json -s MyCustomStrategy --db-url sqlite:///user_data/tradesBTC.live.sqlite
+# Terminal 2:
+freqtrade trade -c MyConfigUSDT.json -s MyCustomStrategy --db-url sqlite:///user_data/tradesUSDT.live.sqlite
+```
+
+For more information regarding usage of the sqlite databases, for example to manually enter or remove trades, please refer to the [SQL Cheatsheet](sql_cheatsheet.md).
+
+### Multiple instances using docker
+
+To run multiple instances of freqtrade using docker you will need to edit the docker-compose.yml file and add all the instances you want as separate services. Remember, you can separate your configuration into multiple files, so it's a good idea to think about making them modular, then if you need to edit something common to all bots, you can do that in a single config file.

 ## Test your strategy with Backtesting

+real data. This is what we call [backtesting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backtesting).
 
-Backtesting will use the crypto-currencies (pairs) from your config file and load historical candle (OHCLV) data from `user_data/data/<exchange>` by default.
-If no data is available for the exchange / pair / timeframe (ticker interval) combination, backtesting will ask you to download them first using `freqtrade download-data`.
+Backtesting will use the crypto-currencies (pairs) from your config file and load historical candle (OHLCV) data from `user_data/data/<exchange>` by default.
+If no data is available for the exchange / pair / timeframe combination, backtesting will ask you to download them first using `freqtrade download-data`.
 For details on downloading, please refer to the [Data Downloading](data-download.md) section in the documentation.
 
 The result of backtesting will confirm if your bot has better odds of making a profit than a loss.
 
-!!! Tip "Using dynamic pairlists for backtesting"
-    While using dynamic pairlists during backtesting is not possible, a dynamic pairlist using current data can be generated via the [`test-pairlist`](utils.md#test-pairlist) command, and needs to be specified as `"pair_whitelist"` attribute in the configuration.
+All profit calculations include fees, and freqtrade will use the exchange's default fees for the calculation.
 
-### Run a backtesting against the currencies listed in your config file
+!!! Warning "Using dynamic pairlists for backtesting"
+    Using dynamic pairlists is possible (not all of the handlers are allowed to be used in backtest mode), however it relies on the current market conditions - which will not reflect the historic status of the pairlist.
+    Also, when using pairlists other than StaticPairlist, reproducibility of backtesting-results cannot be guaranteed.
+    Please read the [pairlists documentation](plugins.md#pairlists) for more information.
 
-#### With 5 min candle (OHLCV) data (per default)
+    To achieve reproducible results, best generate a pairlist via the [`test-pairlist`](utils.md#test-pairlist) command and use that as static pairlist.
+
+!!! Note
+    By default, Freqtrade will export backtesting results to `user_data/backtest_results`.
+    The exported trades can be used for [further analysis](#further-backtest-result-analysis) or can be used by the [plotting sub-command](plotting.md#plot-price-and-indicators) (`freqtrade plot-dataframe`) in the scripts directory.
+
+
+### Starting balance
+
+Backtesting will require a starting balance, which can be provided as `--dry-run-wallet <balance>` or `--starting-balance <balance>` command line argument, or via `dry_run_wallet` configuration setting.
+This amount must be higher than `stake_amount`, otherwise the bot will not be able to simulate any trade.
+
+### Dynamic stake amount
+
+Backtesting supports [dynamic stake amount](configuration.md#dynamic-stake-amount) by configuring `stake_amount` as `"unlimited"`, which will split the starting balance into `max_open_trades` pieces.
+Profits from early trades will result in subsequent higher stake amounts, resulting in compounding of profits over the backtesting period.
+
+### Example backtesting commands
+
+With 5 min candle (OHLCV) data (per default)
 
 ```bash
-freqtrade backtesting
+freqtrade backtesting --strategy AwesomeStrategy
 ```
 
-#### With 1 min candle (OHLCV) data
+Where `--strategy AwesomeStrategy` / `-s AwesomeStrategy` refers to the class name of the strategy, which is within a python file in the `user_data/strategies` directory.
+
+---
+
+With 1 min candle (OHLCV) data
 
 ```bash
-freqtrade backtesting --ticker-interval 1m
+freqtrade backtesting --strategy AwesomeStrategy --timeframe 1m
 ```
 
-#### Using a different on-disk historical candle (OHLCV) data source
+---
+
+Providing a custom starting balance of 1000 (in stake currency)
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting --strategy AwesomeStrategy --dry-run-wallet 1000

+
+Using a different on-disk historical candle (OHLCV) data source
 
 Assume you downloaded the history data from the Bittrex exchange and kept it in the `user_data/data/bittrex-20180101` directory. 
 You can then use this data for backtesting as follows:
 
 ```bash
-freqtrade --datadir user_data/data/bittrex-20180101 backtesting
+freqtrade backtesting --strategy AwesomeStrategy --datadir user_data/data/bittrex-20180101 
 ```
 
-#### With a (custom) strategy file
+---
+
+Comparing multiple Strategies
 
 ```bash
-freqtrade backtesting -s SampleStrategy
-```
-
-Where `-s SampleStrategy` refers to the class name within the strategy file `sample_strategy.py` found in the `freqtrade/user_data/strategies` directory.
-
-#### Comparing multiple Strategies
-
-```bash
-freqtrade backtesting --strategy-list SampleStrategy1 AwesomeStrategy --ticker-interval 5m
+freqtrade backtesting --strategy-list SampleStrategy1 AwesomeStrategy --timeframe 5m
 ```
 
 Where `SampleStrategy1` and `AwesomeStrategy` refer to class names of strategies.
 
-#### Exporting trades to file
+---
+
+Prevent exporting trades to file
 
 ```bash
-freqtrade backtesting --export trades
+freqtrade backtesting --strategy backtesting --export none --config config.json 
 ```
 
-The exported trades can be used for [further analysis](#further-backtest-result-analysis), or can be used by the plotting script `plot_dataframe.py` in the scripts directory.
+Only use this if you're sure you'll not want to plot or analyze your results further.

+### Backtesting report table
+
 The 1st table contains all trades the bot made, including "left open trades".
 
-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.
-These trades are also included in the first table, but are extracted separately for clarity.
-
 The last line will give you the overall performance of your strategy,
 here:
 
 ```
-| TOTAL    |         429 |           0.36 |         152.41 |       0.00762792 |          76.20 | 4:12:00        |      186 |    243 |
+| TOTAL    |    429 |           0.36 |         152.41 |       0.00762792 |          76.20 | 4:12:00      |   186     0   243   43.4 |
 ```
 
 The bot has made `429` trades for an average duration of `4:12:00`, with a performance of `76.20%` (profit), that means it has
 earned a total of `0.00762792 BTC` starting with a capital of 0.01 BTC.
 
-The column `avg profit %` shows the average profit for all trades made while the column `cum profit %` sums up all the profits/losses.
-The column `tot profit %` shows instead the total profit % in relation to allocated capital (`max_open_trades * stake_amount`).
-In the above results we have `max_open_trades=2` and `stake_amount=0.005` in config  so `tot_profit %` will be `(76.20/100) * (0.005 * 2) =~ 0.00762792 BTC`.
+The column `Avg Profit %` shows the average profit for all trades made while the column `Cum Profit %` sums up all the profits/losses.
+The column `Tot Profit %` shows instead the total profit % in relation to the starting balance.
+In the above results, we have a starting balance of 0.01 BTC and an absolute profit of 0.00762792 BTC - so the `Tot Profit %` will be `(0.00762792 / 0.01) * 100 ~= 76.2%`.
 
-Your strategy performance is influenced by your buy strategy, your sell strategy, and also by the `minimal_roi` and `stop_loss` you have set.
+Your strategy performance is influenced by your buy strategy, your exit strategy, and also by the `minimal_roi` and `stop_loss` you have set.
 
-For example, if your `minimal_roi` is only `"0":  0.01` you cannot expect the bot to make more profit than 1% (because it will sell every time a trade reaches 1%).
+For example, if your `minimal_roi` is only `"0":  0.01` you cannot expect the bot to make more profit than 1% (because it will exit every time a trade reaches 1%).
 
 ```json
 "minimal_roi": {
@@ -192,44 +370,215 @@ On the other hand, if you set a too high `minimal_roi` like `"0":  0.55`
 (55%), there is almost no chance that the bot will ever reach this profit.
 Hence, keep in mind that your performance is an integral mix of all different elements of the strategy, your configuration, and the crypto-currency pairs you have set up.
 
-### Assumptions made by backtesting
+### Exit reasons table
+
+The 2nd table contains a recap of exit reasons.
+This table can tell you which area needs some additional work (e.g. all or many of the `exit_signal` trades are losses, so you should work on improving the exit signal, or consider disabling it).
+
+### Left open trades table
+
+The 3rd table contains all trades the bot had to `force_exit` at the end of the backtesting period to present you the full picture.
+This is necessary to simulate realistic behavior, since the backtest period has to end at some point, while realistically, you could leave the bot running forever.
+These trades are also included in the first table, but are also shown separately in this table for clarity.
+
+### Summary metrics
+
+The last element of the backtest report is the summary metrics table.
+It contains some useful key metrics about performance of your strategy on backtesting data.

+
+To visualize daily and weekly breakdowns, you can use the following:
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade backtesting --strategy MyAwesomeStrategy --breakdown day week
+```
+
+``` output

+
+The output will show a table containing the realized absolute Profit (in stake currency) for the given timeperiod, as well as wins, draws and losses that materialized (closed) on this day. Below that there will be a second table for the summarized values of weeks indicated by the date of the closing Sunday. The same would apply to a monthly breakdown indicated by the last day of the month.
+
+### Backtest result caching
+
+To save time, by default backtest will reuse a cached result from within the last day when the backtested strategy and config match that of a previous backtest. To force a new backtest despite existing result for an identical run specify `--cache none` parameter.
+
+!!! Warning
+    Caching is automatically disabled for open-ended timeranges (`--timerange 20210101-`), as freqtrade cannot ensure reliably that the underlying data didn't change. It can also use cached results where it shouldn't if the original backtest had missing data at the end, which was fixed by downloading more data.
+    In this instance, please use `--cache none` once to force a fresh backtest.
+
+### Further backtest-result analysis
+
+To further analyze your backtest results, you can [export the trades](#exporting-trades-to-file).
+You can then load the trades to perform further analysis as shown in the [data analysis](data-analysis.md#backtesting) backtesting section.
+
+## Assumptions made by backtesting
 
 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
-- Low happens before high for stoploss, protecting capital first.
+- All orders are filled at the requested price (no slippage, no unfilled orders)
+- Exit-signal exits happen at open-price of the consecutive candle
+- Exit-signal is favored over Stoploss, because exit-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
+  - exits are compared to high - but the ROI value is used (e.g. ROI = 2%, high=5% - so the exit will be at 2%)
+  - exits are never "below the candle", so a ROI of 2% may result in a exit at 2.4% if low was at 2.4% profit
+  - Forceexits caused by `<N>=-1` ROI entries use low as exit value, unless N falls on the candle open (e.g. `120: -1` for 1h candles)
+- Stoploss exits 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` exit 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
+  - Trailing Stoploss is only adjusted if it's below the candle's low (otherwise it would be triggered)
+  - On trade entry candles that trigger trailing stoploss, the "minimum offset" (`stop_positive_offset`) is assumed (instead of high) - and the stop is calculated from this point
   - High happens first - adjusting stoploss
-  - Low uses the adjusted stoploss (so sells with large high-low difference are backtested correctly)
-- 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)
+  - Low uses the adjusted stoploss (so exits 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
+- Exit-reason does not explain if a trade was positive or negative, just what triggered the exit (this can look odd if negative ROI values are used)
+- Evaluation sequence (if multiple signals happen on the same candle)
+  - Exit-signal
+  - Stoploss
+  - ROI
+  - Trailing 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.
 
 In addition to the above assumptions, strategy authors should carefully read the [Common Mistakes](strategy-customization.md#common-mistakes-when-developing-strategies) section, to avoid using data in backtesting which is not available in real market conditions.
 
-### Further backtest-result analysis
+### Improved backtest accuracy
 
-To further analyze your backtest results, you can [export the trades](#exporting-trades-to-file).
-You can then load the trades to perform further analysis as shown in our [data analysis](data-analysis.md#backtesting) backtesting section.
+One big limitation of backtesting is it's inability to know how prices moved intra-candle (was high before close, or viceversa?).
+So assuming you run backtesting with a 1h timeframe, there will be 4 prices for that candle (Open, High, Low, Close).
+
+While backtesting does take some assumptions (read above) about this - this can never be perfect, and will always be biased in one way or the other.
+To mitigate this, freqtrade can use a lower (faster) timeframe to simulate intra-candle movements.
+
+To utilize this, you can append `--timeframe-detail 5m` to your regular backtesting command.
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade backtesting --strategy AwesomeStrategy --timeframe 1h --timeframe-detail 5m
+```
+
+This will load 1h data as well as 5m data for the timeframe. The strategy will be analyzed with the 1h timeframe - and for every "open trade candle" (candles where a trade is open) the 5m data will be used to simulate intra-candle movements.
+All callback functions (`custom_exit()`, `custom_stoploss()`, ... ) will be running for each 5m candle once the trade is opened (so 12 times in the above example of 1h timeframe, and 5m detailed timeframe).
+
+`--timeframe-detail` must be smaller than the original timeframe, otherwise backtesting will fail to start.
+
+Obviously this will require more memory (5m data is bigger than 1h data), and will also impact runtime (depending on the amount of trades and trade durations).
+Also, data must be available / downloaded already.
+
+!!! Tip
+    You can use this function as the last part of strategy development, to ensure your strategy is not exploiting one of the [backtesting assumptions](#assumptions-made-by-backtesting). Strategies that perform similarly well with this mode have a good chance to perform well in dry/live modes too (although only forward-testing (dry-mode) can really confirm a strategy).

+# Freqtrade basics
+
+This page provides you some basic concepts on how Freqtrade works and operates.
+
+## Freqtrade terminology
+
+* **Strategy**: Your trading strategy, telling the bot what to do.
+* **Trade**: Open position.
+* **Open Order**: Order which is currently placed on the exchange, and is not yet complete.
+* **Pair**: Tradable pair, usually in the format of Base/Quote (e.g. XRP/USDT).
+* **Timeframe**: Candle length to use (e.g. `"5m"`, `"1h"`, ...).
+* **Indicators**: Technical indicators (SMA, EMA, RSI, ...).
+* **Limit order**: Limit orders which execute at the defined limit price or better.
+* **Market order**: Guaranteed to fill, may move price depending on the order size.
+
+## Fee handling
+
+All profit calculations of Freqtrade include fees. For Backtesting / Hyperopt / Dry-run modes, the exchange default fee is used (lowest tier on the exchange). For live operations, fees are used as applied by the exchange (this includes BNB rebates etc.).
+
+## Bot execution logic
+
+Starting freqtrade in dry-run or live mode (using `freqtrade trade`) will start the bot and start the bot iteration loop.
+By default, loop runs every few seconds (`internals.process_throttle_secs`) and does roughly the following in the following sequence:
+
+* Fetch open trades from persistence.
+* Calculate current list of tradable pairs.
+* Download OHLCV data for the pairlist including all [informative pairs](strategy-customization.md#get-data-for-non-tradeable-pairs)  
+  This step is only executed once per Candle to avoid unnecessary network traffic.
+* Call `bot_loop_start()` strategy callback.
+* Analyze strategy per pair.
+  * Call `populate_indicators()`
+  * Call `populate_entry_trend()`
+  * Call `populate_exit_trend()`
+* Check timeouts for open orders.
+  * Calls `check_entry_timeout()` strategy callback for open entry orders.
+  * Calls `check_exit_timeout()` strategy callback for open exit orders.
+  * Calls `adjust_entry_price()` strategy callback for open entry orders.
+* Verifies existing positions and eventually places exit orders.
+  * Considers stoploss, ROI and exit-signal, `custom_exit()` and `custom_stoploss()`.
+  * Determine exit-price based on `exit_pricing` configuration setting or by using the `custom_exit_price()` callback.
+  * Before a exit order is placed, `confirm_trade_exit()` strategy callback is called.
+* Check position adjustments for open trades if enabled by calling `adjust_trade_position()` and place additional order if required.
+* Check if trade-slots are still available (if `max_open_trades` is reached).
+* Verifies entry signal trying to enter new positions.
+  * Determine entry-price based on `entry_pricing` configuration setting, or by using the `custom_entry_price()` callback.
+  * In Margin and Futures mode, `leverage()` strategy callback is called to determine the desired leverage.
+  * Determine stake size by calling the `custom_stake_amount()` callback.
+  * Before an entry order is placed, `confirm_trade_entry()` strategy callback is called.
+
+This loop will be repeated again and again until the bot is stopped.
+
+## Backtesting / Hyperopt execution logic
+
+[backtesting](backtesting.md) or [hyperopt](hyperopt.md) do only part of the above logic, since most of the trading operations are fully simulated.
+
+* Load historic data for configured pairlist.
+* Calls `bot_loop_start()` once.
+* Calculate indicators (calls `populate_indicators()` once per pair).
+* Calculate entry / exit signals (calls `populate_entry_trend()` and `populate_exit_trend()` once per pair).
+* Loops per candle simulating entry and exit points.
+  * Check for Order timeouts, either via the `unfilledtimeout` configuration, or via `check_entry_timeout()` / `check_exit_timeout()` strategy callbacks.
+  * Calls `adjust_entry_price()` strategy callback for open entry orders.
+  * Check for trade entry signals (`enter_long` / `enter_short` columns).
+  * Confirm trade entry / exits (calls `confirm_trade_entry()` and `confirm_trade_exit()` if implemented in the strategy).
+  * Call `custom_entry_price()` (if implemented in the strategy) to determine entry price (Prices are moved to be within the opening candle).
+  * In Margin and Futures mode, `leverage()` strategy callback is called to determine the desired leverage.
+  * Determine stake size by calling the `custom_stake_amount()` callback.
+  * Check position adjustments for open trades if enabled and call `adjust_trade_position()` to determine if an additional order is requested.
+  * Call `custom_stoploss()` and `custom_exit()` to find custom exit points.
+  * For exits based on exit-signal and custom-exit: Call `custom_exit_price()` to determine exit price (Prices are moved to be within the closing candle).
+* Generate backtest report output
+
+!!! Note
+    Both Backtesting and Hyperopt include exchange default Fees in the calculation. Custom fees can be passed to backtesting / hyperopt by specifying the `--fee` argument.

+You can run this server using the following command: `docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose-jupyter.yml up`
+
+This will create a dockercontainer running jupyter lab, which will be accessible using `https://127.0.0.1:8888/lab`.
+Please use the link that's printed in the console after startup for simplified login.

 * See [jupyter.org](https://jupyter.org/documentation) for usage instructions.
 * Don't forget to start a Jupyter notebook server from within your conda or venv environment or use [nb_conda_kernels](https://github.com/Anaconda-Platform/nb_conda_kernels)*

-### Data format
-
-Freqtrade currently supports 2 dataformats, `json` (plain "text" json files) and `jsongz` (a gzipped version of json files).
-By default, OHLCV data is stored as `json` data, while trades data is stored as `jsongz` data.
-
-This can be changed via the `--data-format-ohlcv` and `--data-format-trades` parameters respectivly.
-
-If the default dataformat has been changed during download, then the keys `dataformat_ohlcv` and `dataformat_trades` in the configuration file need to be adjusted to the selected dataformat as well.
-
-!!! Note
-    You can convert between data-formats using the [convert-data](#subcommand-convert-data) and [convert-trade-data](#subcommand-convert-trade-data) methods.

 In alternative to the whitelist from `config.json`, a `pairs.json` file can be used.

+- To change the exchange used to download the historical data from, please use a different configuration file (you'll probably need to adjust rate limits etc.)
 - To use `pairs.json` from some other directory, use `--pairs-file some_other_dir/pairs.json`.
 - To download historical candle (OHLCV) data for only 10 days, use `--days 10` (defaults to 30 days).
+- To download historical candle (OHLCV) data from a fixed starting point, use `--timerange 20200101-` - which will download all data from January 1st, 2020.
 - Use `--timeframes` to specify what timeframe download the historical candle (OHLCV) data for. Default is `--timeframes 1m 5m` which will download 1-minute and 5-minute data.
 - To use exchange, timeframe and list of pairs as defined in your configuration file, use the `-c/--config` option. With this, the script uses the whitelist defined in the config as the list of currency pairs to download data for and does not require the pairs.json file. You can combine `-c/--config` with most other options.
 
+#### Download additional data before the current timerange
+
+Assuming you downloaded all data from 2022 (`--timerange 20220101-`) - but you'd now like to also backtest with earlier data.
+You can do so by using the `--prepend` flag, combined with `--timerange` - specifying an end-date.
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs ETH/USDT XRP/USDT BTC/USDT --prepend --timerange 20210101-20220101
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    Freqtrade will ignore the end-date in this mode if data is available, updating the end-date to the existing data start point.
+
+### Data format
+
+Freqtrade currently supports 3 data-formats for both OHLCV and trades data:
+
+* `json` (plain "text" json files)
+* `jsongz` (a gzip-zipped version of json files)
+* `hdf5` (a high performance datastore)
+
+By default, OHLCV data is stored as `json` data, while trades data is stored as `jsongz` data.
+
+This can be changed via the `--data-format-ohlcv` and `--data-format-trades` command line arguments respectively.
+To persist this change, you can should also add the following snippet to your configuration, so you don't have to insert the above arguments each time:
+
+``` jsonc
+    // ...
+    "dataformat_ohlcv": "hdf5",
+    "dataformat_trades": "hdf5",
+    // ...
+```
+
+If the default data-format has been changed during download, then the keys `dataformat_ohlcv` and `dataformat_trades` in the configuration file need to be adjusted to the selected dataformat as well.
+
+!!! Note
+    You can convert between data-formats using the [convert-data](#sub-command-convert-data) and [convert-trade-data](#sub-command-convert-trade-data) methods.

+##### Example converting trades
+
+The following command will convert all available trade-data in `~/.freqtrade/data/kraken` from jsongz to json.
+It'll also remove original jsongz data files (`--erase` parameter).
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade convert-trade-data --format-from jsongz --format-to json --datadir ~/.freqtrade/data/kraken --erase
+```
+
+### Sub-command trades to ohlcv
+
+When you need to use `--dl-trades` (kraken only) to download data, conversion of trades data to ohlcv data is the last step.
+This command will allow you to repeat this last step for additional timeframes without re-downloading the data.

+By default, `download-data` sub-command downloads Candles (OHLCV) data. Some exchanges also provide historic trade-data via their API.
 This data can be useful if you need many different timeframes, since it is only downloaded once, and then resampled locally to the desired timeframes.
 
 Since this data is large by default, the files use gzip by default. They are stored in your data-directory with the naming convention of `<pair>-trades.json.gz` (`ETH_BTC-trades.json.gz`). Incremental mode is also supported, as for historic OHLCV data, so downloading the data once per week with `--days 8` will create an incremental data-repository.
 
 To use this mode, simply add `--dl-trades` to your call. This will swap the download method to download trades, and resamples the data locally.
 
+!!! Warning "do not use"
+    You should not use this unless you're a kraken user. Most other exchanges provide OHLCV data with sufficient history.
+
 Example call:
 
 ```bash
-freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs XRP/ETH ETH/BTC --days 20 --dl-trades
+freqtrade download-data --exchange kraken --pairs XRP/EUR ETH/EUR --days 20 --dl-trades

 #### Pairlist configuration
 
-Configuration for PairListProvider is done in the bot configuration file in the element `"pairlist"`.
-This Pairlist-object may contain configurations with additional configurations for the configured pairlist.
-By convention, `"number_assets"` is used to specify the maximum number of pairs to keep in the whitelist. Please follow this to ensure a consistent user experience.

+
+#### gen_pairlist
+
+Override this method if the Pairlist Handler can be used as the leading Pairlist Handler in the chain, defining the initial pairlist which is then handled by all Pairlist Handlers in the chain. Examples are `StaticPairList` and `VolumePairList`.
+
+This is called with each iteration of the bot (only if the Pairlist Handler is at the first location) - so consider implementing caching for compute/network heavy calculations.
+
+It must return the resulting pairlist (which may then be passed into the chain of Pairlist Handlers).
+
+Validations are optional, the parent class exposes a `_verify_blacklist(pairlist)` and `_whitelist_for_active_markets(pairlist)` to do default filtering. Use this if you limit your result to a certain number of pairs - so the end-result is not shorter than expected.

-This is a simple method used by `VolumePairList` - however serves as a good example.
-In VolumePairList, this implements different methods of sorting, does early validation so only the expected number of pairs is returned.
+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 object, 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
+* lock_side - long, short or '*'.
+
+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 (exit 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 (exit 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()`.

 ## Implement a new Exchange (WIP)
 
 !!! Note
     This section is a Work in Progress and is not a complete guide on how to test a new exchange with Freqtrade.
 
+!!! Note
+    Make sure to use an up-to-date version of CCXT before running any of the below tests.
+    You can get the latest version of ccxt by running `pip install -U ccxt` with activated virtual environment.
+    Native docker is not supported for these tests, however the available dev-container will support all required actions and eventually necessary changes.
+
 Most exchanges supported by CCXT should work out of the box.
 
+To quickly test the public endpoints of an exchange, add a configuration for your exchange to `test_ccxt_compat.py` and run these tests with `pytest --longrun tests/exchange/test_ccxt_compat.py`.
+Completing these tests successfully a good basis point (it's a requirement, actually), however these won't guarantee correct exchange functioning, as this only tests public endpoints, but no private endpoint (like generate order or similar).
+
+Also try to use `freqtrade download-data` for an extended timerange (multiple months) and verify that the data downloaded correctly (no holes, the specified timerange was actually downloaded).
+
+These are prerequisites to have an exchange listed as either Supported or Community tested (listed on the homepage).
+The below are "extras", which will make an exchange better (feature-complete) - but are not absolutely necessary for either of the 2 categories.
+
+Additional tests / steps to complete:
+
+* Verify data provided by `fetch_ohlcv()` - and eventually adjust `ohlcv_candle_limit` for this exchange
+* Check L2 orderbook limit range (API documentation) - and eventually set as necessary
+* Check if balance shows correctly (*)
+* Create market order (*)
+* Create limit order (*)
+* Complete trade (enter + exit) (*)
+  * Compare result calculation between exchange and bot
+  * Ensure fees are applied correctly (check the database against the exchange)
+
+(*) Requires API keys and Balance on the exchange.
+
 ### Stoploss On Exchange
 
 Check if the new exchange supports Stoploss on Exchange orders through their API.
 
-Since CCXT does not provide unification for Stoploss On Exchange yet, we'll need to implement the exchange-specific parameters ourselfs. Best look at `binance.py` for an example implementation of this. You'll need to dig through the documentation of the Exchange's API on how exactly this can be done. [CCXT Issues](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/issues) may also provide great help, since others may have implemented something similar for their projects.

-# Using Freqtrade with Docker
-
-## Install Docker
-
-Start by downloading and installing Docker CE for your platform:
-
-* [Mac](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/)
-* [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.
-
-## 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.
-
-## Freqtrade with docker without docker-compose
-
-!!! Warning
-    The below documentation is provided for completeness and assumes that you are somewhat familiar with running docker containers. If you're just starting out with docker, we recommend to follow the [Freqtrade with docker-compose](#freqtrade-with-docker-compose) instructions.
-
-### Download the official Freqtrade docker image
-
-Pull the image from docker hub.
-
-Branches / tags available can be checked out on [Dockerhub tags page](https://hub.docker.com/r/freqtradeorg/freqtrade/tags/).
-
-```bash
-docker pull freqtradeorg/freqtrade:develop
-# Optionally tag the repository so the run-commands remain shorter
-docker tag freqtradeorg/freqtrade:develop freqtrade
-```
-
-To update the image, simply run the above commands again and restart your running container.
-
-Should you require additional libraries, please [build the image yourself](#build-your-own-docker-image).
-
-!!! Note "Docker image update frequency"
-    The official docker images with tags `master`, `develop` and `latest` are automatically rebuild once a week to keep the base image uptodate.
-    In addition to that, every merge to `develop` will trigger a rebuild for `develop` and `latest`.
-
-### Prepare the configuration files
-
-Even though you will use docker, you'll still need some files from the github repository.
-
-#### Clone the git repository
-
-Linux/Mac/Windows with WSL
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
-```
-
-Windows with docker
-
-```bash
-git clone --config core.autocrlf=input https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
-```
-
-#### Copy `config.json.example` to `config.json`
-
-```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
-
-Production
-
-```bash
-touch tradesv3.sqlite
-````
-
-Dry-Run
-
-```bash
-touch tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite
-```
-
-!!! Note
-    Make sure to use the path to this 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/Dockerfile.technical) which adds the [technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/technical) module to the image.
-
-```bash
-docker build -t freqtrade -f Dockerfile.technical .
-```
-
-If you are developing using Docker, use `Dockerfile.develop` to build a dev Docker image, which will also set up develop dependencies:
-
-```bash
-docker build -f Dockerfile.develop -t freqtrade-dev .
-```
-
-!!! Note
-    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 the "5. Run a restartable docker image" section) 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 will refresh your image.
-
-#### Adjust timezone
-
-By default, the container will use UTC timezone.
-Should you find this irritating please add the following to your docker 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
-
-There is known issue in OSX Docker versions after 17.09.1, whereby `/etc/localtime` cannot be shared causing Docker to not start. A work-around for this is to start with the following cmd.
-
-```bash
-docker run --rm -e TZ=`ls -la /etc/localtime | cut -d/ -f8-9` -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
-```
-
-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).
-
-#### 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
-```
-
-#### 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).

+    You can also change the both Strategy and commands by editing the command section of your `docker-compose.yml` file.
+
+#### Adding a custom strategy
+
+1. The configuration is now available as `user_data/config.json`
+2. Copy a custom strategy to the directory `user_data/strategies/`
+3. Add the Strategy' class name to the `docker-compose.yml` file
+
+The `SampleStrategy` is run by default.
+
+!!! Danger "`SampleStrategy` is just a demo!"
+    The `SampleStrategy` is there for your reference and give you ideas for your own strategy.
+    Please always backtest your strategy and use dry-run for some time before risking real money!
+    You will find more information about Strategy development in the [Strategy documentation](strategy-customization.md).
+
+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
+```
+
+!!! Warning "Default configuration"
+    While the configuration generated will be mostly functional, you will still need to verify that all options correspond to what you want (like Pricing, pairlist, ...) before starting the bot.
+
+#### Accessing the UI
+
+If you've selected to enable FreqUI in the `new-config` step, you will have freqUI available at port `localhost:8080`.
+
+You can now access the UI by typing localhost:8080 in your browser.
+
+??? Note "UI Access on a remote servers"
+    If you're running on a VPS, you should consider using either a ssh tunnel, or setup a VPN (openVPN, wireguard) to connect to your bot.
+    This will ensure that freqUI is not directly exposed to the internet, which is not recommended for security reasons (freqUI does not support https out of the box).
+    Setup of these tools is not part of this tutorial, however many good tutorials can be found on the internet.
+    Please also read the [API configuration with docker](rest-api.md#configuration-with-docker) section to learn more about this configuration.
+
+#### Monitoring the bot
+
+You can check for running instances with `docker-compose ps`.
+This should list the service `freqtrade` as `running`. If that's not the case, best check the logs (see next point).
+
+#### Docker-compose logs
+
+Logs will be written to: `user_data/logs/freqtrade.log`.  
+You can also check the latest log with the command `docker-compose logs -f`.
+
+#### Database
+
+The database will be located at: `user_data/tradesv3.sqlite`
+
+#### Updating freqtrade with docker-compose
+
+Updating 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.
+
+!!! Warning "Check the Changelog"
+    You should always check the changelog for breaking changes / manual interventions required and make sure the bot starts correctly after the update.
+
+### Editing the docker-compose file
+
+Advanced users may edit the docker-compose file further to include all possible options or arguments.
+
+All freqtrade arguments will be available by running `docker-compose run --rm freqtrade <command> <optional arguments>`.
+
+!!! Warning "`docker-compose` for trade commands"
+    Trade commands (`freqtrade trade <...>`) should not be ran via `docker-compose run` - but should use `docker-compose up -d` instead.
+    This makes sure that the container is properly started (including port forwardings) and will make sure that the container will restart after a system reboot.
+    If you intend to use freqUI, please also ensure to adjust the [configuration accordingly](rest-api.md#configuration-with-docker), otherwise the UI will not be available.
+
+!!! Note "`docker-compose run --rm`"
+    Including `--rm` will remove the container after completion, and is highly recommended for all modes except trading mode (running with `freqtrade trade` command).
+
+??? Note "Using docker without docker-compose"
+    "`docker-compose run --rm`" will require a compose file to be provided.
+    Some freqtrade commands that don't require authentication such as `list-pairs` can be run with "`docker run --rm`" instead.  
+    For example `docker run --rm freqtradeorg/freqtrade:stable list-pairs --exchange binance --quote BTC --print-json`.  
+    This can be useful for fetching exchange information to add to your `config.json` without affecting your running containers.
+
+#### 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 - 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 [docker/Dockerfile.custom](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docker/Dockerfile.custom) 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 --pull` to build the docker image, and run it using the commands described above.
+
+### Plotting with docker-compose
+
+Commands `freqtrade plot-profit` and `freqtrade plot-dataframe` ([Documentation](plotting.md)) are available by changing the image to `*_plot` in your docker-compose.yml file.
+You can then use these commands as follows:
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose run --rm freqtrade plot-dataframe --strategy AwesomeStrategy -p BTC/ETH --timerange=20180801-20180805
+```
+
+The output will be stored in the `user_data/plot` directory, and can be opened with any modern browser.
+
+### Data analysis using docker compose
+
+Freqtrade provides a docker-compose file which starts up a jupyter lab server.
+You can run this server using the following command:
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose-jupyter.yml up
+```
+
+This will create a docker-container running jupyter lab, which will be accessible using `https://127.0.0.1:8888/lab`.
+Please use the link that's printed in the console after startup for simplified login.
+
+Since part of this image is built on your machine, it is recommended to rebuild the image from time to time to keep freqtrade (and dependencies) up-to-date.
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose-jupyter.yml build --no-cache
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Docker on Windows
+
+* Error: `"Timestamp for this request is outside of the recvWindow."`
+  * The market api requests require a synchronized clock but the time in the docker container shifts a bit over time into the past.
+    To fix this issue temporarily you need to run `wsl --shutdown` and restart docker again (a popup on windows 10 will ask you to do so).
+    A permanent solution is either to host the docker container on a linux host or restart the wsl from time to time with the scheduler.
+
+    ``` bash
+    taskkill /IM "Docker Desktop.exe" /F
+    wsl --shutdown
+    start "" "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Docker Desktop.exe"
+    ```
+
+!!! Warning
+    Due to the above, we do not recommend the usage of docker on windows for production setups, but only for experimentation, datadownload and backtesting.
+    Best use a linux-VPS for running freqtrade reliably.

 # Edge positioning
 
-This page explains how to use Edge Positioning module in your bot in order to enter into a trade only if the trade has a reasonable win rate and risk reward ratio, and consequently adjust your position size and stoploss.
+The `Edge Positioning` module uses probability to calculate your win rate and risk reward ratio. It will use these statistics to control your strategy trade entry points, position size and, stoploss.
 
 !!! Warning
-    Edge positioning is not compatible with dynamic (volume-based) whitelist.
+    When using `Edge positioning` with a dynamic whitelist (VolumePairList), make sure to also use `AgeFilter` and set it to at least `calculate_since_number_of_days` to avoid problems with missing data.
 
 !!! Note
-    Edge does not consider anything else than buy/sell/stoploss signals. So trailing stoploss, ROI, and everything else are ignored in its calculation.
+    `Edge Positioning` only considers *its own* buy/sell/stoploss signals. It ignores the stoploss, trailing stoploss, and ROI settings in the strategy configuration file.
+    `Edge Positioning` improves the performance of some trading strategies and *decreases* the performance of others.

 ## 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.
+Trading strategies are not perfect. They are frameworks that are susceptible to the market and its indicators. Because the market is not at all predictable, sometimes a strategy will win and sometimes the same strategy will 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?
+To obtain an edge in the market, a strategy has to make more money than it loses. Making money in trading is not only about *how often* the strategy makes or loses money.
 
-But let's say the probability that we have heads is 80% (because our coin has the displaced distribution of mass or other defect), and the probability that we have tails is 20%. Now it is becoming interesting...
+!!! tip "It doesn't matter how often, but how much!"
+    A bad strategy might make 1 penny in *ten* transactions but lose 1 dollar in *one* transaction. If one only checks the number of winning trades, it would be misleading to think that the strategy is actually making a profit.
 
-That means 10$ X 80% versus 10$ X 20%. 8$ versus 2$. That means over time you will win 8$ risking only 2$ on each toss of coin.
+The Edge Positioning module seeks to improve a strategy's winning probability and the money that the strategy will make *on the long run*. 
 
-Let's complicate it more: you win 80% of the time but only 2$, I win 20% of the time but 8$. The calculation is: 80% X 2$ versus 20% X 8$. It is becoming boring again because overtime you win $1.6$ (80% X 2$) and me $1.6 (20% X 8$) too.
+We raise the following question[^1]:
 
-The question is: How do you calculate that? How do you know if you wanna play?
+!!! Question "Which trade is a better option?"
+    a) A trade with 80% of chance of losing 100\$ and 20% chance of winning 200\$<br/>
+    b) A trade with 100% of chance of losing 30\$
 
-The answer comes to two factors:
+???+ Info "Answer"
+    The expected value of *a)* is smaller than the expected value of *b)*.<br/>
+    Hence, *b*) represents a smaller loss in the long run.<br/>
+    However, the answer is: *it depends*
 
-- Win Rate
-- Risk Reward Ratio
+Another way to look at it is to ask a similar question:
 
-### Win Rate
+!!! Question "Which trade is a better option?"
+    a) A trade with 80% of chance of winning 100\$ and 20% chance of losing 200\$<br/>
+    b) A trade with 100% of chance of winning 30\$
 
-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).
+Edge positioning tries to answer the hard questions about risk/reward and position size automatically, seeking to minimizes the chances of losing of a given strategy.
 
-```
-W = (Number of winning trades) / (Total number of trades) = (Number of winning trades) / N
-```
+### Trading, winning and losing
 
-Complementary Loss Rate (*L*) is defined as
+Let's call $o$ the return of a single transaction $o$ where $o \in \mathbb{R}$. The collection $O = \{o_1, o_2, ..., o_N\}$ is the set of all returns of transactions made during a trading session. We say that $N$ is the cardinality of $O$, or, in lay terms, it is the number of transactions made in a trading session.
 
-```
-L = (Number of losing trades) / (Total number of trades) = (Number of losing trades) / N
-```
+!!! Example
+    In a session where a strategy made three transactions we can say that $O = \{3.5, -1, 15\}$. That means that $N = 3$ and $o_1 = 3.5$, $o_2 = -1$, $o_3 = 15$.
 
-or, which is the same, as
+A winning trade is a trade where a strategy *made* money. Making money means that the strategy closed the position in a value that returned a profit, after all deducted fees. Formally, a winning trade will have a return $o_i > 0$. Similarly, a losing trade will have a return $o_j \leq 0$. With that, we can discover the set of all winning trades, $T_{win}$, as follows:
 
-```
-L = 1 – W
-```
+$$ T_{win} = \{ o \in O | o > 0 \} $$
+
+Similarly, we can discover the set of losing trades $T_{lose}$ as follows:
+
+$$ T_{lose} = \{o \in O | o \leq 0\} $$
+
+!!! Example
+    In a section where a strategy made four transactions $O = \{3.5, -1, 15, 0\}$:<br>
+    $T_{win} = \{3.5, 15\}$<br>
+    $T_{lose} = \{-1, 0\}$<br>
+
+### Win Rate and Lose Rate
+
+The win rate $W$ is the proportion of winning trades with respect to all the trades made by a strategy. We use the following function to compute the win rate:
+
+$$W = \frac{|T_{win}|}{N}$$
+
+Where $W$ is the win rate, $N$ is the number of trades and, $T_{win}$ is the set of all trades where the strategy made money.
+
+Similarly, we can compute the rate of losing trades:
+
+$$ 
+    L = \frac{|T_{lose}|}{N} 
+$$
+
+Where $L$ is the lose rate, $N$ is the amount of trades made and, $T_{lose}$ is the set of all trades where the strategy lost money. Note that the above formula is the same as calculating $L = 1 – W$ or $W = 1 – L$
 
 ### 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:
+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. Formally:
 
-```
-R = Profit / Loss
-```
+$$ R = \frac{\text{potential_profit}}{\text{potential_loss}} $$
 
-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:
+???+ Example "Worked example of $R$ calculation"
+    Let's say that you think that the price of *stonecoin* today is 10.0\$. You believe that, because they will start mining stonecoin, it will go up to 15.0\$ tomorrow. There is the risk that the stone is too hard, and the GPUs can't mine it, so the price might go to 0\$ tomorrow. You are planning to invest 100\$, which will give you 10 shares (100 / 10).
 
-```
-Average profit = (Sum of profits) / (Number of winning trades)
+    Your potential profit is calculated as:
 
-Average loss = (Sum of losses) / (Number of losing trades)
+    $\begin{aligned} 
+        \text{potential_profit} &= (\text{potential_price} - \text{entry_price}) * \frac{\text{investment}}{\text{entry_price}} \\
+                                &= (15 - 10) * (100 / 10) \\
+                                &= 50
+    \end{aligned}$
 
-R = (Average profit) / (Average loss)
-```
+    Since the price might go to 0\$, the 100\$ dollars invested could turn into 0.
+
+    We do however use a stoploss of 15% - so in the worst case, we'll sell 15% below entry price (or at 8.5$\).
+
+    $\begin{aligned}
+        \text{potential_loss} &= (\text{entry_price} - \text{stoploss}) * \frac{\text{investment}}{\text{entry_price}} \\
+                                &= (10 - 8.5) * (100 / 10)\\
+                                &= 15
+    \end{aligned}$
+
+    We can compute the Risk Reward Ratio as follows:
+
+    $\begin{aligned}
+        R   &= \frac{\text{potential_profit}}{\text{potential_loss}}\\
+            &= \frac{50}{15}\\
+            &= 3.33
+    \end{aligned}$<br>
+    What it effectively means is that the strategy have the potential to make 3.33\$ for each 1\$ invested.
+
+On a long horizon, that is, on many trades, we can calculate the risk reward by dividing the strategy' average profit on winning trades by the strategy' average loss on losing trades. We can calculate the average profit, $\mu_{win}$, as follows:
+
+$$ \text{average_profit} = \mu_{win} = \frac{\text{sum_of_profits}}{\text{count_winning_trades}} = \frac{\sum^{o \in T_{win}} o}{|T_{win}|} $$
+
+Similarly, we can calculate the average loss, $\mu_{lose}$, as follows:
+
+$$ \text{average_loss} = \mu_{lose} = \frac{\text{sum_of_losses}}{\text{count_losing_trades}} = \frac{\sum^{o \in T_{lose}} o}{|T_{lose}|} $$
+
+Finally, we can calculate the Risk Reward ratio, $R$, as follows:
+
+$$ R = \frac{\text{average_profit}}{\text{average_loss}} = \frac{\mu_{win}}{\mu_{lose}}\\ $$
+
+
+???+ Example "Worked example of $R$ calculation using mean profit/loss"
+    Let's say the strategy that we are using makes an average win $\mu_{win} = 2.06$ and an average loss $\mu_{loss} = 4.11$.<br>
+    We calculate the risk reward ratio as follows:<br>
+    $R = \frac{\mu_{win}}{\mu_{loss}} = \frac{2.06}{4.11} = 0.5012...$
+    
 
 ### 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:
+By combining the Win Rate $W$ and and the Risk Reward ratio $R$ to create an expectancy ratio $E$. A expectance ratio is the expected return of the investment made in a trade. We can compute the value of $E$ as follows:
 
-```
-Expectancy Ratio = (Risk Reward Ratio X Win Rate) – Loss Rate = (R X W) – L
-```
+$$E = R * W - L$$
 
-So lets say your Win rate is 28% and your Risk Reward Ratio is 5:
+!!! Example "Calculating $E$"
+    Let's say that a strategy has a win rate $W = 0.28$ and a risk reward ratio $R = 5$. What this means is that the strategy is expected to make 5 times the investment around on 28% of the trades it makes. Working out the example:<br>
+    $E = R * W - L = 5 * 0.28 - 0.72 = 0.68$
+    <br>
 
-```
-Expectancy = (5 X 0.28) – 0.72 = 0.68
-```
+The expectancy worked out in the example above means that, on average, this strategy' trades will return 1.68 times the size of its losses. Said another way, the strategy makes 1.68\$ for every 1\$ it loses, on average. 
 
-Superficially, this means that on average you expect this strategy’s trades to return 1.68 times the size of your loses. Said another way, you can expect to win $1.68 for every $1 you lose. 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.
+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 is important to remember that any system with an expectancy greater than 0 is profitable using past data. The key is finding one that will be profitable in the future.
 
 You can also use this value to evaluate the effectiveness of modifications to this system.

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.

Since **Trade 1** has $2.5$ **ETH** blocked and **Trade 2** has $1.25$ **ETH** blocked, there is only $5 - 1.25 - 2.5 = 1.25$ **ETH** available. Hence, the position size of **Trade 3** is $1.25$ **ETH**. 
 
-Available capital doesn’t change before a position is sold. Let’s assume that trade 1 receives a sell signal and it is sold with a profit of 1 ETH. Your total capital on exchange would be 11 ETH and the available capital for trading becomes 5.5 ETH.
+!!! Tip "Available Capital Updates"
+    The available capital does not change before a position is sold. After a trade is closed the Available Capital goes up if the trade was profitable or goes down if the trade was a loss.
 
-So the Bot receives another buy signal for trade 4 with a stoploss at 2% then your position size would be **0.055 / 0.02 = 2.75 ETH**.
+-   The strategy detects a sell signal in the **XLM/ETH** market. The bot exits **Trade 1** for a profit of $1$ **ETH**. The total capital in the wallet becomes $11$ **ETH** and the available capital for trading becomes $5.5$ **ETH**.
+
+-   **Trade 4** The strategy detects a new buy signal int the **XLM/ETH** market. `Edge Positioning` calculates the stoploss of $2\%$, and the position size of $0.055 / 0.02 = 2.75$ **ETH**.

 | `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. <br> **Note** than having a smaller step means having a bigger range which could lead to slow calculation. <br> If you set this parameter to -0.001, you then slow down the Edge calculation by a factor of 10. <br>*Defaults to `-0.001`.* <br> **Datatype:** Float
 | `minimum_winrate` | It filters out pairs which don't have at least minimum_winrate. <br>This comes handy if you want to be conservative and don't comprise win rate in favour of risk reward ratio. <br>*Defaults to `0.60`.* <br> **Datatype:** Float
-| `minimum_expectancy` | It filters out pairs which have the expectancy lower than this number. <br>Having an expectancy of 0.20 means if you put 10$ on a trade you expect a 12$ return. <br>*Defaults to `0.20`.* <br> **Datatype:** Float

 | `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. <br>Having a win rate of 100% on a single trade doesn't mean anything at all.

+Edge produced the above table by comparing `calculate_since_number_of_days` to `minimum_expectancy` to find `min_trade_number` historical information based on the config file. The timerange Edge uses for its comparisons can be further limited by using the `--timerange` switch.
+
+In live and dry-run modes, after the `process_throttle_secs` has passed, Edge will again process `calculate_since_number_of_days` against `minimum_expectancy` to find `min_trade_number`. If no `min_trade_number` is found, the bot will return "whitelist empty". Depending on the trade strategy being deployed, "whitelist empty" may be return much of the time - or *all* of the time. The use of Edge may also cause trading to occur in bursts, though this is rare.
+
+If you encounter "whitelist empty" a lot, condsider tuning `calculate_since_number_of_days`, `minimum_expectancy`  and `min_trade_number` to align to the trading frequency of your strategy.

 # Exchange-specific Notes
 
-This page combines common gotchas and informations which are exchange-specific and most likely don't apply to other exchanges.
+This page combines common gotchas and Information which are exchange-specific and most likely don't apply to other exchanges.
+
+## Exchange configuration
+
+Freqtrade is based on [CCXT library](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt) that supports over 100 cryptocurrency
+exchange markets and trading APIs. The complete up-to-date list can be found in the
+[CCXT repo homepage](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/tree/master/python).
+However, the bot was tested by the development team with only a few exchanges.
+A current list of these can be found in the "Home" section of this documentation.
+
+Feel free to test other exchanges and submit your feedback or PR to improve the bot or confirm exchanges that work flawlessly..
+
+Some exchanges require special configuration, which can be found below.
+
+### Sample exchange configuration
+
+A exchange configuration for "binance" would look as follows:
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+    "name": "binance",
+    "key": "your_exchange_key",
+    "secret": "your_exchange_secret",
+    "ccxt_config": {},
+    "ccxt_async_config": {},
+    // ... 
+```
+
+### Setting rate limits
+
+Usually, rate limits set by CCXT are reliable and work well.
+In case of problems related to rate-limits (usually DDOS Exceptions in your logs), it's easy to change rateLimit settings to other values.
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+    "name": "kraken",
+    "key": "your_exchange_key",
+    "secret": "your_exchange_secret",
+    "ccxt_config": {"enableRateLimit": true},
+    "ccxt_async_config": {
+        "enableRateLimit": true,
+        "rateLimit": 3100
+    },
+```
+
+This configuration enables kraken, as well as rate-limiting to avoid bans from the exchange.
+`"rateLimit": 3100` defines a wait-event of 3.1s between each call. This can also be completely disabled by setting `"enableRateLimit"` to false.
+
+!!! Note
+    Optimal settings for rate-limiting depend on the exchange and the size of the whitelist, so an ideal parameter will vary on many other settings.
+    We try to provide sensible defaults per exchange where possible, if you encounter bans please make sure that `"enableRateLimit"` is enabled and increase the `"rateLimit"` parameter step by step.
 
 ## Binance
 
-!!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
-    Binance supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses stop-loss-limit orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it.
+Binance supports [time_in_force](configuration.md#understand-order_time_in_force).

+
+### Binance Blacklist
 
 For Binance, please add `"BNB/<STAKE>"` to your blacklist to avoid issues.
-Accounts having BNB accounts use this to pay for fees - if your first trade happens to be on `BNB`, further trades will consume this position and make the initial BNB order unsellable as the expected amount is not there anymore.

+
+### Binance Futures
+
+Binance has specific (unfortunately complex) [Futures Trading Quantitative Rules](https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/4f462ebe6ff445d4a170be7d9e897272) which need to be followed, and which prohibit a too low stake-amount (among others) for too many orders.
+Violating these rules will result in a trading restriction.
+
+When trading on Binance Futures market, orderbook must be used because there is no price ticker data for futures.
+
+``` jsonc
+  "entry_pricing": {
+      "use_order_book": true,
+      "order_book_top": 1,
+      "check_depth_of_market": {

 ## Kraken
 
 !!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
-    Kraken supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses stop-loss-market orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it, however since the resulting order is a stoploss-market order, sell-rates are not guaranteed, which makes this feature less secure than on other exchanges. This limitation is based on kraken's policy [source](https://blog.kraken.com/post/1234/announcement-delisting-pairs-and-temporary-suspension-of-advanced-order-types/) and [source2](https://blog.kraken.com/post/1494/kraken-enables-advanced-orders-and-adds-10-currency-pairs/) - which has stoploss-limit orders disabled.
+    Kraken supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and can use both stop-loss-market and stop-loss-limit orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it.
+    You can use either `"limit"` or `"market"` in the `order_types.stoploss` configuration setting to decide which type to use.
 
 ### Historic Kraken data
 
 The Kraken API does only provide 720 historic candles, which is sufficient for Freqtrade dry-run and live trade modes, but is a problem for backtesting.
 To download data for the Kraken exchange, using `--dl-trades` is mandatory, otherwise the bot will download the same 720 candles over and over, and you'll not have enough backtest data.
 
+Due to the heavy rate-limiting applied by Kraken, the following configuration section should be used to download data:
+
+``` json
+    "ccxt_async_config": {
+        "enableRateLimit": true,
+        "rateLimit": 3100
+    },
+```
+
+!!! Warning "Downloading data from kraken"
+    Downloading kraken data will require significantly more memory (RAM) than any other exchange, as the trades-data needs to be converted into candles on your machine.
+    It will also take a long time, as freqtrade will need to download every single trade that happened on the exchange for the pair / timerange combination, therefore please be patient.
+
+!!! Warning "rateLimit tuning"
+    Please pay attention that rateLimit configuration entry holds delay in milliseconds between requests, NOT requests\sec rate.
+    So, in order to mitigate Kraken API "Rate limit exceeded" exception, this configuration should be increased, NOT decreased.
+
 ## Bittrex
 
 ### Order types
 
 Bittrex does not support market orders. If you have a message at the bot startup about this, you should change order type values set in your configuration and/or in the strategy from `"market"` to `"limit"`. See some more details on this [here in the FAQ](faq.md#im-getting-the-exchange-bittrex-does-not-support-market-orders-message-and-cannot-run-my-strategy).
 
+Bittrex also does not support `VolumePairlist` due to limited / split API constellation at the moment.
+Please use `StaticPairlist`. Other pairlists (other than `VolumePairlist`) should not be affected.
+
+### Volume pairlist
+
+Bittrex does not support the direct usage of VolumePairList. This can however be worked around by using the advanced mode with `lookback_days: 1` (or more), which will emulate 24h volume.
+
+Read more in the [pairlist documentation](plugins.md#volumepairlist-advanced-mode).

+!!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
+    FTX supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and can use both stop-loss-market and stop-loss-limit orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it.
+    You can use either `"limit"` or `"market"` in the `order_types.stoploss` configuration setting to decide which type of stoploss shall be used.
+
+### Using subaccounts
+
+To use subaccounts with FTX, you need to edit the configuration and add the following:

+
+## Kucoin
+
+Kucoin requires a passphrase for each api key, you will therefore need to add this key into the configuration so your exchange section looks as follows:
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+    "name": "kucoin",
+    "key": "your_exchange_key",
+    "secret": "your_exchange_secret",

+
+Kucoin supports [time_in_force](configuration.md#understand-order_time_in_force).

+    You can use either `"limit"` or `"market"` in the `order_types.stoploss` configuration setting to decide which type of stoploss shall be used.
+
+### Kucoin Blacklists
+
+For Kucoin, please add `"KCS/<STAKE>"` to your blacklist to avoid issues.
+Accounts having KCS accounts use this to pay for fees - if your first trade happens to be on `KCS`, further trades will consume this position and make the initial KCS trade unsellable as the expected amount is not there anymore.
+
+## Huobi
+
+!!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
+    Huobi supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses `stop-limit` orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it by enabling stoploss on exchange.
+
+## OKX (former OKEX)
+
+OKX requires a passphrase for each api key, you will therefore need to add this key into the configuration so your exchange section looks as follows:
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+    "name": "okx",
+    "key": "your_exchange_key",
+    "secret": "your_exchange_secret",
+    "password": "your_exchange_api_key_password",
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    OKX only provides 100 candles per api call. Therefore, the strategy will only have a pretty low amount of data available in backtesting mode.
+
+!!! Warning "Futures"
+    OKX Futures has the concept of "position mode" - which can be Net or long/short (hedge mode).
+    Freqtrade supports both modes - but changing the mode mid-trading is not supported and will lead to exceptions and failures to place trades.
+    OKX also only provides MARK candles for the past ~3 months. Backtesting futures prior to that date will therefore lead to slight deviations, as funding-fees cannot be calculated correctly without this data.
+
+## Gate.io
+
+!!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
+    Gate.io supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses `stop-loss-limit` orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it by enabling stoploss on exchange..
+
+Gate.io allows the use of `POINT` to pay for fees. As this is not a tradable currency (no regular market available), automatic fee calculations will fail (and default to a fee of 0).
+The configuration parameter `exchange.unknown_fee_rate` can be used to specify the exchange rate between Point and the stake currency. Obviously, changing the stake-currency will also require changes to this value.
+
 ## All exchanges
 
 Should you experience constant errors with Nonce (like `InvalidNonce`), it is best to regenerate the API keys. Resetting Nonce is difficult and it's usually easier to regenerate the API keys.

+## Supported Markets
+
+Freqtrade supports spot trading only.
+
+### Can I open short positions?
+
+Freqtrade can open short positions in futures markets.
+This requires the strategy to be made for this - and `"trading_mode": "futures"` in the configuration.

-the tutorial [here|Testing-new-strategies-with-Hyperopt](bot-usage.md#hyperopt-commands).
+This is called "coin dust" and can happen on all exchanges.
+It happens because many exchanges subtract fees from the "receiving currency" - so you buy 100 COIN - but you only get 99.9 COIN.
+As COIN is trading in full lot sizes (1COIN steps), you cannot sell 0.9 COIN (or 99.9 COIN) - but you need to round down to 99 COIN.
+
+This is not a bot-problem, but will also happen while manual trading.
+
+While freqtrade can handle this (it'll sell 99 COIN), fees are often below the minimum tradable lot-size (you can only trade full COIN, not 0.9 COIN).
+Leaving the dust (0.9 COIN) on the exchange makes usually sense, as the next time freqtrade buys COIN, it'll eat into the remaining small balance, this time selling everything it bought, and therefore slowly declining the dust balance (although it most likely will never reach exactly 0).
+
+Where possible (e.g. on binance), the use of the exchange's dedicated fee currency will fix this.  
+On binance, it's sufficient to have BNB in your account, and have "Pay fees in BNB" enabled in your profile. Your BNB balance will slowly decline (as it's used to pay fees) - but you'll no longer encounter dust (Freqtrade will include the fees in the profit calculations).
+Other exchanges don't offer such possibilities, where it's simply something you'll have to accept or move to a different exchange.
+
+### I want to use incomplete candles
+
+Freqtrade will not provide incomplete candles to strategies. Using incomplete candles will lead to repainting and consequently to strategies with "ghost" buys, which are impossible to both backtest, and verify after they happened.
+
+You can use "current" market data by using the [dataprovider](strategy-customization.md#orderbookpair-maximum)'s orderbook or ticker methods - which however cannot be used during backtesting.
 
 ### Is there a setting to only SELL the coins being held and not perform anymore BUYS?
 
-You can use the `/forcesell all` command from Telegram.
+You can use the `/stopbuy` command in Telegram to prevent future buys, followed by `/forceexit all` (sell all open trades).
+
+### I want to run multiple bots on the same machine
+
+Please look at the [advanced setup documentation Page](advanced-setup.md#running-multiple-instances-of-freqtrade).
+
+### I'm getting "Missing data fillup" messages in the log
+
+This message is just a warning that the latest candles had missing candles in them.
+Depending on the exchange, this can indicate that the pair didn't have a trade for the timeframe you are using - and the exchange does only return candles with volume.
+On low volume pairs, this is a rather common occurrence.
+
+If this happens for all pairs in the pairlist, this might indicate a recent exchange downtime. Please check your exchange's public channels for details.
+
+Irrespectively of the reason, Freqtrade will fill up these candles with "empty" candles, where open, high, low and close are set to the previous candle close - and volume is empty. In a chart, this will look like a `_` - and is aligned with how exchanges usually represent 0 volume candles.
+
+### I'm getting "Outdated history for pair xxx" in the log
+
+The bot is trying to tell you that it got an outdated last candle (not the last complete candle).
+As a consequence, Freqtrade will not enter a trade for this pair - as trading on old information is usually not what is desired.
+
+This warning can point to one of the below problems:
+
+* Exchange downtime -> Check your exchange status page / blog / twitter feed for details.
+* Wrong system time -> Ensure your system-time is correct.
+* Barely traded pair -> Check the pair on the exchange webpage, look at the timeframe your strategy uses. If the pair does not have any volume in some candles (usually visualized with a "volume 0" bar, and a "_" as candle), this pair did not have any trades in this timeframe. These pairs should ideally be avoided, as they can cause problems with order-filling.
+* API problem -> API returns wrong data (this only here for completeness, and should not happen with supported exchanges).

 ## Hyperopt module
 
-### How many epoch do I need to get a good Hyperopt result?
+### Why does freqtrade not have GPU support?
+
+First of all, most indicator libraries don't have GPU support - as such, there would be little benefit for indicator calculations.
+The GPU improvements would only apply to pandas-native calculations - or ones written by yourself.
+
+For hyperopt, freqtrade is using scikit-optimize, which is built on top of scikit-learn.
+Their statement about GPU support is [pretty clear](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/faq.html#will-you-add-gpu-support).
+
+GPU's also are only good at crunching numbers (floating point operations). 
+For hyperopt, we need both number-crunching (find next parameters) and running python code (running backtesting). 
+As such, GPU's are not too well suited for most parts of hyperopt.
+
+The benefit of using GPU would therefore be pretty slim - and will not justify the complexity introduced by trying to add GPU support.
+
+There is however nothing preventing you from using GPU-enabled indicators within your strategy if you think you must have this - you will however probably be disappointed by the slim gain that will give you (compared to the complexity).
+
+### How many epochs do I need to get a good Hyperopt result?

-We recommend you to run it at least 10.000 epochs:

+
+It's therefore recommended to run between 500-1000 epochs over and over until you hit at least 10000 epochs in total (or are satisfied with the result). You can best judge by looking at the results - if the bot keeps discovering better strategies, it's best to keep on going.

+## Pairlists and Pairlist Handlers
+
+Pairlist Handlers define the list of pairs (pairlist) that the bot should trade. They are configured in the `pairlists` section of the configuration settings.
+
+In your configuration, you can use Static Pairlist (defined by the [`StaticPairList`](#static-pair-list) Pairlist Handler) and Dynamic Pairlist (defined by the [`VolumePairList`](#volume-pair-list) Pairlist Handler).
+
+Additionally, [`AgeFilter`](#agefilter), [`PrecisionFilter`](#precisionfilter), [`PriceFilter`](#pricefilter), [`ShuffleFilter`](#shufflefilter), [`SpreadFilter`](#spreadfilter) and [`VolatilityFilter`](#volatilityfilter) act as Pairlist Filters, removing certain pairs and/or moving their positions in the pairlist.
+
+If multiple Pairlist Handlers are used, they are chained and a combination of all Pairlist Handlers forms the resulting pairlist the bot uses for trading and backtesting. Pairlist Handlers are executed in the sequence they are configured. You should always configure either `StaticPairList` or `VolumePairList` as the starting Pairlist Handler.
+
+Inactive markets are always removed from the resulting pairlist. Explicitly blacklisted pairs (those in the `pair_blacklist` configuration setting) are also always removed from the resulting pairlist.
+
+### Pair blacklist
+
+The pair blacklist (configured via `exchange.pair_blacklist` in the configuration) disallows certain pairs from trading.
+This can be as simple as excluding `DOGE/BTC` - which will remove exactly this pair.
+
+The pair-blacklist does also support wildcards (in regex-style) - so `BNB/.*` will exclude ALL pairs that start with BNB.
+You may also use something like `.*DOWN/BTC` or `.*UP/BTC` to exclude leveraged tokens (check Pair naming conventions for your exchange!)
+
+### Available Pairlist Handlers
+
+* [`StaticPairList`](#static-pair-list) (default, if not configured differently)
+* [`VolumePairList`](#volume-pair-list)
+* [`AgeFilter`](#agefilter)
+* [`OffsetFilter`](#offsetfilter)
+* [`PerformanceFilter`](#performancefilter)
+* [`PrecisionFilter`](#precisionfilter)
+* [`PriceFilter`](#pricefilter)
+* [`ShuffleFilter`](#shufflefilter)
+* [`SpreadFilter`](#spreadfilter)
+* [`RangeStabilityFilter`](#rangestabilityfilter)
+* [`VolatilityFilter`](#volatilityfilter)
+
+!!! Tip "Testing pairlists"
+    Pairlist configurations can be quite tricky to get right. Best use the [`test-pairlist`](utils.md#test-pairlist) utility sub-command to test your configuration quickly.
+
+#### Static Pair List
+
+By default, the `StaticPairList` method is used, which uses a statically defined pair whitelist from the configuration. The pairlist also supports wildcards (in regex-style) - so `.*/BTC` will include all pairs with BTC as a stake.
+
+It uses configuration from `exchange.pair_whitelist` and `exchange.pair_blacklist`.
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [
+    {"method": "StaticPairList"}
+],
+```
+
+By default, only currently enabled pairs are allowed.
+To skip pair validation against active markets, set `"allow_inactive": true` within the `StaticPairList` configuration.
+This can be useful for backtesting expired pairs (like quarterly spot-markets).
+This option must be configured along with `exchange.skip_pair_validation` in the exchange configuration.
+
+When used in a "follow-up" position (e.g. after VolumePairlist), all pairs in `'pair_whitelist'` will be added to the end of the pairlist.
+
+#### Volume Pair List
+
+`VolumePairList` employs sorting/filtering of pairs by their trading volume. It selects `number_assets` top pairs with sorting based on the `sort_key` (which can only be `quoteVolume`).
+
+When used in the chain of Pairlist Handlers in a non-leading position (after StaticPairList and other Pairlist Filters), `VolumePairList` considers outputs of previous Pairlist Handlers, adding its sorting/selection of the pairs by the trading volume.
+
+When used in the leading position of the chain of Pairlist Handlers, the `pair_whitelist` configuration setting is ignored. Instead, `VolumePairList` selects the top assets from all available markets with matching stake-currency on the exchange.
+
+The `refresh_period` setting allows to define the period (in seconds), at which the pairlist will be refreshed. Defaults to 1800s (30 minutes).
+The pairlist cache (`refresh_period`) on `VolumePairList` is only applicable to generating pairlists.
+Filtering instances (not the first position in the list) will not apply any cache and will always use up-to-date data.
+
+`VolumePairList` is per default based on the ticker data from exchange, as reported by the ccxt library:
+
+* The `quoteVolume` is the amount of quote (stake) currency traded (bought or sold) in last 24 hours.
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [
+    {
+        "method": "VolumePairList",
+        "number_assets": 20,
+        "sort_key": "quoteVolume",
+        "min_value": 0,
+        "refresh_period": 1800
+    }
+],
+```
+
+You can define a minimum volume with `min_value` - which will filter out pairs with a volume lower than the specified value in the specified timerange.
+
+### VolumePairList Advanced mode
+
+`VolumePairList` can also operate in an advanced mode to build volume over a given timerange of specified candle size. It utilizes exchange historical candle data, builds a typical price (calculated by (open+high+low)/3) and multiplies the typical price with every candle's volume. The sum is the `quoteVolume` over the given range. This allows different scenarios, for a  more smoothened volume, when using longer ranges with larger candle sizes, or the opposite when using a short range with small candles.
+
+For convenience `lookback_days` can be specified, which will imply that 1d candles will be used for the lookback. In the example below the pairlist would be created based on the last 7 days:
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [
+    {
+        "method": "VolumePairList",
+        "number_assets": 20,
+        "sort_key": "quoteVolume",
+        "min_value": 0,
+        "refresh_period": 86400,
+        "lookback_days": 7
+    }
+],
+```
+
+!!! Warning "Range look back and refresh period"
+    When used in conjunction with `lookback_days` and `lookback_timeframe` the `refresh_period` can not be smaller than the candle size in seconds. As this will result in unnecessary requests to the exchanges API.
+
+!!! Warning "Performance implications when using lookback range"
+    If used in first position in combination with lookback, the computation of the range based volume can be time and resource consuming, as it downloads candles for all tradable pairs. Hence it's highly advised to use the standard approach with `VolumeFilter` to narrow the pairlist down for further range volume calculation.
+
+??? Tip "Unsupported exchanges (Bittrex, Gemini)"
+    On some exchanges (like Bittrex and Gemini), regular VolumePairList does not work as the api does not natively provide 24h volume. This can be worked around by using candle data to build the volume.
+    To roughly simulate 24h volume, you can use the following configuration.
+    Please note that These pairlists will only refresh once per day.
+
+    ```json
+    "pairlists": [
+        {
+            "method": "VolumePairList",
+            "number_assets": 20,
+            "sort_key": "quoteVolume",
+            "min_value": 0,
+            "refresh_period": 86400,
+            "lookback_days": 1
+        }
+    ],
+    ```
+
+More sophisticated approach can be used, by using `lookback_timeframe` for candle size and `lookback_period` which specifies the amount of candles. This example will build the volume pairs based on a rolling period of 3 days of 1h candles:
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [
+    {
+        "method": "VolumePairList",
+        "number_assets": 20,
+        "sort_key": "quoteVolume",
+        "min_value": 0,
+        "refresh_period": 3600,
+        "lookback_timeframe": "1h",
+        "lookback_period": 72
+    }
+],
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    `VolumePairList` does not support backtesting mode.
+
+#### AgeFilter
+
+Removes pairs that have been listed on the exchange for less than `min_days_listed` days (defaults to `10`) or more than `max_days_listed` days (defaults `None` mean infinity).
+
+When pairs are first listed on an exchange they can suffer huge price drops and volatility
+in the first few days while the pair goes through its price-discovery period. Bots can often
+be caught out buying before the pair has finished dropping in price.
+
+This filter allows freqtrade to ignore pairs until they have been listed for at least `min_days_listed` days and listed before `max_days_listed`.
+
+#### OffsetFilter
+
+Offsets an incoming pairlist by a given `offset` value.
+
+As an example it can be used in conjunction with `VolumeFilter` to remove the top X volume pairs. Or to split a larger pairlist on two bot instances.
+
+Example to remove the first 10 pairs from the pairlist, and takes the next 20 (taking items 10-30 of the initial list):
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [
+    // ...
+    {
+        "method": "OffsetFilter",
+        "offset": 10,
+        "number_assets": 20
+    }
+],
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    When `OffsetFilter` is used to split a larger pairlist among multiple bots in combination with `VolumeFilter` 
+    it can not be guaranteed that pairs won't overlap due to slightly different refresh intervals for the
+    `VolumeFilter`.
+
+!!! Note
+    An offset larger than the total length of the incoming pairlist will result in an empty pairlist.
+
+#### PerformanceFilter
+
+Sorts pairs by past trade performance, as follows:
+
+1. Positive performance.
+2. No closed trades yet.
+3. Negative performance.
+
+Trade count is used as a tie breaker.
+
+You can use the `minutes` parameter to only consider performance of the past X minutes (rolling window).
+Not defining this parameter (or setting it to 0) will use all-time performance.
+
+The optional `min_profit` (as ratio -> a setting of `0.01` corresponds to 1%) parameter defines the minimum profit a pair must have to be considered.
+Pairs below this level will be filtered out.
+Using this parameter without `minutes` is highly discouraged, as it can lead to an empty pairlist without a way to recover.
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [
+    // ...
+    {
+        "method": "PerformanceFilter",
+        "minutes": 1440,  // rolling 24h
+        "min_profit": 0.01  // minimal profit 1%
+    }
+],
+```
+
+As this Filter uses past performance of the bot, it'll have some startup-period - and should only be used after the bot has a few 100 trades in the database.
+
+!!! Warning "Backtesting"
+    `PerformanceFilter` does not support backtesting mode.
+
+#### PrecisionFilter
+
+Filters low-value coins which would not allow setting stoplosses.
+
+!!! Warning "Backtesting"
+    `PrecisionFilter` does not support backtesting mode using multiple strategies.
+
+#### PriceFilter
+
+The `PriceFilter` allows filtering of pairs by price. Currently the following price filters are supported:
+
+* `min_price`
+* `max_price`
+* `max_value`
+* `low_price_ratio`
+
+The `min_price` setting removes pairs where the price is below the specified price. This is useful if you wish to avoid trading very low-priced pairs.
+This option is disabled by default, and will only apply if set to > 0.
+
+The `max_price` setting removes pairs where the price is above the specified price. This is useful if you wish to trade only low-priced pairs.
+This option is disabled by default, and will only apply if set to > 0.
+
+The `max_value` setting removes pairs where the minimum value change is above a specified value.
+This is useful when an exchange has unbalanced limits. For example, if step-size = 1 (so you can only buy 1, or 2, or 3, but not 1.1 Coins) - and the price is pretty high (like 20\$) as the coin has risen sharply since the last limit adaption.
+As a result of the above, you can only buy for 20\$, or 40\$ - but not for 25\$.
+On exchanges that deduct fees from the receiving currency (e.g. FTX) - this can result in high value coins / amounts that are unsellable as the amount is slightly below the limit.
+
+The `low_price_ratio` setting removes pairs where a raise of 1 price unit (pip) is above the `low_price_ratio` ratio.
+This option is disabled by default, and will only apply if set to > 0.
+
+For `PriceFilter` at least one of its `min_price`, `max_price` or `low_price_ratio` settings must be applied.
+
+Calculation example:
+
+Min price precision for SHITCOIN/BTC is 8 decimals. If its price is 0.00000011 - one price step above would be 0.00000012, which is ~9% higher than the previous price value. You may filter out this pair by using PriceFilter with `low_price_ratio` set to 0.09 (9%) or with `min_price` set to 0.00000011, correspondingly.
+
+!!! Warning "Low priced pairs"
+    Low priced pairs with high "1 pip movements" are dangerous since they are often illiquid and it may also be impossible to place the desired stoploss, which can often result in high losses since price needs to be rounded to the next tradable price - so instead of having a stoploss of -5%, you could end up with a stoploss of -9% simply due to price rounding.
+
+#### ShuffleFilter
+
+Shuffles (randomizes) pairs in the pairlist. It can be used for preventing the bot from trading some of the pairs more frequently then others when you want all pairs be treated with the same priority.
+
+!!! Tip
+    You may set the `seed` value for this Pairlist to obtain reproducible results, which can be useful for repeated backtesting sessions. If `seed` is not set, the pairs are shuffled in the non-repeatable random order. ShuffleFilter will automatically detect runmodes and apply the `seed` only for backtesting modes - if a `seed` value is set.
+
+#### SpreadFilter
+
+Removes pairs that have a difference between asks and bids above the specified ratio, `max_spread_ratio` (defaults to `0.005`).
+
+Example:
+
+If `DOGE/BTC` maximum bid is 0.00000026 and minimum ask is 0.00000027, the ratio is calculated as: `1 - bid/ask ~= 0.037` which is `> 0.005` and this pair will be filtered out.
+
+#### RangeStabilityFilter
+
+Removes pairs where the difference between lowest low and highest high over `lookback_days` days is below `min_rate_of_change` or above `max_rate_of_change`. Since this is a filter that requires additional data, the results are cached for `refresh_period`.
+
+In the below example:
+If the trading range over the last 10 days is <1% or >99%, remove the pair from the whitelist.
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [
+    {
+        "method": "RangeStabilityFilter",
+        "lookback_days": 10,
+        "min_rate_of_change": 0.01,
+        "max_rate_of_change": 0.99,
+        "refresh_period": 1440
+    }
+]
+```
+
+!!! Tip
+    This Filter can be used to automatically remove stable coin pairs, which have a very low trading range, and are therefore extremely difficult to trade with profit.
+    Additionally, it can also be used to automatically remove pairs with extreme high/low variance over a given amount of time.
+
+#### VolatilityFilter
+
+Volatility is the degree of historical variation of a pairs over time, it is measured by the standard deviation of logarithmic daily returns. Returns are assumed to be normally distributed, although actual distribution might be different. In a normal distribution, 68% of observations fall within one standard deviation and 95% of observations fall within two standard deviations. Assuming a volatility of 0.05 means that the expected returns for 20 out of 30 days is expected to be less than 5% (one standard deviation). Volatility is a positive ratio of the expected deviation of return and can be greater than 1.00. Please refer to the wikipedia definition of [`volatility`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatility_(finance)).
+
+This filter removes pairs if the average volatility over a `lookback_days` days is below `min_volatility` or above `max_volatility`. Since this is a filter that requires additional data, the results are cached for `refresh_period`.
+
+This filter can be used to narrow down your pairs to a certain volatility or avoid very volatile pairs. 
+
+In the below example:
+If the volatility over the last 10 days is not in the range of 0.05-0.50, remove the pair from the whitelist. The filter is applied every 24h.
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [
+    {
+        "method": "VolatilityFilter",
+        "lookback_days": 10,
+        "min_volatility": 0.05,
+        "max_volatility": 0.50,
+        "refresh_period": 86400
+    }
+]
+```
+
+### Full example of Pairlist Handlers

Then the [`SpreadFilter`](#spreadfilter) and [`VolatilityFilter`](#volatilityfilter) is applied and pairs are finally shuffled with the random seed set to some predefined value.

+## Prices used for orders
+
+Prices for regular orders can be controlled via the parameter structures `entry_pricing` for trade entries and `exit_pricing` for trade exits.
+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.
+
+### Entry price
+
+#### Enter price side
+
+The configuration setting `entry_pricing.price_side` defines the side of the orderbook the bot looks for when buying.
+
+The following displays an orderbook.
+
+``` explanation
+...
+103
+102
+101  # ask
+-------------Current spread
+99   # bid
+98
+97
+...
+```
+
+If `entry_pricing.price_side` is set to `"bid"`, then the bot will use 99 as entry price.  
+In line with that, if `entry_pricing.price_side` is set to `"ask"`, then the bot will use 101 as entry price.
+
+Depending on the order direction (_long_/_short_), this will lead to different results. Therefore we recommend to use `"same"` or `"other"` for this configuration instead.
+This would result in the following pricing matrix:
+
+| direction | Order | setting | price | crosses spread |
+|------ |--------|-----|-----|-----|
+| long  | buy  | ask   | 101 | yes |
+| long  | buy  | bid   | 99  | no  |
+| long  | buy  | same  | 99  | no  |
+| long  | buy  | other | 101 | yes |
+| short | sell | ask   | 101 | no  |
+| short | sell | bid   | 99  | yes |
+| short | sell | same  | 101 | no  |
+| short | sell | other | 99  | yes |
+
+Using the other side of the orderbook 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 "other" 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).
+
+#### Entry price with Orderbook enabled
+
+When entering a trade with the orderbook enabled (`entry_pricing.use_order_book=True`), Freqtrade fetches the `entry_pricing.order_book_top` entries from the orderbook and uses the entry specified as `entry_pricing.order_book_top` on the configured side (`entry_pricing.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.
+
+#### Entry price without Orderbook enabled
+
+The following section uses `side` as the configured `entry_pricing.price_side` (defaults to `"same"`).
+
+When not using orderbook (`entry_pricing.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 based on `entry_pricing.price_last_balance`.
+
+The `entry_pricing.price_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.
+
+#### Check depth of market
+
+When check depth of market is enabled (`entry_pricing.check_depth_of_market.enabled=True`), the entry 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 `entry_pricing.check_depth_of_market.bids_to_ask_delta` parameter. The entry 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).
+
+### Exit price

+The configuration setting `exit_pricing.price_side` defines the side of the spread the bot looks for when exiting a trade.
+
+The following displays an orderbook:
+
+``` explanation
+...
+103
+102
+101  # ask
+-------------Current spread
+99   # bid
+98
+97
+...
+```
+
+If `exit_pricing.price_side` is set to `"ask"`, then the bot will use 101 as exiting price.  
+In line with that, if `exit_pricing.price_side` is set to `"bid"`, then the bot will use 99 as exiting price.
+
+Depending on the order direction (_long_/_short_), this will lead to different results. Therefore we recommend to use `"same"` or `"other"` for this configuration instead.
+This would result in the following pricing matrix:
+
+| Direction | Order | setting | price | crosses spread |
+|------ |--------|-----|-----|-----|
+| long  | sell | ask   | 101 | no  |
+| long  | sell | bid   | 99  | yes |
+| long  | sell | same  | 101 | no  |
+| long  | sell | other | 99  | yes |
+| short | buy  | ask   | 101 | yes |
+| short | buy  | bid   | 99  | no  |
+| short | buy  | same  | 99  | no  |
+| short | buy  | other | 101 | yes |
+
+#### Exit price with Orderbook enabled
+
+When exiting with the orderbook enabled (`exit_pricing.use_order_book=True`), Freqtrade fetches the `exit_pricing.order_book_top` entries in the orderbook and uses the entry specified as `exit_pricing.order_book_top` from the configured side (`exit_pricing.price_side`) as trade exit price.
+
+1 specifies the topmost entry in the orderbook, while 2 would use the 2nd entry in the orderbook, and so on.
+
+#### Exit price without Orderbook enabled
+
+The following section uses `side` as the configured `exit_pricing.price_side` (defaults to `"ask"`).
+
+When not using orderbook (`exit_pricing.use_order_book=False`), Freqtrade uses the best `side` price from the ticker if it's above the `last` traded price from the ticker. Otherwise (when the `side` price is below the `last` price), it calculates a rate between `side` and `last` price based on `exit_pricing.price_last_balance`.
+
+The `exit_pricing.price_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 `side` and last 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 entry and exits are using market orders, a configuration similar to the following must be used
+
+``` jsonc
+  "order_types": {
+    "entry": "market",
+    "exit": "market"
+    // ...
+  },
+  "entry_pricing": {
+    "price_side": "other",
+    // ...
+  },
+  "exit_pricing":{
+    "price_side": "other",
+    // ...
+  },
+```
+
+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 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.  
+
+!!! 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.
+
+!!! Warning "Setting protections from the configuration"
+    Setting protections from the configuration via `"protections": [],` key should be considered deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
+    It is also no longer guaranteed that your protections apply to the strategy in cases where the strategy defines [protections as property](hyperopt.md#optimizing-protections).
+
+### 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.
+
+Similarly, this protection will by default look at all trades (long and short). For futures bots, setting `only_per_side` will make the bot only consider one side, and will then only lock this one side, allowing for example shorts to continue after a series of long stoplosses.
+
+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.
+
+``` python
+@property
+def protections(self):
+    return [
+        {
+            "method": "StoplossGuard",
+            "lookback_period_candles": 24,
+            "trade_limit": 4,
+            "stop_duration_candles": 4,
+            "only_per_pair": False,
+            "only_per_side": 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.
+
+``` python
+@property
+def protections(self):
+    return  [
+        {
+            "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`).
+
+For futures bots, setting `only_per_side` will make the bot only consider one side, and will then only lock this one side, allowing for example shorts to continue after a series of long losses.
+
+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.
+
+``` python
+@property
+def protections(self):
+    return [
+        {
+            "method": "LowProfitPairs",
+            "lookback_period_candles": 6,
+            "trade_limit": 2,
+            "stop_duration": 60,
+            "required_profit": 0.02,
+            "only_per_pair": False,
+        }
+    ]
+```
+
+#### 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".
+
+``` python
+@property
+def protections(self):
+    return  [
+        {
+            "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.
+
+``` python
+from freqtrade.strategy import IStrategy
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy)
+    timeframe = '1h'
+    
+    @property
+    def protections(self):
+        return [
+            {
+                "method": "CooldownPeriod",

-## Easy Installation Script (Linux/MacOS)
+You may later switch between branches at any time with the `git checkout stable`/`git checkout develop` commands.
 
-If you are on Debian, Ubuntu or MacOS Freqtrade provides the script to install, update, configure and reset the codebase of your bot.
+??? Note "Install from pypi"
+    An alternative way to install Freqtrade is from [pypi](https://pypi.org/project/freqtrade/). The downside is that this method requires ta-lib to be correctly installed beforehand, and is therefore currently not the recommended way to install Freqtrade.
+
+    ``` bash

+
+## Script Installation
+
+First of the ways to install Freqtrade, is to use provided the Linux/MacOS `./setup.sh` script, which install all dependencies and help you configure the bot.
+
+Make sure you fulfill the [Requirements](#requirements) and have downloaded the [Freqtrade repository](#freqtrade-repository).
+
+### Use /setup.sh -install (Linux/MacOS)

-## Using Conda
+## 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.
 
-``` bash
-conda env create -f environment.yml
-```
+### What is Conda?
 
-!!! Note
-    This requires the [ta-lib](#1-install-ta-lib) C-library to be installed first.
+Conda is a package, dependency and environment manager for multiple programming languages: [conda docs](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/index.html)
 
-## Windows
+### Installation with conda
 
-We recommend that Windows users use [Docker](docker.md) as this will work much easier and smoother (also more secure).
+#### Install Conda
 
-If that is not possible, try using the Windows Linux subsystem (WSL) - for which the Ubuntu instructions should work.
-If that is not available on your system, feel free to try the instructions below, which led to success for some.
+[Installing on linux](https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/linux.html#install-linux-silent)
 
-### Install freqtrade manually
+[Installing on windows](https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/windows.html)
 
-!!! Note
-    Make sure to use 64bit Windows and 64bit Python to avoid problems with backtesting or hyperopt due to the memory constraints 32bit applications have under Windows.
+Answer all questions. After installation, it is mandatory to turn your terminal OFF and ON again.
 
-!!! Hint
-    Using the [Anaconda Distribution](https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/) under Windows can greatly help with installation problems. Check out the [Conda section](#using-conda) in this document for more information.
+#### Freqtrade download
 
-#### Clone the git repository
+Download and install freqtrade.
 
 ```bash
+# download freqtrade
 git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
+
+# enter downloaded directory 'freqtrade'
+cd freqtrade      
 ```
 
-#### Install ta-lib
+#### Freqtrade install: Conda Environment
 
-Install ta-lib according to the [ta-lib documentation](https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib#windows).
+Prepare conda-freqtrade environment, using file `environment.yml`, which exist in main freqtrade directory
 
-As compiling from source on windows has heavy dependencies (requires a partial visual studio installation), there is also a repository of unofficial precompiled windows Wheels [here](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib), which needs to be downloaded and installed using `pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.17‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl` (make sure to use the version matching your python version)
-
-```cmd
->cd \path\freqtrade-develop
->python -m venv .env
->.env\Scripts\activate.bat
-REM optionally install ta-lib from wheel
-REM >pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.17‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl

+!!! Note "Creating Conda Environment"
+    The conda command `create -n` automatically installs all nested dependencies for the selected libraries, general structure of installation command is:
 
-#### Error during installation under Windows
+    ```bash
+    # choose your own packages
+    conda env create -n [name of the environment] [python version] [packages]
 
-``` bash
-error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
+    # 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
 ```
 
-Unfortunately, many packages requiring compilation don't provide a pre-build wheel. It is therefore mandatory to have a C/C++ compiler installed and available for your python environment to use.
+Enter installed environment
 
-The easiest way is to download install Microsoft Visual Studio Community [here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) and make sure to install "Common Tools for Visual C++" to enable building c code on Windows. Unfortunately, this is a heavy download / dependency (~4Gb) so you might want to consider WSL or [docker](docker.md) first.
+```bash
+# enter conda environment
+conda activate freqtrade-conda
 
----
+# exit conda environment - don't do it now
+conda deactivate
+```
 
-Now you have an environment ready, the next step is
-[Bot Configuration](configuration.md).
+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
+
+### Important shortcuts
+
+```bash
+# list installed conda environments
+conda env list
+
+# activate base environment
+conda activate
+
+# activate freqtrade-conda environment
+conda activate freqtrade-conda
+
+#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!

+# Trading with Leverage
+
+!!! 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 or via Github Issue.
+
+!!! Note "Multiple bots on one account"
+    You can't run 2 bots on the same account with leverage. For leveraged / margin trading, freqtrade assumes it's the only user of the account, and all liquidation levels are calculated based on this assumption.
+
+!!! Danger "Trading with leverage is very risky"
+    Do not trade with a leverage > 1 using a strategy that hasn't shown positive results in a live run using the spot market. Check the stoploss of your strategy. With a leverage of 2, a stoploss of 0.5 (50%) would be too low, and these trades would be liquidated before reaching that stoploss.
+    We do not assume any responsibility for eventual losses that occur from using this software or this mode.
+
+    Please only use advanced trading modes when you know how freqtrade (and your strategy) works.
+    Also, never risk more than what you can afford to lose.
+
+Please read the [strategy migration guide](strategy_migration.md#strategy-migration-between-v2-and-v3) to migrate your strategy from a freqtrade v2 strategy, to v3 strategy that can short and trade futures.
+
+## Shorting
+
+Shorting is not possible when trading with [`trading_mode`](#understand-tradingmode) set to `spot`. To short trade, `trading_mode` must be set to `margin`(currently unavailable) or [`futures`](#futures), with [`margin_mode`](#margin-mode) set to `cross`(currently unavailable) or [`isolated`](#isolated-margin-mode)
+
+For a strategy to short, the strategy class must set the class variable `can_short = True`
+
+Please read [strategy customization](strategy-customization.md#entry-signal-rules) for instructions on how to set signals to enter and exit short trades.
+
+## Understand `trading_mode`
+
+The possible values are: `spot` (default), `margin`(*Currently unavailable*) or `futures`.
+
+### Spot
+
+Regular trading mode (low risk)
+
+- Long trades only (No short trades).
+- No leverage.
+- No Liquidation.
+- Profits gained/lost are equal to the change in value of the assets (minus trading fees).
+
+### Leverage trading modes
+
+With leverage, a trader borrows capital from the exchange. The capital must be re-payed fully to the exchange (potentially with interest), and the trader keeps any profits, or pays any losses, from any trades made using the borrowed capital.
+
+Because the capital must always be re-payed, exchanges will **liquidate** (forcefully sell the traders assets) a trade made using borrowed capital when the total value of assets in the leverage account drops to a certain point (a point where the total value of losses is less than the value of the collateral that the trader actually owns in the leverage account), in order to ensure that the trader has enough capital to pay the borrowed assets back to the exchange. The exchange will also charge a **liquidation fee**, adding to the traders losses.
+
+For this reason, **DO NOT TRADE WITH LEVERAGE IF YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOUR DOING. LEVERAGE TRADING IS HIGH RISK, AND CAN RESULT IN THE VALUE OF YOUR ASSETS DROPPING TO 0 VERY QUICKLY, WITH NO CHANCE OF INCREASING IN VALUE AGAIN.**
+
+#### Margin (currently unavailable)
+
+Trading occurs on the spot market, but the exchange lends currency to you in an amount equal to the chosen leverage. You pay the amount lent to you back to the exchange with interest, and your profits/losses are multiplied by the leverage specified.
+
+#### Futures
+
+Perpetual swaps (also known as Perpetual Futures) are contracts traded at a price that is closely tied to the underlying asset they are based off of (ex.). You are not trading the actual asset but instead are trading a derivative contract. Perpetual swap contracts can last indefinitely, in contrast to futures or option contracts.
+
+In addition to the gains/losses from the change in price of the futures contract, traders also exchange _funding fees_, which are gains/losses worth an amount that is derived from the difference in price between the futures contract and the underlying asset. The difference in price between a futures contract and the underlying asset varies between exchanges.
+
+To trade in futures markets, you'll have to set `trading_mode` to "futures".
+You will also have to pick a "margin mode" (explanation below) - with freqtrade currently only supporting isolated margin.
+
+``` json
+"trading_mode": "futures",
+"margin_mode": "isolated"
+```
+
+### Margin mode
+
+On top of `trading_mode` - you will also have to configure your `margin_mode`.
+While freqtrade currently only supports one margin mode, this will change, and by configuring it now you're all set for future updates.
+
+The possible values are: `isolated`, or `cross`(*currently unavailable*).
+
+#### Isolated margin mode
+
+Each market(trading pair), keeps collateral in a separate account
+
+``` json
+"margin_mode": "isolated"
+```
+
+#### Cross margin mode (currently unavailable)
+
+One account is used to share collateral between markets (trading pairs). Margin is taken from total account balance to avoid liquidation when needed.
+
+``` json
+"margin_mode": "cross"
+```
+
+## Set leverage to use
+
+Different strategies and risk profiles will require different levels of leverage.
+While you could configure one static leverage value - freqtrade offers you the flexibility to adjust this via [strategy leverage callback](strategy-callbacks.md#leverage-callback) - which allows you to use different leverages by pair, or based on some other factor benefitting your strategy result.
+
+If not implemented, leverage defaults to 1x (no leverage).
+
+!!! Warning
+    Higher leverage also equals higher risk - be sure you fully understand the implications of using leverage!
+
+## Understand `liquidation_buffer`
+
+*Defaults to `0.05`*
+
+A ratio specifying how large of a safety net to place between the liquidation price and the stoploss to prevent a position from reaching the liquidation price.
+This artificial liquidation price is calculated as:
+
+`freqtrade_liquidation_price = liquidation_price ± (abs(open_rate - liquidation_price) * liquidation_buffer)`
+
+- `±` = `+` for long trades
+- `±` = `-` for short trades
+
+Possible values are any floats between 0.0 and 0.99
+
+**ex:** If a trade is entered at a price of 10 coin/USDT, and the liquidation price of this trade is 8 coin/USDT, then with `liquidation_buffer` set to `0.05` the minimum stoploss for this trade would be $8 + ((10 - 8) * 0.05) = 8 + 0.1 = 8.1$
+
+!!! Danger "A `liquidation_buffer` of 0.0, or a low `liquidation_buffer` is likely to result in liquidations, and liquidation fees"
+    Currently Freqtrade is able to calculate liquidation prices, but does not calculate liquidation fees. Setting your `liquidation_buffer` to 0.0, or using a low `liquidation_buffer` could result in your positions being liquidated. Freqtrade does not track liquidation fees, so liquidations will result in inaccurate profit/loss results for your bot. If you use a low `liquidation_buffer`, it is recommended to use `stoploss_on_exchange` if your exchange supports this.
+
+## Unavailable funding rates
+
+For futures data, exchanges commonly provide the futures candles, the marks, and the funding rates. However, it is common that whilst candles and marks might be available, the funding rates are not. This can affect backtesting timeranges, i.e. you may only be able to test recent timeranges and not earlier, experiencing the `No data found. Terminating.` error. To get around this, add the `futures_funding_rate` config option as listed in [configuration.md](configuration.md), and it is recommended that you set this to `0`, unless you know a given specific funding rate for your pair, exchange and timerange. Setting this to anything other than `0` can have drastic effects on your profit calculations within strategy, e.g. within the `custom_exit`, `custom_stoploss`, etc functions.
+
+!!! Warning "This will mean your backtests are inaccurate."
+    This will not overwrite funding rates that are available from the exchange, but bear in mind that setting a false funding rate will mean backtesting results will be inaccurate for historical timeranges where funding rates are not available.
+
+### Developer
+
+#### Margin mode
+
+For shorts, the currency which pays the interest fee for the `borrowed` currency is purchased at the same time of the closing trade (This means that the amount purchased in short closing trades is greater than the amount sold in short opening trades).
+
+For longs, the currency which pays the interest fee for the `borrowed` will already be owned by the user and does not need to be purchased. The interest is subtracted from the `close_value` of the trade.
+
+All Fees are included in `current_profit` calculations during the trade.
+
+#### Futures mode
+
+Funding fees are either added or subtracted from the total amount of a trade

-# REST API Usage
+# REST API & FreqUI
+
+## FreqUI
+
+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`).
+
+!!! info "Alpha release"
+    FreqUI is still considered an alpha release - if you encounter bugs or inconsistencies please open a [FreqUI issue](https://github.com/freqtrade/frequi/issues/new/choose).
+
+!!! Note "developers"
+    Developers should not use this method, but instead use the method described in the [freqUI repository](https://github.com/freqtrade/frequi) to get the source-code of freqUI.

+### Advanced API usage using JWT tokens
+
+!!! Note
+    The below should be done in an application (a Freqtrade REST API client, which fetches info via API), and is not intended to be used on a regular basis.
+
+Freqtrade's REST API also offers JWT (JSON Web Tokens).
+You can login using the following command, and subsequently use the resulting access_token.
+
+``` bash
+> curl -X POST --user Freqtrader http://localhost:8080/api/v1/token/login
+{"access_token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE1ODkxMTk2ODEsIm5iZiI6MTU4OTExOTY4MSwianRpIjoiMmEwYmY0NWUtMjhmOS00YTUzLTlmNzItMmM5ZWVlYThkNzc2IiwiZXhwIjoxNTg5MTIwNTgxLCJpZGVudGl0eSI6eyJ1IjoiRnJlcXRyYWRlciJ9LCJmcmVzaCI6ZmFsc2UsInR5cGUiOiJhY2Nlc3MifQ.qt6MAXYIa-l556OM7arBvYJ0SDI9J8bIk3_glDujF5g","refresh_token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE1ODkxMTk2ODEsIm5iZiI6MTU4OTExOTY4MSwianRpIjoiZWQ1ZWI3YjAtYjMwMy00YzAyLTg2N2MtNWViMjIxNWQ2YTMxIiwiZXhwIjoxNTkxNzExNjgxLCJpZGVudGl0eSI6eyJ1IjoiRnJlcXRyYWRlciJ9LCJ0eXBlIjoicmVmcmVzaCJ9.d1AT_jYICyTAjD0fiQAr52rkRqtxCjUGEMwlNuuzgNQ"}

+# Use access_token for authentication

+
+```
+
+Since the access token has a short timeout (15 min) - the `token/refresh` request should be used periodically to get a fresh access token:
+
+``` bash
+> curl -X POST --header "Authorization: Bearer ${refresh_token}"http://localhost:8080/api/v1/token/refresh

+### CORS
+
+This whole section is only necessary in cross-origin cases (where you multiple bot API's running on `localhost:8081`, `localhost:8082`, ...), and want to combine them into one FreqUI instance.
+
+??? info "Technical explanation"
+    All web-based front-ends are subject to [CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS) - Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.
+    Since most of the requests to the Freqtrade API must be authenticated, a proper CORS policy is key to avoid security problems.
+    Also, the standard disallows `*` CORS policies for requests with credentials, so this setting must be set appropriately.
+
+Users can allow access from different origin URL's to the bot API via the `CORS_origins` configuration setting.
+It consists of a list of allowed URL's that are allowed to consume resources from the bot's API.
+
+Assuming your application is deployed as `https://frequi.freqtrade.io/home/` - this would mean that the following configuration becomes necessary:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+    //...
+    "jwt_secret_key": "somethingrandom",
+    "CORS_origins": ["https://frequi.freqtrade.io"],
+    //...
+}
+```
+
+In the following (pretty common) case, FreqUI is accessible on `http://localhost:8080/trade` (this is what you see in your navbar when navigating to freqUI).
+![freqUI url](assets/frequi_url.png)
+
+The correct configuration for this case is `http://localhost:8080` - the main part of the URL including the port.
+
+```jsonc
+{
+    //...
+    "jwt_secret_key": "somethingrandom",
+    "CORS_origins": ["http://localhost:8080"],
+    //...
+}
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    We strongly recommend to also set `jwt_secret_key` to something random and known only to yourself to avoid unauthorized access to your bot.

+In general, you should follow these steps to enable an exchange's sandbox:
 
-## Acccount
+* Figure out if an exchange has a sandbox (most likely by using google or the exchange's support documents)
+* Create a sandbox account (often the sandbox-account requires separate registration)
+* [Add some test assets to account](#add-test-funds)
+* Create API keys

-** Typically the  BTC/USD has the most activity in sandbox to test against.

-## GDAX - Old Candles problem
+## Common problems with sandbox exchanges
 
-It is my experience that GDAX sandbox candles may be 20+- minutes out of date. This can cause trades to fail as one of Freqtrades safety checks.
+Sandbox exchange instances often have very low volume, which can cause some problems which usually are not seen on a real exchange instance.
 
-To disable this check, add / change the `"outdated_offset"` parameter in the exchange section of your configuration to adjust for this delay.
-Example based on the above configuration:
+### Old Candles problem
 
-```json
-  "exchange": {
-        "name": "gdax",
-        "sandbox": true,
-        "key": "5wowfxemogxeowo;heiohgmd",

-        "outdated_offset": 30
-        "pair_whitelist": [
-            "BTC/USD"
-```
+Since Sandboxes often have low volume, candles can be quite old and show no volume.
+To disable the error "Outdated history for pair ...", best increase the parameter `"outdated_offset"` to a number that seems realistic for the sandbox you're using.
+
+### Unfilled orders
+
+Sandboxes often have very low volumes - which means that many trades can go unfilled, or can go unfilled for a very long time.
+
+To mitigate this, you can try to match the first order on the opposite orderbook side using the following configuration:
+
+``` jsonc
+  "order_types": {
+    "entry": "limit",
+    "exit": "limit"
+    // ...
+  },
+  "entry_pricing": {
+    "price_side": "other",
+    // ...
+  },
+  "exit_pricing":{
+    "price_side": "other",
+    // ...
+  },
+  ```
+
+  The configuration is similar to the suggested configuration for market orders - however by using limit-orders you can avoid moving the price too much, and you can set the worst price you might get.

+
+## Stop Loss On-Exchange/Freqtrade
+
+Those stoploss modes can be *on exchange* or *off exchange*.
+
+These modes can be configured with these values:
+
+``` python
+    'emergency_exit': 'market',
+    'stoploss_on_exchange': False
+    'stoploss_on_exchange_interval': 60,
+    'stoploss_on_exchange_limit_ratio': 0.99
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    Stoploss on exchange is only supported for Binance (stop-loss-limit), Huobi (stop-limit), Kraken (stop-loss-market, stop-loss-limit), FTX (stop limit and stop-market) Gateio (stop-limit), and Kucoin (stop-limit and stop-market) as of now.  
+    <ins>Do not set too low/tight stoploss value if using stop loss on exchange!</ins>  
+    If set to low/tight then you have greater risk of missing fill on the order and stoploss will not work.
+
+### stoploss_on_exchange and stoploss_on_exchange_limit_ratio
+
+Enable or Disable stop loss on exchange.
+If the stoploss is *on exchange* it means a stoploss limit order is placed on the exchange immediately after buy order fills. This will protect you against sudden crashes in market, as the order execution happens purely within the exchange, and has no potential network overhead.
+
+If `stoploss_on_exchange` uses limit orders, the exchange needs 2 prices, the stoploss_price and the Limit price.  
+`stoploss` defines the stop-price where the limit order is placed - and limit should be slightly below this.  
+If an exchange supports both limit and market stoploss orders, then the value of `stoploss` will be used to determine the stoploss type.  
+
+Calculation example: we bought the asset at 100\$.  
+Stop-price is 95\$, then limit would be `95 * 0.99 = 94.05$` - so the limit order fill can happen between 95$ and 94.05$.  
+
+For example, assuming the stoploss is on exchange, and trailing stoploss is enabled, and the market is going up, then the bot automatically cancels the previous stoploss order and puts a new one with a stop value higher than the previous stoploss order.
+
+!!! Note
+    If `stoploss_on_exchange` is enabled and the stoploss is cancelled manually on the exchange, then the bot will create a new stoploss order.
+
+### stoploss_on_exchange_interval
+
+In case of stoploss on exchange there is another parameter called `stoploss_on_exchange_interval`. This configures the interval in seconds at which the bot will check the stoploss and update it if necessary.  
+The bot cannot do these every 5 seconds (at each iteration), otherwise it would get banned by the exchange.
+So this parameter will tell the bot how often it should update the stoploss order. The default value is 60 (1 minute).
+This same logic will reapply a stoploss order on the exchange should you cancel it accidentally.
+
+### force_exit
+
+`force_exit` is an optional value, which defaults to the same value as `exit` and is used when sending a `/forceexit` command from Telegram or from the Rest API.
+
+### force_entry
+
+`force_entry` is an optional value, which defaults to the same value as `entry` and is used when sending a `/forceentry` command from Telegram or from the Rest API.
+
+### emergency_exit
+
+`emergency_exit` is an optional value, which defaults to `market` and is used when creating stop loss on exchange orders fails.
+The below is the default which is used if not changed in strategy or configuration file.
+
+Example from strategy file:
+
+``` python

+    "entry": "limit",
+    "exit": "limit",

+
+## Stoploss and Leverage
+
+Stoploss should be thought of as "risk on this trade" - so a stoploss of 10% on a 100$ trade means you are willing to lose 10$ (10%) on this trade - which would trigger if the price moves 10% to the downside.
+
+When using leverage, the same principle is applied - with stoploss defining the risk on the trade (the amount you are willing to lose).
+
+Therefore, a stoploss of 10% on a 10x trade would trigger on a 1% price move.
+If your stake amount (own capital) was 100$ - this trade would be 1000$ at 10x (after leverage).
+If price moves 1% - you've lost 10$ of your own capital - therfore stoploss will trigger in this case.
+
+Make sure to be aware of this, and avoid using too tight stoploss (at 10x leverage, 10% risk may be too little to allow the trade to "breath" a little).
+
 
 ## Changing stoploss on open trades
 
-A stoploss on an open trade can be changed by changing the value in the configuration or strategy and use the `/reload_conf` command (alternatively, completely stopping and restarting the bot also works).

+    All callback methods described below should only be implemented in a strategy if they are actually used.
 
-### Custom order timeout example
+!!! Tip
+    You can get a strategy template containing all below methods by running `freqtrade new-strategy --strategy MyAwesomeStrategy --template advanced`
 
-A simple example, which applies different unfilled-timeouts depending on the price of the asset can be seen below.
-It applies a tight timeout for higher priced assets, while allowing more time to fill on cheap coins.
+## Storing information
 
-The function must return either `True` (cancel order) or `False` (keep order alive).
+Storing information can be accomplished by creating a new dictionary within the strategy class.
+
+The name of the variable can be chosen at will, but should be prefixed with `cust_` to avoid naming collisions with predefined strategy variables.
+
+```python
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    # Create custom dictionary
+    custom_info = {}
+
+    def populate_indicators(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+        # Check if the entry already exists
+        if not metadata["pair"] in self.custom_info:
+            # Create empty entry for this pair
+            self.custom_info[metadata["pair"]] = {}
+
+        if "crosstime" in self.custom_info[metadata["pair"]]:
+            self.custom_info[metadata["pair"]]["crosstime"] += 1
+        else:
+            self.custom_info[metadata["pair"]]["crosstime"] = 1
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    The data is not persisted after a bot-restart (or config-reload). Also, the amount of data should be kept smallish (no DataFrames and such), otherwise the bot will start to consume a lot of memory and eventually run out of memory and crash.
+
+!!! Note
+    If the data is pair-specific, make sure to use pair as one of the keys in the dictionary.
+
+## Dataframe access
+
+You may access dataframe in various strategy functions by querying it from dataprovider.
 
 ``` python
-from datetime import datetime, timestamp
-from freqtrade.persistence import Trade

+        # Look up trade candle.
+        trade_candle = dataframe.loc[dataframe['date'] == trade_date]
+        # trade_candle may be empty for trades that just opened as it is still incomplete.
+        if not trade_candle.empty:
+            trade_candle = trade_candle.squeeze()
+            # <...>
+```
 
-    def check_buy_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:

-           return True
-        return False
+!!! Warning "Using .iloc[-1]"
+    You can use `.iloc[-1]` here because `get_analyzed_dataframe()` only returns candles that backtesting is allowed to see.
+    This will not work in `populate_*` methods, so make sure to not use `.iloc[]` in that area.
+    Also, this will only work starting with version 2021.5.

+
+## Enter Tag
+
+When your strategy has multiple buy signals, you can name the signal that triggered.
+Then you can access you buy signal on `custom_exit`
+
+```python
+def populate_entry_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (dataframe['rsi'] < 35) &
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)
+        ),
+        ['enter_long', 'enter_tag']] = (1, 'buy_signal_rsi')
+
+    return dataframe
+
+def custom_exit(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, current_time: datetime, current_rate: float,
+                current_profit: float, **kwargs):
+    dataframe, _ = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair, self.timeframe)
+    last_candle = dataframe.iloc[-1].squeeze()
+    if trade.enter_tag == 'buy_signal_rsi' and last_candle['rsi'] > 80:
+        return 'sell_signal_rsi'
+    return None
 
-    def check_sell_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:
-        if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(minutes=5):
-            return True
-        elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(minutes=3):
-            return True
-        elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(hours=24):
-           return True
-        return False
 ```
 
 !!! Note
-    For the above example, `unfilledtimeout` must be set to something bigger than 24h, otherwise that type of timeout will apply first.
+    `enter_tag` is limited to 100 characters, remaining data will be truncated.
 
-### Custom order timeout example (using additional data)
+## Exit tag
+
+Similar to [Buy Tagging](#buy-tag), you can also specify a sell tag.
 
 ``` python
-from datetime import datetime, timestamp
-from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+def populate_exit_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (dataframe['rsi'] > 70) &
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)
+        ),
+        ['exit_long', 'exit_tag']] = (1, 'exit_rsi')
 
-class Awesomestrategy(IStrategy):
-
-    # ... populate_* methods
-
-    # Set unfilledtimeout to 25 hours, since our maximum timeout from below is 24 hours.
-    unfilledtimeout = {
-        'buy': 60 * 25,
-        'sell': 60 * 25
-    }
-
-    def check_buy_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:
-        ob = self.dp.orderbook(pair, 1)
-        current_price = ob['bids'][0][0]
-        # Cancel buy order if price is more than 2% above the order.
-        if current_price > order['price'] * 1.02:
-            return True
-        return False
-
-
-    def check_sell_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:
-        ob = self.dp.orderbook(pair, 1)
-        current_price = ob['asks'][0][0]
-        # Cancel sell order if price is more than 2% below the order.
-        if current_price < order['price'] * 0.98:
-            return True
-        return False
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+The provided exit-tag is then used as sell-reason - and shown as such in backtest results.
+
+!!! Note
+    `exit_reason` is limited to 100 characters, remaining data will be truncated.
+
+## Strategy version
+
+You can implement custom strategy versioning by using the "version" method, and returning the version you would like this strategy to have.
+
+``` python
+def version(self) -> str:
+    """
+    Returns version of the strategy.
+    """
+    return "1.1"
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    You should make sure to implement proper version control (like a git repository) alongside this, as freqtrade will not keep historic versions of your strategy, so it's up to the user to be able to eventually roll back to a prior version of the 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 title="user_data/strategies/myawesomestrategy.py"
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    ...
+    stoploss = 0.13
+    trailing_stop = False
+    # All other attributes and methods are here as they
+    # should be in any custom strategy...
+    ...
+
+```
+
+``` python title="user_data/strategies/MyAwesomeStrategy2.py"
+from myawesomestrategy import MyAwesomeStrategy
+class MyAwesomeStrategy2(MyAwesomeStrategy):
+    # Override something
+    stoploss = 0.08
+    trailing_stop = True
+```
+
+Both attributes and methods may be overridden, altering behavior of the original strategy in a way you need.
+
+While keeping the subclass in the same file is technically possible, it can lead to some problems with hyperopt parameter files, we therefore recommend to use separate strategy files, and import the parent strategy as shown above.
+
+## Embedding Strategies
+
+Freqtrade provides you 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!
+
+## Performance warning
+
+When executing a strategy, one can sometimes be greeted by the following in the logs
+
+> PerformanceWarning: DataFrame is highly fragmented.
+
+This is a warning from [`pandas`](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas) and as the warning continues to say:
+use `pd.concat(axis=1)`.
+This can have slight performance implications, which are usually only visible during hyperopt (when optimizing an indicator).
+
+For example:
+
+```python
+for val in self.buy_ema_short.range:
+    dataframe[f'ema_short_{val}'] = ta.EMA(dataframe, timeperiod=val)
+```
+
+should be rewritten to
+
+```python
+frames = [dataframe]
+for val in self.buy_ema_short.range:
+    frames.append(DataFrame({
+        f'ema_short_{val}': ta.EMA(dataframe, timeperiod=val)
+    }))
+
+# Append columns to existing dataframe
+merged_frame = pd.concat(frames, axis=1)
 ```

+# Strategy Callbacks
+
+While the main strategy functions (`populate_indicators()`, `populate_entry_trend()`, `populate_exit_trend()`) should be used in a vectorized way, and are only called [once during backtesting](bot-basics.md#backtesting-hyperopt-execution-logic), callbacks are called "whenever needed".
+
+As such, you should avoid doing heavy calculations in callbacks to avoid delays during operations.
+Depending on the callback used, they may be called when entering / exiting a trade, or throughout the duration of a trade.
+
+Currently available callbacks:
+
+* [`bot_start()`](#bot-start)
+* [`bot_loop_start()`](#bot-loop-start)
+* [`custom_stake_amount()`](#stake-size-management)
+* [`custom_exit()`](#custom-exit-signal)
+* [`custom_stoploss()`](#custom-stoploss)
+* [`custom_entry_price()` and `custom_exit_price()`](#custom-order-price-rules)
+* [`check_entry_timeout()` and `check_exit_timeout()`](#custom-order-timeout-rules)
+* [`confirm_trade_entry()`](#trade-entry-buy-order-confirmation)
+* [`confirm_trade_exit()`](#trade-exit-sell-order-confirmation)
+* [`adjust_trade_position()`](#adjust-trade-position)
+* [`adjust_entry_price()`](#adjust-entry-price)
+* [`leverage()`](#leverage-callback)
+
+!!! Tip "Callback calling sequence"
+    You can find the callback calling sequence in [bot-basics](bot-basics.md#bot-execution-logic)
+
+## Bot start
+
+A simple callback which is called once when the strategy is loaded.
+This can be used to perform actions that must only be performed once and runs after dataprovider and wallet are set
+
+``` python
+import requests
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    def bot_start(self, **kwargs) -> None:
+        """
+        Called only once after bot instantiation.
+        :param **kwargs: Ensure to keep this here so updates to this won't break your strategy.
+        """
+        if self.config['runmode'].value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
+            # Assign this to the class by using self.*
+            # can then be used by populate_* methods
+            self.cust_remote_data = requests.get('https://some_remote_source.example.com')
+
+```
+
+During hyperopt, this runs only once at startup.
+
+## Bot loop start
+
+A simple callback which is called once at the start of every bot throttling iteration (roughly every 5 seconds, unless configured differently).
+This can be used to perform calculations which are pair independent (apply to all pairs), loading of external data, etc.
+
+``` python
+import requests
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    def bot_loop_start(self, **kwargs) -> None:
+        """
+        Called at the start of the bot iteration (one loop).
+        Might be used to perform pair-independent tasks
+        (e.g. gather some remote resource for comparison)
+        :param **kwargs: Ensure to keep this here so updates to this won't break your strategy.
+        """
+        if self.config['runmode'].value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
+            # Assign this to the class by using self.*
+            # can then be used by populate_* methods
+            self.remote_data = requests.get('https://some_remote_source.example.com')
+
+```
+
+### Stake size management
+
+Called before entering a trade, makes it possible to manage your position size when placing a new trade.
+
+```python
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def custom_stake_amount(self, pair: str, current_time: datetime, current_rate: float,
+                            proposed_stake: float, min_stake: float, max_stake: float,
+                            entry_tag: Optional[str], side: str, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        dataframe, _ = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair=pair, timeframe=self.timeframe)
+        current_candle = dataframe.iloc[-1].squeeze()
+
+        if current_candle['fastk_rsi_1h'] > current_candle['fastd_rsi_1h']:
+            if self.config['stake_amount'] == 'unlimited':
+                # Use entire available wallet during favorable conditions when in compounding mode.
+                return max_stake
+            else:
+                # Compound profits during favorable conditions instead of using a static stake.
+                return self.wallets.get_total_stake_amount() / self.config['max_open_trades']
+
+        # Use default stake amount.
+        return proposed_stake
+```
+
+Freqtrade will fall back to the `proposed_stake` value should your code raise an exception. The exception itself will be logged.
+
+!!! Tip
+    You do not _have_ to ensure that `min_stake <= returned_value <= max_stake`. Trades will succeed as the returned value will be clamped to supported range and this action will be logged.
+
+!!! Tip
+    Returning `0` or `None` will prevent trades from being placed.
+
+## Custom exit signal
+
+Called for open trade every throttling iteration (roughly every 5 seconds) until a trade is closed.
+
+Allows to define custom exit signals, indicating that specified position should be sold. This is very useful when we need to customize exit conditions for each individual trade, or if you need trade data to make an exit decision.
+
+For example you could implement a 1:2 risk-reward ROI with `custom_exit()`.
+
+Using `custom_exit()` signals in place of stoploss though *is not recommended*. It is a inferior method to using `custom_stoploss()` in this regard - which also allows you to keep the stoploss on exchange.
+
+!!! Note
+    Returning a (none-empty) `string` or `True` from this method is equal to setting exit signal on a candle at specified time. This method is not called when exit signal is set already, or if exit signals are disabled (`use_exit_signal=False`). `string` max length is 64 characters. Exceeding this limit will cause the message to be truncated to 64 characters.
+    `custom_exit()` will ignore `exit_profit_only`, and will always be called unless `use_exit_signal=False`, even if there is a new enter signal.
+
+An example of how we can use different indicators depending on the current profit and also exit trades that were open longer than one day:
+
+``` python
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def custom_exit(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: 'datetime', current_rate: float,
+                    current_profit: float, **kwargs):
+        dataframe, _ = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair, self.timeframe)
+        last_candle = dataframe.iloc[-1].squeeze()
+
+        # Above 20% profit, sell when rsi < 80
+        if current_profit > 0.2:
+            if last_candle['rsi'] < 80:
+                return 'rsi_below_80'
+
+        # Between 2% and 10%, sell if EMA-long above EMA-short
+        if 0.02 < current_profit < 0.1:
+            if last_candle['emalong'] > last_candle['emashort']:
+                return 'ema_long_below_80'
+
+        # Sell any positions at a loss if they are held for more than one day.
+        if current_profit < 0.0 and (current_time - trade.open_date_utc).days >= 1:
+            return 'unclog'
+```
+
+See [Dataframe access](strategy-advanced.md#dataframe-access) for more information about dataframe use in strategy callbacks.
+
+## Custom stoploss
+
+Called for open trade every iteration (roughly every 5 seconds) until a trade is closed.
+
+The usage of the custom stoploss method must be enabled by setting `use_custom_stoploss=True` on the strategy object.
+
+The stoploss price can only ever move upwards - if the stoploss value returned from `custom_stoploss` would result in a lower stoploss price than was previously set, it will be ignored. The traditional `stoploss` value serves as an absolute lower level and will be instated as the initial stoploss (before this method is called for the first time for a trade), and is still mandatory.
+
+The method must return a stoploss value (float / number) as a percentage of the current price.
+E.g. If the `current_rate` is 200 USD, then returning `0.02` will set the stoploss price 2% lower, at 196 USD.
+
+The absolute value of the return value is used (the sign is ignored), so returning `0.05` or `-0.05` have the same result, a stoploss 5% below the current price.
+
+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 pair: Pair that's currently analyzed
+        :param trade: trade object.
+        :param current_time: datetime object, containing the current datetime
+        :param current_rate: Rate, calculated based on pricing settings in exit_pricing.
+        :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 current rate
+        """
+        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_utc:
+            return -0.05
+        elif current_time - timedelta(minutes=60) > trade.open_date_utc:
+            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 initial stoploss to keep using the initial 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)
+```
+
+#### Stepped stoploss
+
+Instead of continuously trailing behind the current price, this example sets fixed stoploss price levels based on the current profit.
+
+* Use the regular stoploss until 20% profit is reached
+* Once profit is > 20% - set stoploss to 7% above open price.
+* Once profit is > 25% - set stoploss to 15% above open price.
+* Once profit is > 40% - set stoploss to 25% above open price.
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+from freqtrade.strategy import stoploss_from_open
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+

+
+        # return maximum stoploss value, keeping current stoploss price unchanged
+        return 1
+```
+
+#### Custom stoploss using an indicator from dataframe example
+
+Absolute stoploss value may be derived from indicators stored in dataframe. Example uses parabolic SAR below the price as stoploss.
+
+``` python
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    def populate_indicators(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+        # <...>
+        dataframe['sar'] = ta.SAR(dataframe)
+
+    use_custom_stoploss = True
+
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        dataframe, _ = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair, self.timeframe)
+        last_candle = dataframe.iloc[-1].squeeze()
+
+        # Use parabolic sar as absolute stoploss price
+        stoploss_price = last_candle['sar']
+
+        # Convert absolute price to percentage relative to current_rate
+        if stoploss_price < current_rate:
+            return (stoploss_price / current_rate) - 1
+
+        # return maximum stoploss value, keeping current stoploss price unchanged
+        return 1
+```
+
+See [Dataframe access](strategy-advanced.md#dataframe-access) for more information about dataframe use in strategy callbacks.
+
+### Common helpers for stoploss calculations
+
+#### Stoploss relative to open price
+
+Stoploss values returned from `custom_stoploss()` always specify a percentage relative to `current_rate`. In order to set a stoploss relative to the *open* price, we need to use `current_profit` to calculate what percentage relative to the `current_rate` will give you the same result as if the percentage was specified from the open price.
+
+The helper function [`stoploss_from_open()`](strategy-customization.md#stoploss_from_open) can be used to convert from an open price relative stop, to a current price relative stop which can be returned from `custom_stoploss()`.
+
+#### Stoploss percentage from absolute price
+
+Stoploss values returned from `custom_stoploss()` always specify a percentage relative to `current_rate`. In order to set a stoploss at specified absolute price level, we need to use `stop_rate` to calculate what percentage relative to the `current_rate` will give you the same result as if the percentage was specified from the open price.
+
+The helper function [`stoploss_from_absolute()`](strategy-customization.md#stoploss_from_absolute) can be used to convert from an absolute price, to a current price relative stop which can be returned from `custom_stoploss()`.
+
+---
+
+## Custom order price rules
+
+By default, freqtrade use the orderbook to automatically set an order price([Relevant documentation](configuration.md#prices-used-for-orders)), you also have the option to create custom order prices based on your strategy.
+
+You can use this feature by creating a `custom_entry_price()` function in your strategy file to customize entry prices and `custom_exit_price()` for exits.
+
+Each of these methods are called right before placing an order on the exchange.
+
+!!! Note
+    If your custom pricing function return None or an invalid value, price will fall back to `proposed_rate`, which is based on the regular pricing configuration.
+
+### Custom order entry and exit price example
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    def custom_entry_price(self, pair: str, current_time: datetime, proposed_rate: float,
+                           entry_tag: Optional[str], side: str, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        dataframe, last_updated = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair=pair,
+                                                                timeframe=self.timeframe)
+        new_entryprice = dataframe['bollinger_10_lowerband'].iat[-1]
+
+        return new_entryprice
+
+    def custom_exit_price(self, pair: str, trade: Trade,
+                          current_time: datetime, proposed_rate: float,
+                          current_profit: float, exit_tag: Optional[str], **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        dataframe, last_updated = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair=pair,
+                                                                timeframe=self.timeframe)
+        new_exitprice = dataframe['bollinger_10_upperband'].iat[-1]
+
+        return new_exitprice
+
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    Modifying entry and exit prices will only work for limit orders. Depending on the price chosen, this can result in a lot of unfilled orders. By default the maximum allowed distance between the current price and the custom price is 2%, this value can be changed in config with the `custom_price_max_distance_ratio` parameter.
+    **Example**:
+    If the new_entryprice is 97, the proposed_rate is 100 and the `custom_price_max_distance_ratio` is set to 2%, The retained valid custom entry price will be 98, which is 2% below the current (proposed) rate.
+
+!!! Warning "Backtesting"
+    Custom prices are supported in backtesting (starting with 2021.12), and orders will fill if the price falls within the candle's low/high range.
+    Orders that don't fill immediately are subject to regular timeout handling, which happens once per (detail) candle.
+    `custom_exit_price()` is only called for sells of type exit_signal and Custom exit. All other exit-types will use regular backtesting prices.
+
+## Custom order timeout rules
+
+Simple, time-based order-timeouts can be configured either via strategy or in the configuration in the `unfilledtimeout` section.
+
+However, freqtrade also offers a custom callback for both order types, which allows you to decide based on custom criteria if an order did time out or not.
+
+!!! Note
+    Backtesting fills orders if their price falls within the candle's low/high range.
+    The below callbacks will be called once per (detail) candle for orders that don't fill immediately (which use custom pricing).
+
+### Custom order timeout example
+
+Called for every open order until that order is either filled or cancelled.
+`check_entry_timeout()` is called for trade entries, while `check_exit_timeout()` is called for trade exit orders.
+
+A simple example, which applies different unfilled-timeouts depending on the price of the asset can be seen below.
+It applies a tight timeout for higher priced assets, while allowing more time to fill on cheap coins.
+
+The function must return either `True` (cancel order) or `False` (keep order alive).
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime, timedelta
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade, Order
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    # Set unfilledtimeout to 25 hours, since the maximum timeout from below is 24 hours.
+    unfilledtimeout = {
+        'entry': 60 * 25,
+        'exit': 60 * 25
+    }
+
+    def check_entry_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: 'Order',
+                            current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
+        if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date_utc < current_time - timedelta(minutes=5):
+            return True
+        elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date_utc < current_time - timedelta(minutes=3):
+            return True
+        elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date_utc < current_time - timedelta(hours=24):
+           return True
+        return False
+
+
+    def check_exit_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, order: 'Order',
+                           current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
+        if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date_utc < current_time - timedelta(minutes=5):
+            return True
+        elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date_utc < current_time - timedelta(minutes=3):
+            return True
+        elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date_utc < current_time - timedelta(hours=24):
+           return True
+        return False
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    For the above example, `unfilledtimeout` must be set to something bigger than 24h, otherwise that type of timeout will apply first.
+

+## Bot order confirmation
+
+Confirm trade entry / exits.
+This are the last methods that will be called before an order is placed.
+
+### Trade entry (buy order) confirmation
+
+`confirm_trade_entry()` can be used to abort a trade entry at the latest second (maybe because the price is not what we expect).

+### Trade exit (sell order) confirmation
+
+`confirm_trade_exit()` can be used to abort a trade exit (sell) at the latest second (maybe because the price is not what we expect).
+
+`confirm_trade_exit()` may be called multiple times within one iteration for the same trade if different exit-reasons apply.
+The exit-reasons (if applicable) will be in the following sequence:

+
+!!! Warning
+    `confirm_trade_exit()` can prevent stoploss exits, causing significant losses as this would ignore stoploss exits.
+
+## Adjust trade position
+
+The `position_adjustment_enable` strategy property enables the usage of `adjust_trade_position()` callback in the strategy.
+For performance reasons, it's disabled by default and freqtrade will show a warning message on startup if enabled.
+`adjust_trade_position()` can be used to perform additional orders, for example to manage risk with DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging).
+
+`max_entry_position_adjustment` property is used to limit the number of additional buys per trade (on top of the first buy) that the bot can execute. By default, the value is -1 which means the bot have no limit on number of adjustment buys.
+
+The strategy is expected to return a stake_amount (in stake currency) between `min_stake` and `max_stake` if and when an additional buy order should be made (position is increased).
+If there are not enough funds in the wallet (the return value is above `max_stake`) then the signal will be ignored.
+Additional orders also result in additional fees and those orders don't count towards `max_open_trades`.
+
+This callback is **not** called when there is an open order (either buy or sell) waiting for execution, or when you have reached the maximum amount of extra buys that you have set on `max_entry_position_adjustment`.
+`adjust_trade_position()` is called very frequently for the duration of a trade, so you must keep your implementation as performant as possible.
+
+Position adjustments will always be applied in the direction of the trade, so a positive value will always increase your position, no matter if it's a long or short trade. Modifications to leverage are not possible.
+
+!!! Note "About stake size"
+    Using fixed stake size means it will be the amount used for the first order, just like without position adjustment.
+    If you wish to buy additional orders with DCA, then make sure to leave enough funds in the wallet for that.
+    Using 'unlimited' stake amount with DCA orders requires you to also implement the `custom_stake_amount()` callback to avoid allocating all funds to the initial order.
+
+!!! Warning
+    Stoploss is still calculated from the initial opening price, not averaged price.
+
+!!! Warning "/stopbuy"
+    While `/stopbuy` command stops the bot from entering new trades, the position adjustment feature will continue buying new orders on existing trades.
+
+!!! Warning "Backtesting"
+    During backtesting this callback is called for each candle in `timeframe` or `timeframe_detail`, so performance will be affected.

+
+## Adjust Entry Price
+
+The `adjust_entry_price()` callback may be used by strategy developer to refresh/replace limit orders upon arrival of new candles.
+Be aware that `custom_entry_price()` is still the one dictating initial entry limit order price target at the time of entry trigger.
+
+Orders can be cancelled out of this callback by returning `None`.
+
+Returning `current_order_rate` will keep the order on the exchange "as is".
+Returning any other price will cancel the existing order, and replace it with a new order.
+
+The trade open-date (`trade.open_date_utc`) will remain at the time of the very first order placed.
+Please make sure to be aware of this - and eventually adjust your logic in other callbacks to account for this, and use the date of the first filled order instead.
+
+!!! Warning "Regular timeout"
+    Entry `unfilledtimeout` mechanism (as well as `check_entry_timeout()`) takes precedence over this.
+    Entry Orders that are cancelled via the above methods will not have this callback called. Be sure to update timeout values to match your expectations.
+
+```python
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+from datetime import timedelta
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    def adjust_entry_price(self, trade: Trade, order: Optional[Order], pair: str,

+        This only executes when a order was already placed, still open (unfilled fully or partially)
+        and not timed out on subsequent candles after entry trigger.
+
+        When not implemented by a strategy, returns current_order_rate as default.
+        If current_order_rate is returned then the existing order is maintained.
+        If None is returned then order gets canceled but not replaced by a new one.

+        return current_order_rate
+```
+
+## Leverage Callback
+
+When trading in markets that allow leverage, this method must return the desired Leverage (Defaults to 1 -> No leverage).
+
+Assuming a capital of 500USDT, a trade with leverage=3 would result in a position with 500 x 3 = 1500 USDT.
+
+Values that are above `max_leverage` will be adjusted to `max_leverage`.
+For markets / exchanges that don't support leverage, this method is ignored.
+
+``` python
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def leverage(self, pair: str, current_time: datetime, current_rate: float,
+                 proposed_leverage: float, max_leverage: float, entry_tag: Optional[str], side: str,
+                 **kwargs) -> float:
+        """
+        Customize leverage for each new trade. This method is only called in futures mode.
+
+        :param pair: Pair that's currently analyzed
+        :param current_time: datetime object, containing the current datetime
+        :param current_rate: Rate, calculated based on pricing settings in exit_pricing.
+        :param proposed_leverage: A leverage proposed by the bot.
+        :param max_leverage: Max leverage allowed on this pair
+        :param entry_tag: Optional entry_tag (buy_tag) if provided with the buy signal.
+        :param side: 'long' or 'short' - indicating the direction of the proposed trade
+        :return: A leverage amount, which is between 1.0 and max_leverage.
+        """
+        return 1.0
+```
+
+All profit calculations include leverage. Stoploss / ROI also include leverage in their calculation.
+Defining a stoploss of 10% at 10x leverage would trigger the stoploss with a 1% move to the downside.

+# Strategy Migration between V2 and V3
+
+To support new markets and trade-types (namely short trades / trades with leverage), some things had to change in the interface.
+If you intend on using markets other than spot markets, please migrate your strategy to the new format.
+
+We have put a great effort into keeping compatibility with existing strategies, so if you just want to continue using freqtrade in __spot markets__, there should be no changes necessary for now.
+
+You can use the quick summary as checklist. Please refer to the detailed sections below for full migration details.
+
+## Quick summary / migration checklist
+
+Note : `forcesell`, `forcebuy`, `emergencysell` are changed to `force_exit`, `force_enter`, `emergency_exit` respectively.
+

+* Introduced new [`leverage` callback](strategy-callbacks.md#leverage-callback).
+* Informative pairs can now pass a 3rd element in the Tuple, defining the candle type.
+* `@informative` decorator now takes an optional `candle_type` argument.
+* [helper methods](#helper-methods) `stoploss_from_open` and `stoploss_from_absolute` now take `is_short` as additional argument.

+
+## Extensive explanation
+
+### `populate_buy_trend`
+
+In `populate_buy_trend()` - you will want to change the columns you assign from `'buy`' to `'enter_long'`, as well as the method name from `populate_buy_trend` to `populate_entry_trend`.
+
+```python hl_lines="1 9"
+def populate_buy_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 30)) &  # Signal: RSI crosses above 30
+            (dataframe['tema'] <= dataframe['bb_middleband']) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)  # Make sure Volume is not 0
+        ),
+        ['buy', 'buy_tag']] = (1, 'rsi_cross')
+
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+After:
+
+```python hl_lines="1 9"
+def populate_entry_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 30)) &  # Signal: RSI crosses above 30
+            (dataframe['tema'] <= dataframe['bb_middleband']) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)  # Make sure Volume is not 0
+        ),
+        ['enter_long', 'enter_tag']] = (1, 'rsi_cross')
+
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+Please refer to the [Strategy documentation](strategy-customization.md#entry-signal-rules) on how to enter and exit short trades.
+
+### `populate_sell_trend`
+
+Similar to `populate_buy_trend`, `populate_sell_trend()` will be renamed to `populate_exit_trend()`.
+We'll also change the column from `'sell'` to `'exit_long'`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="1 9"
+def populate_sell_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 70)) &  # Signal: RSI crosses above 70
+            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['bb_middleband']) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['tema'] < dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)  # Make sure Volume is not 0
+        ),
+        ['sell', 'exit_tag']] = (1, 'some_exit_tag')
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+After
+
+``` python hl_lines="1 9"
+def populate_exit_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 70)) &  # Signal: RSI crosses above 70
+            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['bb_middleband']) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['tema'] < dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)  # Make sure Volume is not 0
+        ),
+        ['exit_long', 'exit_tag']] = (1, 'some_exit_tag')
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+Please refer to the [Strategy documentation](strategy-customization.md#exit-signal-rules) on how to enter and exit short trades.
+
+### `custom_sell`
+
+`custom_sell` has been renamed to `custom_exit`.
+It's now also being called for every iteration, independent of current profit and `exit_profit_only` settings.
+
+``` python hl_lines="2"

+### `confirm_trade_exit`
+
+Changed argument `sell_reason` to `exit_reason`.
+For compatibility, `sell_reason` will still be provided for a limited time.
+

+    return True
+```
+
+### `custom_entry_price`
+
+New string argument `side` - which can be either `"long"` or `"short"`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="3"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def custom_entry_price(self, pair: str, current_time: datetime, proposed_rate: float,

+      return proposed_rate
+```
+
+### Adjust trade position changes
+
+While adjust-trade-position itself did not change, you should no longer use `trade.nr_of_successful_buys` - and instead use `trade.nr_of_successful_entries`, which will also include short entries.
+
+### Helper methods
+
+Added argument "is_short" to `stoploss_from_open` and `stoploss_from_absolute`.
+This should be given the value of `trade.is_short`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="5 7"
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+        # once the profit has risen above 10%, keep the stoploss at 7% above the open price
+        if current_profit > 0.10:
+            return stoploss_from_open(0.07, current_profit)
+
+        return stoploss_from_absolute(current_rate - (candle['atr'] * 2), current_rate)
+
+        return 1
+
+```
+
+After:
+
+``` python hl_lines="5 7"
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+        # once the profit has risen above 10%, keep the stoploss at 7% above the open price
+        if current_profit > 0.10:
+            return stoploss_from_open(0.07, current_profit, is_short=trade.is_short)
+
+        return stoploss_from_absolute(current_rate - (candle['atr'] * 2), current_rate, is_short=trade.is_short)
+
+
+```
+
+### Strategy/Configuration settings
+
+#### `order_time_in_force`
+
+`order_time_in_force` attributes changed from `"buy"` to `"entry"` and `"sell"` to `"exit"`.
+
+``` python
+    order_time_in_force: Dict = {
+        "buy": "gtc",
+        "sell": "gtc",
+    }
+```
+
+After:
+
+``` python hl_lines="2 3"
+    order_time_in_force: Dict = {
+        "entry": "gtc",
+        "exit": "gtc",
+    }
+```
+
+#### `order_types`
+
+`order_types` have changed all wordings from `buy` to `entry` - and `sell` to `exit`.
+And two words are joined with `_`. 
+
+``` python hl_lines="2-6"
+    order_types = {
+        "buy": "limit",
+        "sell": "limit",
+        "emergencysell": "market",
+        "forcesell": "market",
+        "forcebuy": "market",
+        "stoploss": "market",
+        "stoploss_on_exchange": false,
+        "stoploss_on_exchange_interval": 60
+    }
+```
+
+After:
+
+``` python hl_lines="2-6"
+    order_types = {
+        "entry": "limit",
+        "exit": "limit",
+        "emergency_exit": "market",
+        "force_exit": "market",
+        "force_entry": "market",
+        "stoploss": "market",
+        "stoploss_on_exchange": false,
+        "stoploss_on_exchange_interval": 60
+    }
+```
+
+#### Strategy level settings
+
+* `use_sell_signal` -> `use_exit_signal`
+* `sell_profit_only` -> `exit_profit_only`
+* `sell_profit_offset` -> `exit_profit_offset`
+* `ignore_roi_if_buy_signal` -> `ignore_roi_if_entry_signal`
+
+``` python hl_lines="2-5"
+    # These values can be overridden in the config.
+    use_sell_signal = True
+    sell_profit_only = True
+    sell_profit_offset: 0.01
+    ignore_roi_if_buy_signal = False
+```
+
+After:
+
+``` python hl_lines="2-5"
+    # These values can be overridden in the config.
+    use_exit_signal = True
+    exit_profit_only = True
+    exit_profit_offset: 0.01
+    ignore_roi_if_entry_signal = False
+```
+
+#### `unfilledtimeout`
+
+`unfilledtimeout` have changed all wordings from `buy` to `entry` - and `sell` to `exit`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="2-3"
+unfilledtimeout = {
+        "buy": 10,
+        "sell": 10,
+        "exit_timeout_count": 0,
+        "unit": "minutes"
+    }
+```
+
+After:
+
+``` python hl_lines="2-3"
+unfilledtimeout = {
+        "entry": 10,
+        "exit": 10,
+        "exit_timeout_count": 0,
+        "unit": "minutes"
+    }
+```
+
+#### `order pricing`
+
+Order pricing changed in 2 ways. `bid_strategy` was renamed to `entry_pricing` and `ask_strategy` was renamed to `exit_pricing`.
+The attributes `ask_last_balance` -> `price_last_balance` and `bid_last_balance` -> `price_last_balance` were renamed as well.
+Also, price-side can now be defined as `ask`, `bid`, `same` or `other`.
+Please refer to the [pricing documentation](configuration.md#prices-used-for-orders) for more information.
