+- `Backtesting from` / `Backtesting to`: Backtesting range (usually defined with the `--timerange` option).
+- `Max open trades`: Setting of `max_open_trades` (or `--max-open-trades`) - to clearly see settings for this.
 - `Total trades`: Identical to the total trades of the backtest output table.
 - `First trade`: First trade entered.
 - `First trade pair`: Which pair was part of the first trade.
-- `Backtesting from` / `Backtesting to`: Backtesting range (usually defined with the `--timerange` option).
 - `Total Profit %`: Total profit per stake amount. Aligned to the TOTAL column of the first table.
 - `Trades per day`: Total trades divided by the backtesting duration in days (this will give you information about how many trades to expect from the strategy).
 - `Best day` / `Worst day`: Best and worst day based on daily profit.
 - `Avg. Duration Winners` / `Avg. Duration Loser`: Average durations for winning and losing trades.
 - `Max Drawdown`: Maximum drawdown experienced. For example, the value of 50% means that from highest to subsequent lowest point, a 50% drop was experienced).
-- `Drawdown Start` / `Drawdown End`: Start and end datetimes for this largest drawdown (can also be visualized via the `plot-dataframe` sub-command).

-## 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).
-
-Additionaly, [`AgeFilter`](#agefilter), [`PrecisionFilter`](#precisionfilter), [`PriceFilter`](#pricefilter), [`ShuffleFilter`](#shufflefilter) and [`SpreadFilter`](#spreadfilter) 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.
-
-### Available Pairlist Handlers
-
-* [`StaticPairList`](#static-pair-list) (default, if not configured differently)
-* [`VolumePairList`](#volume-pair-list)
-* [`AgeFilter`](#agefilter)
-* [`PrecisionFilter`](#precisionfilter)
-* [`PriceFilter`](#pricefilter)
-* [`ShuffleFilter`](#shufflefilter)
-* [`SpreadFilter`](#spreadfilter)
-
-!!! Tip "Testing pairlists"
-    Pairlist configurations can be quite tricky to get right. Best use the [`test-pairlist`](utils.md#test-pairlist) utility subcommand 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. 
-
-It uses configuration from `exchange.pair_whitelist` and `exchange.pair_blacklist`.
-
-```json
-"pairlists": [
-    {"method": "StaticPairList"}
-    ],
-```
-
-#### 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 on the leading position of the chain of Pairlist Handlers, it does not consider `pair_whitelist` configuration setting, but 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).
-
-`VolumePairList` is 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",
-        "refresh_period": 1800,
-}],
-```
-
-#### AgeFilter
-
-Removes pairs that have been listed on the exchange for less than `min_days_listed` days (defaults to `10`).
-
-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.
-
-#### PrecisionFilter
-
-Filters low-value coins which would not allow setting stoplosses.
-
-#### PriceFilter
-
-The `PriceFilter` allows filtering of pairs by price. Currently the following price filters are supported:
-
-* `min_price`
-* `max_price`
-* `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 `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 `PriceFiler` 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.
-
-#### 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.
-
-### Full example of Pairlist Handlers
-
-The below example blacklists `BNB/BTC`, uses `VolumePairList` with `20` assets, sorting pairs by `quoteVolume` and applies both [`PrecisionFilter`](#precisionfilter) and [`PriceFilter`](#price-filter), filtering all assets where 1 priceunit is > 1%. Then the `SpreadFilter` is applied and pairs are finally shuffled with the random seed set to some predefined value.
-
-```json
-"exchange": {
-    "pair_whitelist": [],
-    "pair_blacklist": ["BNB/BTC"]
-},
-"pairlists": [
-    {
-        "method": "VolumePairList",
-        "number_assets": 20,
-        "sort_key": "quoteVolume",
-    },
-    {"method": "AgeFilter", "min_days_listed": 10},
-    {"method": "PrecisionFilter"},
-    {"method": "PriceFilter", "low_price_ratio": 0.01},
-    {"method": "SpreadFilter", "max_spread_ratio": 0.005},
-    {"method": "ShuffleFilter", "seed": 42}

+## 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) and [`SpreadFilter`](#spreadfilter) 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.
+
+### Available Pairlist Handlers
+
+* [`StaticPairList`](#static-pair-list) (default, if not configured differently)
+* [`VolumePairList`](#volume-pair-list)
+* [`AgeFilter`](#agefilter)
+* [`PrecisionFilter`](#precisionfilter)
+* [`PriceFilter`](#pricefilter)
+* [`ShuffleFilter`](#shufflefilter)
+* [`SpreadFilter`](#spreadfilter)
+* [`RangeStabilityFilter`](#rangestabilityfilter)
+
+!!! 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.
+
+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.
+
+#### 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 on the leading position of the chain of Pairlist Handlers, it does not consider `pair_whitelist` configuration setting, but 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).
+
+`VolumePairList` is 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",
+        "refresh_period": 1800
+}],
+```
+
+#### AgeFilter
+
+Removes pairs that have been listed on the exchange for less than `min_days_listed` days (defaults to `10`).
+
+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.
+
+#### PrecisionFilter
+
+Filters low-value coins which would not allow setting stoplosses.
+
+#### PriceFilter
+
+The `PriceFilter` allows filtering of pairs by price. Currently the following price filters are supported:
+
+* `min_price`
+* `max_price`
+* `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 `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 `PriceFiler` 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.
+
+#### 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`. 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%, remove the pair from the whitelist.
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [
+    {
+        "method": "RangeStabilityFilter",
+        "lookback_days": 10,
+        "min_rate_of_change": 0.01,
+        "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.
+
+### Full example of Pairlist Handlers
+
+The below example blacklists `BNB/BTC`, uses `VolumePairList` with `20` assets, sorting pairs by `quoteVolume` and applies both [`PrecisionFilter`](#precisionfilter) and [`PriceFilter`](#price-filter), filtering all assets where 1 price unit is > 1%. Then the `SpreadFilter` is applied and pairs are finally shuffled with the random seed set to some predefined value.
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+    "pair_whitelist": [],
+    "pair_blacklist": ["BNB/BTC"]
+},
+"pairlists": [
+    {
+        "method": "VolumePairList",

+    {"method": "AgeFilter", "min_days_listed": 10},
+    {"method": "PrecisionFilter"},

 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 happens successfully. This will protect you against sudden crashes in market as the order will be in the queue immediately and if market goes down then the order has more chance of being fulfilled.

 `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$.

+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.
 
 ### emergencysell

 `emergencysell` is an optional value, which defaults to `market` and is used when creating stop loss on exchange orders fails.
