docs/advanced-hyperopt.md

@@ -4,34 +4,6 @@ This page explains some advanced Hyperopt topics that may require higher
 coding skills and Python knowledge than creation of an ordinal hyperoptimization
 class.
 
-## Derived hyperopt classes
-
-Custom hyperop classes can be derived in the same way [it can be done for strategies](strategy-customization.md#derived-strategies).
-
-Applying to hyperoptimization, as an example, you may override how dimensions are defined in your optimization hyperspace:
-
-```python
-class MyAwesomeHyperOpt(IHyperOpt):
-    ...
-    # Uses default stoploss dimension
-
-class MyAwesomeHyperOpt2(MyAwesomeHyperOpt):
-    @staticmethod
-    def stoploss_space() -> List[Dimension]:
-        # Override boundaries for stoploss
-        return [
-            Real(-0.33, -0.01, name='stoploss'),
-        ]
-```
-
-and then quickly switch between hyperopt classes, running optimization process with hyperopt class you need in each particular case:
-
-```
-$ freqtrade hyperopt --hyperopt MyAwesomeHyperOpt --hyperopt-loss SharpeHyperOptLossDaily --strategy MyAwesomeStrategy ...
-or
-$ freqtrade hyperopt --hyperopt MyAwesomeHyperOpt2 --hyperopt-loss SharpeHyperOptLossDaily --strategy MyAwesomeStrategy ...
-```
-
 ## Creating and using a custom loss function
 
 To use a custom loss function class, make sure that the function `hyperopt_loss_function` is defined in your custom hyperopt loss class.
@@ -97,3 +69,315 @@ This function needs to return a floating point number (`float`). Smaller numbers
 
 !!! Note
     Please keep the arguments `*args` and `**kwargs` in the interface to allow us to extend this interface later.
+
+## 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(self):
+            return [SKDecimal(-0.05, -0.01, decimals=3, name='stoploss')]
+```
+
+## 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]`).
+
+---
+
+## Legacy Hyperopt
+
+This Section explains the configuration of an explicit Hyperopt file (separate to the strategy).
+
+!!! Warning "Deprecated / legacy mode"
+    Since the 2021.4 release you no longer have to write a separate hyperopt class, but all strategies can be hyperopted.
+    Please read the [main hyperopt page](hyperopt.md) for more details.
+
+### Prepare hyperopt file
+
+Configuring an explicit hyperopt file is similar to writing your own strategy, and many tasks will be similar.
+
+!!! Tip "About this page"
+    For this page, we will be using a fictional strategy called `AwesomeStrategy` - which will be optimized using the `AwesomeHyperopt` class.
+
+#### Create a Custom Hyperopt File
+
+The simplest way to get started is to use the following command, which will create a new hyperopt file from a template, which will be located under `user_data/hyperopts/AwesomeHyperopt.py`.
+
+Let assume you want a hyperopt file `AwesomeHyperopt.py`:
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade new-hyperopt --hyperopt AwesomeHyperopt
+```
+
+#### Legacy Hyperopt checklist
+
+Checklist on all tasks / possibilities in hyperopt
+
+Depending on the space you want to optimize, only some of the below are required:
+
+* fill `buy_strategy_generator` - for buy signal optimization
+* fill `indicator_space` - for buy signal optimization
+* fill `sell_strategy_generator` - for sell signal optimization
+* fill `sell_indicator_space` - for sell signal optimization
+
+!!! Note
+    `populate_indicators` needs to create all indicators any of thee spaces may use, otherwise hyperopt will not work.
+
+Optional in hyperopt - can also be loaded from a strategy (recommended):
+
+* `populate_indicators` - fallback to create indicators
+* `populate_buy_trend` - fallback if not optimizing for buy space. should come from strategy
+* `populate_sell_trend` - fallback if not optimizing for sell space. should come from strategy
+
+!!! Note
+    You always have to provide a strategy to Hyperopt, even if your custom Hyperopt class contains all methods.
+    Assuming the optional methods are not in your hyperopt file, please use `--strategy AweSomeStrategy` which contains these methods so hyperopt can use these methods instead.
+
+Rarely you may also need to override:
+
+* `roi_space` - for custom ROI optimization (if you need the ranges for the ROI parameters in the optimization hyperspace that differ from default)
+* `generate_roi_table` - for custom ROI optimization (if you need the ranges for the values in the ROI table that differ from default or the number of entries (steps) in the ROI table which differs from the default 4 steps)
+* `stoploss_space` - for custom stoploss optimization (if you need the range for the stoploss parameter in the optimization hyperspace that differs from default)
+* `trailing_space` - for custom trailing stop optimization (if you need the ranges for the trailing stop parameters in the optimization hyperspace that differ from default)
+
+#### Defining a buy signal optimization
+
+Let's say you are curious: should you use MACD crossings or lower Bollinger
+Bands to trigger your buys. And you also wonder should you use RSI or ADX to
+help with those buy decisions. If you decide to use RSI or ADX, which values
+should I use for them? So let's use hyperparameter optimization to solve this
+mystery.
+
+We will start by defining a search space:
+
+```python
+    def indicator_space() -> List[Dimension]:
+        """
+        Define your Hyperopt space for searching strategy parameters
+        """
+        return [
+            Integer(20, 40, name='adx-value'),
+            Integer(20, 40, name='rsi-value'),
+            Categorical([True, False], name='adx-enabled'),
+            Categorical([True, False], name='rsi-enabled'),
+            Categorical(['bb_lower', 'macd_cross_signal'], name='trigger')
+        ]
+```
+
+Above definition says: I have five parameters I want you to randomly combine
+to find the best combination. Two of them are integer values (`adx-value` and `rsi-value`) and I want you test in the range of values 20 to 40.  
+Then we have three category variables. First two are either `True` or `False`.
+We use these to either enable or disable the ADX and RSI guards.
+The last one we call `trigger` and use it to decide which buy trigger we want to use.
+
+So let's write the buy strategy generator using these values:
+
+```python
+    @staticmethod
+    def buy_strategy_generator(params: Dict[str, Any]) -> Callable:
+        """
+        Define the buy strategy parameters to be used by Hyperopt.
+        """
+        def populate_buy_trend(dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+            conditions = []
+            # GUARDS AND TRENDS
+            if 'adx-enabled' in params and params['adx-enabled']:
+                conditions.append(dataframe['adx'] > params['adx-value'])
+            if 'rsi-enabled' in params and params['rsi-enabled']:
+                conditions.append(dataframe['rsi'] < params['rsi-value'])
+
+            # TRIGGERS
+            if 'trigger' in params:
+                if params['trigger'] == 'bb_lower':
+                    conditions.append(dataframe['close'] < dataframe['bb_lowerband'])
+                if params['trigger'] == 'macd_cross_signal':
+                    conditions.append(qtpylib.crossed_above(
+                        dataframe['macd'], dataframe['macdsignal']
+                    ))
+
+            # Check that volume is not 0
+            conditions.append(dataframe['volume'] > 0)
+
+            if conditions:
+                dataframe.loc[
+                    reduce(lambda x, y: x & y, conditions),
+                    'buy'] = 1
+
+            return dataframe
+
+        return populate_buy_trend
+```
+
+Hyperopt will now call `populate_buy_trend()` many times (`epochs`) with different value combinations.  
+It will use the given historical data and make buys based on the buy signals generated with the above function.  
+Based on the results, hyperopt will tell you which parameter combination produced the best results (based on the configured [loss function](#loss-functions)).
+
+!!! Note
+    The above setup expects to find ADX, RSI and Bollinger Bands in the populated indicators.
+    When you want to test an indicator that isn't used by the bot currently, remember to
+    add it to the `populate_indicators()` method in your strategy or hyperopt file.
+
+#### Sell optimization
+
+Similar to the buy-signal above, sell-signals can also be optimized.
+Place the corresponding settings into the following methods
+
+* Inside `sell_indicator_space()` - the parameters hyperopt shall be optimizing.
+* Within `sell_strategy_generator()` - populate the nested method `populate_sell_trend()` to apply the parameters.
+
+The configuration and rules are the same than for buy signals.
+To avoid naming collisions in the search-space, please prefix all sell-spaces with `sell-`.
+
+### Execute Hyperopt
+
+Once you have updated your hyperopt configuration you can run it.
+Because hyperopt tries a lot of combinations to find the best parameters it will take time to get a good result. More time usually results in better results.
+
+We strongly recommend to use `screen` or `tmux` to prevent any connection loss.
+
+```bash
+freqtrade hyperopt --config config.json --hyperopt <hyperoptname> --hyperopt-loss <hyperoptlossname> --strategy <strategyname> -e 500 --spaces all
+```
+
+Use `<hyperoptname>` as the name of the custom hyperopt used.
+
+The `-e` option will set how many evaluations hyperopt will do. Since hyperopt uses Bayesian search, running too many epochs at once may not produce greater results. Experience has shown that best results are usually not improving much after 500-1000 epochs.  
+Doing multiple runs (executions) with a few 1000 epochs and different random state will most likely produce different results.
+
+The `--spaces all` option determines that all possible parameters should be optimized. Possibilities are listed below.
+
+!!! Note
+    Hyperopt will store hyperopt results with the timestamp of the hyperopt start time.
+    Reading commands (`hyperopt-list`, `hyperopt-show`) can use `--hyperopt-filename <filename>` to read and display older hyperopt results.
+    You can find a list of filenames with `ls -l user_data/hyperopt_results/`.
+
+#### Running Hyperopt using methods from a strategy
+
+Hyperopt can reuse `populate_indicators`, `populate_buy_trend`, `populate_sell_trend` from your strategy, assuming these methods are **not** in your custom hyperopt file, and a strategy is provided.
+
+```bash
+freqtrade hyperopt --hyperopt AwesomeHyperopt --hyperopt-loss SharpeHyperOptLossDaily --strategy AwesomeStrategy
+```
+
+### Understand the Hyperopt Result
+
+Once Hyperopt is completed you can use the result to create a new strategy.
+Given the following result from hyperopt:
+
+```
+Best result:
+
+    44/100:    135 trades. Avg profit  0.57%. Total profit  0.03871918 BTC (0.7722Σ%). Avg duration 180.4 mins. Objective: 1.94367
+
+Buy hyperspace params:
+{    'adx-value': 44,
+     'rsi-value': 29,
+     'adx-enabled': False,
+     'rsi-enabled': True,
+     'trigger': 'bb_lower'}
+```
+
+You should understand this result like:
+
+* The buy trigger that worked best was `bb_lower`.
+* You should not use ADX because `adx-enabled: False`)
+* You should **consider** using the RSI indicator (`rsi-enabled: True` and the best value is `29.0` (`rsi-value: 29.0`)
+
+You have to look inside your strategy file into `buy_strategy_generator()`
+method, what those values match to.
+
+So for example you had `rsi-value: 29.0` so we would look at `rsi`-block, that translates to the following code block:
+
+```python
+(dataframe['rsi'] < 29.0)
+```
+
+Translating your whole hyperopt result as the new buy-signal would then look like:
+
+```python
+def populate_buy_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (dataframe['rsi'] < 29.0) &  # rsi-value
+            dataframe['close'] < dataframe['bb_lowerband']  # trigger
+        ),
+        'buy'] = 1
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+### Validate backtesting results
+
+Once the optimized parameters and conditions have been implemented into your strategy, you should backtest the strategy to make sure everything is working as expected.
+
+To achieve same results (number of trades, their durations, profit, etc.) than during Hyperopt, please use same configuration and parameters (timerange, timeframe, ...) used for hyperopt `--dmmp`/`--disable-max-market-positions` and `--eps`/`--enable-position-stacking` for Backtesting.
+
+Should results don't match, please double-check to make sure you transferred all conditions correctly.
+Pay special care to the stoploss (and trailing stoploss) parameters, as these are often set in configuration files, which override changes to the strategy.
+You should also carefully review the log of your backtest to ensure that there were no parameters inadvertently set by the configuration (like `stoploss` or `trailing_stop`).
+
+### Sharing methods with your strategy
+
+Hyperopt classes provide access to the Strategy via the `strategy` class attribute.
+This can be a great way to reduce code duplication if used correctly, but will also complicate usage for inexperienced users.
+
+``` python
+from pandas import DataFrame
+from freqtrade.strategy.interface import IStrategy
+import freqtrade.vendor.qtpylib.indicators as qtpylib
+
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):

 There are several methods to configure how much of the stake currency the bot will use to enter a trade. All methods respect the [available balance configuration](#available-balance) as explained below.
 
+#### Minimum trade stake
+
+The minimum stake amount will depend by exchange and pair, and is usually listed in the exchange support pages.
+Assuming the minimum tradable amount for XRP/USD is 20 XRP (given by the exchange), and the price is 0.4$.
+
+The minimum stake amount to buy this pair is therefore `20 * 0.6 ~= 12`.
+This exchange has also a limit on USD - where all orders must be > 10$ - which however does not apply in this case.
+
+To guarantee safe execution, freqtrade will not allow buying with a stake-amount of 10.1$, instead, it'll make sure that there's enough space to place a stoploss below the pair (+ an offset, defined by `amount_reserve_percent`, which defaults to 5%).

+With a reserve of 5%, the minimum stake amount would be ~12.6$ (`12 * (1 + 0.05)`). If we take in account a stoploss of 10% on top of that - we'd end up with a value of ~14$ (`12.6 / (1 - 0.1)`).
+
+To limit this calculation in case of large stoploss values, the calculated minimum stake-limit will never be more than 50% above the real limit.

+The search will burn all your CPU cores, make your laptop sound like a fighter jet and still take a long time.
 
 In general, the search for best parameters starts with a few random combinations (see [below](#reproducible-results) for more details) and then uses Bayesian search with a ML regressor algorithm (currently ExtraTreesRegressor) to quickly find a combination of parameters in the search hyperspace that minimizes the value of the [loss function](#loss-functions).

 !!! Bug
     Hyperopt can crash when used with only 1 CPU Core as found out in [Issue #1133](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/issues/1133)
 
+!!! Note
+    Since 2021.4 release you no longer have to write a separate hyperopt class, but can configure the parameters directly in the strategy.
+    The legacy method is still supported, but it is no longer the recommended way of setting up hyperopt. 
+    The legacy documentation is available at [Legacy Hyperopt](advanced-hyperopt.md#legacy-hyperopt).

 ## Install hyperopt dependencies
 
 Since Hyperopt dependencies are not needed to run the bot itself, are heavy, can not be easily built on some platforms (like Raspberry PI), they are not installed by default. Before you run Hyperopt, you need to install the corresponding dependencies, as described in this section below.

+Hyperopt will first load your data into memory and will then run `populate_indicators()` once per Pair to generate all indicators.
 
-``` bash
-freqtrade new-hyperopt --hyperopt AwesomeHyperopt
-```
+Hyperopt will then spawn into different processes (number of processors, or `-j <n>`), and run backtesting over and over again, changing the parameters that are part of the `--spaces` defined.

+For every new set of parameters, freqtrade will run first `populate_buy_trend()` followed by `populate_sell_trend()`, and then run the regular backtesting process to simulate trades.
+
+After backtesting, the results are passed into the [loss function](#loss-functions), which will evaluate if this result was better or worse than previous results.  
+Based on the loss function result, hyperopt will determine the next set of parameters to try in the next round of backtesting.

     However, this guide will make this distinction to make it clear that signals should not be "sticking".
     Sticking signals are signals that are active for multiple candles. This can lead into buying a signal late (right before the signal disappears - which means that the chance of success is a lot lower than right at the beginning).

 #### Sell optimization
 
 Similar to the buy-signal above, sell-signals can also be optimized.

-* Within `sell_strategy_generator()` - populate the nested method `populate_sell_trend()` to apply the parameters.

-To avoid naming collisions in the search-space, please prefix all sell-spaces with `sell-`.

+## Parameter types
+
+There are four parameter types each suited for different purposes.
+
+* `IntParameter` - defines an integral parameter with upper and lower boundaries of search space.
+* `DecimalParameter` - defines a floating point parameter with a limited number of decimals (default 3). Should be preferred instead of `RealParameter` in most cases.

+* `CategoricalParameter` - defines a parameter with a predetermined number of choices.
+
+!!! Tip "Disabling parameter optimization"
+    Each parameter takes two boolean parameters:
+    * `load` - when set to `False` it will not load values configured in `buy_params` and `sell_params`.
+    * `optimize` - when set to `False` parameter will not be included in optimization process.

+
+Breaking it down:
+
+Using `self.buy_ema_short.range` will return a range object containing all entries between the Parameters low and high value.
+In this case (`IntParameter(3, 50, default=5)`), the loop would run for all numbers between 3 and 50 (`[3, 4, 5, ... 49, 50]`).
+By using this in a loop, hyperopt will generate 48 new columns (`['buy_ema_3', 'buy_ema_4', ... , 'buy_ema_50']`).
+
+Hyperopt itself will then use the selected value to create the buy and sell signals
+
+While this strategy is most likely too simple to provide consistent profit, it should serve as an example how optimize indicator parameters.
+
+!!! Note
+    `self.buy_ema_short.range` will act differently between hyperopt and other modes. For hyperopt, the above example may generate 48 new columns, however for all other modes (backtesting, dry/live), it will only generate the column for the selected value. You should therefore avoid using the resulting column with explicit values (values other than `self.buy_ema_short.value`).
+
+??? Hint "Performance tip"
+    By doing the calculation of all possible indicators in `populate_indicators()`, the calculation of the indicator happens only once for every parameter.  
+    While this may slow down the hyperopt startup speed, the overall performance will increase as the Hyperopt execution itself may pick the same value for multiple epochs (changing other values).
+    You should however try to use space ranges as small as possible. Every new column will require more memory, and every possibility hyperopt can try will increase the search space.

-
-By default, hyperopt emulates the behavior of the Freqtrade Live Run/Dry Run, where only one

-The initial state for generation of these random values (random state) is controlled by the value of the `--random-state` command line option. You can set it to some arbitrary value of your choice to obtain reproducible results.
-
-If you have not set this value explicitly in the command line options, Hyperopt seeds the random state with some random value for you.

+some potential trades to be hidden (or masked) by previously open trades.
+
+The `--eps`/`--enable-position-stacking` argument allows emulation of buying the same pair multiple times,
+while `--dmmp`/`--disable-max-market-positions` disables applying `max_open_trades`
+during Hyperopt/Backtesting (which is equal to setting `max_open_trades` to a very high
+number).
+
+!!! Note
+    Dry/live runs will **NOT** use position stacking - therefore it does make sense to also validate the strategy without this as it's closer to reality.
+
+You can also enable position stacking in the configuration file by explicitly setting
+`"position_stacking"=true`.
+
+## Out of Memory errors
+
+As hyperopt consumes a lot of memory (the complete data needs to be in memory once per parallel backtesting process), it's likely that you run into "out of memory" errors.
+To combat these, you have multiple options:
+
+* reduce the amount of pairs
+* reduce the timerange used (`--timerange <timerange>`)
+* reduce the number of parallel processes (`-j <n>`)
+* Increase the memory of your machine
+
 ## Show details of Hyperopt results
 
 After you run Hyperopt for the desired amount of epochs, you can later list all results for analysis, select only best or profitable once, and show the details for any of the epochs previously evaluated. This can be done with the `hyperopt-list` and `hyperopt-show` sub-commands. The usage of these sub-commands is described in the [Utils](utils.md#list-hyperopt-results) chapter.

     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.
 
+#### VolatilityFilter
+
+Volatility is the degree of historical variation of a pairs over time, is 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": [
+    {

+## Storing information
+
+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

+
+!!! 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.
+
+***
+
+### Storing custom information using DatetimeIndex from `dataframe`
+
+Imagine you need to store an indicator like `ATR` or `RSI` into `custom_info`. To use this in a meaningful way, you will not only need the raw data of the indicator, but probably also need to keep the right timestamps.

 ## Custom stoploss
 
-A stoploss can only ever move upwards - so if you set it to an absolute profit of 2%, you can never move it below this price.
-Also, the traditional `stoploss` value serves as an absolute lower level and will be instated as the initial stoploss.
+The 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.
 
 The usage of the custom stoploss method must be enabled by setting `use_custom_stoploss=True` on the strategy object.
-The method must return a stoploss value (float / number) with a relative ratio below the current price.
-E.g. `current_profit = 0.05` (5% profit) - stoploss returns `0.02` - then you "locked in" a profit of 3% (`0.05 - 0.02 = 0.03`).
+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:

-#### Absolute stoploss
+#### Calculating stoploss relative to open price
 
-The below example sets absolute profit levels based on the current profit.
+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()`.
+
+#### 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 > 40%, stoploss will be at 25%, locking in at least 25% of the profit.
-* Once profit is > 25% - stoploss will be 15%.
-* Once profit is > 20% - stoploss will be set to 7%.
+* 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.

 The url in `webhook.url` should point to the correct url for your webhook. If you're using [IFTTT](https://ifttt.com) (as shown in the sample above) please insert our event and key to the url.
 
+You can set the POST body format to Form-Encoded (default) or JSON-Encoded. Use `"format": "form"` or `"format": "json"` respectively. Example configuration for Mattermost Cloud integration:
+
+```json
+  "webhook": {
+        "enabled": true,
+        "url": "https://<YOURSUBDOMAIN>.cloud.mattermost.com/hooks/<YOURHOOK>",
+        "format": "json",
+        "webhookstatus": {
+            "text": "Status: {status}"
+        }
+    },
+```
+
+The result would be POST request with e.g. `{"text":"Status: running"}` body and `Content-Type: application/json` header which results `Status: running` message in the Mattermost channel.
+
 Different payloads can be configured for different events. Not all fields are necessary, but you should configure at least one of the dicts, otherwise the webhook will never be called.
