+# 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.
+
+To analyze the buy tags, we need to use the `buy_reasons.py` script from
+[froggleston's repo](https://github.com/froggleston/freqtrade-buyreasons). Follow the instructions
+in their README to copy the script into your `freqtrade/scripts/` folder.
+
+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.
+
+Now run the `buy_reasons.py` script, supplying a few options:
+
+``` bash
+python3 scripts/buy_reasons.py -c <config.json> -s <strategy_name> -t <timerange> -g0,1,2,3,4
+```
+
+The `-g` option is used to specify the various tabular outputs, ranging from the simplest (0)
+to the most detailed per pair, per buy and per sell tag (4). More options are available by
+running with the `-h` option.
+
+### 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 : Comma separated list of enter signals to analyse. Default: "all"
+--exit_reason_list : Comma separated list of exit signals to analyse. Default: "stop_loss,trailing_stop_loss"
+```
+
+For example:
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/buy_reasons.py -c <config.json> -s <strategy_name> -t <timerange> -g0,1,2,3,4 --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 the buy_reasons.py script 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
+python3 scripts/buy_reasons.py -c <config.json> -s <strategy_name> -t <timerange> -g0,1,2,3,4 --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"
+```
+
+The indicators have to be present in your strategy's main DataFrame (either for your main
+timeframe or for informative timeframes) otherwise they will simply be ignored in the script
+output.

+
+### 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.

-## 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.

+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
 - All orders are filled at the requested price (no slippage, no unfilled orders)
-- Sell-signal sells happen at open-price of the consecutive candle
-- Sell-signal is favored over Stoploss, because sell-signals are assumed to trigger on candle's open
+- 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, but the loss will be `2 * fees` higher than the stoploss price
-- Stoploss is evaluated before ROI within one candle. So you can often see more trades with the `stoploss` sell reason comparing to the results obtained with the same strategy in the Dry Run/Live Trade modes
+  - 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)
+  - 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
-- 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)
+- 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)
-  - ROI (if not stoploss)
-  - Sell-signal
+  - 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).

+The bot uses a set of configuration parameters during its operation that all together conform to the bot configuration. It normally reads its configuration from a file (Freqtrade configuration file).
 
 Per default, the bot loads the configuration from the `config.json` file, located in the current working directory.
 
-You can specify a different configuration file used by the bot with the `-c/--config` command line option.
+You can specify a different configuration file used by the bot with the `-c/--config` command-line option.
+
+If you used the [Quick start](installation.md/#quick-start) method for installing
+the bot, the installation script should have already created the default configuration file (`config.json`) for you.
+
+If the default configuration file is not created we recommend to use `freqtrade new-config --config config.json` to generate a basic configuration file.
+
+The Freqtrade configuration file is to be written in JSON format.
+
+Additionally to the standard JSON syntax, you may use one-line `// ...` and multi-line `/* ... */` comments in your configuration files and trailing commas in the lists of parameters.
+
+Do not worry if you are not familiar with JSON format -- simply open the configuration file with an editor of your choice, make some changes to the parameters you need, save your changes and, finally, restart the bot or, if it was previously stopped, run it again with the changes you made to the configuration. The bot validates the syntax of the configuration file at startup and will warn you if you made any errors editing it, pointing out problematic lines.
+
+### Environment variables
+
+Set options in the Freqtrade configuration via environment variables.
+This takes priority over the corresponding value in configuration or strategy.
+
+Environment variables must be prefixed with  `FREQTRADE__` to be loaded to the freqtrade configuration.
+
+`__` serves as level separator, so the format used should correspond to `FREQTRADE__{section}__{key}`.
+As such - an environment variable defined as  `export FREQTRADE__STAKE_AMOUNT=200` would result in `{stake_amount: 200}`.
+
+A more complex example might be `export FREQTRADE__EXCHANGE__KEY=<yourExchangeKey>` to keep your exchange key secret. This will move the value to the `exchange.key` section of the configuration.
+Using this scheme, all configuration settings will also be available as environment variables.
+
+Please note that Environment variables will overwrite corresponding settings in your configuration, but command line Arguments will always win.
+
+Common example:
+
+```
+FREQTRADE__TELEGRAM__CHAT_ID=<telegramchatid>
+FREQTRADE__TELEGRAM__TOKEN=<telegramToken>
+FREQTRADE__EXCHANGE__KEY=<yourExchangeKey>
+FREQTRADE__EXCHANGE__SECRET=<yourExchangeSecret>
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    Environment variables detected are logged at startup - so if you can't find why a value is not what you think it should be based on the configuration, make sure it's not loaded from an environment variable.
+
+### Multiple configuration files
 
 Multiple configuration files can be specified and used by the bot or the bot can read its configuration parameters from the process standard input stream.
 
+You can specify additional configuration files in `add_config_files`. Files specified in this parameter will be loaded and merged with the initial config file. The files are resolved relative to the initial configuration file.
+This is similar to using multiple `--config` parameters, but simpler in usage as you don't have to specify all files for all commands.
+
 !!! Tip "Use multiple configuration files to keep secrets secret"
     You can use a 2nd configuration file containing your secrets. That way you can share your "primary" configuration file, while still keeping your API keys for yourself.
 
-    ``` bash
-    freqtrade trade --config user_data/config.json --config user_data/config-private.json <...>
+    ``` json title="user_data/config.json"
+    "add_config_files": [
+        "config-private.json"
+    ]
     ```
+
+    ``` bash
+    freqtrade trade --config user_data/config.json <...>
+    ```
+
     The 2nd file should only specify what you intend to override.
     If a key is in more than one of the configurations, then the "last specified configuration" wins (in the above example, `config-private.json`).
 
-If you used the [Quick start](installation.md/#quick-start) method for installing 
-the bot, the installation script should have already created the default configuration file (`config.json`) for you.
+    For one-off commands, you can also use the below syntax by specifying multiple "--config" parameters.
 
-If default configuration file is not created we recommend you to use `freqtrade new-config --config config.json` to generate a basic configuration file.
+    ``` bash
+    freqtrade trade --config user_data/config.json --config user_data/config-private.json <...>
+    ```
 
-The Freqtrade configuration file is to be written in the JSON format.
+    This is equivalent to the example above - but `config-private.json` is specified as cli argument.
 
-Additionally to the standard JSON syntax, you may use one-line `// ...` and multi-line `/* ... */` comments in your configuration files and trailing commas in the lists of parameters.
+??? Note "config collision handling"
+    If the same configuration setting takes place in both `config.json` and `config-import.json`, then the parent configuration wins.
+    In the below case, `max_open_trades` would be 3 after the merging - as the reusable "import" configuration has this key overwritten.
 
-Do not worry if you are not familiar with JSON format -- simply open the configuration file with an editor of your choice, make some changes to the parameters you need, save your changes and, finally, restart the bot or, if it was previously stopped, run it again with the changes you made to the configuration. The bot validates syntax of the configuration file at startup and will warn you if you made any errors editing it, pointing out problematic lines.

 #### 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 will depend on exchange and pair and is usually listed in the exchange support pages.
 
-The minimum stake amount to buy this pair is therefore `20 * 0.6 ~= 12`.
+Assuming the minimum tradable amount for XRP/USD is 20 XRP (given by the exchange), and the price is 0.6$, the minimum stake amount to buy this pair is `20 * 0.6 ~= 12`.
 This exchange has also a limit on USD - where all orders must be > 10$ - 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)`).
+With a reserve of 5%, the minimum stake amount would be ~12.6$ (`12 * (1 + 0.05)`). If we take into 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.
 
 !!! Warning
-    Since the limits on exchanges are usually stable and are not updated often, some pairs can show pretty high minimum limits, simply because the price increased a lot since the last limit adjustment by the exchange.
+    Since the limits on exchanges are usually stable and are not updated often, some pairs can show pretty high minimum limits, simply because the price increased a lot since the last limit adjustment by the exchange. Freqtrade adjusts the stake-amount to this value, unless it's > 30% more than the calculated/desired stake-amount - in which case the trade is rejected.
 
-#### Available balance
+#### Tradable balance
 
 By default, the bot assumes that the `complete amount - 1%` is at it's disposal, and when using [dynamic stake amount](#dynamic-stake-amount), it will split the complete balance into `max_open_trades` buckets per trade.
 Freqtrade will reserve 1% for eventual fees when entering a trade and will therefore not touch that by default.
 
 You can configure the "untouched" amount by using the `tradable_balance_ratio` setting.
 
-For example, if you have 10 ETH available in your wallet on the exchange and `tradable_balance_ratio=0.5` (which is 50%), then the bot will use a maximum amount of 5 ETH for trading and considers this as available balance. The rest of the wallet is untouched by the trades.

-    The `tradable_balance_ratio` setting applies to the current balance (free balance + tied up in trades). Therefore, assuming the starting balance of 1000, a configuration with `tradable_balance_ratio=0.99` will not guarantee that 10 currency units will always remain available on the exchange. For example, the free amount may reduce to 5 units if the total balance is reduced to 500 (either by a losing streak, or by withdrawing balance).

+#### Assign available Capital
+
+To fully utilize compounding profits when using multiple bots on the same exchange account, you'll want to limit each bot to a certain starting balance.
+This can be accomplished by setting `available_capital` to the desired starting balance.
+
+Assuming your account has 10.000 USDT and you want to run 2 different strategies on this exchange.
+You'd set `available_capital=5000` - granting each bot an initial capital of 5000 USDT.
+The bot will then split this starting balance equally into `max_open_trades` buckets.
+Profitable trades will result in increased stake-sizes for this bot - without affecting the stake-sizes of the other bot.

+!!! Warning "Incompatible with `tradable_balance_ratio`"
+    Setting this option will replace any configuration of `tradable_balance_ratio`.

-    It is therefore important to set `dry_run_wallet` to a sensible value (like 0.05 or 0.01 for BTC and 1000 or 100 for USDT, for example), otherwise it may simulate trades with 100 BTC (or more) or 0.05 USDT (or less) at once - which may not correspond to your real available balance or is less than the exchange minimal limit for the order amount for the stake currency.

+Typical value would be in the range of 25% - 50% of the proposed stakes, but depends highly on your strategy and how much you wish to leave into the wallet as position adjustment buffer.
+
+For example if your position adjustment assumes it can do 2 additional buys with the same stake amounts then your buffer should be 66.6667% of the initially proposed unlimited stake amount.
+
+Or another example if your position adjustment assumes it can do 1 additional buy with 3x the original stake amount then `custom_stake_amount` should return 25% of proposed stake amount and leave 75% for possible later position adjustments.

-### 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 Bittrex, Binance and Kraken,
- so the these are the only officially supported exchanges:
-
-- [Bittrex](https://bittrex.com/): "bittrex"
-- [Binance](https://www.binance.com/): "binance"
-- [Kraken](https://kraken.com/): "kraken"
-
-Feel free to test other exchanges and submit your PR to improve the bot.
-
-Some exchanges require special configuration, which can be found on the [Exchange-specific Notes](exchanges.md) documentation page.
-
-#### 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": {"enableRateLimit": true},
-    "ccxt_async_config": {
-        "enableRateLimit": true,
-        "rateLimit": 200
-    },
-```
-
-This configuration enables binance, as well as rate limiting to avoid bans from the exchange.
-`"rateLimit": 200` defines a wait-event of 0.2s 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.
+    This is ongoing work. For now, it is supported only for binance and kucoin.
+    Please don't change the default value unless you know what you are doing and have researched the impact of using different values for your particular exchange.

+### Pairs file
+
+In alternative to the whitelist from `config.json`, a `pairs.json` file can be used.
+If you are using Binance for example:
+
+- create a directory `user_data/data/binance` and copy or create the `pairs.json` file in that directory.
+- update the `pairs.json` file to contain the currency pairs you are interested in.
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p user_data/data/binance
+touch user_data/data/binance/pairs.json
+```
+
+The format of the `pairs.json` file is a simple json list.
+Mixing different stake-currencies is allowed for this file, since it's only used for downloading.
+
+``` json
+[
+    "ETH/BTC",
+    "ETH/USDT",
+    "BTC/USDT",
+    "XRP/ETH"
+]
+```
+
+!!! Tip "Downloading all data for one quote currency"
+    Often, you'll want to download data for all pairs of a specific quote-currency. In such cases, you can use the following shorthand:
+    `freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs .*/USDT <...>`. The provided "pairs" string will be expanded to contain all active pairs on the exchange.
+    To also download data for inactive (delisted) pairs, add `--include-inactive-pairs` to the command.
+
+??? Note "Permission denied errors"
+    If your configuration directory `user_data` was made by docker, you may get the following error:
+
+    ```
+    cp: cannot create regular file 'user_data/data/binance/pairs.json': Permission denied
+    ```
+
+    You can fix the permissions of your user-data directory as follows:
+
+    ```
+    sudo chown -R $UID:$GID user_data
+    ```
+
+### Start download
+
+Then run:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade download-data --exchange binance
+```
+
+This will download historical candle (OHLCV) data for all the currency pairs you defined in `pairs.json`.
+
+Alternatively, specify the pairs directly
+
+```bash
+freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs ETH/USDT XRP/USDT BTC/USDT
+```
+
+or as regex (to download all active USDT pairs)
+
+```bash
+freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs .*/USDT
+```
+
+### Other Notes
+
+- To use a different directory than the exchange specific default, use `--datadir user_data/data/some_directory`.
+- 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.

-### Pairs file
-
-In alternative to the whitelist from `config.json`, a `pairs.json` file can be used.
-
-If you are using Binance for example:
-
-- create a directory `user_data/data/binance` and copy or create the `pairs.json` file in that directory.
-- update the `pairs.json` file to contain the currency pairs you are interested in.
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p user_data/data/binance
-cp tests/testdata/pairs.json user_data/data/binance
-```
-
-If you your configuration directory `user_data` was made by docker, you may get the following error:
-
-```
-cp: cannot create regular file 'user_data/data/binance/pairs.json': Permission denied
-```
-
-You can fix the permissions of your user-data directory as follows:
-
-```
-sudo chown -R $UID:$GID user_data
-```
-
-The format of the `pairs.json` file is a simple json list.
-Mixing different stake-currencies is allowed for this file, since it's only used for downloading.
-
-``` json
-[
-    "ETH/BTC",
-    "ETH/USDT",
-    "BTC/USDT",
-    "XRP/ETH"
-]
-```
-
-### Start download
-
-Then run:
-
-```bash
-freqtrade download-data --exchange binance
-```
-
-This will download historical candle (OHLCV) data for all the currency pairs you defined in `pairs.json`.
-
-### Other Notes
-
-- To use a different directory than the exchange specific default, use `--datadir user_data/data/some_directory`.
-- 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. Eventually set end dates are ignored.
-- 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.

 # 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
 
+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 trade 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": {

+  },
+  "exit_pricing": {
+      "use_order_book": true,
+      "order_book_top": 1
+  },

+!!! 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.

-### I want to improve the bot with a new strategy
+### Why does my bot not sell everything it bought?
 
-That's great. We have a nice backtesting and hyperoptimization setup. See 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.

+### 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).

+
 ??? 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.
 
+## Optimizing protections
+
+Freqtrade can also optimize protections. How you optimize protections is up to you, and the following should be considered as example only.
+
+The strategy will simply need to define the "protections" entry as property returning a list of protection configurations.
+
+``` python
+from pandas import DataFrame
+from functools import reduce
+

+

+    stop_duration = IntParameter(12, 200, default=5, space="protection", optimize=True)
+    use_stop_protection = BooleanParameter(default=True, space="protection", optimize=True)
+
+
+    @property
+    def protections(self):
+        prot = []
+
+        prot.append({
+            "method": "CooldownPeriod",
+            "stop_duration_candles": self.cooldown_lookback.value
+        })
+        if self.use_stop_protection.value:
+            prot.append({
+                "method": "StoplossGuard",
+                "lookback_period_candles": 24 * 3,
+                "trade_limit": 4,
+                "stop_duration_candles": self.stop_duration.value,

+        return prot
+
+    def populate_indicators(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+        # ...
+        
+```
+
+You can then run hyperopt as follows:
+`freqtrade hyperopt --hyperopt-loss SharpeHyperOptLossDaily --strategy MyAwesomeStrategy --spaces protection`
+
+!!! Note
+    The protection space is not part of the default space, and is only available with the Parameters Hyperopt interface, not with the legacy hyperopt interface (which required separate hyperopt files).
+    Freqtrade will also automatically change the "--enable-protections" flag if the protection space is selected.
+
+!!! Warning
+    If protections are defined as property, entries from the configuration will be ignored.
+    It is therefore recommended to not define protections in the configuration.
+
+### Migrating from previous property setups
+
+A migration from a previous setup is pretty simple, and can be accomplished by converting the protections entry to a property.
+In simple terms, the following configuration will be converted to the below.
+
+``` python
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    protections = [
+        {
+            "method": "CooldownPeriod",
+            "stop_duration_candles": 4
+        }
+    ]
+```
+
+Result
+
+``` python
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    
+    @property
+    def protections(self):
+        return [
+            {
+                "method": "CooldownPeriod",
+                "stop_duration_candles": 4
+            }
+        ]
+```
+
+You will then obviously also change potential interesting entries to parameters to allow hyper-optimization.
+
+### Optimizing `max_entry_position_adjustment`
+
+While `max_entry_position_adjustment` is not a separate space, it can still be used in hyperopt by using the property approach shown above.
+
+``` python
+from pandas import DataFrame
+from functools import reduce
+
+import talib.abstract as ta
+
+from freqtrade.strategy import (BooleanParameter, CategoricalParameter, DecimalParameter, 
+                                IStrategy, IntParameter)
+import freqtrade.vendor.qtpylib.indicators as qtpylib
+
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    stoploss = -0.05
+    timeframe = '15m'
+
+    # Define the parameter spaces
+    max_epa = CategoricalParameter([-1, 0, 1, 3, 5, 10], default=1, space="buy", optimize=True)
+
+    @property
+    def max_entry_position_adjustment(self):
+        return self.max_epa.value
+        
+
+    def populate_indicators(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+        # ...
+```
+
+??? Tip "Using `IntParameter`"
+    You can also use the `IntParameter` for this optimization, but you must explicitly return an integer:
+    ``` python
+    max_epa = IntParameter(-1, 10, default=1, space="buy", optimize=True)

+    @property
+    def max_entry_position_adjustment(self):

 #### 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.
+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:

-}],
+    }
+],
+```
+
+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,

+        "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",

+            "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": [
+    {

+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.

+# 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
+
+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"
+```
+
+## 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

-For example you could implement a 1:2 risk-reward ROI with `custom_sell()`.
-
-Using custom_sell() signals in place of stoplosses 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 `string` or `True` from this method is equal to setting sell signal on a candle at specified time. This method is not called when sell signal is set already, or if sell signals are disabled (`use_sell_signal=False` or `sell_profit_only=True` while profit is below `sell_profit_offset`). `string` max length is 64 characters. Exceeding this limit will cause the message to be truncated to 64 characters.
-
-An example of how we can use different indicators depending on the current profit and also sell trades that were open longer than one day:
-
-``` python
-class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
-    def custom_sell(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'
-```

-## Custom 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) 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 ask_strategy.
-        :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 inital stoploss to keep using the inital stoploss
-
-        # After reaching the desired offset, allow the stoploss to trail by half the profit
-        desired_stoploss = current_profit / 2
-
-        # Use a minimum of 2.5% and a maximum of 5%
-        return max(min(desired_stoploss, 0.05), 0.025)
-```
-
-#### Calculating 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()`.
-
-#### 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
-
-    use_custom_stoploss = True
-
-    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
-                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
-
-        # evaluate highest to lowest, so that highest possible stop is used
-        if current_profit > 0.40:
-            return stoploss_from_open(0.25, current_profit)
-        elif current_profit > 0.25:
-            return stoploss_from_open(0.15, current_profit)
-        elif current_profit > 0.20:
-            return stoploss_from_open(0.07, current_profit)
-
-        # 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
-```

-## 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
-    Unfilled order timeouts are not relevant during backtesting or hyperopt, and are only relevant during real (live) trading. Therefore these methods are only called in these circumstances.
-
-### Custom order timeout example
-
-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, timezone
-from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
-
-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:
-        if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(minutes=5):
-            return True
-        elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(minutes=3):
-            return True
-        elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(hours=24):
-           return True
-        return False
-
-
-    def check_sell_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:
-        if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(minutes=5):
-            return True
-        elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(minutes=3):
-            return True
-        elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - 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
-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.
 
-## Bot loop start callback
+!!! Note
+    `exit_reason` is limited to 100 characters, remaining data will be truncated.
 
-A simple callback which is called once at the start of every bot throttling iteration.
-This can be used to perform calculations which are pair independent (apply to all pairs), loading of external data, etc.

+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
+
+    use_custom_stoploss = True
+
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        # evaluate highest to lowest, so that highest possible stop is used
+        if current_profit > 0.40:
+            return stoploss_from_open(0.25, current_profit, is_short=trade.is_short)
+        elif current_profit > 0.25:
+            return stoploss_from_open(0.15, current_profit, is_short=trade.is_short)
+        elif current_profit > 0.20:
+            return stoploss_from_open(0.07, current_profit, is_short=trade.is_short)
+
+        # 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

+
+`confirm_trade_exit()` may be called multiple times within one iteration for the same trade if different exit-reasons apply.

+
+!!! 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.

     Some common patterns for this are listed in the [Common Mistakes](#common-mistakes-when-developing-strategies) section of this document.
 
+### Dataframe
+
+Freqtrade uses [pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/) to store/provide the candlestick (OHLCV) data.
+Pandas is a great library developed for processing large amounts of data.
+
+Each row in a dataframe corresponds to one candle on a chart, with the latest candle always being the last in the dataframe (sorted by date).
+
+``` output
+> dataframe.head()
+                       date      open      high       low     close     volume
+0 2021-11-09 23:25:00+00:00  67279.67  67321.84  67255.01  67300.97   44.62253

+2 2021-11-09 23:35:00+00:00  67187.02  67187.02  67031.93  67123.81  113.42728

+```
+
+Pandas provides fast ways to calculate metrics. To benefit from this speed, it's advised to not use loops, but use vectorized methods instead.
+
+Vectorized operations perform calculations across the whole range of data and are therefore, compared to looping through each row, a lot faster when calculating indicators.
+
+As a dataframe is a table, simple python comparisons like the following will not work
+
+``` python
+    if dataframe['rsi'] > 30:
+        dataframe['enter_long'] = 1
+```
+
+The above section will fail with `The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. [...]`.
+
+This must instead be written in a pandas-compatible way, so the operation is performed across the whole dataframe.
+
+``` python
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (dataframe['rsi'] > 30)
+    , 'enter_long'] = 1
+```
+
+With this section, you have a new column in your dataframe, which has `1` assigned whenever RSI is above 30.
+

+!!! Note
+    Providing invalid input to `stoploss_from_open()` may produce "CustomStoploss function did not return valid stoploss" warnings.
+    This may happen if `current_profit` parameter is below specified `open_relative_stop`. Such situations may arise when closing trade
+    is blocked by `confirm_trade_exit()` method. Warnings can be solved by never blocking stop loss sells by checking `exit_reason` in

+    `current_profit < open_relative_stop`.

 ## Common mistakes when developing strategies
 
+### Peeking into the future while backtesting
+
 Backtesting analyzes the whole time-range at once for performance reasons. Because of this, strategy authors need to make sure that strategies do not look-ahead into the future.
 This is a common pain-point, which can cause huge differences between backtesting and dry/live run methods, since they all use data which is not available during dry/live runs, so these strategies will perform well during backtesting, but will fail / perform badly in real conditions.
 
@@ -791,9 +1086,18 @@ The following lists some common patterns which should be avoided to prevent frus
 - don't use `dataframe['volume'].mean()`. This uses the full DataFrame for backtesting, including data from the future. Use `dataframe['volume'].rolling(<window>).mean()` instead
 - don't use `.resample('1h')`. This uses the left border of the interval, so moves data from an hour to the start of the hour. Use `.resample('1h', label='right')` instead.
 
+### Colliding signals
+
+When conflicting signals collide (e.g. both `'enter_long'` and `'exit_long'` are 1), freqtrade will do nothing and ignore the entry signal. This will avoid trades that enter, and exit immediately. Obviously, this can potentially lead to missed entries.
+
+The following rules apply, and entry signals will be ignored if more than one of the 3 signals is set:
+
+- `enter_long` -> `exit_long`, `enter_short`
+- `enter_short` -> `exit_short`, `enter_long`

+## 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')

+
+#### `order_time_in_force`
+
+`order_time_in_force` attributes changed from `"buy"` to `"entry"` and `"sell"` to `"exit"`.
+
+``` python

+
+#### `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 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.

-## List Strategies and List Hyperopts
-
-Use the `list-strategies` subcommand to see all strategies in one particular directory and the `list-hyperopts` subcommand to list custom Hyperopts.
-
-These subcommands are useful for finding problems in your environment with loading strategies or hyperopt classes: modules with strategies or hyperopt classes that contain errors and failed to load are printed in red (LOAD FAILED), while strategies or hyperopt classes with duplicate names are printed in yellow (DUPLICATE NAME).

+Optional parameters are available to enable automatic retries for webhook messages. The `webhook.retries` parameter can be set for the maximum number of retries the webhook request should attempt if it is unsuccessful (i.e. HTTP response status is not 200). By default this is set to `0` which is disabled. An additional `webhook.retry_delay` parameter can be set to specify the time in seconds between retry attempts. By default this is set to `0.1` (i.e. 100ms). Note that increasing the number of retries or retry delay may slow down the trader if there are connectivity issues with the webhook. Example configuration for retries:
+
+```json
+  "webhook": {
+        "enabled": true,
+        "url": "https://<YOURHOOKURL>",
+        "retries": 3,
+        "retry_delay": 0.2,
+        "webhookstatus": {
+            "status": "Status: {status}"
+        }
+    },
+```
 
 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.
