+
+### 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():
+            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():
+            from skopt.learning import ExtraTreesRegressor
+            # Corresponds to "ET" - but allows additional parameters.
+            return ExtraTreesRegressor(n_estimators=100)
+
+```
+
+!!! 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 (0.7722%). 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.

Remember, you can separate your configuration into multiple files, so it's a good idea to think about making them modular, then if you need to edit something common to all bots, you can do that in a single config file.

 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).
+One big limitation of backtesting is it's inability to know how prices moved intra-candle (was high before close, or viceversa?).
-You can then load the trades to perform further analysis as shown in our [data analysis](data-analysis.md#backtesting) backtesting section.
+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_sell()`, `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).

-### 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 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.

+### 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

+    "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. 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.

 This page combines common gotchas and informations 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 supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses stop-loss-limit orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it.

+
+!!! Warning
+    OKEX only provides 100 candles per api call. Therefore, the strategy will only have a pretty low amount of data available in backtesting mode.

+
+Gate.io allows the use of `POINT` to pay for fees. As this is not a tradable currency (no regular market available), automatic fee calculations will fail (and default to a fee of 0).

 Yes. You can edit your config and use the `/reload_config` command to reload the configuration. The bot will stop, reload the configuration and strategy and will restart with the new configuration and strategy.
 
-### 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.

 Irrespectively of the reason, Freqtrade will fill up these candles with "empty" candles, where open, high, low and close are set to the previous candle close - and volume is empty. In a chart, this will look like a `_` - and is aligned with how exchanges usually represent 0 volume candles.
 
+### I'm getting "Outdated history for pair xxx" in the log
+
+The bot is trying to tell you that it got an outdated last candle (not the last complete candle).
+As a consequence, Freqtrade will not enter a trade for this pair - as trading on old information is usually not what is desired.
+
+This warning can point to one of the below problems:
+
+* Exchange downtime -> Check your exchange status page / blog / twitter feed for details.
+* Wrong system time -> Ensure your system-time is correct.
+* Barely traded pair -> Check the pair on the exchange webpage, look at the timeframe your strategy uses. If the pair does not have any volume in some candles (usually visualized with a "volume 0" bar, and a "_" as candle), this pair did not have any trades in this timeframe. These pairs should ideally be avoided, as they can cause problems with order-filling.

 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:

 !!! 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.

-
-!!! 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.

-``` 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)
-```
-
-#### 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
-

-                        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 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.
 
 !!! 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.
+    `sell_reason` is limited to 100 characters, remaining data will be truncated.
 
-### Custom order entry and exit price example
+## Strategy version
+
+You can implement custom strategy versioning by using the "version" method, and returning the version you would like this strategy to have.
 
 ``` python
-from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone
+def version(self) -> str:
-from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+    """
-
+    Returns version of the strategy.
-class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    """
-
+    return "1.1"
-    # ... populate_* methods
-
-    def custom_entry_price(self, pair: str, current_time: datetime,
-                           proposed_rate, **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, **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.
-
-!!! Warning "No backtesting support"
-    Custom entry-prices are currently not supported during backtesting.
-
-## 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.
+    You should make sure to implement proper version control (like a git repository) alongside this, as freqtrade will not keep historic versions of your strategy, so it's up to the user to be able to eventually roll back to a prior version of the strategy.

-
-        # 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 acton will be logged.
-
-!!! Tip
-    Returning `0` or `None` will prevent trades from being placed.

+When executing a strategy, one can sometimes be greeted by the following in the logs
+
+> PerformanceWarning: DataFrame is highly fragmented.

+This is a warning from [`pandas`](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas) and as the warning continues to say:
+use `pd.concat(axis=1)`.
+This can have slight performance implications, which are usually only visible during hyperopt (when optimizing an indicator).
+
+For example:
+
+```python
+for val in self.buy_ema_short.range:
+    dataframe[f'ema_short_{val}'] = ta.EMA(dataframe, timeperiod=val)
+```
+
+should be rewritten to

+# Strategy Callbacks
+
+While the main strategy functions (`populate_indicators()`, `populate_buy_trend()`, `populate_sell_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:
+

+            self.remote_data = requests.get('https://some_remote_source.example.com')
+
+```
+
+## Custom Stake size
+
+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,
+                            **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 acton will be logged.
+
+!!! Tip
+    Returning `0` or `None` will prevent trades from being placed.
+
+## Custom sell signal
+
+Called for open trade every throttling iteration (roughly every 5 seconds) until a trade is closed.
+
+Allows to define custom sell signals, indicating that specified position should be sold. This is very useful when we need to customize sell 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_sell()`.
+
+Using custom_sell() 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 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'
+```
+
+See [Dataframe access](strategy-advanced.md#dataframe-access) for more information about dataframe use in strategy callbacks.
+
+## Custom stoploss
+
+Called for open trade every throttling 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).
+
+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 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)
+        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
+```
+
+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, **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, **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"
+    While Custom prices are supported in backtesting (starting with 2021.12), prices will be moved to within the candle's high/low prices.
+    This behavior is currently being tested, and might be changed at a later point.
+    `custom_exit_price()` is only called for sells of type Sell_signal and Custom sell. All other sell-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
+    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
+
+Called for every open order until that order is either filled or cancelled.
+`check_buy_timeout()` is called for trade entries, while `check_sell_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, timezone
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    # Set unfilledtimeout to 25 hours, since the 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.
+
+### Custom order timeout example (using additional data)
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade

+    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

+        # Cancel sell order if price is more than 2% below the order.
+        if current_price < order['price'] * 0.98:
+            return True
+        return False

+Confirm trade entry / exits.
+This are the last methods that will be called before an order is placed.

+
+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).

+```
+
+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['buy'] = 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)
+    , 'buy'] = 1
+```
+
+With this section, you have a new column in your dataframe, which has `1` assigned whenever RSI is above 30.

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.
