+# Advanced Backtesting Analysis
+
+## Analyze the buy/entry and sell/exit tags
+
+It can be helpful to understand how a strategy behaves according to the buy/entry tags used to
+mark up different buy conditions. You might want to see more complex statistics about each buy and
+sell condition above those provided by the default backtesting output. You may also want to
+determine indicator values on the signal candle that resulted in a trade opening.
+
+!!! Note
+    The following buy reason analysis is only available for backtesting, *not hyperopt*.
+
+We need to run backtesting with the `--export` option set to `signals` to enable the exporting of
+signals **and** trades:
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade backtesting -c <config.json> --timeframe <tf> --strategy <strategy_name> --timerange=<timerange> --export=signals
+```
+
+This will tell freqtrade to output a pickled dictionary of strategy, pairs and corresponding
+DataFrame of the candles that resulted in buy signals. Depending on how many buys your strategy
+makes, this file may get quite large, so periodically check your `user_data/backtest_results`
+folder to delete old exports.
+
+Before running your next backtest, make sure you either delete your old backtest results or run
+backtesting with the `--cache none` option to make sure no cached results are used.
+
+If all goes well, you should now see a `backtest-result-{timestamp}_signals.pkl` file in the
+`user_data/backtest_results` folder.
+
+To analyze the entry/exit tags, we now need to use the `freqtrade backtesting-analysis` command
+with `--analysis-groups` option provided with space-separated arguments (default `0 1 2`):
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade backtesting-analysis -c <config.json> --analysis-groups 0 1 2 3 4 5
+```
+
+This command will read from the last backtesting results. The `--analysis-groups` option is
+used to specify the various tabular outputs showing the profit fo each group or trade,
+ranging from the simplest (0) to the most detailed per pair, per buy and per sell tag (4):
+
+* 1: profit summaries grouped by enter_tag
+* 2: profit summaries grouped by enter_tag and exit_tag
+* 3: profit summaries grouped by pair and enter_tag
+* 4: profit summaries grouped by pair, enter_ and exit_tag (this can get quite large)
+* 5: profit summaries grouped by exit_tag
+
+More options are available by running with the `-h` option.
+
+### Using export-filename
+
+Normally, `backtesting-analysis` uses the latest backtest results, but if you wanted to go
+back to a previous backtest output, you need to supply the `--export-filename` option.
+You can supply the same parameter to `backtest-analysis` with the name of the final backtest
+output file. This allows you to keep historical versions of backtest results and re-analyse
+them at a later date:
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade backtesting -c <config.json> --timeframe <tf> --strategy <strategy_name> --timerange=<timerange> --export=signals --export-filename=/tmp/mystrat_backtest.json
+```
+
+You should see some output similar to below in the logs with the name of the timestamped
+filename that was exported:
+
+```
+2022-06-14 16:28:32,698 - freqtrade.misc - INFO - dumping json to "/tmp/mystrat_backtest-2022-06-14_16-28-32.json"
+```
+
+You can then use that filename in `backtesting-analysis`:
+
+```
+freqtrade backtesting-analysis -c <config.json> --export-filename=/tmp/mystrat_backtest-2022-06-14_16-28-32.json
+```
+
+### Tuning the buy tags and sell tags to display
+
+To show only certain buy and sell tags in the displayed output, use the following two options:
+
+```
+--enter-reason-list : Space-separated list of enter signals to analyse. Default: "all"
+--exit-reason-list : Space-separated list of exit signals to analyse. Default: "all"
+```
+
+For example:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting-analysis -c <config.json> --analysis-groups 0 2 --enter-reason-list enter_tag_a enter_tag_b --exit-reason-list roi custom_exit_tag_a stop_loss
+```
+
+### Outputting signal candle indicators
+
+The real power of `freqtrade backtesting-analysis` comes from the ability to print out the indicator
+values present on signal candles to allow fine-grained investigation and tuning of buy signal
+indicators. To print out a column for a given set of indicators, use the `--indicator-list`
+option:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting-analysis -c <config.json> --analysis-groups 0 2 --enter-reason-list enter_tag_a enter_tag_b --exit-reason-list roi custom_exit_tag_a stop_loss --indicator-list rsi rsi_1h bb_lowerband ema_9 macd macdsignal
+```
+
+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.
+
+### Filtering the trade output by date
+
+To show only trades between dates within your backtested timerange, supply the usual `timerange` option in `YYYYMMDD-[YYYYMMDD]` format:
+
+```
+--timerange : Timerange to filter output trades, start date inclusive, end date exclusive. e.g. 20220101-20221231
+```
+
+For example, if your backtest timerange was `20220101-20221231` but you only want to output trades in January:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting-analysis -c <config.json> --timerange 20220101-20220201
+```

+- Exchange [trading limits](#trading-limits-in-backtesting) are respected
+- Entries 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

-  - 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

 - 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
+  - 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.

 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.
 
-### Improved backtest accuracy
+### Trading limits in backtesting
+
+Exchanges have certain trading limits, like minimum (and maximum) base currency, or minimum/maximum stake (quote) currency.
+These limits are usually listed in the exchange documentation as "trading rules" or similar and can be quite different between different pairs.
+
+Backtesting (as well as live and dry-run) does honor these limits, and will ensure that a stoploss can be placed below this value - so the value will be slightly higher than what the exchange specifies.
+Freqtrade has however no information about historic limits.
+
+This can lead to situations where trading-limits are inflated by using a historic price, resulting in minimum amounts > 50$.
+
+For example:
+
+BTC minimum tradable amount is 0.001.

+However the limit could also be 50$ - based on `0.001 * 50_000` in some historic setting.
+
+#### Trading precision limits
+
+Most exchanges pose precision limits on both price and amounts, so you cannot buy 1.0020401 of a pair, or at a price of 1.24567123123.  
+Instead, these prices and amounts will be rounded or truncated (based on the exchange definition) to the defined trading precision.
+The above values may for example be rounded to an amount of 1.002, and a price of 1.24567.
+
+These precision values are based on current exchange limits (as described in the [above section](#trading-limits-in-backtesting)), as historic precision limits are not available.
+
+## Improved backtest accuracy
 
 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).

 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.

-    freqtrade trade --config user_data/config.json --config user_data/config-private.json <...>

+- 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.

 ### Data format
 
-Freqtrade currently supports 3 data-formats for both OHLCV and trades data:
+Freqtrade currently supports the following data-formats:
 
-* `json` (plain "text" json files)
-* `jsongz` (a gzip-zipped version of json files)
-* `hdf5` (a high performance datastore)
+* `json` -  plain "text" json files
+* `jsongz` - a gzip-zipped version of json files
+* `hdf5` - a high performance datastore
+* `feather` - a dataformat based on Apache Arrow (OHLCV only)
+* `parquet` - columnar datastore (OHLCV only)
 
 By default, OHLCV data is stored as `json` data, while trades data is stored as `jsongz` data.
 
 This can be changed via the `--data-format-ohlcv` and `--data-format-trades` command line arguments respectively.

+
+Notice how the `feature_engineering_*()` is where [features](freqai-feature-engineering.md#feature-engineering) are added. Meanwhile `set_freqai_targets()` adds the labels/targets. A full example strategy is available in `templates/FreqaiExampleStrategy.py`.
+
+!!! Note
+    The `self.freqai.start()` function cannot be called outside the `populate_indicators()`.
+
+!!! Note
+    Features **must** be defined in `feature_engineering_*()`. Defining FreqAI features in `populate_indicators()`
+    will cause the algorithm to fail in live/dry mode. In order to add generalized features that are not associated with a specific pair or timeframe, you should use `feature_engineering_standard()`
+    (as exemplified in `freqtrade/templates/FreqaiExampleStrategy.py`).
+
+## Important dataframe key patterns
+
+Below are the values you can expect to include/use inside a typical strategy dataframe (`df[]`):
+
+|  DataFrame Key | Description |
+|------------|-------------|
+| `df['&*']` | Any dataframe column prepended with `&` in `set_freqai_targets()` is treated as a training target (label) inside FreqAI (typically following the naming convention `&-s*`). For example, to predict the close price 40 candles into the future, you would set `df['&-s_close'] = df['close'].shift(-self.freqai_info["feature_parameters"]["label_period_candles"])` with `"label_period_candles": 40` in the config. FreqAI makes the predictions and gives them back under the same key (`df['&-s_close']`) to be used in `populate_entry/exit_trend()`. <br> **Datatype:** Depends on the output of the model.
+| `df['&*_std/mean']` | Standard deviation and mean values of the defined labels during training (or live tracking with `fit_live_predictions_candles`). Commonly used to understand the rarity of a prediction (use the z-score as shown in `templates/FreqaiExampleStrategy.py` and explained [here](#creating-a-dynamic-target-threshold) to evaluate how often a particular prediction was observed during training or historically with `fit_live_predictions_candles`). <br> **Datatype:** Float.
+| `df['do_predict']` | Indication of an outlier data point. The return value is integer between -2 and 2, which lets you know if the prediction is trustworthy or not. `do_predict==1` means that the prediction is trustworthy. If the Dissimilarity Index (DI, see details [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-with-the-dissimilarity-index-di)) of the input data point is above the threshold defined in the config, FreqAI will subtract 1 from `do_predict`, resulting in `do_predict==0`. If `use_SVM_to_remove_outliers()` is active, the Support Vector Machine (SVM, see details [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-using-a-support-vector-machine-svm)) may also detect outliers in training and prediction data. In this case, the SVM will also subtract 1 from `do_predict`. If the input data point was considered an outlier by the SVM but not by the DI, or vice versa, the result will be `do_predict==0`. If both the DI and the SVM considers the input data point to be an outlier, the result will be `do_predict==-1`. As with the SVM, if `use_DBSCAN_to_remove_outliers` is active, DBSCAN (see details [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-with-dbscan)) may also detect outliers and subtract 1 from `do_predict`. Hence, if both the SVM and DBSCAN are active and identify a datapoint that was above the DI threshold as an outlier, the result will be `do_predict==-2`. A particular case is when `do_predict == 2`, which means that the model has expired due to exceeding `expired_hours`. <br> **Datatype:** Integer between -2 and 2.
+| `df['DI_values']` | Dissimilarity Index (DI) values are proxies for the level of confidence FreqAI has in the prediction. A lower DI means the prediction is close to the training data, i.e., higher prediction confidence. See details about the DI [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-with-the-dissimilarity-index-di). <br> **Datatype:** Float.
+| `df['%*']` | Any dataframe column prepended with `%` in `feature_engineering_*()` is treated as a training feature. For example, you can include the RSI in the training feature set (similar to in `templates/FreqaiExampleStrategy.py`) by setting `df['%-rsi']`. See more details on how this is done [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md). <br> **Note:** Since the number of features prepended with `%` can multiply very quickly (10s of thousands of features are easily engineered using the multiplictative functionality of, e.g., `include_shifted_candles` and `include_timeframes` as described in the [parameter table](freqai-parameter-table.md)), these features are removed from the dataframe that is returned from FreqAI to the strategy. To keep a particular type of feature for plotting purposes, you would prepend it with `%%`. <br> **Datatype:** Depends on the output of the model.
+
+## Setting the `startup_candle_count`
+
+The `startup_candle_count` in the FreqAI strategy needs to be set up in the same way as in the standard Freqtrade strategy (see details [here](strategy-customization.md#strategy-startup-period)). This value is used by Freqtrade to ensure that a sufficient amount of data is provided when calling the `dataprovider`, to avoid any NaNs at the beginning of the first training. You can easily set this value by identifying the longest period (in candle units) which is passed to the indicator creation functions (e.g., TA-Lib functions). In the presented example, `startup_candle_count` is 20 since this is the maximum value in `indicators_periods_candles`.
+
+!!! Note
+    There are instances where the TA-Lib functions actually require more data than just the passed `period` or else the feature dataset gets populated with NaNs. Anecdotally, multiplying the `startup_candle_count` by 2 always leads to a fully NaN free training dataset. Hence, it is typically safest to multiply the expected `startup_candle_count` by 2. Look out for this log message to confirm that the data is clean:
+
+    ```
+    2022-08-31 15:14:04 - freqtrade.freqai.data_kitchen - INFO - dropped 0 training points due to NaNs in populated dataset 4319.
+    ```
+
+## Creating a dynamic target threshold
+
+Deciding when to enter or exit a trade can be done in a dynamic way to reflect current market conditions. FreqAI allows you to return additional information from the training of a model (more info [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#returning-additional-info-from-training)). For example, the `&*_std/mean` return values describe the statistical distribution of the target/label *during the most recent training*. Comparing a given prediction to these values allows you to know the rarity of the prediction. In `templates/FreqaiExampleStrategy.py`, the `target_roi` and  `sell_roi` are defined to be 1.25 z-scores away from the mean which causes predictions that are closer to the mean to be filtered out.
+
+```python
+dataframe["target_roi"] = dataframe["&-s_close_mean"] + dataframe["&-s_close_std"] * 1.25
+dataframe["sell_roi"] = dataframe["&-s_close_mean"] - dataframe["&-s_close_std"] * 1.25
+```
+
+To consider the population of *historical predictions* for creating the dynamic target instead of information from the training as discussed above, you would set `fit_live_predictions_candles` in the config to the number of historical prediction candles you wish to use to generate target statistics.
+
+```json
+    "freqai": {
+        "fit_live_predictions_candles": 300,
+    }
+```
+
+If this value is set, FreqAI will initially use the predictions from the training data and subsequently begin introducing real prediction data as it is generated. FreqAI will save this historical data to be reloaded if you stop and restart a model with the same `identifier`.
+
+## Using different prediction models
+
+FreqAI has multiple example prediction model libraries that are ready to be used as is via the flag `--freqaimodel`. These libraries include `CatBoost`, `LightGBM`, and `XGBoost` regression, classification, and multi-target models, and can be found in `freqai/prediction_models/`.
+
+Regression and classification models differ in what targets they predict - a regression model will predict a target of continuous values, for example what price BTC will be at tomorrow, whilst a classifier will predict a target of discrete values, for example if the price of BTC will go up tomorrow or not. This means that you have to specify your targets differently depending on which model type you are using (see details [below](#setting-model-targets)).
+
+All of the aforementioned model libraries implement gradient boosted decision tree algorithms. They all work on the principle of ensemble learning, where predictions from multiple simple learners are combined to get a final prediction that is more stable and generalized. The simple learners in this case are decision trees. Gradient boosting refers to the method of learning, where each simple learner is built in sequence - the subsequent learner is used to improve on the error from the previous learner. If you want to learn more about the different model libraries you can find the information in their respective docs:
+
+* CatBoost: https://catboost.ai/en/docs/
+* LightGBM: https://lightgbm.readthedocs.io/en/v3.3.2/#
+* XGBoost: https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#
+
+There are also numerous online articles describing and comparing the algorithms. Some relatively lightweight examples would be [CatBoost vs. LightGBM vs. XGBoost — Which is the best algorithm?](https://towardsdatascience.com/catboost-vs-lightgbm-vs-xgboost-c80f40662924#:~:text=In%20CatBoost%2C%20symmetric%20trees%2C%20or,the%20same%20depth%20can%20differ.) and [XGBoost, LightGBM or CatBoost — which boosting algorithm should I use?](https://medium.com/riskified-technology/xgboost-lightgbm-or-catboost-which-boosting-algorithm-should-i-use-e7fda7bb36bc). Keep in mind that the performance of each model is highly dependent on the application and so any reported metrics might not be true for your particular use of the model.
+
+Apart from the models already available in FreqAI, it is also possible to customize and create your own prediction models using the `IFreqaiModel` class. You are encouraged to inherit `fit()`, `train()`, and `predict()` to customize various aspects of the training procedures. You can place custom FreqAI models in `user_data/freqaimodels` - and freqtrade will pick them up from there based on the provided `--freqaimodel` name - which has to correspond to the class name of your custom model.
+Make sure to use unique names to avoid overriding built-in models.
+
+### Setting model targets
+
+#### Regressors
+
+If you are using a regressor, you need to specify a target that has continuous values. FreqAI includes a variety of regressors, such as the `CatboostRegressor`via the flag `--freqaimodel CatboostRegressor`. An example of how you could set a regression target for predicting the price 100 candles into the future would be
+
+```python
+df['&s-close_price'] = df['close'].shift(-100)
+```
+
+If you want to predict multiple targets, you need to define multiple labels using the same syntax as shown above.
+
+#### Classifiers
+
+If you are using a classifier, you need to specify a target that has discrete values. FreqAI includes a variety of classifiers, such as the `CatboostClassifier` via the flag `--freqaimodel CatboostClassifier`. If you elects to use a classifier, the classes need to be set using strings. For example, if you want to predict if the price 100 candles into the future goes up or down you would set
+
+```python
+df['&s-up_or_down'] = np.where( df["close"].shift(-100) > df["close"], 'up', 'down')
+```
+
+If you want to predict multiple targets you must specify all labels in the same label column. You could, for example, add the label `same` to define where the price was unchanged by setting
+
+```python
+df['&s-up_or_down'] = np.where( df["close"].shift(-100) > df["close"], 'up', 'down')
+df['&s-up_or_down'] = np.where( df["close"].shift(-100) == df["close"], 'same', df['&s-up_or_down'])
+```
+
+## PyTorch Module
+
+### Quick start
+
+The easiest way to quickly run a pytorch model is with the following command (for regression task):
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade --config config_examples/config_freqai.example.json --strategy FreqaiExampleStrategy --freqaimodel PyTorchMLPRegressor --strategy-path freqtrade/templates 
+```
+
+!!! note "Installation/docker"
+    The PyTorch module requires large packages such as `torch`, which should be explicitly requested during `./setup.sh -i` by answering "y" to the question "Do you also want dependencies for freqai-rl or PyTorch (~700mb additional space required) [y/N]?".
+    Users who prefer docker should ensure they use the docker image appended with `_freqaitorch`.
+
+### Structure
+
+#### Model
+
+You can construct your own Neural Network architecture in PyTorch by simply defining your `nn.Module` class inside your custom [`IFreqaiModel` file](#using-different-prediction-models) and then using that class in your `def train()` function. Here is an example of logistic regression model implementation using PyTorch (should be used with nn.BCELoss criterion) for classification tasks.
+
+```python
+
+class LogisticRegression(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, input_size: int):
+        super().__init__()
+        # Define your layers
+        self.linear = nn.Linear(input_size, 1)
+        self.activation = nn.Sigmoid()
+
+    def forward(self, x: torch.Tensor) -> torch.Tensor:
+        # Define the forward pass
+        out = self.linear(x)
+        out = self.activation(out)
+        return out
+
+class MyCoolPyTorchClassifier(BasePyTorchClassifier):

+    This is a custom IFreqaiModel showing how a user might setup their own 
+    custom Neural Network architecture for their training.

+        model.to(self.device)

+        criterion = torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss()
+        init_model = self.get_init_model(dk.pair)
+        trainer = PyTorchModelTrainer(
+            model=model,

+            **self.trainer_kwargs,
+        )
+        trainer.fit(data_dictionary, self.splits)
+        return trainer
+
+```
+
+#### Trainer
+
+The `PyTorchModelTrainer` performs the idiomatic PyTorch train loop:
+Define our model, loss function, and optimizer, and then move them to the appropriate device (GPU or CPU). Inside the loop, we iterate through the batches in the dataloader, move the data to the device, compute the prediction and loss, backpropagate, and update the model parameters using the optimizer. 
+
+In addition, the trainer is responsible for the following:
+ - saving and loading the model
+ - converting the data from `pandas.DataFrame` to `torch.Tensor`. 
+
+#### Integration with Freqai module 
+
+Like all freqai models, PyTorch models inherit `IFreqaiModel`. `IFreqaiModel` declares three abstract methods: `train`, `fit`, and `predict`. we implement these methods in three levels of hierarchy.
+From top to bottom:
+
+1. `BasePyTorchModel` - Implements the `train` method. all `BasePyTorch*` inherit it. responsible for general data preparation (e.g., data normalization) and calling the `fit` method. Sets `device` attribute used by children classes. Sets `model_type` attribute used by the parent class.
+2. `BasePyTorch*` -  Implements the `predict` method. Here, the `*` represents a group of algorithms, such as classifiers or regressors. responsible for data preprocessing, predicting, and postprocessing if needed.
+3. `PyTorch*Classifier` / `PyTorch*Regressor` - implements the `fit` method. responsible for the main train flaw, where we initialize the trainer and model objects.
+
+![image](assets/freqai_pytorch-diagram.png)
+
+#### Full example
+
+Building a PyTorch regressor using MLP (multilayer perceptron) model, MSELoss criterion, and AdamW optimizer.
+
+```python
+class PyTorchMLPRegressor(BasePyTorchRegressor):
+    def __init__(self, **kwargs) -> None:
+        super().__init__(**kwargs)
+        config = self.freqai_info.get("model_training_parameters", {})
+        self.learning_rate: float = config.get("learning_rate",  3e-4)
+        self.model_kwargs: Dict[str, Any] = config.get("model_kwargs",  {})
+        self.trainer_kwargs: Dict[str, Any] = config.get("trainer_kwargs",  {})
+
+    def fit(self, data_dictionary: Dict, dk: FreqaiDataKitchen, **kwargs) -> Any:
+        n_features = data_dictionary["train_features"].shape[-1]
+        model = PyTorchMLPModel(
+            input_dim=n_features,
+            output_dim=1,
+            **self.model_kwargs
+        )
+        model.to(self.device)
+        optimizer = torch.optim.AdamW(model.parameters(), lr=self.learning_rate)
+        criterion = torch.nn.MSELoss()
+        init_model = self.get_init_model(dk.pair)
+        trainer = PyTorchModelTrainer(
+            model=model,
+            optimizer=optimizer,
+            criterion=criterion,
+            device=self.device,
+            init_model=init_model,
+            target_tensor_type=torch.float,
+            **self.trainer_kwargs,
+        )
+        trainer.fit(data_dictionary)
+        return trainer
+```
+
+Here we create a `PyTorchMLPRegressor` class that implements the `fit` method. The `fit` method specifies the training building blocks: model, optimizer, criterion, and trainer. We inherit both `BasePyTorchRegressor` and `BasePyTorchModel`, where the former implements the `predict` method that is suitable for our regression task, and the latter implements the train method.
+
+??? Note "Setting Class Names for Classifiers"
+    When using classifiers, the user must declare the class names (or targets) by overriding the `IFreqaiModel.class_names` attribute. This is achieved by setting `self.freqai.class_names` in the FreqAI strategy inside the `set_freqai_targets` method.
+    
+    For example, if you are using a binary classifier to predict price movements as up or down, you can set the class names as follows:
+    ```python
+    def set_freqai_targets(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: Dict, **kwargs):
+        self.freqai.class_names = ["down", "up"]
+        dataframe['&s-up_or_down'] = np.where(dataframe["close"].shift(-100) >
+                                                  dataframe["close"], 'up', 'down')
+    
+        return dataframe
+    ```
+    To see a full example, you can refer to the [classifier test strategy class](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/tests/strategy/strats/freqai_test_classifier.py).

+# Development
+
+## Project architecture
+
+The architecture and functions of FreqAI are generalized to encourages development of unique features, functions, models, etc.
+
+The class structure and a detailed algorithmic overview is depicted in the following diagram:
+
+![image](assets/freqai_algorithm-diagram.jpg)
+
+As shown, there are three distinct objects comprising FreqAI:
+
+* **IFreqaiModel** - A singular persistent object containing all the necessary logic to collect, store, and process data, engineer features, run training, and inference models.
+* **FreqaiDataKitchen** - A non-persistent object which is created uniquely for each unique asset/model. Beyond metadata, it also contains a variety of data processing tools.
+* **FreqaiDataDrawer** - A singular persistent object containing all the historical predictions, models, and save/load methods.
+
+There are a variety of built-in [prediction models](freqai-configuration.md#using-different-prediction-models) which inherit directly from `IFreqaiModel`. Each of these models have full access to all methods in `IFreqaiModel` and can therefore override any of those functions at will. However, advanced users will likely stick to overriding `fit()`, `train()`, `predict()`, and `data_cleaning_train/predict()`.
+
+## Data handling
+
+FreqAI aims to organize model files, prediction data, and meta data in a way that simplifies post-processing and enhances crash resilience by automatic data reloading. The data is saved in a file structure,`user_data_dir/models/`, which contains all the data associated with the trainings and backtests. The `FreqaiDataKitchen()` relies heavily on the file structure for proper training and inferencing and should therefore not be manually modified.
+
+### File structure
+
+The file structure is automatically generated based on the model `identifier` set in the [config](freqai-configuration.md#setting-up-the-configuration-file). The following structure shows where the data is stored for post processing:
+
+| Structure | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `config_*.json` | A copy of the model specific configuration file. |
+| `historic_predictions.pkl` | A file containing all historic predictions generated during the lifetime of the `identifier` model during live deployment. `historic_predictions.pkl` is used to reload the model after a crash or a config change. A backup file is always held in case of corruption on the main file. FreqAI **automatically** detects corruption and replaces the corrupted file with the backup. |
+| `pair_dictionary.json` | A file containing the training queue as well as the on disk location of the most recently trained model. |
+| `sub-train-*_TIMESTAMP` | A folder containing all the files associated with a single model, such as: <br>
+|| `*_metadata.json` - Metadata for the model, such as normalization max/min, expected training feature list, etc. <br>
+|| `*_model.*` - The model file saved to disk for reloading from a crash. Can be `joblib` (typical boosting libs), `zip` (stable_baselines), `hd5` (keras type), etc. <br>
+|| `*_pca_object.pkl` - The [Principal component analysis (PCA)](freqai-feature-engineering.md#data-dimensionality-reduction-with-principal-component-analysis) transform (if `principal_component_analysis: True` is set in the config) which will be used to transform unseen prediction features. <br>
+|| `*_svm_model.pkl` - The [Support Vector Machine (SVM)](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-using-a-support-vector-machine-svm) model (if `use_SVM_to_remove_outliers: True` is set in the config) which is used to detect outliers in unseen prediction features. <br>
+|| `*_trained_df.pkl` - The dataframe containing all the training features used to train the `identifier` model. This is used for computing the [Dissimilarity Index (DI)](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-with-the-dissimilarity-index-di) and can also be used for post-processing. <br>
+|| `*_trained_dates.df.pkl` - The dates associated with the `trained_df.pkl`, which is useful for post-processing. |
+
+The example file structure would look like this:

+# Feature engineering
+
+## Defining the features
+
+Low level feature engineering is performed in the user strategy within a set of functions called `feature_engineering_*`. These function set the `base features` such as, `RSI`, `MFI`, `EMA`, `SMA`, time of day, volume, etc. The `base features` can be custom indicators or they can be imported from any technical-analysis library that you can find. FreqAI is equipped with a set of functions to simplify rapid large-scale feature engineering:
+
+|  Function | Description |
+|---------------|-------------|
+| `feature_engineering_expand_all()` | This optional function will automatically expand the defined features on the config defined `indicator_periods_candles`, `include_timeframes`, `include_shifted_candles`, and `include_corr_pairs`.
+| `feature_engineering_expand_basic()` | This optional function will automatically expand the defined features on the config defined `include_timeframes`, `include_shifted_candles`, and `include_corr_pairs`. Note: this function does *not* expand across `include_periods_candles`.
+| `feature_engineering_standard()` | This optional function will be called once with the dataframe of the base timeframe. This is the final function to be called, which means that the dataframe entering this function will contain all the features and columns from the base asset created by the other `feature_engineering_expand` functions. This function is a good place to do custom exotic feature extractions (e.g. tsfresh). This function is also a good place for any feature that should not be auto-expanded upon (e.g., day of the week).
+| `set_freqai_targets()` | Required function to set the targets for the model. All targets must be prepended with `&` to be recognized by the FreqAI internals.
+
+Meanwhile, high level feature engineering is handled within `"feature_parameters":{}` in the FreqAI config. Within this file, it is possible to decide large scale feature expansions on top of the `base_features` such as "including correlated pairs" or "including informative timeframes" or even "including recent candles."
+
+It is advisable to start from the template `feature_engineering_*` functions in the source provided example strategy (found in `templates/FreqaiExampleStrategy.py`) to ensure that the feature definitions are following the correct conventions. Here is an example of how to set the indicators and labels in the strategy:
+
+```python

+        `indicator_periods_candles`, `include_timeframes`, `include_shifted_candles`, and
+        `include_corr_pairs`. In other words, a single feature defined in this function
+        will automatically expand to a total of
+        `indicator_periods_candles` * `include_timeframes` * `include_shifted_candles` *
+        `include_corr_pairs` numbers of features added to the model.

+
+In the presented example, the user does not wish to pass the `bb_lowerband` as a feature to the model,
+and has therefore not prepended it with `%`. The user does, however, wish to pass `bb_width` to the
+model for training/prediction and has therefore prepended it with `%`.
+
+After having defined the `base features`, the next step is to expand upon them using the powerful `feature_parameters` in the configuration file:
+
+```json
+    "freqai": {
+        //...
+        "feature_parameters" : {
+            "include_timeframes": ["5m","15m","4h"],
+            "include_corr_pairlist": [
+                "ETH/USD",
+                "LINK/USD",
+                "BNB/USD"
+            ],
+            "label_period_candles": 24,
+            "include_shifted_candles": 2,
+            "indicator_periods_candles": [10, 20]
+        },
+        //...
+    }
+```
+
+The `include_timeframes` in the config above are the timeframes (`tf`) of each call to `feature_engineering_expand_*()` in the strategy. In the presented case, the user is asking for the `5m`, `15m`, and `4h` timeframes of the `rsi`, `mfi`, `roc`, and `bb_width` to be included in the feature set.
+
+You can ask for each of the defined features to be included also for informative pairs using the `include_corr_pairlist`. This means that the feature set will include all the features from `feature_engineering_expand_*()` on all the `include_timeframes` for each of the correlated pairs defined in the config (`ETH/USD`, `LINK/USD`, and `BNB/USD` in the presented example).
+
+`include_shifted_candles` indicates the number of previous candles to include in the feature set. For example, `include_shifted_candles: 2` tells FreqAI to include the past 2 candles for each of the features in the feature set.
+
+In total, the number of features the user of the presented example strat has created is: length of `include_timeframes` * no. features in `feature_engineering_expand_*()` * length of `include_corr_pairlist` * no. `include_shifted_candles` * length of `indicator_periods_candles`
+ $= 3 * 3 * 3 * 2 * 2 = 108$.
+
+
+### Gain finer control over `feature_engineering_*` functions with `metadata`
+
+ All `feature_engineering_*` and `set_freqai_targets()` functions are passed a `metadata` dictionary which contains information about the `pair`, `tf` (timeframe), and `period` that FreqAI is automating for feature building. As such, a user can use `metadata` inside `feature_engineering_*` functions as criteria for blocking/reserving features for certain timeframes, periods, pairs etc.
+
+ ```python
+def feature_engineering_expand_all(self, dataframe, period, metadata, **kwargs):
+ if metadata["tf"] == "1h":
+    dataframe["%-roc-period"] = ta.ROC(dataframe, timeperiod=period)
+```
+
+This will block `ta.ROC()` from being added to any timeframes other than `"1h"`.
+
+### Returning additional info from training
+
+Important metrics can be returned to the strategy at the end of each model training by assigning them to `dk.data['extra_returns_per_train']['my_new_value'] = XYZ` inside the custom prediction model class. 
+
+FreqAI takes the `my_new_value` assigned in this dictionary and expands it to fit the dataframe that is returned to the strategy. You can then use the returned metrics in your strategy through `dataframe['my_new_value']`. An example of how return values can be used in FreqAI are the `&*_mean` and `&*_std` values that are used to [created a dynamic target threshold](freqai-configuration.md#creating-a-dynamic-target-threshold).
+
+Another example, where the user wants to use live metrics from the trade database, is shown below:
+
+```json
+    "freqai": {
+        "extra_returns_per_train": {"total_profit": 4}
+    }
+```
+
+You need to set the standard dictionary in the config so that FreqAI can return proper dataframe shapes. These values will likely be overridden by the prediction model, but in the case where the model has yet to set them, or needs a default initial value, the pre-set values are what will be returned.
+
+## Feature normalization
+
+FreqAI is strict when it comes to data normalization. The train features, $X^{train}$, are always normalized to [-1, 1] using a shifted min-max normalization:
+
+$$X^{train}_{norm} = 2 * \frac{X^{train} - X^{train}.min()}{X^{train}.max() - X^{train}.min()} - 1$$
+
+All other data (test data and unseen prediction data in dry/live/backtest) is always automatically normalized to the training feature space according to industry standards. FreqAI stores all the metadata required to ensure that test and prediction features will be properly normalized and that predictions are properly denormalized. For this reason, it is not recommended to eschew industry standards and modify FreqAI internals - however - advanced users can do so by inheriting `train()` in their custom `IFreqaiModel` and using their own normalization functions.
+
+## Data dimensionality reduction with Principal Component Analysis
+
+You can reduce the dimensionality of your features by activating the `principal_component_analysis` in the config:
+
+```json
+    "freqai": {
+        "feature_parameters" : {
+            "principal_component_analysis": true
+        }
+    }
+```
+
+This will perform PCA on the features and reduce their dimensionality so that the explained variance of the data set is >= 0.999. Reducing data dimensionality makes training the model faster and hence allows for more up-to-date models. 
+
+## Inlier metric
+
+The `inlier_metric` is a metric aimed at quantifying how similar the features of a data point are to the most recent historical data points. 
+
+You define the lookback window by setting `inlier_metric_window` and FreqAI computes the distance between the present time point and each of the previous `inlier_metric_window` lookback points. A Weibull function is fit to each of the lookback distributions and its cumulative distribution function (CDF) is used to produce a quantile for each lookback point. The `inlier_metric` is then computed for each time point as the average of the corresponding lookback quantiles. The figure below explains the concept for an `inlier_metric_window` of 5.
+
+![inlier-metric](assets/freqai_inlier-metric.jpg)
+
+FreqAI adds the `inlier_metric` to the training features and hence gives the model access to a novel type of temporal information. 
+
+This function does **not** remove outliers from the data set.
+
+## Weighting features for temporal importance
+
+FreqAI allows you to set a `weight_factor` to weight recent data more strongly than past data via an exponential function:
+
+$$ W_i = \exp(\frac{-i}{\alpha*n}) $$
+
+where $W_i$ is the weight of data point $i$ in a total set of $n$ data points. Below is a figure showing the effect of different weight factors on the data points in a feature set.
+
+![weight-factor](assets/freqai_weight-factor.jpg)
+
+## Outlier detection
+
+Equity and crypto markets suffer from a high level of non-patterned noise in the form of outlier data points. FreqAI implements a variety of methods to identify such outliers and hence mitigate risk.
+
+### Identifying outliers with the Dissimilarity Index (DI)
+
+ The Dissimilarity Index (DI) aims to quantify the uncertainty associated with each prediction made by the model. 
+
+You can tell FreqAI to remove outlier data points from the training/test data sets using the DI by including the following statement in the config:
+
+```json
+    "freqai": {
+        "feature_parameters" : {
+            "DI_threshold": 1
+        }
+    }
+```
+
+ The DI allows predictions which are outliers (not existent in the model feature space) to be thrown out due to low levels of certainty. To do so, FreqAI measures the distance between each training data point (feature vector), $X_{a}$, and all other training data points:
+
+$$ d_{ab} = \sqrt{\sum_{j=1}^p(X_{a,j}-X_{b,j})^2} $$
+
+where $d_{ab}$ is the distance between the normalized points $a$ and $b$, and $p$ is the number of features, i.e., the length of the vector $X$. The characteristic distance, $\overline{d}$, for a set of training data points is simply the mean of the average distances:
+
+$$ \overline{d} = \sum_{a=1}^n(\sum_{b=1}^n(d_{ab}/n)/n) $$
+
+$\overline{d}$ quantifies the spread of the training data, which is compared to the distance between a new prediction feature vectors, $X_k$ and all the training data:
+
+$$ d_k = \arg \min d_{k,i} $$
+
+This enables the estimation of the Dissimilarity Index as:
+
+$$ DI_k = d_k/\overline{d} $$
+
+You can tweak the DI through the `DI_threshold` to increase or decrease the extrapolation of the trained model. A higher `DI_threshold` means that the DI is more lenient and allows predictions further away from the training data to be used whilst a lower `DI_threshold` has the opposite effect and hence discards more predictions.
+
+Below is a figure that describes the DI for a 3D data set.
+
+![DI](assets/freqai_DI.jpg)
+
+### Identifying outliers using a Support Vector Machine (SVM)
+
+You can tell FreqAI to remove outlier data points from the training/test data sets using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) by including the following statement in the config:
+
+```json
+    "freqai": {
+        "feature_parameters" : {
+            "use_SVM_to_remove_outliers": true
+        }
+    }
+```
+
+The SVM will be trained on the training data and any data point that the SVM deems to be beyond the feature space will be removed.
+
+FreqAI uses `sklearn.linear_model.SGDOneClassSVM` (details are available on scikit-learn's webpage [here](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.linear_model.SGDOneClassSVM.html) (external website)) and you can elect to provide additional parameters for the SVM, such as `shuffle`, and `nu`.
+
+The parameter `shuffle` is by default set to `False` to ensure consistent results. If it is set to `True`, running the SVM multiple times on the same data set might result in different outcomes due to `max_iter` being to low for the algorithm to reach the demanded `tol`. Increasing `max_iter` solves this issue but causes the procedure to take longer time.
+
+The parameter `nu`, *very* broadly, is the amount of data points that should be considered outliers and should be between 0 and 1.
+
+### Identifying outliers with DBSCAN
+
+You can configure FreqAI to use DBSCAN to cluster and remove outliers from the training/test data set or incoming outliers from predictions, by activating `use_DBSCAN_to_remove_outliers` in the config:
+
+```json
+    "freqai": {
+        "feature_parameters" : {
+            "use_DBSCAN_to_remove_outliers": true
+        }
+    }
+```
+
+DBSCAN is an unsupervised machine learning algorithm that clusters data without needing to know how many clusters there should be.
+
+Given a number of data points $N$, and a distance $\varepsilon$, DBSCAN clusters the data set by setting all data points that have $N-1$ other data points within a distance of $\varepsilon$ as *core points*. A data point that is within a distance of $\varepsilon$ from a *core point* but that does not have $N-1$ other data points within a distance of $\varepsilon$ from itself is considered an *edge point*. A cluster is then the collection of *core points* and *edge points*. Data points that have no other data points at a distance $<\varepsilon$ are considered outliers. The figure below shows a cluster with $N = 3$.
+
+![dbscan](assets/freqai_dbscan.jpg)
+
+FreqAI uses `sklearn.cluster.DBSCAN` (details are available on scikit-learn's webpage [here](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.cluster.DBSCAN.html) (external website)) with `min_samples` ($N$) taken as 1/4 of the no. of time points (candles) in the feature set. `eps` ($\varepsilon$) is computed automatically as the elbow point in the *k-distance graph* computed from the nearest neighbors in the pairwise distances of all data points in the feature set.

+
+### General configuration parameters
+
+|  Parameter | Description |
+|------------|-------------|
+|  |  **General configuration parameters within the `config.freqai` tree**
+| `freqai` | **Required.** <br> The parent dictionary containing all the parameters for controlling FreqAI. <br> **Datatype:** Dictionary.

Backtesting operates most efficiently by saving the prediction data and reusing them directly for subsequent runs (when you wish to tune entry/exit parameters). Saving backtesting models to disk also allows to use the same model files for starting a dry/live instance with the same model `identifier`. <br> **Datatype:** Boolean. <br> Default: `False` (no models are saved).
+| `fit_live_predictions_candles` | Number of historical candles to use for computing target (label) statistics from prediction data, instead of from the training dataset (more information can be found [here](freqai-configuration.md#creating-a-dynamic-target-threshold)). <br> **Datatype:** Positive integer.
+| `continual_learning` | Use the final state of the most recently trained model as starting point for the new model, allowing for incremental learning (more information can be found [here](freqai-running.md#continual-learning)). <br> **Datatype:** Boolean. <br> Default: `False`.
+| `write_metrics_to_disk` | Collect train timings, inference timings and cpu usage in json file. <br> **Datatype:** Boolean. <br> Default: `False`
+| `data_kitchen_thread_count` | <br> Designate the number of threads you want to use for data processing (outlier methods, normalization, etc.). This has no impact on the number of threads used for training. If user does not set it (default), FreqAI will use max number of threads - 2 (leaving 1 physical core available for Freqtrade bot and FreqUI) <br> **Datatype:** Positive integer.
+
+### Feature parameters
+
+|  Parameter | Description |
+|------------|-------------|
+|  |  **Feature parameters within the `freqai.feature_parameters` sub dictionary**
+| `feature_parameters` | A dictionary containing the parameters used to engineer the feature set. Details and examples are shown [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md). <br> **Datatype:** Dictionary.
+| `include_timeframes` | A list of timeframes that all indicators in `feature_engineering_expand_*()` will be created for. The list is added as features to the base indicators dataset. <br> **Datatype:** List of timeframes (strings).
+| `include_corr_pairlist` | A list of correlated coins that FreqAI will add as additional features to all `pair_whitelist` coins. All indicators set in `feature_engineering_expand_*()` during feature engineering (see details [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md)) will be created for each correlated coin. The correlated coins features are added to the base indicators dataset. <br> **Datatype:** List of assets (strings).
+| `label_period_candles` | Number of candles into the future that the labels are created for. This is used in `feature_engineering_expand_all()` (see `templates/FreqaiExampleStrategy.py` for detailed usage). You can create custom labels and choose whether to make use of this parameter or not. <br> **Datatype:** Positive integer.
+| `include_shifted_candles` | Add features from previous candles to subsequent candles with the intent of adding historical information. If used, FreqAI will duplicate and shift all features from the `include_shifted_candles` previous candles so that the information is available for the subsequent candle. <br> **Datatype:** Positive integer.
+| `weight_factor` | Weight training data points according to their recency (see details [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#weighting-features-for-temporal-importance)). <br> **Datatype:** Positive float (typically < 1).
+| `indicator_max_period_candles` | **No longer used (#7325)**. Replaced by `startup_candle_count` which is set in the [strategy](freqai-configuration.md#building-a-freqai-strategy). `startup_candle_count` is timeframe independent and defines the maximum *period* used in `feature_engineering_*()` for indicator creation. FreqAI uses this parameter together with the maximum timeframe in `include_time_frames` to calculate how many data points to download such that the first data point does not include a NaN. <br> **Datatype:** Positive integer.
+| `indicator_periods_candles` | Time periods to calculate indicators for. The indicators are added to the base indicator dataset. <br> **Datatype:** List of positive integers.
+| `principal_component_analysis` | Automatically reduce the dimensionality of the data set using Principal Component Analysis. See details about how it works [here](#reducing-data-dimensionality-with-principal-component-analysis) <br> **Datatype:** Boolean. <br> Default: `False`.
+| `plot_feature_importances` | Create a feature importance plot for each model for the top/bottom `plot_feature_importances` number of features. Plot is stored in `user_data/models/<identifier>/sub-train-<COIN>_<timestamp>.html`. <br> **Datatype:** Integer. <br> Default: `0`.
+| `DI_threshold` | Activates the use of the Dissimilarity Index for outlier detection when set to > 0. See details about how it works [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-with-the-dissimilarity-index-di). <br> **Datatype:** Positive float (typically < 1).
+| `use_SVM_to_remove_outliers` | Train a support vector machine to detect and remove outliers from the training dataset, as well as from incoming data points. See details about how it works [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-using-a-support-vector-machine-svm). <br> **Datatype:** Boolean.
+| `svm_params` | All parameters available in Sklearn's `SGDOneClassSVM()`. See details about some select parameters [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-using-a-support-vector-machine-svm). <br> **Datatype:** Dictionary.
+| `use_DBSCAN_to_remove_outliers` | Cluster data using the DBSCAN algorithm to identify and remove outliers from training and prediction data. See details about how it works [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-with-dbscan). <br> **Datatype:** Boolean. 
+| `inlier_metric_window` | If set, FreqAI adds an `inlier_metric` to the training feature set and set the lookback to be the `inlier_metric_window`, i.e., the number of previous time points to compare the current candle to. Details of how the `inlier_metric` is computed can be found [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#inlier-metric). <br> **Datatype:** Integer. <br> Default: `0`.
+| `noise_standard_deviation` | If set, FreqAI adds noise to the training features with the aim of preventing overfitting. FreqAI generates random deviates from a gaussian distribution with a standard deviation of `noise_standard_deviation` and adds them to all data points. `noise_standard_deviation` should be kept relative to the normalized space, i.e., between -1 and 1. In other words, since data in FreqAI is always normalized to be between -1 and 1, `noise_standard_deviation: 0.05` would result in 32% of the data being randomly increased/decreased by more than 2.5% (i.e., the percent of data falling within the first standard deviation). <br> **Datatype:** Integer. <br> Default: `0`.
+| `outlier_protection_percentage` | Enable to prevent outlier detection methods from discarding too much data. If more than `outlier_protection_percentage` % of points are detected as outliers by the SVM or DBSCAN, FreqAI will log a warning message and ignore outlier detection, i.e., the original dataset will be kept intact. If the outlier protection is triggered, no predictions will be made based on the training dataset. <br> **Datatype:** Float. <br> Default: `30`.
+| `reverse_train_test_order` | Split the feature dataset (see below) and use the latest data split for training and test on historical split of the data. This allows the model to be trained up to the most recent data point, while avoiding overfitting. However, you should be careful to understand the unorthodox nature of this parameter before employing it. <br> **Datatype:** Boolean. <br> Default: `False` (no reversal).
+| `shuffle_after_split` | Split the data into train and test sets, and then shuffle both sets individually. <br> **Datatype:** Boolean. <br> Default: `False`.
+| `buffer_train_data_candles` | Cut `buffer_train_data_candles` off the beginning and end of the training data *after* the indicators were populated. The main example use is when predicting maxima and minima, the argrelextrema function  cannot know the maxima/minima at the edges of the timerange. To improve model accuracy, it is best to compute argrelextrema on the full timerange and then use this function to cut off the edges (buffer) by the kernel. In another case, if the targets are set to a shifted price movement, this buffer is unnecessary because the shifted candles at the end of the timerange will be NaN and FreqAI will automatically cut those off of the training dataset.<br> **Datatype:** Integer. <br> Default: `0`.

+# Reinforcement Learning
+
+!!! Note "Installation size"
+    Reinforcement learning dependencies include large packages such as `torch`, which should be explicitly requested during `./setup.sh -i` by answering "y" to the question "Do you also want dependencies for freqai-rl (~700mb additional space required) [y/N]?".
+    Users who prefer docker should ensure they use the docker image appended with `_freqairl`.
+
+## Background and terminology
+
+### What is RL and why does FreqAI need it?
+
+Reinforcement learning involves two important components, the *agent* and the training *environment*. During agent training, the agent moves through historical data candle by candle, always making 1 of a set of actions: Long entry, long exit, short entry, short exit, neutral). During this training process, the environment tracks the performance of these actions and rewards the agent according to a custom user made `calculate_reward()` (here we offer a default reward for users to build on if they wish [details here](#creating-a-custom-reward-function)). The reward is used to train weights in a neural network.
+
+A second important component of the FreqAI RL implementation is the use of *state* information. State information is fed into the network at each step, including current profit, current position, and current trade duration. These are used to train the agent in the training environment, and to reinforce the agent in dry/live (this functionality is not available in backtesting). *FreqAI + Freqtrade is a perfect match for this reinforcing mechanism since this information is readily available in live deployments.*
+
+Reinforcement learning is a natural progression for FreqAI, since it adds a new layer of adaptivity and market reactivity that Classifiers and Regressors cannot match. However, Classifiers and Regressors have strengths that RL does not have such as robust predictions. Improperly trained RL agents may find "cheats" and "tricks" to maximize reward without actually winning any trades. For this reason, RL is more complex and demands a higher level of understanding than typical Classifiers and Regressors.
+
+### The RL interface
+
+With the current framework, we aim to expose the training environment via the common "prediction model" file, which is a user inherited `BaseReinforcementLearner` object (e.g. `freqai/prediction_models/ReinforcementLearner`). Inside this user class, the RL environment is available and customized via `MyRLEnv` as [shown below](#creating-a-custom-reward-function).
+
+We envision the majority of users focusing their effort on creative design of the `calculate_reward()` function [details here](#creating-a-custom-reward-function), while leaving the rest of the environment untouched. Other users may not touch the environment at all, and they will only play with the configuration settings and the powerful feature engineering that already exists in FreqAI. Meanwhile, we enable advanced users to create their own model classes entirely.
+
+The framework is built on stable_baselines3 (torch) and OpenAI gym for the base environment class. But generally speaking, the model class is well isolated. Thus, the addition of competing libraries can be easily integrated into the existing framework. For the environment, it is inheriting from `gym.env` which means that it is necessary to write an entirely new environment in order to switch to a different library.
+
+### Important considerations
+
+As explained above, the agent is "trained" in an artificial trading "environment". In our case, that environment may seem quite similar to a real Freqtrade backtesting environment, but it is *NOT*. In fact, the RL training environment is much more simplified. It does not incorporate any of the complicated strategy logic, such as callbacks like `custom_exit`, `custom_stoploss`, leverage controls, etc. The RL environment is instead a very "raw" representation of the true market, where the agent has free will to learn the policy (read: stoploss, take profit, etc.) which is enforced by the `calculate_reward()`. Thus, it is important to consider that the agent training environment is not identical to the real world.
+
+## Running Reinforcement Learning
+
+Setting up and running a Reinforcement Learning model is the same as running a Regressor or Classifier. The same two flags, `--freqaimodel` and `--strategy`, must be defined on the command line:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade --freqaimodel ReinforcementLearner --strategy MyRLStrategy --config config.json
+```
+
+where `ReinforcementLearner` will use the templated `ReinforcementLearner` from `freqai/prediction_models/ReinforcementLearner` (or a custom user defined one located in `user_data/freqaimodels`). The strategy, on the other hand, follows the same base [feature engineering](freqai-feature-engineering.md) with `feature_engineering_*` as a typical Regressor. The difference lies in the creation of the targets, Reinforcement Learning doesn't require them. However, FreqAI requires a default (neutral) value to be set in the action column:
+
+```python
+    def set_freqai_targets(self, dataframe, **kwargs):
+        """
+        *Only functional with FreqAI enabled strategies*
+        Required function to set the targets for the model.
+        All targets must be prepended with `&` to be recognized by the FreqAI internals.
+
+        More details about feature engineering available:
+
+        https://www.freqtrade.io/en/latest/freqai-feature-engineering
+
+        :param df: strategy dataframe which will receive the targets
+        usage example: dataframe["&-target"] = dataframe["close"].shift(-1) / dataframe["close"]
+        """
+        # For RL, there are no direct targets to set. This is filler (neutral)
+        # until the agent sends an action.
+        dataframe["&-action"] = 0
+```
+
+Most of the function remains the same as for typical Regressors, however, the function below shows how the strategy must pass the raw price data to the agent so that it has access to raw OHLCV in the training environment:
+
+```python
+    def feature_engineering_standard(self, dataframe, **kwargs):
+        # The following features are necessary for RL models
+        dataframe[f"%-raw_close"] = dataframe["close"]
+        dataframe[f"%-raw_open"] = dataframe["open"]
+        dataframe[f"%-raw_high"] = dataframe["high"]
+        dataframe[f"%-raw_low"] = dataframe["low"]
+```
+
+Finally, there is no explicit "label" to make - instead it is necessary to assign the `&-action` column which will contain the agent's actions when accessed in `populate_entry/exit_trends()`. In the present example, the neutral action to 0. This value should align with the environment used. FreqAI provides two environments, both use 0 as the neutral action.
+
+After users realize there are no labels to set, they will soon understand that the agent is making its "own" entry and exit decisions. This makes strategy construction rather simple. The entry and exit signals come from the agent in the form of an integer - which are used directly to decide entries and exits in the strategy:
+
+```python
+    def populate_entry_trend(self, df: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+
+        enter_long_conditions = [df["do_predict"] == 1, df["&-action"] == 1]
+
+        if enter_long_conditions:
+            df.loc[
+                reduce(lambda x, y: x & y, enter_long_conditions), ["enter_long", "enter_tag"]
+            ] = (1, "long")
+
+        enter_short_conditions = [df["do_predict"] == 1, df["&-action"] == 3]
+
+        if enter_short_conditions:
+            df.loc[
+                reduce(lambda x, y: x & y, enter_short_conditions), ["enter_short", "enter_tag"]
+            ] = (1, "short")
+
+        return df
+
+    def populate_exit_trend(self, df: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+        exit_long_conditions = [df["do_predict"] == 1, df["&-action"] == 2]
+        if exit_long_conditions:
+            df.loc[reduce(lambda x, y: x & y, exit_long_conditions), "exit_long"] = 1
+
+        exit_short_conditions = [df["do_predict"] == 1, df["&-action"] == 4]
+        if exit_short_conditions:
+            df.loc[reduce(lambda x, y: x & y, exit_short_conditions), "exit_short"] = 1
+
+        return df
+```
+
+It is important to consider that `&-action` depends on which environment they choose to use. The example above shows 5 actions, where 0 is neutral, 1 is enter long, 2 is exit long, 3 is enter short and 4 is exit short.
+
+## Configuring the Reinforcement Learner
+
+In order to configure the `Reinforcement Learner` the following dictionary must exist in the `freqai` config:
+
+```json
+        "rl_config": {
+            "train_cycles": 25,
+            "add_state_info": true,
+            "max_trade_duration_candles": 300,
+            "max_training_drawdown_pct": 0.02,
+            "cpu_count": 8,
+            "model_type": "PPO",
+            "policy_type": "MlpPolicy",
+            "model_reward_parameters": {
+                "rr": 1,
+                "profit_aim": 0.025
+            }
+        }
+```
+
+Parameter details can be found [here](freqai-parameter-table.md), but in general the `train_cycles` decides how many times the agent should cycle through the candle data in its artificial environment to train weights in the model. `model_type` is a string which selects one of the available models in [stable_baselines](https://stable-baselines3.readthedocs.io/en/master/)(external link).
+
+!!! Note
+    If you would like to experiment with `continual_learning`, then you should set that value to `true` in the main `freqai` configuration dictionary. This will tell the Reinforcement Learning library to continue training new models from the final state of previous models, instead of retraining new models from scratch each time a retrain is initiated.
+
+!!! Note
+    Remember that the general `model_training_parameters` dictionary should contain all the model hyperparameter customizations for the particular `model_type`. For example, `PPO` parameters can be found [here](https://stable-baselines3.readthedocs.io/en/master/modules/ppo.html).
+
+## Creating a custom reward function
+
+As you begin to modify the strategy and the prediction model, you will quickly realize some important differences between the Reinforcement Learner and the Regressors/Classifiers. Firstly, the strategy does not set a target value (no labels!). Instead, you set the `calculate_reward()` function inside the `MyRLEnv` class (see below). A default `calculate_reward()` is provided inside `prediction_models/ReinforcementLearner.py` to demonstrate the necessary building blocks for creating rewards, but users are encouraged to create their own custom reinforcement learning model class (see below) and save it to `user_data/freqaimodels`. It is inside the `calculate_reward()` where creative theories about the market can be expressed. For example, you can reward your agent when it makes a winning trade, and penalize the agent when it makes a losing trade. Or perhaps, you wish to reward the agent for entering trades, and penalize the agent for sitting in trades too long. Below we show examples of how these rewards are all calculated:
+
+```python
+    from freqtrade.freqai.prediction_models.ReinforcementLearner import ReinforcementLearner
+    from freqtrade.freqai.RL.Base5ActionRLEnv import Actions, Base5ActionRLEnv, Positions
+
+
+    class MyCoolRLModel(ReinforcementLearner):
+        """
+        User created RL prediction model.
+
+        Save this file to `freqtrade/user_data/freqaimodels`
+
+        then use it with:
+
+        freqtrade trade --freqaimodel MyCoolRLModel --config config.json --strategy SomeCoolStrat
+
+        Here the users can override any of the functions
+        available in the `IFreqaiModel` inheritance tree. Most importantly for RL, this
+        is where the user overrides `MyRLEnv` (see below), to define custom
+        `calculate_reward()` function, or to override any other parts of the environment.
+
+        This class also allows users to override any other part of the IFreqaiModel tree.
+        For example, the user can override `def fit()` or `def train()` or `def predict()`
+        to take fine-tuned control over these processes.
+
+        Another common override may be `def data_cleaning_predict()` where the user can
+        take fine-tuned control over the data handling pipeline.
+        """
+        class MyRLEnv(Base5ActionRLEnv):

+```
+
+### Using Tensorboard
+
+Reinforcement Learning models benefit from tracking training metrics. FreqAI has integrated Tensorboard to allow users to track training and evaluation performance across all coins and across all retrainings. Tensorboard is activated via the following command:
+
+```bash
+cd freqtrade
+tensorboard --logdir user_data/models/unique-id
+```
+
+where `unique-id` is the `identifier` set in the `freqai` configuration file. This command must be run in a separate shell to view the output in their browser at 127.0.0.1:6006 (6006 is the default port used by Tensorboard).
+
+![tensorboard](assets/tensorboard.jpg)
+
+
+### Custom logging
+
+FreqAI also provides a built in episodic summary logger called `self.tensorboard_log` for adding custom information to the Tensorboard log. By default, this function is already called once per step inside the environment to record the agent actions. All values accumulated for all steps in a single episode are reported at the conclusion of each episode, followed by a full reset of all metrics to 0 in preparation for the subsequent episode.
+
+
+`self.tensorboard_log` can also be used anywhere inside the environment, for example, it can be added to the `calculate_reward` function to collect more detailed information about how often various parts of the reward were called:
+
+```py
+        class MyRLEnv(Base5ActionRLEnv):
+            """
+            User made custom environment. This class inherits from BaseEnvironment and gym.env.
+            Users can override any functions from those parent classes. Here is an example
+            of a user customized `calculate_reward()` function.
+            """
+            def calculate_reward(self, action: int) -> float:
+                if not self._is_valid(action):
+                    self.tensorboard_log("invalid")
+                    return -2
+
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    The `self.tensorboard_log()` function is designed for tracking incremented objects only i.e. events, actions inside the training environment. If the event of interest is a float, the float can be passed as the second argument e.g. `self.tensorboard_log("float_metric1", 0.23)`. In this case the metric values are not incremented.
+
+### Choosing a base environment
+
+FreqAI provides three base environments, `Base3ActionRLEnvironment`, `Base4ActionEnvironment` and `Base5ActionEnvironment`. As the names imply, the environments are customized for agents that can select from 3, 4 or 5 actions. The `Base3ActionEnvironment` is the simplest, the agent can select from hold, long, or short. This environment can also be used for long-only bots (it automatically follows the `can_short` flag from the strategy), where long is the enter condition and short is the exit condition. Meanwhile, in the `Base4ActionEnvironment`, the agent can enter long, enter short, hold neutral, or exit position. Finally, in the `Base5ActionEnvironment`, the agent has the same actions as Base4, but instead of a single exit action, it separates exit long and exit short. The main changes stemming from the environment selection include:
+
+* the actions available in the `calculate_reward`
+* the actions consumed by the user strategy
+
+All of the FreqAI provided environments inherit from an action/position agnostic environment object called the `BaseEnvironment`, which contains all shared logic. The architecture is designed to be easily customized. The simplest customization is the `calculate_reward()` (see details [here](#creating-a-custom-reward-function)). However, the customizations can be further extended into any of the functions inside the environment. You can do this by simply overriding those functions inside your `MyRLEnv` in the prediction model file. Or for more advanced customizations, it is encouraged to create an entirely new environment inherited from `BaseEnvironment`.
+
+!!! Note
+    Only the `Base3ActionRLEnv` can do long-only training/trading (set the user strategy attribute `can_short = False`).

+# Running FreqAI
+
+There are two ways to train and deploy an adaptive machine learning model - live deployment and historical backtesting. In both cases, FreqAI runs/simulates periodic retraining of models as shown in the following figure:
+
+![freqai-window](assets/freqai_moving-window.jpg)
+
+## Live deployments
+
+FreqAI can be run dry/live using the following command:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade --strategy FreqaiExampleStrategy --config config_freqai.example.json --freqaimodel LightGBMRegressor
+```
+
+When launched, FreqAI will start training a new model, with a new `identifier`, based on the config settings. Following training, the model will be used to make predictions on incoming candles until a new model is available. New models are typically generated as often as possible, with FreqAI managing an internal queue of the coin pairs to try to keep all models equally up to date. FreqAI will always use the most recently trained model to make predictions on incoming live data. If you do not want FreqAI to retrain new models as often as possible, you can set `live_retrain_hours` to tell FreqAI to wait at least that number of hours before training a new model. Additionally, you can set `expired_hours` to tell FreqAI to avoid making predictions on models that are older than that number of hours.
+
+Trained models are by default saved to disk to allow for reuse during backtesting or after a crash. You can opt to [purge old models](#purging-old-model-data) to save disk space by setting `"purge_old_models": true` in the config.
+
+To start a dry/live run from a saved backtest model (or from a previously crashed dry/live session), you only need to specify the `identifier` of the specific model:
+
+```json
+    "freqai": {
+        "identifier": "example",
+        "live_retrain_hours": 0.5
+    }
+```
+
+In this case, although FreqAI will initiate with a pre-trained model, it will still check to see how much time has elapsed since the model was trained. If a full `live_retrain_hours` has elapsed since the end of the loaded model, FreqAI will start training a new model.
+
+### Automatic data download
+
+FreqAI automatically downloads the proper amount of data needed to ensure training of a model through the defined `train_period_days` and `startup_candle_count` (see the [parameter table](freqai-parameter-table.md) for detailed descriptions of these parameters). 
+
+### Saving prediction data
+
+All predictions made during the lifetime of a specific `identifier` model are stored in `historic_predictions.pkl` to allow for reloading after a crash or changes made to the config.
+
+### Purging old model data
+
+FreqAI stores new model files after each successful training. These files become obsolete as new models are generated to adapt to new market conditions. If you are planning to leave FreqAI running for extended periods of time with high frequency retraining, you should enable `purge_old_models` in the config:
+
+```json
+    "freqai": {
+        "purge_old_models": true,
+    }
+```
+
+This will automatically purge all models older than the two most recently trained ones to save disk space.
+
+## Backtesting
+
+The FreqAI backtesting module can be executed with the following command:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting --strategy FreqaiExampleStrategy --strategy-path freqtrade/templates --config config_examples/config_freqai.example.json --freqaimodel LightGBMRegressor --timerange 20210501-20210701
+```
+
+If this command has never been executed with the existing config file, FreqAI will train a new model
+for each pair, for each backtesting window within the expanded `--timerange`.
+
+Backtesting mode requires [downloading the necessary data](#downloading-data-to-cover-the-full-backtest-period) before deployment (unlike in dry/live mode where FreqAI handles the data downloading automatically). You should be careful to consider that the time range of the downloaded data is more than the backtesting time range. This is because FreqAI needs data prior to the desired backtesting time range in order to train a model to be ready to make predictions on the first candle of the set backtesting time range. More details on how to calculate the data to download can be found [here](#deciding-the-size-of-the-sliding-training-window-and-backtesting-duration).
+
+!!! Note "Model reuse"
+    Once the training is completed, you can execute the backtesting again with the same config file and
+    FreqAI will find the trained models and load them instead of spending time training. This is useful
+    if you want to tweak (or even hyperopt) buy and sell criteria inside the strategy. If you
+    *want* to retrain a new model with the same config file, you should simply change the `identifier`.
+    This way, you can return to using any model you wish by simply specifying the `identifier`.
+
+!!! Note
+    Backtesting calls `set_freqai_targets()` one time for each backtest window (where the number of windows is the full backtest timerange divided by the `backtest_period_days` parameter). Doing this means that the targets simulate dry/live behavior without look ahead bias. However, the definition of the features in `feature_engineering_*()` is performed once on the entire backtest timerange. This means that you should be sure that features do look-ahead into the future.
+    More details about look-ahead bias can be found in [Common Mistakes](strategy-customization.md#common-mistakes-when-developing-strategies).
+
+---
+
+### Saving prediction data
+
+To allow for tweaking your strategy (**not** the features!), FreqAI will automatically save the predictions during backtesting so that they can be reused for future backtests and live runs using the same `identifier` model. This provides a performance enhancement geared towards enabling **high-level hyperopting** of entry/exit criteria.
+
+An additional directory called `backtesting_predictions`, which contains all the predictions stored in `hdf` format, will be created in the `unique-id` folder.
+
+To change your **features**, you **must** set a new `identifier` in the config to signal to FreqAI to train new models.
+
+To save the models generated during a particular backtest so that you can start a live deployment from one of them instead of training a new model, you must set `save_backtest_models` to `True` in the config.
+
+### Backtest live collected predictions
+
+FreqAI allow you to reuse live historic predictions through the backtest parameter `--freqai-backtest-live-models`. This can be useful when you want to reuse predictions generated in dry/run for comparison or other study.
+
+The `--timerange` parameter must not be informed, as it will be automatically calculated through the data in the historic predictions file.
+
+
+### Downloading data to cover the full backtest period
+
+For live/dry deployments, FreqAI will download the necessary data automatically. However, to use backtesting functionality, you need to download the necessary data using `download-data` (details [here](data-download.md#data-downloading)). You need to pay careful attention to understanding how much *additional* data needs to be downloaded to ensure that there is a sufficient amount of training data *before* the start of the backtesting time range. The amount of additional data can be roughly estimated by moving the start date of the time range backwards by `train_period_days` and the `startup_candle_count` (see the [parameter table](freqai-parameter-table.md) for detailed descriptions of these parameters) from the beginning of the desired backtesting time range. 
+
+As an example, to backtest the `--timerange 20210501-20210701` using the [example config](freqai-configuration.md#setting-up-the-configuration-file) which sets `train_period_days` to 30, together with `startup_candle_count: 40` on a maximum `include_timeframes` of 1h, the start date for the downloaded data needs to be `20210501` - 30 days - 40 * 1h / 24 hours = 20210330 (31.7 days earlier than the start of the desired training time range).
+
+### Deciding the size of the sliding training window and backtesting duration
+
+The backtesting time range is defined with the typical `--timerange` parameter in the configuration file. The duration of the sliding training window is set by `train_period_days`, whilst `backtest_period_days` is the sliding backtesting window, both in number of days (`backtest_period_days` can be
+a float to indicate sub-daily retraining in live/dry mode). In the presented [example config](freqai-configuration.md#setting-up-the-configuration-file) (found in `config_examples/config_freqai.example.json`), the user is asking FreqAI to use a training period of 30 days and backtest on the subsequent 7 days. After the training of the model, FreqAI will backtest the subsequent 7 days. The "sliding window" then moves one week forward (emulating FreqAI retraining once per week in live mode) and the new model uses the previous 30 days (including the 7 days used for backtesting by the previous model) to train. This is repeated until the end of `--timerange`.  This means that if you set `--timerange 20210501-20210701`, FreqAI will have trained 8 separate models at the end of `--timerange` (because the full range comprises 8 weeks).
+
+!!! Note
+    Although fractional `backtest_period_days` is allowed, you should be aware that the `--timerange` is divided by this value to determine the number of models that FreqAI will need to train in order to backtest the full range. For example, by setting a `--timerange` of 10 days, and a `backtest_period_days` of 0.1, FreqAI will need to train 100 models per pair to complete the full backtest. Because of this, a true backtest of FreqAI adaptive training would take a *very* long time. The best way to fully test a model is to run it dry and let it train constantly. In this case, backtesting would take the exact same amount of time as a dry run.
+
+## Defining model expirations
+
+During dry/live mode, FreqAI trains each coin pair sequentially (on separate threads/GPU from the main Freqtrade bot). This means that there is always an age discrepancy between models. If you are training on 50 pairs, and each pair requires 5 minutes to train, the oldest model will be over 4 hours old. This may be undesirable if the characteristic time scale (the trade duration target) for a strategy is less than 4 hours. You can decide to only make trade entries if the model is less than a certain number of hours old by setting the `expiration_hours` in the config file:
+
+```json
+    "freqai": {
+        "expiration_hours": 0.5,
+    }
+```
+
+In the presented example config, the user will only allow predictions on models that are less than 1/2 hours old.
+
+## Controlling the model learning process
+
+Model training parameters are unique to the selected machine learning library. FreqAI allows you to set any parameter for any library using the `model_training_parameters` dictionary in the config. The example config (found in `config_examples/config_freqai.example.json`) shows some of the example parameters associated with `Catboost` and `LightGBM`, but you can add any parameters available in those libraries or any other machine learning library you choose to implement.
+
+Data split parameters are defined in `data_split_parameters` which can be any parameters associated with scikit-learn's `train_test_split()` function. `train_test_split()` has a parameters called `shuffle` which allows to shuffle the data or keep it unshuffled. This is particularly useful to avoid biasing training with temporally auto-correlated data. More details about these parameters can be found the [scikit-learn website](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.model_selection.train_test_split.html) (external website).
+
+The FreqAI specific parameter `label_period_candles` defines the offset (number of candles into the future) used for the `labels`. In the presented [example config](freqai-configuration.md#setting-up-the-configuration-file), the user is asking for `labels` that are 24 candles in the future.
+
+## Continual learning
+
+You can choose to adopt a continual learning scheme by setting `"continual_learning": true` in the config. By enabling `continual_learning`, after training an initial model from scratch, subsequent trainings will start from the final model state of the preceding training. This gives the new model a "memory" of the previous state. By default, this is set to `False` which means that all new models are trained from scratch, without input from previous models.
+
+???+ danger "Continual learning enforces a constant parameter space"
+    Since `continual_learning` means that the model parameter space *cannot* change between trainings, `principal_component_analysis` is automatically disabled when `continual_learning` is enabled. Hint: PCA changes the parameter space and the number of features, learn more about PCA [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#data-dimensionality-reduction-with-principal-component-analysis).
+
+## Hyperopt
+
+You can hyperopt using the same command as for [typical Freqtrade hyperopt](hyperopt.md):
+
+```bash
+freqtrade hyperopt --hyperopt-loss SharpeHyperOptLoss --strategy FreqaiExampleStrategy --freqaimodel LightGBMRegressor --strategy-path freqtrade/templates --config config_examples/config_freqai.example.json --timerange 20220428-20220507
+```
+
+`hyperopt` requires you to have the data pre-downloaded in the same fashion as if you were doing [backtesting](#backtesting). In addition, you must consider some restrictions when trying to hyperopt FreqAI strategies:
+
+- The `--analyze-per-epoch` hyperopt parameter is not compatible with FreqAI.
+- It's not possible to hyperopt indicators in the `feature_engineering_*()` and `set_freqai_targets()` functions. This means that you cannot optimize model parameters using hyperopt. Apart from this exception, it is possible to optimize all other [spaces](hyperopt.md#running-hyperopt-with-smaller-search-space).
+- The backtesting instructions also apply to hyperopt.
+
+The best method for combining hyperopt and FreqAI is to focus on hyperopting entry/exit thresholds/criteria. You need to focus on hyperopting parameters that are not used in your features. For example, you should not try to hyperopt rolling window lengths in the feature creation, or any part of the FreqAI config which changes predictions. In order to efficiently hyperopt the FreqAI strategy, FreqAI stores predictions as dataframes and reuses them. Hence the requirement to hyperopt entry/exit thresholds/criteria only.
+
+A good example of a hyperoptable parameter in FreqAI is a threshold for the [Dissimilarity Index (DI)](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-with-the-dissimilarity-index-di) `DI_values` beyond which we consider data points as outliers:
+
+```python
+di_max = IntParameter(low=1, high=20, default=10, space='buy', optimize=True, load=True)
+dataframe['outlier'] = np.where(dataframe['DI_values'] > self.di_max.value/10, 1, 0)
+```
+
+This specific hyperopt would help you understand the appropriate `DI_values` for your particular parameter space.
+
+## Using Tensorboard
+
+CatBoost models benefit from tracking training metrics via Tensorboard. You can take advantage of the FreqAI integration to track training and evaluation performance across all coins and across all retrainings. Tensorboard is activated via the following command:
+
+```bash
+cd freqtrade
+tensorboard --logdir user_data/models/unique-id
+```
+
+where `unique-id` is the `identifier` set in the `freqai` configuration file. This command must be run in a separate shell if you wish to view the output in your browser at 127.0.0.1:6060 (6060 is the default port used by Tensorboard).

+# FreqAI
+
+## Introduction
+
+FreqAI is a software designed to automate a variety of tasks associated with training a predictive machine learning model to generate market forecasts given a set of input signals. In general, FreqAI aims to be a sandbox for easily deploying robust machine learning libraries on real-time data ([details](#freqai-position-in-open-source-machine-learning-landscape)).
+
+!!! Note
+    FreqAI is, and always will be, a not-for-profit, open-source project. FreqAI does *not* have a crypto token, FreqAI does *not* sell signals, and FreqAI does not have a domain besides the present [freqtrade documentation](https://www.freqtrade.io/en/latest/freqai/).
+
+Features include:
+
+* **Self-adaptive retraining** - Retrain models during [live deployments](freqai-running.md#live-deployments) to self-adapt to the market in a supervised manner
+* **Rapid feature engineering** - Create large rich [feature sets](freqai-feature-engineering.md#feature-engineering) (10k+ features) based on simple user-created strategies
+* **High performance** - Threading allows for adaptive model retraining on a separate thread (or on GPU if available) from model inferencing (prediction) and bot trade operations. Newest models and data are kept in RAM for rapid inferencing
+* **Realistic backtesting** - Emulate self-adaptive training on historic data with a [backtesting module](freqai-running.md#backtesting) that automates retraining
+* **Extensibility** - The generalized and robust architecture allows for incorporating any [machine learning library/method](freqai-configuration.md#using-different-prediction-models) available in Python. Eight examples are currently available, including classifiers, regressors, and a convolutional neural network
+* **Smart outlier removal** - Remove outliers from training and prediction data sets using a variety of [outlier detection techniques](freqai-feature-engineering.md#outlier-detection)
+* **Crash resilience** - Store trained models to disk to make reloading from a crash fast and easy, and [purge obsolete files](freqai-running.md#purging-old-model-data) for sustained dry/live runs
+* **Automatic data normalization** - [Normalize the data](freqai-feature-engineering.md#feature-normalization) in a smart and statistically safe way
+* **Automatic data download** - Compute timeranges for data downloads and update historic data (in live deployments)
+* **Cleaning of incoming data** - Handle NaNs safely before training and model inferencing
+* **Dimensionality reduction** - Reduce the size of the training data via [Principal Component Analysis](freqai-feature-engineering.md#data-dimensionality-reduction-with-principal-component-analysis)
+* **Deploying bot fleets** - Set one bot to train models while a fleet of [consumers](producer-consumer.md) use signals.
+
+## Quick start
+
+The easiest way to quickly test FreqAI is to run it in dry mode with the following command:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade --config config_examples/config_freqai.example.json --strategy FreqaiExampleStrategy --freqaimodel LightGBMRegressor --strategy-path freqtrade/templates
+```
+
+You will see the boot-up process of automatic data downloading, followed by simultaneous training and trading.
+
+An example strategy, prediction model, and config to use as a starting points can be found in
+`freqtrade/templates/FreqaiExampleStrategy.py`, `freqtrade/freqai/prediction_models/LightGBMRegressor.py`, and
+`config_examples/config_freqai.example.json`, respectively.
+
+## General approach
+
+You provide FreqAI with a set of custom *base indicators* (the same way as in a [typical Freqtrade strategy](strategy-customization.md)) as well as target values (*labels*). For each pair in the whitelist, FreqAI trains a model to predict the target values based on the input of custom indicators. The models are then consistently retrained, with a predetermined frequency, to adapt to market conditions. FreqAI offers the ability to both backtest strategies (emulating reality with periodic retraining on historic data) and deploy dry/live runs. In dry/live conditions, FreqAI can be set to constant retraining in a background thread to keep models as up to date as possible.
+
+An overview of the algorithm, explaining the data processing pipeline and model usage, is shown below.
+
+![freqai-algo](assets/freqai_algo.jpg)
+
+### Important machine learning vocabulary
+
+**Features** - the parameters, based on historic data, on which a model is trained. All features for a single candle are stored as a vector. In FreqAI, you build a feature data set from anything you can construct in the strategy.
+
+**Labels** - the target values that the model is trained toward. Each feature vector is associated with a single label that is defined by you within the strategy. These labels intentionally look into the future and are what you are training the model to be able to predict.
+
+**Training** - the process of "teaching" the model to match the feature sets to the associated labels. Different types of models "learn" in different ways which means that one might be better than another for a specific application. More information about the different models that are already implemented in FreqAI can be found [here](freqai-configuration.md#using-different-prediction-models).
+
+**Train data** - a subset of the feature data set that is fed to the model during training to "teach" the model how to predict the targets. This data directly influences weight connections in the model.
+
+**Test data** - a subset of the feature data set that is used to evaluate the performance of the model after training. This data does not influence nodal weights within the model.
+
+**Inferencing** - the process of feeding a trained model new unseen data on which it will make a prediction. 
+
+## Install prerequisites
+
+The normal Freqtrade install process will ask if you wish to install FreqAI dependencies. You should reply "yes" to this question if you wish to use FreqAI. If you did not reply yes, you can manually install these dependencies after the install with:
+
+``` bash
+pip install -r requirements-freqai.txt
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    Catboost will not be installed on arm devices (raspberry, Mac M1, ARM based VPS, ...), since it does not provide wheels for this platform.
+
+!!! Note "python 3.11"
+    Some dependencies (Catboost, Torch) currently don't support python 3.11. Freqtrade therefore only supports python 3.10 for these models/dependencies.
+    Tests involving these dependencies are skipped on 3.11.
+
+### Usage with docker
+
+If you are using docker, a dedicated tag with FreqAI dependencies is available as `:freqai`. As such - you can replace the image line in your docker compose file with `image: freqtradeorg/freqtrade:develop_freqai`. This image contains the regular FreqAI dependencies. Similar to native installs, Catboost will not be available on ARM based devices.
+
+### FreqAI position in open-source machine learning landscape
+
+Forecasting chaotic time-series based systems, such as equity/cryptocurrency markets, requires a broad set of tools geared toward testing a wide range of hypotheses. Fortunately, a recent maturation of robust machine learning libraries (e.g. `scikit-learn`) has opened up a wide range of research possibilities. Scientists from a diverse range of fields can now easily prototype their studies on an abundance of established machine learning algorithms. Similarly, these user-friendly libraries enable "citzen scientists" to use their basic Python skills for data exploration. However, leveraging these machine learning libraries on historical and live chaotic data sources can be logistically difficult and expensive. Additionally, robust data collection, storage, and handling presents a disparate challenge. [`FreqAI`](#freqai) aims to provide a generalized and extensible open-sourced framework geared toward live deployments of adaptive modeling for market forecasting. The `FreqAI` framework is effectively a sandbox for the rich world of open-source machine learning libraries. Inside the `FreqAI` sandbox, users find they can combine a wide variety of third-party libraries to test creative hypotheses on a free live 24/7 chaotic data source - cryptocurrency exchange data.

+
+## Common pitfalls
+
+FreqAI cannot be combined with dynamic `VolumePairlists` (or any pairlist filter that adds and removes pairs dynamically).
+This is for performance reasons - FreqAI relies on making quick predictions/retrains. To do this effectively,
+it needs to download all the training data at the beginning of a dry/live instance. FreqAI stores and appends
+new candles automatically for future retrains. This means that if new pairs arrive later in the dry run due to a volume pairlist, it will not have the data ready. However, FreqAI does work with the `ShufflePairlist` or a `VolumePairlist` which keeps the total pairlist constant (but reorders the pairs according to volume).

 ??? 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.
+    During normal hyperopting, indicators are calculated once and supplied to each epoch, linearly increasing RAM usage as a factor of increasing cores. As this also has performance implications, hyperopt provides `--analyze-per-epoch` which will move the execution of `populate_indicators()` to the epoch process, calculating a single value per parameter per epoch instead of using the `.range` functionality. In this case, `.range` functionality will only return the actually used value. This will reduce RAM usage, but increase CPU usage. However, your hyperopting run will be less likely to fail due to Out Of Memory (OOM) issues.

+If you see `The objective has been evaluated at this point before.` - then this is a sign that your space has been exhausted, or is close to that.
+Basically all points in your space have been hit (or a local minima has been hit) - and hyperopt does no longer find points in the multi-dimensional space it did not try yet.
+Freqtrade tries to counter the "local minima" problem by using new, randomized points in this case.
+
+Example:
+
+``` python
+buy_ema_short = IntParameter(5, 20, default=10, space="buy", optimize=True)
+# This is the only parameter in the buy space
+```
+
+The `buy_ema_short` space has 15 possible values (`5, 6, ... 19, 20`). If you now run hyperopt for the buy space, hyperopt will only have 15 values to try before running out of options.
+Your epochs should therefore be aligned to the possible values - or you should be ready to interrupt a run if you norice a lot of `The objective has been evaluated at this point before.` warnings.

 `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.

+#### ProducerPairList
+
+With `ProducerPairList`, you can reuse the pairlist from a [Producer](producer-consumer.md) without explicitly defining the pairlist on each consumer.
+
+[Consumer mode](producer-consumer.md) is required for this pairlist to work.
+
+The pairlist will perform a check on active pairs against the current exchange configuration to avoid attempting to trade on invalid markets.
+
+You can limit the length of the pairlist with the optional parameter `number_assets`. Using `"number_assets"=0` or omitting this key will result in the reuse of all producer pairs valid for the current setup.
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [
+    {
+        "method": "ProducerPairList",
+        "number_assets": 5,

+],
+```
+
+
+!!! Tip "Combining pairlists"
+    This pairlist can be combined with all other pairlists and filters for further pairlist reduction, and can also act as an "additional" pairlist, on top of already defined pairs.
+    `ProducerPairList` can also be used multiple times in sequence, combining the pairs from multiple producers.
+    Obviously in complex such configurations, the Producer may not provide data for all pairs, so the strategy must be fit for this.
+
+#### RemotePairList
+
+It allows the user to fetch a pairlist from a remote server or a locally stored json file within the freqtrade directory, enabling dynamic updates and customization of the trading pairlist.
+
+The RemotePairList is defined in the pairlists section of the configuration settings. It uses the following configuration options:
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [
+    {
+        "method": "RemotePairList",
+        "pairlist_url": "https://example.com/pairlist",
+        "number_assets": 10,
+        "refresh_period": 1800,
+        "keep_pairlist_on_failure": true,
+        "read_timeout": 60,
+        "bearer_token": "my-bearer-token"
+    }
+]
+```
+
+The `pairlist_url` option specifies the URL of the remote server where the pairlist is located, or the path to a local file (if file:/// is prepended). This allows the user to use either a remote server or a local file as the source for the pairlist.
+
+The user is responsible for providing a server or local file that returns a JSON object with the following structure:
+
+```json
+{
+    "pairs": ["XRP/USDT", "ETH/USDT", "LTC/USDT"],
+    "refresh_period": 1800,
+}
+```
+
+The `pairs` property should contain a list of strings with the trading pairs to be used by the bot. The `refresh_period` property is optional and specifies the number of seconds that the pairlist should be cached before being refreshed.
+
+The optional `keep_pairlist_on_failure` specifies whether the previous received pairlist should be used if the remote server is not reachable or returns an error. The default value is true.
+
+The optional `read_timeout` specifies the maximum amount of time (in seconds) to wait for a response from the remote source, The default value is 60.
+
+The optional `bearer_token` will be included in the requests Authorization Header.
+
+!!! Note
+    In case of a server error the last received pairlist will be kept if `keep_pairlist_on_failure` is set to true, when set to false a empty pairlist is returned.

+# 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.
+
+If you already have an existing strategy, 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 strategy of version 3 which 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"
+```
+
+##### Pair namings
+
+Freqtrade follows the [ccxt naming conventions for futures](https://docs.ccxt.com/en/latest/manual.html?#perpetual-swap-perpetual-future).
+A futures pair will therefore have the naming of `base/quote:settle` (e.g. `ETH/USDT:USDT`).
+
+### Margin mode
+
+On top of `trading_mode` - you will also have to configure your `margin_mode`.
+While freqtrade currently only supports one margin mode, this will change, and by configuring it now you're all set for future updates.
+
+The possible values are: `isolated`, or `cross`(*currently unavailable*).
+
+#### Isolated margin mode
+
+Each market(trading pair), keeps collateral in a separate account
+
+``` json
+"margin_mode": "isolated"
+```
+
+#### Cross margin mode (currently unavailable)
+
+One account is used to share collateral between markets (trading pairs). Margin is taken from total account balance to avoid liquidation when needed.
+
+``` json
+"margin_mode": "cross"
+```
+
+Please read the [exchange specific notes](exchanges.md) for exchanges that support this mode and how they differ.
+
+## Set leverage to use
+
+Different strategies and risk profiles will require different levels of leverage.
+While you could configure one static leverage value - freqtrade offers you the flexibility to adjust this via [strategy leverage callback](strategy-callbacks.md#leverage-callback) - which allows you to use different leverages by pair, or based on some other factor benefitting your strategy result.
+
+If not implemented, leverage defaults to 1x (no leverage).
+
+!!! Warning
+    Higher leverage also equals higher risk - be sure you fully understand the implications of using leverage!
+
+## Understand `liquidation_buffer`
+
+*Defaults to `0.05`*
+
+A ratio specifying how large of a safety net to place between the liquidation price and the stoploss to prevent a position from reaching the liquidation price.
+This artificial liquidation price is calculated as:
+
+`freqtrade_liquidation_price = liquidation_price ± (abs(open_rate - liquidation_price) * liquidation_buffer)`
+
+- `±` = `+` for long trades
+- `±` = `-` for short trades
+
+Possible values are any floats between 0.0 and 0.99
+
+**ex:** If a trade is entered at a price of 10 coin/USDT, and the liquidation price of this trade is 8 coin/USDT, then with `liquidation_buffer` set to `0.05` the minimum stoploss for this trade would be $8 + ((10 - 8) * 0.05) = 8 + 0.1 = 8.1$
+
+!!! Danger "A `liquidation_buffer` of 0.0, or a low `liquidation_buffer` is likely to result in liquidations, and liquidation fees"
+    Currently Freqtrade is able to calculate liquidation prices, but does not calculate liquidation fees. Setting your `liquidation_buffer` to 0.0, or using a low `liquidation_buffer` could result in your positions being liquidated. Freqtrade does not track liquidation fees, so liquidations will result in inaccurate profit/loss results for your bot. If you use a low `liquidation_buffer`, it is recommended to use `stoploss_on_exchange` if your exchange supports this.
+
+## Unavailable funding rates
+
+For futures data, exchanges commonly provide the futures candles, the marks, and the funding rates. However, it is common that whilst candles and marks might be available, the funding rates are not. This can affect backtesting timeranges, i.e. you may only be able to test recent timeranges and not earlier, experiencing the `No data found. Terminating.` error. To get around this, add the `futures_funding_rate` config option as listed in [configuration.md](configuration.md), and it is recommended that you set this to `0`, unless you know a given specific funding rate for your pair, exchange and timerange. Setting this to anything other than `0` can have drastic effects on your profit calculations within strategy, e.g. within the `custom_exit`, `custom_stoploss`, etc functions.
+
+!!! Warning "This will mean your backtests are inaccurate."
+    This will not overwrite funding rates that are available from the exchange, but bear in mind that setting a false funding rate will mean backtesting results will be inaccurate for historical timeranges where funding rates are not available.
+
+### Developer
+
+#### Margin mode
+
+For shorts, the currency which pays the interest fee for the `borrowed` currency is purchased at the same time of the closing trade (This means that the amount purchased in short closing trades is greater than the amount sold in short opening trades).
+
+For longs, the currency which pays the interest fee for the `borrowed` will already be owned by the user and does not need to be purchased. The interest is subtracted from the `close_value` of the trade.
+
+All Fees are included in `current_profit` calculations during the trade.
+
+#### Futures mode
+
+Funding fees are either added or subtracted from the total amount of a trade

+# Producer / Consumer mode
+
+freqtrade provides a mechanism whereby an instance (also called `consumer`) may listen to messages from an upstream freqtrade instance (also called `producer`) using the message websocket. Mainly, `analyzed_df` and `whitelist` messages. This allows the reuse of computed indicators (and signals) for pairs in multiple bots without needing to compute them multiple times.
+
+See [Message Websocket](rest-api.md#message-websocket) in the Rest API docs for setting up the `api_server` configuration for your message websocket (this will be your producer).
+
+!!! Note
+    We strongly recommend to set `ws_token` to something random and known only to yourself to avoid unauthorized access to your bot.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Enable subscribing to an instance by adding the `external_message_consumer` section to the consumer's config file.
+
+```json
+{
+    //...
+   "external_message_consumer": {
+        "enabled": true,

+                "secure": false, // Use a secure websockets connection, default false
+                "ws_token": "sercet_Ws_t0ken" // The ws_token from your producer's api_server config
+            }

+
+Instead of (or as well as) calculating indicators in `populate_indicators()` the follower instance listens on the connection to a producer instance's messages (or multiple producer instances in advanced configurations) and requests the producer's most recently analyzed dataframes for each pair in the active whitelist.
+
+A consumer instance will then have a full copy of the analyzed dataframes without the need to calculate them itself.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example - Producer Strategy
+
+A simple strategy with multiple indicators. No special considerations are required in the strategy itself.
+
+```py
+class ProducerStrategy(IStrategy):
+    #...
+    def populate_indicators(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+        """
+        Calculate indicators in the standard freqtrade way which can then be broadcast to other instances
+        """
+        dataframe['rsi'] = ta.RSI(dataframe)
+        bollinger = qtpylib.bollinger_bands(qtpylib.typical_price(dataframe), window=20, stds=2)
+        dataframe['bb_lowerband'] = bollinger['lower']
+        dataframe['bb_middleband'] = bollinger['mid']
+        dataframe['bb_upperband'] = bollinger['upper']
+        dataframe['tema'] = ta.TEMA(dataframe, timeperiod=9)
+
+        return dataframe
+
+    def populate_entry_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+        """
+        Populates the entry signal for the given dataframe
+        """
+        dataframe.loc[
+            (
+                (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], self.buy_rsi.value)) &
+                (dataframe['tema'] <= dataframe['bb_middleband']) &
+                (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &
+                (dataframe['volume'] > 0)
+            ),
+            'enter_long'] = 1
+
+        return dataframe
+```
+
+!!! Tip "FreqAI"
+    You can use this to setup [FreqAI](freqai.md) on a powerful machine, while you run consumers on simple machines like raspberries, which can interpret the signals generated from the producer in different ways.
+
+
+### Example - Consumer Strategy
+
+A logically equivalent strategy which calculates no indicators itself, but will have the same analyzed dataframes available to make trading decisions based on the indicators calculated in the producer. In this example the consumer has the same entry criteria, however this is not necessary. The consumer may use different logic to enter/exit trades, and only use the indicators as specified.
+
+```py
+class ConsumerStrategy(IStrategy):
+    #...
+    process_only_new_candles = False # required for consumers
+
+    _columns_to_expect = ['rsi_default', 'tema_default', 'bb_middleband_default']

+### Message WebSocket
+
+The API Server includes a websocket endpoint for subscribing to RPC messages from the freqtrade Bot.
+This can be used to consume real-time data from your bot, such as entry/exit fill messages, whitelist changes, populated indicators for pairs, and more.
+
+This is also used to setup [Producer/Consumer mode](producer-consumer.md) in Freqtrade.
+
+Assuming your rest API is set to `127.0.0.1` on port `8080`, the endpoint is available at `http://localhost:8080/api/v1/message/ws`.
+
+To access the websocket endpoint, the `ws_token` is required as a query parameter in the endpoint URL.
+
+To generate a safe `ws_token` you can run the following code:
+
+``` python
+>>> import secrets
+>>> secrets.token_urlsafe(25)
+'hZ-y58LXyX_HZ8O1cJzVyN6ePWrLpNQv4Q'
+```
+
+You would then add that token under `ws_token` in your `api_server` config. Like so:
+
+``` json
+"api_server": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "listen_ip_address": "127.0.0.1",
+    "listen_port": 8080,
+    "verbosity": "error",
+    "enable_openapi": false,
+    "jwt_secret_key": "somethingrandom",
+    "CORS_origins": [],
+    "username": "Freqtrader",
+    "password": "SuperSecret1!",
+    "ws_token": "hZ-y58LXyX_HZ8O1cJzVyN6ePWrLpNQv4Q" // <-----
+},
+```
+
+You can now connect to the endpoint at `http://localhost:8080/api/v1/message/ws?token=hZ-y58LXyX_HZ8O1cJzVyN6ePWrLpNQv4Q`.
+
+!!! Danger "Reuse of example tokens"
+    Please do not use the above example token. To make sure you are secure, generate a completely new token.
+
+#### Using the WebSocket
+
+Once connected to the WebSocket, the bot will broadcast RPC messages to anyone who is subscribed to them. To subscribe to a list of messages, you must send a JSON request through the WebSocket like the one below. The `data` key must be a list of message type strings.
+
+``` json
+{
+  "type": "subscribe",
+  "data": ["whitelist", "analyzed_df"] // A list of string message types
+}
+```
+
+For a list of message types, please refer to the RPCMessageType enum in `freqtrade/enums/rpcmessagetype.py`
+
+Now anytime those types of RPC messages are sent in the bot, you will receive them through the WebSocket as long as the connection is active. They typically take the same form as the request:
+
+``` json
+{
+  "type": "analyzed_df",
+  "data": {
+      "key": ["NEO/BTC", "5m", "spot"],
+      "df": {}, // The dataframe
+      "la": "2022-09-08 22:14:41.457786+00:00"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Reverse Proxy setup
+
+When using [Nginx](https://nginx.org/en/docs/), the following configuration is required for WebSockets to work (Note this configuration is incomplete, it's missing some information and can not be used as is):
+
+Please make sure to replace `<freqtrade_listen_ip>` (and the subsequent port) with the IP and Port matching your configuration/setup.
+
+```
+http {
+    map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
+        default upgrade;
+        '' close;
+    }
+
+    #...
+
+    server {
+        #...
+
+        location / {
+            proxy_http_version 1.1;
+            proxy_pass http://<freqtrade_listen_ip>:8080;
+            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+            proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
+            proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+To properly configure your reverse proxy (securely), please consult it's documentation for proxying websockets.
+
+- **Traefik**: Traefik supports websockets out of the box, see the [documentation](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/)
+- **Caddy**: Caddy v2 supports websockets out of the box, see the [documentation](https://caddyserver.com/docs/v2-upgrade#proxy)
+
+!!! Tip "SSL certificates"
+    You can use tools like certbot to setup ssl certificates to access your bot's UI through encrypted connection by using any fo the above reverse proxies.
+    While this will protect your data in transit, we do not recommend to run the freqtrade API outside of your private network (VPN, SSH tunnel).
+
 ### OpenAPI interface
 
 To enable the builtin openAPI interface (Swagger UI), specify `"enable_openapi": true` in the api_server configuration.
-This will enable the Swagger UI at the `/docs` endpoint. By default, that's running at http://localhost:8080/docs/ - but it'll depend on your settings.

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

+### Position adjust calculations
+
+* Entry rates are calculated using weighted averages.
+* Exits will not influence the average entry rate.
+* Partial exit relative profit is relative to the average entry price at this point.
+* Final exit relative profit is calculated based on the total invested capital. (See example below)
+
+??? example "Calculation example"
+    *This example assumes 0 fees for simplicity, and a long position on an imaginary coin.*  
+    
+    * Buy 100@8\$ 
+    * Buy 100@9\$ -> Avg price: 8.5\$
+    * Sell 100@10\$ -> Avg price: 8.5\$, realized profit 150\$, 17.65%

+
+## 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.

+### `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

+        ),
+        ['enter_long', 'enter_tag']] = (1, 'rsi_cross')
+
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+Please refer to the [Strategy documentation](strategy-customization.md#entry-signal-rules) on how to enter and exit short trades.
+
+### `populate_sell_trend`
+
+Similar to `populate_buy_trend`, `populate_sell_trend()` will be renamed to `populate_exit_trend()`.
+We'll also change the column from `'sell'` to `'exit_long'`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="1 9"
+def populate_sell_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 70)) &  # Signal: RSI crosses above 70
+            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['bb_middleband']) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['tema'] < dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)  # Make sure Volume is not 0
+        ),
+        ['sell', 'exit_tag']] = (1, 'some_exit_tag')
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+After
+
+``` python hl_lines="1 9"
+def populate_exit_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 70)) &  # Signal: RSI crosses above 70
+            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['bb_middleband']) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['tema'] < dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)  # Make sure Volume is not 0
+        ),
+        ['exit_long', 'exit_tag']] = (1, 'some_exit_tag')
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+Please refer to the [Strategy documentation](strategy-customization.md#exit-signal-rules) on how to enter and exit short trades.
+
+### `custom_sell`
+
+`custom_sell` has been renamed to `custom_exit`.

+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.

+## FreqAI strategy
+
+The `populate_any_indicators()` method has been split into `feature_engineering_expand_all()`, `feature_engineering_expand_basic()`, `feature_engineering_standard()` and`set_freqai_targets()`.
+
+For each new function, the pair (and timeframe where necessary) will be automatically added to the column.
+As such, the definition of features becomes much simpler with the new logic.

+# Trade Object
+
+## Trade
+
+A position freqtrade enters is stored in a `Trade` object - which is persisted to the database.
+It's a core concept of freqtrade - and something you'll come across in many sections of the documentation, which will most likely point you to this location.
+
+It will be passed to the strategy in many [strategy callbacks](strategy-callbacks.md). The object passed to the strategy cannot be modified directly. Indirect modifications may occur based on callback results.
+
+## Trade - Available attributes
+
+The following attributes / properties are available for each individual trade - and can be used with `trade.<property>` (e.g. `trade.pair`).
+
+|  Attribute | DataType | Description |
+|------------|-------------|-------------|
+`pair`| string | Pair of this trade
+`is_open`| boolean | Is the trade currently open, or has it been concluded
+`open_rate`| float | Rate this trade was entered at (Avg. entry rate in case of trade-adjustments)
+`close_rate`| float | Close rate - only set when is_open = False
+`stake_amount`| float | Amount in Stake (or Quote) currency.
+`amount`| float | Amount in Asset / Base currency that is currently owned.
+`open_date`| datetime | Timestamp when trade was opened **use `open_date_utc` instead**
+`open_date_utc`| datetime | Timestamp when trade was opened - in UTC
+`close_date`| datetime | Timestamp when trade was closed **use `close_date_utc` instead**
+`close_date_utc`| datetime | Timestamp when trade was closed - in UTC
+`close_profit`| float | Relative profit at the time of trade closure. `0.01` == 1%
+`close_profit_abs`| float | Absolute profit (in stake currency) at the time of trade closure.
+`leverage` | float | Leverage used for this trade - defaults to 1.0 in spot markets.
+`enter_tag`| string | Tag provided on entry via the `enter_tag` column in the dataframe
+`is_short` | boolean | True for short trades, False otherwise
+`orders` | Order[] | List of order objects attached to this trade (includes both filled and cancelled orders)
+`date_last_filled_utc` | datetime | Time of the last filled order
+`entry_side` | "buy" / "sell" | Order Side the trade was entered
+`exit_side` | "buy" / "sell" | Order Side that will result in a trade exit / position reduction.
+`trade_direction` | "long" / "short" | Trade direction in text - long or short.
+`nr_of_successful_entries` | int | Number of successful (filled) entry orders
+`nr_of_successful_exits` | int | Number of successful (filled) exit orders
+
+## Class methods
+
+The following are class methods - which return generic information, and usually result in an explicit query against the database.
+They can be used as `Trade.<method>` - e.g. `open_trades = Trade.get_open_trade_count()`
+
+!!! Warning "Backtesting/hyperopt"
+    Most methods will work in both backtesting / hyperopt and live/dry modes.
+    During backtesting, it's limited to usage in [strategy callbacks](strategy-callbacks.md). Usage in `populate_*()` methods is not supported and will result in wrong results.
+
+### get_trades_proxy
+
+When your strategy needs some information on existing (open or close) trades - it's best to use `Trade.get_trades_proxy()`.
+
+Usage:
+
+``` python
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+from datetime import timedelta
+
+# ...
+trade_hist = Trade.get_trades_proxy(pair='ETH/USDT', is_open=False, open_date=current_date - timedelta(days=2))
+
+```
+
+`get_trades_proxy()` supports the following keyword arguments. All arguments are optional - calling `get_trades_proxy()` without arguments will return a list of all trades in the database.
+
+* `pair` e.g. `pair='ETH/USDT'`
+* `is_open` e.g. `is_open=False`
+* `open_date` e.g. `open_date=current_date - timedelta(days=2)`
+* `close_date` e.g. `close_date=current_date - timedelta(days=5)`
+
+### get_open_trade_count
+
+Get the number of currently open trades
+
+``` python
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+# ...
+open_trades = Trade.get_open_trade_count()
+```
+
+### get_total_closed_profit
+
+Retrieve the total profit the bot has generated so far.
+Aggregates `close_profit_abs` for all closed trades.
+
+``` python
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+# ...
+profit = Trade.get_total_closed_profit()
+```
+
+### total_open_trades_stakes
+
+Retrieve the total stake_amount that's currently in trades.
+
+``` python
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+# ...
+profit = Trade.total_open_trades_stakes()
+```
+
+### get_overall_performance
+
+Retrieve the overall performance - similar to the `/performance` telegram command.
+
+``` python
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+# ...
+if self.config['runmode'].value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
+    performance = Trade.get_overall_performance()
+```
+
+Sample return value: ETH/BTC had 5 trades, with a total profit of 1.5% (ratio of 0.015).
+
+``` json
+{"pair": "ETH/BTC", "profit": 0.015, "count": 5}
+```
+
+## Order Object
+
+An `Order` object represents an order on the exchange (or a simulated order in dry-run mode).
+An `Order` object will always be tied to it's corresponding [`Trade`](#trade-object), and only really makes sense in the context of a trade.
+
+### Order - Available attributes
+
+an Order object is typically attached to a trade.
+Most properties here can be None as they are dependant on the exchange response.
+
+|  Attribute | DataType | Description |
+|------------|-------------|-------------|
+`trade` | Trade | Trade object this order is attached to
+`ft_pair` | string | Pair this order is for
+`ft_is_open` | boolean | is the order filled?
+`order_type` | string | Order type as defined on the exchange - usually market, limit or stoploss
+`status` | string | Status as defined by ccxt. Usually open, closed, expired or canceled
+`side` | string | Buy or Sell
+`price` | float | Price the order was placed at
+`average` | float | Average price the order filled at
+`amount` | float | Amount in base currency
+`filled` | float | Filled amount (in base currency)
+`remaining` | float | Remaining amount
+`cost` | float | Cost of the order - usually average * filled
+`order_date` | datetime | Order creation date **use `order_date_utc` instead**
+`order_date_utc` | datetime | Order creation date (in UTC)
+`order_fill_date` | datetime |  Order fill date **use `order_fill_utc` instead**
+`order_fill_date_utc` | datetime | Order fill date
