+# Advanced Backtesting Analysis
+
+## Analyze the buy/entry and sell/exit tags
+
+It can be helpful to understand how a strategy behaves according to the buy/entry tags used to
+mark up different buy conditions. You might want to see more complex statistics about each buy and
+sell condition above those provided by the default backtesting output. You may also want to
+determine indicator values on the signal candle that resulted in a trade opening.
+
+!!! Note
+    The following buy reason analysis is only available for backtesting, *not hyperopt*.
+
+We need to run backtesting with the `--export` option set to `signals` to enable the exporting of
+signals **and** trades:
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade backtesting -c <config.json> --timeframe <tf> --strategy <strategy_name> --timerange=<timerange> --export=signals
+```
+
+This will tell freqtrade to output a pickled dictionary of strategy, pairs and corresponding
+DataFrame of the candles that resulted in buy signals. Depending on how many buys your strategy
+makes, this file may get quite large, so periodically check your `user_data/backtest_results`
+folder to delete old exports.
+
+To analyze the buy tags, we need to use the `buy_reasons.py` script from
+[froggleston's repo](https://github.com/froggleston/freqtrade-buyreasons). Follow the instructions
+in their README to copy the script into your `freqtrade/scripts/` folder.
+
+Before running your next backtest, make sure you either delete your old backtest results or run
+backtesting with the `--cache none` option to make sure no cached results are used.
+
+If all goes well, you should now see a `backtest-result-{timestamp}_signals.pkl` file in the
+`user_data/backtest_results` folder.
+
+Now run the `buy_reasons.py` script, supplying a few options:
+
+``` bash
+python3 scripts/buy_reasons.py -c <config.json> -s <strategy_name> -t <timerange> -g0,1,2,3,4
+```
+
+The `-g` option is used to specify the various tabular outputs, ranging from the simplest (0)
+to the most detailed per pair, per buy and per sell tag (4). More options are available by
+running with the `-h` option.
+
+### Tuning the buy tags and sell tags to display
+
+To show only certain buy and sell tags in the displayed output, use the following two options:
+
+```
+--enter_reason_list : Comma separated list of enter signals to analyse. Default: "all"
+--exit_reason_list : Comma separated list of exit signals to analyse. Default: "stop_loss,trailing_stop_loss"
+```
+
+For example:
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/buy_reasons.py -c <config.json> -s <strategy_name> -t <timerange> -g0,1,2,3,4 --enter_reason_list "enter_tag_a,enter_tag_b" --exit_reason_list "roi,custom_exit_tag_a,stop_loss"
+```
+
+### Outputting signal candle indicators
+
+The real power of the buy_reasons.py script comes from the ability to print out the indicator
+values present on signal candles to allow fine-grained investigation and tuning of buy signal
+indicators. To print out a column for a given set of indicators, use the `--indicator-list`
+option:
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/buy_reasons.py -c <config.json> -s <strategy_name> -t <timerange> -g0,1,2,3,4 --enter_reason_list "enter_tag_a,enter_tag_b" --exit_reason_list "roi,custom_exit_tag_a,stop_loss" --indicator_list "rsi,rsi_1h,bb_lowerband,ema_9,macd,macdsignal"
+```
+
+The indicators have to be present in your strategy's main DataFrame (either for your main
+timeframe or for informative timeframes) otherwise they will simply be ignored in the script
+output.

 Multiple configuration files can be specified and used by the bot or the bot can read its configuration parameters from the process standard input stream.
 
+You can specify additional configuration files in `add_config_files`. Files specified in this parameter will be loaded and merged with the initial config file. The files are resolved relative to the initial configuration file.
+This is similar to using multiple `--config` parameters, but simpler in usage as you don't have to specify all files for all commands.
+
 !!! Tip "Use multiple configuration files to keep secrets secret"
     You can use a 2nd configuration file containing your secrets. That way you can share your "primary" configuration file, while still keeping your API keys for yourself.
 
+    ``` json title="user_data/config.json"
+    "add_config_files": [
+        "config-private.json"
+    ]
+    ```
+
+    ``` bash
+    freqtrade trade --config user_data/config.json <...>
+    ```
+
+    The 2nd file should only specify what you intend to override.
+    If a key is in more than one of the configurations, then the "last specified configuration" wins (in the above example, `config-private.json`).
+
+    For one-off commands, you can also use the below syntax by specifying multiple "--config" parameters.
+
     ``` bash
     freqtrade trade --config user_data/config.json --config user_data/config-private.json <...>
     ```
-    The 2nd file should only specify what you intend to override.
-    If a key is in more than one of the configurations, then the "last specified configuration" wins (in the above example, `config-private.json`).
+
+    This is equivalent to the example above - but `config-private.json` is specified as cli argument.
+
+??? Note "config collision handling"
+    If the same configuration setting takes place in both `config.json` and `config-import.json`, then the parent configuration wins.
+    In the below case, `max_open_trades` would be 3 after the merging - as the reusable "import" configuration has this key overwritten.
+
+    ``` json title="user_data/config.json"
+    {
+        "max_open_trades": 3,
+        "stake_currency": "USDT",

+
+We have put a great effort into keeping compatibility with existing strategies, so if you just want to continue using freqtrade in spot markets, there are no changes necessary.
+While we may drop support for the current interface sometime in the future, we will announce this separately and have an appropriate transition period.

+Please follow the [Strategy migration](strategy_migration.md) guide to migrate your strategy to the new format to start using the new functionalities.

+
+#### `buy_tag` has been renamed to `enter_tag`
+
+This should apply only to your strategy and potentially to webhooks.
+We will keep a compatibility layer for 1-2 versions (so both `buy_tag` and `enter_tag` will still work), but support for this in webhooks will disappear after that.
+
+#### Naming changes
+
+Webhook terminology changed from "sell" to "exit", and from "buy" to "entry".

+* `webhookbuyfill` -> `webhookentryfill`
+* `webhookbuycancel` -> `webhookentrycancel`

+# Trading with Leverage
+
+!!! Warning "Beta feature"
+    This feature is still in it's testing phase. Should you notice something you think is wrong please let us know via Discord or via Github Issue.
+
+!!! Note "Multiple bots on one account"
+    You can't run 2 bots on the same account with leverage. For leveraged / margin trading, freqtrade assumes it's the only user of the account, and all liquidation levels are calculated based on this assumption.
+
+!!! Danger "Trading with leverage is very risky"
+    Do not trade with a leverage > 1 using a strategy that hasn't shown positive results in a live run using the spot market. Check the stoploss of your strategy. With a leverage of 2, a stoploss of 0.5 (50%) would be too low, and these trades would be liquidated before reaching that stoploss.
+    We do not assume any responsibility for eventual losses that occur from using this software or this mode.
+
+    Please only use advanced trading modes when you know how freqtrade (and your strategy) works.
+    Also, never risk more than what you can afford to lose.
+
+Please read the [strategy migration guide](strategy_migration.md#strategy-migration-between-v2-and-v3) to migrate your strategy from a freqtrade v2 strategy, to v3 strategy that can short and trade futures.
+
+## Shorting
+
+Shorting is not possible when trading with [`trading_mode`](#understand-tradingmode) set to `spot`. To short trade, `trading_mode` must be set to `margin`(currently unavailable) or [`futures`](#futures), with [`margin_mode`](#margin-mode) set to `cross`(currently unavailable) or [`isolated`](#isolated-margin-mode)
+
+For a strategy to short, the strategy class must set the class variable `can_short = True`
+
+Please read [strategy customization](strategy-customization.md#entry-signal-rules) for instructions on how to set signals to enter and exit short trades.
+
+## Understand `trading_mode`
+
+The possible values are: `spot` (default), `margin`(*Currently unavailable*) or `futures`.
+
+### Spot
+
+Regular trading mode (low risk)
+
+- Long trades only (No short trades).
+- No leverage.
+- No Liquidation.
+- Profits gained/lost are equal to the change in value of the assets (minus trading fees).
+
+### Leverage trading modes
+
+With leverage, a trader borrows capital from the exchange. The capital must be re-payed fully to the exchange (potentially with interest), and the trader keeps any profits, or pays any losses, from any trades made using the borrowed capital.
+
+Because the capital must always be re-payed, exchanges will **liquidate** (forcefully sell the traders assets) a trade made using borrowed capital when the total value of assets in the leverage account drops to a certain point (a point where the total value of losses is less than the value of the collateral that the trader actually owns in the leverage account), in order to ensure that the trader has enough capital to pay the borrowed assets back to the exchange. The exchange will also charge a **liquidation fee**, adding to the traders losses.
+
+For this reason, **DO NOT TRADE WITH LEVERAGE IF YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOUR DOING. LEVERAGE TRADING IS HIGH RISK, AND CAN RESULT IN THE VALUE OF YOUR ASSETS DROPPING TO 0 VERY QUICKLY, WITH NO CHANCE OF INCREASING IN VALUE AGAIN.**
+
+#### Margin (currently unavailable)
+
+Trading occurs on the spot market, but the exchange lends currency to you in an amount equal to the chosen leverage. You pay the amount lent to you back to the exchange with interest, and your profits/losses are multiplied by the leverage specified.
+
+#### Futures
+
+Perpetual swaps (also known as Perpetual Futures) are contracts traded at a price that is closely tied to the underlying asset they are based off of (ex.). You are not trading the actual asset but instead are trading a derivative contract. Perpetual swap contracts can last indefinitely, in contrast to futures or option contracts.
+
+In addition to the gains/losses from the change in price of the futures contract, traders also exchange _funding fees_, which are gains/losses worth an amount that is derived from the difference in price between the futures contract and the underlying asset. The difference in price between a futures contract and the underlying asset varies between exchanges.
+
+To trade in futures markets, you'll have to set `trading_mode` to "futures".
+You will also have to pick a "margin mode" (explanation below) - with freqtrade currently only supporting isolated margin.
+
+``` json
+"trading_mode": "futures",
+"margin_mode": "isolated"
+```
+
+### Margin mode
+
+The possible values are: `isolated`, or `cross`(*currently unavailable*)
+
+#### Isolated margin mode
+
+Each market(trading pair), keeps collateral in a separate account
+
+``` json
+"margin_mode": "isolated"
+```
+
+#### Cross margin mode (currently unavailable)
+
+One account is used to share collateral between markets (trading pairs). Margin is taken from total account balance to avoid liquidation when needed.
+
+``` json
+"margin_mode": "cross"
+```
+
+## Understand `liquidation_buffer`
+
+*Defaults to `0.05`*
+
+A ratio specifying how large of a safety net to place between the liquidation price and the stoploss to prevent a position from reaching the liquidation price.
+This artificial liquidation price is calculated as:
+
+`freqtrade_liquidation_price = liquidation_price ± (abs(open_rate - liquidation_price) * liquidation_buffer)`
+
+- `±` = `+` for long trades
+- `±` = `-` for short trades
+
+Possible values are any floats between 0.0 and 0.99
+
+**ex:** If a trade is entered at a price of 10 coin/USDT, and the liquidation price of this trade is 8 coin/USDT, then with `liquidation_buffer` set to `0.05` the minimum stoploss for this trade would be $8 + ((10 - 8) * 0.05) = 8 + 0.1 = 8.1$
+
+!!! Danger "A `liquidation_buffer` of 0.0, or a low `liquidation_buffer` is likely to result in liquidations, and liquidation fees"
+    Currently Freqtrade is able to calculate liquidation prices, but does not calculate liquidation fees. Setting your `liquidation_buffer` to 0.0, or using a low `liquidation_buffer` could result in your positions being liquidated. Freqtrade does not track liquidation fees, so liquidations will result in inaccurate profit/loss results for your bot. If you use a low `liquidation_buffer`, it is recommended to use `stoploss_on_exchange` if your exchange supports this.
+
+### 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

-While the main strategy functions (`populate_indicators()`, `populate_buy_trend()`, `populate_sell_trend()`) should be used in a vectorized way, and are only called [once during backtesting](bot-basics.md#backtesting-hyperopt-execution-logic), callbacks are called "whenever needed".
+While the main strategy functions (`populate_indicators()`, `populate_entry_trend()`, `populate_exit_trend()`) should be used in a vectorized way, and are only called [once during backtesting](bot-basics.md#backtesting-hyperopt-execution-logic), callbacks are called "whenever needed".
 
 As such, you should avoid doing heavy calculations in callbacks to avoid delays during operations.
 Depending on the callback used, they may be called when entering / exiting a trade, or throughout the duration of a trade.

The traditional `stoploss` value serves as an absolute lower level and will be instated as the initial stoploss (before this method is called for the first time for a trade), and is still mandatory.

+## Extensive explanation
+
+### `populate_buy_trend`
+
+In `populate_buy_trend()` - you will want to change the columns you assign from `'buy`' to `'enter_long'`, as well as the method name from `populate_buy_trend` to `populate_entry_trend`.
+
+```python hl_lines="1 9"
+def populate_buy_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 30)) &  # Signal: RSI crosses above 30
+            (dataframe['tema'] <= dataframe['bb_middleband']) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)  # Make sure Volume is not 0
+        ),
+        ['buy', 'buy_tag']] = (1, 'rsi_cross')
+
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+After:
+
+```python hl_lines="1 9"
+def populate_entry_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 30)) &  # Signal: RSI crosses above 30
+            (dataframe['tema'] <= dataframe['bb_middleband']) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)  # Make sure Volume is not 0
+        ),
+        ['enter_long', 'enter_tag']] = (1, 'rsi_cross')
+
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+Please refer to the [Strategy documentation](strategy-customization.md#entry-signal-rules) on how to enter and exit short trades.
+
+### `populate_sell_trend`
+
+Similar to `populate_buy_trend`, `populate_sell_trend()` will be renamed to `populate_exit_trend()`.
+We'll also change the column from `'sell'` to `'exit_long'`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="1 9"
+def populate_sell_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 70)) &  # Signal: RSI crosses above 70
+            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['bb_middleband']) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['tema'] < dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)  # Make sure Volume is not 0
+        ),
+        ['sell', 'exit_tag']] = (1, 'some_exit_tag')
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+After
+
+``` python hl_lines="1 9"
+def populate_exit_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 70)) &  # Signal: RSI crosses above 70
+            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['bb_middleband']) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['tema'] < dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)  # Make sure Volume is not 0
+        ),
+        ['exit_long', 'exit_tag']] = (1, 'some_exit_tag')
+    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`.
+It's now also being called for every iteration, independent of current profit and `exit_profit_only` settings.
+
+``` python hl_lines="2"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def custom_sell(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: 'datetime', current_rate: float,
+                    current_profit: float, **kwargs):
+        dataframe, _ = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair, self.timeframe)
+        last_candle = dataframe.iloc[-1].squeeze()
+        # ...
+```
+
+``` python hl_lines="2"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def custom_exit(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: 'datetime', current_rate: float,
+                    current_profit: float, **kwargs):
+        dataframe, _ = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair, self.timeframe)
+        last_candle = dataframe.iloc[-1].squeeze()
+        # ...
+```
+
+### `custom_entry_timeout`
+
+`check_buy_timeout()` has been renamed to `check_entry_timeout()`, and `check_sell_timeout()` has been renamed to `check_exit_timeout()`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="2 6"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def check_buy_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict, 
+                            current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
+        return False
+
+    def check_sell_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict, 
+                            current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
+        return False 
+```
+
+``` python hl_lines="2 6"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def check_entry_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: 'Order', 
+                            current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
+        return False
+
+    def check_exit_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: 'Order', 
+                            current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
+        return False 
+```
+
+### Custom-stake-amount
+
+New string argument `side` - which can be either `"long"` or `"short"`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="4"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def custom_stake_amount(self, pair: str, current_time: datetime, current_rate: float,
+                            proposed_stake: float, min_stake: float, max_stake: float,
+                            entry_tag: Optional[str], **kwargs) -> float:
+        # ... 
+        return proposed_stake
+```
+
+``` python hl_lines="4"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def custom_stake_amount(self, pair: str, current_time: datetime, current_rate: float,

+        # ... 
+        return proposed_stake
+```
+
+### `confirm_trade_entry`
+
+New string argument `side` - which can be either `"long"` or `"short"`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="4"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def confirm_trade_entry(self, pair: str, order_type: str, amount: float, rate: float,
+                            time_in_force: str, current_time: datetime, entry_tag: Optional[str], 
+                            **kwargs) -> bool:
+      return True
+```
+
+After: 
+
+``` python hl_lines="4"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def confirm_trade_entry(self, pair: str, order_type: str, amount: float, rate: float,
+                            time_in_force: str, current_time: datetime, entry_tag: Optional[str], 
+                            side: str, **kwargs) -> bool:
+      return True
+```
+
+### `confirm_trade_exit`
+
+Changed argument `sell_reason` to `exit_reason`.
+For compatibility, `sell_reason` will still be provided for a limited time.
+
+``` python hl_lines="3"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def confirm_trade_exit(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, order_type: str, amount: float,
+                           rate: float, time_in_force: str, sell_reason: str,
+                           current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:

+                           rate: float, time_in_force: str, exit_reason: str,
+                           current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
+    return True
+```
+
+### `custom_entry_price`
+
+New string argument `side` - which can be either `"long"` or `"short"`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="3"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def custom_entry_price(self, pair: str, current_time: datetime, proposed_rate: float,
+                           entry_tag: Optional[str], **kwargs) -> float:

+    def custom_entry_price(self, pair: str, current_time: datetime, proposed_rate: float,
+                           entry_tag: Optional[str], side: str, **kwargs) -> float:
+      return proposed_rate
+```
+
+### Adjust trade position changes
+
+While adjust-trade-position itself did not change, you should no longer use `trade.nr_of_successful_buys` - and instead use `trade.nr_of_successful_entries`, which will also include short entries.
+
+### Helper methods
+
+Added argument "is_short" to `stoploss_from_open` and `stoploss_from_absolute`.
+This should be given the value of `trade.is_short`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="5 7"
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+        # once the profit has risen above 10%, keep the stoploss at 7% above the open price
+        if current_profit > 0.10:
+            return stoploss_from_open(0.07, current_profit)
+
+        return stoploss_from_absolute(current_rate - (candle['atr'] * 2), current_rate)
+
+        return 1
+
+```
+
+After:
+
+``` python hl_lines="5 7"
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+        # once the profit has risen above 10%, keep the stoploss at 7% above the open price
+        if current_profit > 0.10:
+            return stoploss_from_open(0.07, current_profit, is_short=trade.is_short)
+
+        return stoploss_from_absolute(current_rate - (candle['atr'] * 2), current_rate, is_short=trade.is_short)
+
+
+```
+
+### Strategy/Configuration settings
+
+#### `order_time_in_force`
+
+`order_time_in_force` attributes changed from `"buy"` to `"entry"` and `"sell"` to `"exit"`.
+
+``` python
+    order_time_in_force: Dict = {
+        "buy": "gtc",
+        "sell": "gtc",
+    }
+```

+        "exit": "gtc",
+    }
+```
+
+#### `order_types`
+
+`order_types` have changed all wordings from `buy` to `entry` - and `sell` to `exit`.
+And two words are joined with `_`. 
+
+``` python hl_lines="2-6"
+    order_types = {
+        "buy": "limit",
+        "sell": "limit",

+#### Strategy level settings
+
+* `use_sell_signal` -> `use_exit_signal`
+* `sell_profit_only` -> `exit_profit_only`
+* `sell_profit_offset` -> `exit_profit_offset`
+* `ignore_roi_if_buy_signal` -> `ignore_roi_if_entry_signal`
+

+    exit_profit_offset: 0.01
+    ignore_roi_if_entry_signal = False
+```
+
+#### `unfilledtimeout`
+
+`unfilledtimeout` have changed all wordings from `buy` to `entry` - and `sell` to `exit`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="2-3"

+        "unit": "minutes"
+    }
+```
+
+#### `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.
+Also, price-side can now be defined as `ask`, `bid`, `same` or `other`.
+Please refer to the [pricing documentation](configuration.md#prices-used-for-orders) for more information.
