 | `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`.

 ## 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.

 ## 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/`. However, it is possible to customize and create your own prediction models using the `IFreqaiModel` class. You are encouraged to inherit `fit()`, `train()`, and `predict()` to let these customize various aspects of the training procedures.
 
-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)).
+### Setting classifier 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`.

+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:
 
 ```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):

-
-#### 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.

-
-#### 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).
+Additionally, the example classifier models do not accommodate multiple labels, but they do allow multi-class classification within a single label column.

 ## 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.
+Low level feature engineering is performed in the user strategy within a function called `populate_any_indicators()`. That function sets 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. One important syntax rule is that all `base features` string names are prepended with `%`, while labels/targets are prepended with `&`.
 
 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:

-### 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"`.

+The `inlier_metric` is a metric aimed at quantifying how similar a the features of a data point are to the most recent historic 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.

 | `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`.

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`.

-    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.

-### 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`).

 ### 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.
+An additional directory called `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.

+
+!!! Note:
+    `spice_rack` indicators should not be used exclusively for entries and exits, the following example is just a demonstration of syntax. `spice_rack` indicators should **always** be used to support existing strategies.
+
+The `spice_rack` is aimed at users who do not wish to deal with setting up `FreqAI` confgs, but instead prefer to interact with `FreqAI` similar to a `talib` indicator. In this case, the user can instead simply add two keys to their config:
+
+```json
+    "freqai_spice_rack": true, 
+    "freqai_identifier": "spicey-id",
+```
+
+Which tells `FreqAI` to set up a pre-set `FreqAI` instance automatically under the hood with preset parameters. Now the user can access a suite of custom `FreqAI` supercharged indicators inside their strategy by placing the following code into `populate_indicators`:
+
+```python
+        dataframe['dissimilarity_index'] = self.freqai.spice_rack(
+            'DI_values', dataframe, metadata, self)
+        dataframe['extrema'] = self.freqai.spice_rack(

+        self.freqai.close_spice_rack()  # user must close the spicerack
+```
+
+Users can then use these columns in concert with all their own additional indicators added to `populate_indicators` in their entry/exit criteria and strategy callback methods the same way as any typical indicator. For example:

 ## 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/).

     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.

-
-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.

-        "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.

-# 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
