# Utility Subcommands
Besides the Live-Trade and Dry-Run run modes, the `backtesting`, `edge` and `hyperopt` optimization subcommands, and the `download-data` subcommand which prepares historical data, the bot contains a number of utility subcommands. They are described in this section.
## Create userdir
Creates the directory structure to hold your files for freqtrade.
Will also create strategy and hyperopt examples for you to get started.
Can be used multiple times - using `--reset` will reset the sample strategy and hyperopt files to their default state.
```
usage: freqtrade create-userdir [-h] [--userdir PATH] [--reset]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH
Path to userdata directory.
--reset Reset sample files to their original state.
```
!!! Warning
Using `--reset` may result in loss of data, since this will overwrite all sample files without asking again.

## Create new strategy
Creates a new strategy from a template similar to SampleStrategy.
The file will be named inline with your class name, and will not overwrite existing files.
Results will be located in `user_data/strategies/<strategyclassname>.py`.
``` output
usage: freqtrade new-strategy [-h] [--userdir PATH] [-s NAME]
[--template {full,minimal}]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH
Path to userdata directory.
-s NAME, --strategy NAME
Specify strategy class name which will be used by the
bot.
--template {full,minimal}
Use a template which is either `minimal` or `full`
(containing multiple sample indicators). Default:
`full`.
```
### Sample usage of new-strategy
```bash
freqtrade new-strategy --strategy AwesomeStrategy
```
With custom user directory
```bash
freqtrade new-strategy --userdir ~/.freqtrade/ --strategy AwesomeStrategy
```
## Create new hyperopt
Creates a new hyperopt from a template similar to SampleHyperopt.
The file will be named inline with your class name, and will not overwrite existing files.
Results will be located in `user_data/hyperopts/<classname>.py`.
``` output
usage: freqtrade new-hyperopt [-h] [--userdir PATH] [--hyperopt NAME]
[--template {full,minimal}]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH
Path to userdata directory.
--hyperopt NAME Specify hyperopt class name which will be used by the
bot.
--template {full,minimal}
Use a template which is either `minimal` or `full`
(containing multiple sample indicators). Default:
`full`.
```
### Sample usage of new-hyperopt
```bash
freqtrade new-hyperopt --hyperopt AwesomeHyperopt
```
With custom user directory
```bash
freqtrade new-hyperopt --userdir ~/.freqtrade/ --hyperopt AwesomeHyperopt
```
## List Strategies and List Hyperopts
Use the `list-strategies` subcommand to see all strategies in one particular directory and the `list-hyperopts` subcommand to list custom Hyperopts.
```
freqtrade list-strategies --help
usage: freqtrade list-strategies [-h] [-v] [--logfile FILE] [-V] [-c PATH] [-d PATH] [--userdir PATH] [--strategy-path PATH] [-1]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--strategy-path PATH Specify additional strategy lookup path.
-1, --one-column Print output in one column.
Common arguments:
-v, --verbose Verbose mode (-vv for more, -vvv to get all messages).
--logfile FILE Log to the file specified. Special values are: 'syslog', 'journald'. See the documentation for more details.
-V, --version show program's version number and exit
-c PATH, --config PATH
Specify configuration file (default: `config.json`). Multiple --config options may be used. Can be set to `-`
to read config from stdin.
-d PATH, --datadir PATH
Path to directory with historical backtesting data.
--userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH
Path to userdata directory.
```
```
freqtrade list-hyperopts --help
usage: freqtrade list-hyperopts [-h] [-v] [--logfile FILE] [-V] [-c PATH]
[-d PATH] [--userdir PATH]
[--hyperopt-path PATH] [-1]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--hyperopt-path PATH Specify additional lookup path for Hyperopt and
Hyperopt Loss functions.
-1, --one-column Print output in one column.
Common arguments:
-v, --verbose Verbose mode (-vv for more, -vvv to get all messages).

'syslog', 'journald'. See the documentation for more
details.
-V, --version show program's version number and exit
-c PATH, --config PATH
Specify configuration file (default: `config.json`).
Multiple --config options may be used. Can be set to
`-` to read config from stdin.
-d PATH, --datadir PATH
Path to directory with historical backtesting data.
--userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH
Path to userdata directory.
```
!!! Warning
Using these commands will try to load all python files from a directory. This can be a security risk if untrusted files reside in this directory, since all module-level code is executed.
Example: Search default strategies and hyperopts directories (within the default userdir).
``` bash
freqtrade list-strategies
freqtrade list-hyperopts
```
Example: Search strategies and hyperopts directory within the userdir.
``` bash
freqtrade list-strategies --userdir ~/.freqtrade/
freqtrade list-hyperopts --userdir ~/.freqtrade/
```
Example: Search dedicated strategy path.
``` bash
freqtrade list-strategies --strategy-path ~/.freqtrade/strategies/
```
Example: Search dedicated hyperopt path.
``` bash
freqtrade list-hyperopt --hyperopt-path ~/.freqtrade/hyperopts/
```

```
* Example: enumerate exchanges available for Freqtrade and print timeframes supported by each of them:
```
$ for i in `freqtrade list-exchanges -1`; do freqtrade list-timeframes --exchange $i; done
```
## List pairs/list markets
The `list-pairs` and `list-markets` subcommands allow to see the pairs/markets available on exchange.
Pairs are markets with the '/' character between the base currency part and the quote currency part in the market symbol.
For example, in the 'ETH/BTC' pair 'ETH' is the base currency, while 'BTC' is the quote currency.
For pairs traded by Freqtrade the pair quote currency is defined by the value of the `stake_currency` configuration setting.
You can print info about any pair/market with these subcommands - and you can filter output by quote-currency using `--quote BTC`, or by base-currency using `--base ETH` options correspondingly.
These subcommands have same usage and same set of available options:
```
usage: freqtrade list-markets [-h] [--exchange EXCHANGE] [--print-list]
[--print-json] [-1] [--print-csv]
[--base BASE_CURRENCY [BASE_CURRENCY ...]]
[--quote QUOTE_CURRENCY [QUOTE_CURRENCY ...]]
[-a]
usage: freqtrade list-pairs [-h] [--exchange EXCHANGE] [--print-list]
[--print-json] [-1] [--print-csv]
[--base BASE_CURRENCY [BASE_CURRENCY ...]]
[--quote QUOTE_CURRENCY [QUOTE_CURRENCY ...]] [-a]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--exchange EXCHANGE Exchange name (default: `bittrex`). Only valid if no
config is provided.
--print-list Print list of pairs or market symbols. By default data
is printed in the tabular format.
--print-json Print list of pairs or market symbols in JSON format.
-1, --one-column Print output in one column.
--print-csv Print exchange pair or market data in the csv format.
--base BASE_CURRENCY [BASE_CURRENCY ...]
Specify base currency(-ies). Space-separated list.
--quote QUOTE_CURRENCY [QUOTE_CURRENCY ...]
Specify quote currency(-ies). Space-separated list.
-a, --all Print all pairs or market symbols. By default only
active ones are shown.
```
By default, only active pairs/markets are shown. Active pairs/markets are those that can currently be traded
on the exchange. The see the list of all pairs/markets (not only the active ones), use the `-a`/`-all` option.
Pairs/markets are sorted by its symbol string in the printed output.
### Examples
* Print the list of active pairs with quote currency USD on exchange, specified in the default
configuration file (i.e. pairs on the "Bittrex" exchange) in JSON format:
```
$ freqtrade list-pairs --quote USD --print-json
```
* Print the list of all pairs on the exchange, specified in the `config_binance.json` configuration file
(i.e. on the "Binance" exchange) with base currencies BTC or ETH and quote currencies USDT or USD, as the
human-readable list with summary:
```
$ freqtrade -c config_binance.json list-pairs --all --base BTC ETH --quote USDT USD --print-list
```
* Print all markets on exchange "Kraken", in the tabular format:
```
$ freqtrade list-markets --exchange kraken --all
```
## Test pairlist
Use the `test-pairlist` subcommand to test the configuration of [dynamic pairlists](configuration.md#pairlists).
Requires a configuration with specified `pairlists` attribute.
Can be used to generate static pairlists to be used during backtesting / hyperopt.
```
usage: freqtrade test-pairlist [-h] [-c PATH]
[--quote QUOTE_CURRENCY [QUOTE_CURRENCY ...]]
[-1] [--print-json]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c PATH, --config PATH
Specify configuration file (default: `config.json`).
Multiple --config options may be used. Can be set to
`-` to read config from stdin.
--quote QUOTE_CURRENCY [QUOTE_CURRENCY ...]
Specify quote currency(-ies). Space-separated list.
-1, --one-column Print output in one column.
--print-json Print list of pairs or market symbols in JSON format.
```
### Examples
Show whitelist when using a [dynamic pairlist](configuration.md#pairlists).
```
freqtrade test-pairlist --config config.json --quote USDT BTC
```
## List Hyperopt results
You can list the hyperoptimization epochs the Hyperopt module evaluated previously with the `hyperopt-list` subcommand.
```
usage: freqtrade hyperopt-list [-h] [-v] [--logfile FILE] [-V] [-c PATH]
[-d PATH] [--userdir PATH] [--best]
[--profitable] [--no-color] [--print-json]
[--no-details]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--best Select only best epochs.
--profitable Select only profitable epochs.
--no-color Disable colorization of hyperopt results. May be
useful if you are redirecting output to a file.
--print-json Print best result detailization in JSON format.
--no-details Do not print best epoch details.
```
### Examples
List all results, print details of the best result at the end:
```
freqtrade hyperopt-list
```
List only epochs with positive profit. Do not print the details of the best epoch, so that the list can be iterated in a script:
```
freqtrade hyperopt-list --profitable --no-details
```
## Show details of Hyperopt results
You can show the details of any hyperoptimization epoch previously evaluated by the Hyperopt module with the `hyperopt-show` subcommand.
```
usage: freqtrade hyperopt-show [-h] [-v] [--logfile FILE] [-V] [-c PATH]
[-d PATH] [--userdir PATH] [--best]
[--profitable] [-n INT] [--print-json]
[--no-header]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--best Select only best epochs.
--profitable Select only profitable epochs.
-n INT, --index INT Specify the index of the epoch to print details for.
--print-json Print best result detailization in JSON format.
--no-header Do not print epoch details header.
```
### Examples
Print details for the epoch 168 (the number of the epoch is shown by the `hyperopt-list` subcommand or by Hyperopt itself during hyperoptimization run):
```
freqtrade hyperopt-show -n 168
```
Prints JSON data with details for the last best epoch (i.e., the best of all epochs):
```
freqtrade hyperopt-show --best -n -1 --print-json --no-header
```
