# Deprecated features
|
|
|
|
This page contains description of the command line arguments, configuration parameters
|
|
and the bot features that were declared as DEPRECATED by the bot development team
|
|
and are no longer supported. Please avoid their usage in your configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Removed features
|
|
|
|
### the `--refresh-pairs-cached` command line option
|
|
|
|
`--refresh-pairs-cached` in the context of backtesting, hyperopt and edge allows to refresh candle data for backtesting.
|
|
Since this leads to much confusion, and slows down backtesting (while not being part of backtesting) this has been singled out as a separate freqtrade sub-command `freqtrade download-data`.
|
|
|
|
This command line option was deprecated in 2019.7-dev (develop branch) and removed in 2019.9.
|
|
|
|
### The **--dynamic-whitelist** command line option
|
|
|
|
This command line option was deprecated in 2018 and removed freqtrade 2019.6-dev (develop branch) and in freqtrade 2019.7.
|
|
Please refer to [pairlists](plugins.md#pairlists-and-pairlist-handlers) instead.
|
|
|
|
### the `--live` command line option
|
|
|
|
`--live` in the context of backtesting allowed to download the latest tick data for backtesting.
|
|
Did only download the latest 500 candles, so was ineffective in getting good backtest data.
|
|
Removed in 2019-7-dev (develop branch) and in freqtrade 2019.8.
|
|
|
|
### `ticker_interval` (now `timeframe`)
|
|
|
|
Support for `ticker_interval` terminology was deprecated in 2020.6 in favor of `timeframe` - and compatibility code was removed in 2022.3.
|
|
|
|
### Allow running multiple pairlists in sequence
|
|
|
|
The former `"pairlist"` section in the configuration has been removed, and is replaced by `"pairlists"` - being a list to specify a sequence of pairlists.
|
|
|
|
The old section of configuration parameters (`"pairlist"`) has been deprecated in 2019.11 and has been removed in 2020.4.
|
|
|
|
### deprecation of bidVolume and askVolume from volume-pairlist
|
|
|
|
Since only quoteVolume can be compared between assets, the other options (bidVolume, askVolume) have been deprecated in 2020.4, and have been removed in 2020.9.
|
|
|
|
### Using order book steps for exit price
|
|
|
|
Using `order_book_min` and `order_book_max` used to allow stepping the orderbook and trying to find the next ROI slot - trying to place sell-orders early.
|
|
As this does however increase risk and provides no benefit, it's been removed for maintainability purposes in 2021.7.
|
|
|
|
### Legacy Hyperopt mode
|
|
|
|
Using separate hyperopt files was deprecated in 2021.4 and was removed in 2021.9.
|
|
Please switch to the new [Parametrized Strategies](hyperopt.md) to benefit from the new hyperopt interface.
|
|
|
|
## Strategy changes between V2 and V3
|
|
|
|
Isolated Futures / short trading was introduced in 2022.4. This required major changes to configuration settings, strategy interfaces, ...
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
### webhooks - changes with 2022.4
|
|
|
|
#### `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", removing "webhook" in the process.
|
|
|
|
* `webhookbuy`, `webhookentry` -> `entry`
|
|
* `webhookbuyfill`, `webhookentryfill` -> `entry_fill`
|
|
* `webhookbuycancel`, `webhookentrycancel` -> `entry_cancel`
|
|
* `webhooksell`, `webhookexit` -> `exit`
|
|
* `webhooksellfill`, `webhookexitfill` -> `exit_fill`
|
|
* `webhooksellcancel`, `webhookexitcancel` -> `exit_cancel`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Removal of `populate_any_indicators`
|
|
|
|
version 2023.3 saw the removal of `populate_any_indicators` in favor of split methods for feature engineering and targets. Please read the [migration document](strategy_migration.md#freqai-strategy) for full details.
