# Strategy Callbacks
|
|
|
|
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".
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Currently available callbacks:
|
|
|
|
* [`bot_loop_start()`](#bot-loop-start)
|
|
* [`custom_stake_amount()`](#custom-stake-size)
|
|
* [`custom_sell()`](#custom-sell-signal)
|
|
* [`custom_stoploss()`](#custom-stoploss)
|
|
* [`custom_entry_price()` and `custom_exit_price()`](#custom-order-price-rules)
|
|
* [`check_buy_timeout()` and `check_sell_timeout()](#custom-order-timeout-rules)
|
|
* [`confirm_trade_entry()`](#trade-entry-buy-order-confirmation)
|
|
* [`confirm_trade_exit()`](#trade-exit-sell-order-confirmation)
|
|
* [`adjust_trade_position()`](#adjust-trade-position)
|
|
|
|
!!! Tip "Callback calling sequence"
|
|
You can find the callback calling sequence in [bot-basics](bot-basics.md#bot-execution-logic)
|
|
|
|
## Bot loop start
|
|
|
|
A simple callback which is called once at the start of every bot throttling iteration (roughly every 5 seconds, unless configured differently).
|
|
This can be used to perform calculations which are pair independent (apply to all pairs), loading of external data, etc.
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
import requests
|
|
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
|
|
# ... populate_* methods
|
|
|
|
def bot_loop_start(self, **kwargs) -> None:
|
|
"""
|
|
Called at the start of the bot iteration (one loop).
|
|
Might be used to perform pair-independent tasks
|
|
(e.g. gather some remote resource for comparison)
|
|
:param **kwargs: Ensure to keep this here so updates to this won't break your strategy.
|
|
"""
|
|
if self.config['runmode'].value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
|
|
# Assign this to the class by using self.*
|
|
# can then be used by populate_* methods
|
|
self.remote_data = requests.get('https://some_remote_source.example.com')
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Custom Stake size
|
|
|
|
Called before entering a trade, makes it possible to manage your position size when placing a new trade.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
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,
|
|
**kwargs) -> float:
|
|
|
|
dataframe, _ = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair=pair, timeframe=self.timeframe)
|
|
current_candle = dataframe.iloc[-1].squeeze()
|
|
|
|
if current_candle['fastk_rsi_1h'] > current_candle['fastd_rsi_1h']:
|
|
if self.config['stake_amount'] == 'unlimited':
|
|
# Use entire available wallet during favorable conditions when in compounding mode.
|
|
return max_stake
|
|
else:
|
|
# Compound profits during favorable conditions instead of using a static stake.
|
|
return self.wallets.get_total_stake_amount() / self.config['max_open_trades']
|
|
|
|
# Use default stake amount.
|
|
return proposed_stake
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Freqtrade will fall back to the `proposed_stake` value should your code raise an exception. The exception itself will be logged.
|
|
|
|
!!! Tip
|
|
You do not _have_ to ensure that `min_stake <= returned_value <= max_stake`. Trades will succeed as the returned value will be clamped to supported range and this acton will be logged.
|
|
|
|
!!! Tip
|
|
Returning `0` or `None` will prevent trades from being placed.
|
|
|
|
## Custom sell signal
|
|
|
|
Called for open trade every throttling iteration (roughly every 5 seconds) until a trade is closed.
|
|
|
|
Allows to define custom sell signals, indicating that specified position should be sold. This is very useful when we need to customize sell conditions for each individual trade, or if you need trade data to make an exit decision.
|
|
|
|
For example you could implement a 1:2 risk-reward ROI with `custom_sell()`.
|
|
|
|
Using custom_sell() signals in place of stoploss though *is not recommended*. It is a inferior method to using `custom_stoploss()` in this regard - which also allows you to keep the stoploss on exchange.
|
|
|
|
!!! Note
|
|
Returning a (none-empty) `string` or `True` from this method is equal to setting sell signal on a candle at specified time. This method is not called when sell signal is set already, or if sell signals are disabled (`use_sell_signal=False` or `sell_profit_only=True` while profit is below `sell_profit_offset`). `string` max length is 64 characters. Exceeding this limit will cause the message to be truncated to 64 characters.
|
|
|
|
An example of how we can use different indicators depending on the current profit and also sell trades that were open longer than one day:
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
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()
|
|
|
|
# Above 20% profit, sell when rsi < 80
|
|
if current_profit > 0.2:
|
|
if last_candle['rsi'] < 80:
|
|
return 'rsi_below_80'
|
|
|
|
# Between 2% and 10%, sell if EMA-long above EMA-short
|
|
if 0.02 < current_profit < 0.1:
|
|
if last_candle['emalong'] > last_candle['emashort']:
|
|
return 'ema_long_below_80'
|
|
|
|
# Sell any positions at a loss if they are held for more than one day.
|
|
if current_profit < 0.0 and (current_time - trade.open_date_utc).days >= 1:
|
|
return 'unclog'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [Dataframe access](strategy-advanced.md#dataframe-access) for more information about dataframe use in strategy callbacks.
|
|
|
|
## Custom stoploss
|
|
|
|
Called for open trade every throttling iteration (roughly every 5 seconds) until a trade is closed.
|
|
The usage of the custom stoploss method must be enabled by setting `use_custom_stoploss=True` on the strategy object.
|
|
|
|
The stoploss price can only ever move upwards - if the stoploss value returned from `custom_stoploss` would result in a lower stoploss price than was previously set, it will be ignored. 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).
|
|
|
|
The method must return a stoploss value (float / number) as a percentage of the current price.
|
|
E.g. If the `current_rate` is 200 USD, then returning `0.02` will set the stoploss price 2% lower, at 196 USD.
|
|
|
|
The absolute value of the return value is used (the sign is ignored), so returning `0.05` or `-0.05` have the same result, a stoploss 5% below the current price.
|
|
|
|
To simulate a regular trailing stoploss of 4% (trailing 4% behind the maximum reached price) you would use the following very simple method:
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
# additional imports required
|
|
from datetime import datetime
|
|
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
|
|
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
|
|
# ... populate_* methods
|
|
|
|
use_custom_stoploss = True
|
|
|
|
def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
|
|
current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
|
|
"""
|
|
Custom stoploss logic, returning the new distance relative to current_rate (as ratio).
|
|
e.g. returning -0.05 would create a stoploss 5% below current_rate.
|
|
The custom stoploss can never be below self.stoploss, which serves as a hard maximum loss.
|
|
|
|
For full documentation please go to https://www.freqtrade.io/en/latest/strategy-advanced/
|
|
|
|
When not implemented by a strategy, returns the initial stoploss value
|
|
Only called when use_custom_stoploss is set to True.
|
|
|
|
:param pair: Pair that's currently analyzed
|
|
:param trade: trade object.
|
|
:param current_time: datetime object, containing the current datetime
|
|
:param current_rate: Rate, calculated based on pricing settings in ask_strategy.
|
|
:param current_profit: Current profit (as ratio), calculated based on current_rate.
|
|
:param **kwargs: Ensure to keep this here so updates to this won't break your strategy.
|
|
:return float: New stoploss value, relative to the current rate
|
|
"""
|
|
return -0.04
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Stoploss on exchange works similar to `trailing_stop`, and the stoploss on exchange is updated as configured in `stoploss_on_exchange_interval` ([More details about stoploss on exchange](stoploss.md#stop-loss-on-exchange-freqtrade)).
|
|
|
|
!!! Note "Use of dates"
|
|
All time-based calculations should be done based on `current_time` - using `datetime.now()` or `datetime.utcnow()` is discouraged, as this will break backtesting support.
|
|
|
|
!!! Tip "Trailing stoploss"
|
|
It's recommended to disable `trailing_stop` when using custom stoploss values. Both can work in tandem, but you might encounter the trailing stop to move the price higher while your custom function would not want this, causing conflicting behavior.
|
|
|
|
### Custom stoploss examples
|
|
|
|
The next section will show some examples on what's possible with the custom stoploss function.
|
|
Of course, many more things are possible, and all examples can be combined at will.
|
|
|
|
#### Time based trailing stop
|
|
|
|
Use the initial stoploss for the first 60 minutes, after this change to 10% trailing stoploss, and after 2 hours (120 minutes) we use a 5% trailing stoploss.
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
|
|
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
|
|
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
|
|
# ... populate_* methods
|
|
|
|
use_custom_stoploss = True
|
|
|
|
def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
|
|
current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
|
|
|
|
# Make sure you have the longest interval first - these conditions are evaluated from top to bottom.
|
|
if current_time - timedelta(minutes=120) > trade.open_date_utc:
|
|
return -0.05
|
|
elif current_time - timedelta(minutes=60) > trade.open_date_utc:
|
|
return -0.10
|
|
return 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Different stoploss per pair
|
|
|
|
Use a different stoploss depending on the pair.
|
|
In this example, we'll trail the highest price with 10% trailing stoploss for `ETH/BTC` and `XRP/BTC`, with 5% trailing stoploss for `LTC/BTC` and with 15% for all other pairs.
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
from datetime import datetime
|
|
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
|
|
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
|
|
# ... populate_* methods
|
|
|
|
use_custom_stoploss = True
|
|
|
|
def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
|
|
current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
|
|
|
|
if pair in ('ETH/BTC', 'XRP/BTC'):
|
|
return -0.10
|
|
elif pair in ('LTC/BTC'):
|
|
return -0.05
|
|
return -0.15
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Trailing stoploss with positive offset
|
|
|
|
Use the initial stoploss until the profit is above 4%, then use a trailing stoploss of 50% of the current profit with a minimum of 2.5% and a maximum of 5%.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the stoploss can only increase, values lower than the current stoploss are ignored.
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
|
|
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
|
|
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
|
|
# ... populate_* methods
|
|
|
|
use_custom_stoploss = True
|
|
|
|
def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
|
|
current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
|
|
|
|
if current_profit < 0.04:
|
|
return -1 # return a value bigger than the initial stoploss to keep using the initial stoploss
|
|
|
|
# After reaching the desired offset, allow the stoploss to trail by half the profit
|
|
desired_stoploss = current_profit / 2
|
|
|
|
# Use a minimum of 2.5% and a maximum of 5%
|
|
return max(min(desired_stoploss, 0.05), 0.025)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Stepped stoploss
|
|
|
|
Instead of continuously trailing behind the current price, this example sets fixed stoploss price levels based on the current profit.
|
|
|
|
* Use the regular stoploss until 20% profit is reached
|
|
* Once profit is > 20% - set stoploss to 7% above open price.
|
|
* Once profit is > 25% - set stoploss to 15% above open price.
|
|
* Once profit is > 40% - set stoploss to 25% above open price.
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
from datetime import datetime
|
|
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
|
|
from freqtrade.strategy import stoploss_from_open
|
|
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
|
|
# ... populate_* methods
|
|
|
|
use_custom_stoploss = True
|
|
|
|
def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
|
|
current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
|
|
|
|
# evaluate highest to lowest, so that highest possible stop is used
|
|
if current_profit > 0.40:
|
|
return stoploss_from_open(0.25, current_profit)
|
|
elif current_profit > 0.25:
|
|
return stoploss_from_open(0.15, current_profit)
|
|
elif current_profit > 0.20:
|
|
return stoploss_from_open(0.07, current_profit)
|
|
|
|
# return maximum stoploss value, keeping current stoploss price unchanged
|
|
return 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Custom stoploss using an indicator from dataframe example
|
|
|
|
Absolute stoploss value may be derived from indicators stored in dataframe. Example uses parabolic SAR below the price as stoploss.
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
|
|
def populate_indicators(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
|
|
# <...>
|
|
dataframe['sar'] = ta.SAR(dataframe)
|
|
|
|
use_custom_stoploss = True
|
|
|
|
def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
|
|
current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
|
|
|
|
dataframe, _ = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair, self.timeframe)
|
|
last_candle = dataframe.iloc[-1].squeeze()
|
|
|
|
# Use parabolic sar as absolute stoploss price
|
|
stoploss_price = last_candle['sar']
|
|
|
|
# Convert absolute price to percentage relative to current_rate
|
|
if stoploss_price < current_rate:
|
|
return (stoploss_price / current_rate) - 1
|
|
|
|
# return maximum stoploss value, keeping current stoploss price unchanged
|
|
return 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [Dataframe access](strategy-advanced.md#dataframe-access) for more information about dataframe use in strategy callbacks.
|
|
|
|
### Common helpers for stoploss calculations
|
|
|
|
#### Stoploss relative to open price
|
|
|
|
Stoploss values returned from `custom_stoploss()` always specify a percentage relative to `current_rate`. In order to set a stoploss relative to the *open* price, we need to use `current_profit` to calculate what percentage relative to the `current_rate` will give you the same result as if the percentage was specified from the open price.
|
|
|
|
The helper function [`stoploss_from_open()`](strategy-customization.md#stoploss_from_open) can be used to convert from an open price relative stop, to a current price relative stop which can be returned from `custom_stoploss()`.
|
|
|
|
#### Stoploss percentage from absolute price
|
|
|
|
Stoploss values returned from `custom_stoploss()` always specify a percentage relative to `current_rate`. In order to set a stoploss at specified absolute price level, we need to use `stop_rate` to calculate what percentage relative to the `current_rate` will give you the same result as if the percentage was specified from the open price.
|
|
|
|
The helper function [`stoploss_from_absolute()`](strategy-customization.md#stoploss_from_absolute) can be used to convert from an absolute price, to a current price relative stop which can be returned from `custom_stoploss()`.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Custom order price rules
|
|
|
|
By default, freqtrade use the orderbook to automatically set an order price([Relevant documentation](configuration.md#prices-used-for-orders)), you also have the option to create custom order prices based on your strategy.
|
|
|
|
You can use this feature by creating a `custom_entry_price()` function in your strategy file to customize entry prices and `custom_exit_price()` for exits.
|
|
|
|
Each of these methods are called right before placing an order on the exchange.
|
|
|
|
!!! Note
|
|
If your custom pricing function return None or an invalid value, price will fall back to `proposed_rate`, which is based on the regular pricing configuration.
|
|
|
|
### Custom order entry and exit price example
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone
|
|
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
|
|
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
|
|
# ... populate_* methods
|
|
|
|
def custom_entry_price(self, pair: str, current_time: datetime,
|
|
proposed_rate, **kwargs) -> float:
|
|
|
|
dataframe, last_updated = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair=pair,
|
|
timeframe=self.timeframe)
|
|
new_entryprice = dataframe['bollinger_10_lowerband'].iat[-1]
|
|
|
|
return new_entryprice
|
|
|
|
def custom_exit_price(self, pair: str, trade: Trade,
|
|
current_time: datetime, proposed_rate: float,
|
|
current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
|
|
|
|
dataframe, last_updated = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair=pair,
|
|
timeframe=self.timeframe)
|
|
new_exitprice = dataframe['bollinger_10_upperband'].iat[-1]
|
|
|
|
return new_exitprice
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! Warning
|
|
Modifying entry and exit prices will only work for limit orders. Depending on the price chosen, this can result in a lot of unfilled orders. By default the maximum allowed distance between the current price and the custom price is 2%, this value can be changed in config with the `custom_price_max_distance_ratio` parameter.
|
|
**Example**:
|
|
If the new_entryprice is 97, the proposed_rate is 100 and the `custom_price_max_distance_ratio` is set to 2%, The retained valid custom entry price will be 98, which is 2% below the current (proposed) rate.
|
|
|
|
!!! Warning "Backtesting"
|
|
While Custom prices are supported in backtesting (starting with 2021.12), prices will be moved to within the candle's high/low prices.
|
|
This behavior is currently being tested, and might be changed at a later point.
|
|
`custom_exit_price()` is only called for sells of type Sell_signal and Custom sell. All other sell-types will use regular backtesting prices.
|
|
|
|
## Custom order timeout rules
|
|
|
|
Simple, time-based order-timeouts can be configured either via strategy or in the configuration in the `unfilledtimeout` section.
|
|
|
|
However, freqtrade also offers a custom callback for both order types, which allows you to decide based on custom criteria if an order did time out or not.
|
|
|
|
!!! Note
|
|
Unfilled order timeouts are not relevant during backtesting or hyperopt, and are only relevant during real (live) trading. Therefore these methods are only called in these circumstances.
|
|
|
|
### Custom order timeout example
|
|
|
|
Called for every open order until that order is either filled or cancelled.
|
|
`check_buy_timeout()` is called for trade entries, while `check_sell_timeout()` is called for trade exit orders.
|
|
|
|
A simple example, which applies different unfilled-timeouts depending on the price of the asset can be seen below.
|
|
It applies a tight timeout for higher priced assets, while allowing more time to fill on cheap coins.
|
|
|
|
The function must return either `True` (cancel order) or `False` (keep order alive).
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone
|
|
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
|
|
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
|
|
# ... populate_* methods
|
|
|
|
# Set unfilledtimeout to 25 hours, since the maximum timeout from below is 24 hours.
|
|
unfilledtimeout = {
|
|
'buy': 60 * 25,
|
|
'sell': 60 * 25
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
def check_buy_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:
|
|
if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(minutes=5):
|
|
return True
|
|
elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(minutes=3):
|
|
return True
|
|
elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(hours=24):
|
|
return True
|
|
return False
|
|
|
|
|
|
def check_sell_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:
|
|
if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(minutes=5):
|
|
return True
|
|
elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(minutes=3):
|
|
return True
|
|
elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(hours=24):
|
|
return True
|
|
return False
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! Note
|
|
For the above example, `unfilledtimeout` must be set to something bigger than 24h, otherwise that type of timeout will apply first.
|
|

### Custom order timeout example (using additional data)
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
from datetime import datetime
|
|
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
|
|
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
|
|
# ... populate_* methods
|
|
|
|
# Set unfilledtimeout to 25 hours, since the maximum timeout from below is 24 hours.
|
|
unfilledtimeout = {
|
|
'buy': 60 * 25,
|
|
'sell': 60 * 25
|
|
}

## Bot order confirmation
|
|
|
|
Confirm trade entry / exits.
|
|
This are the last methods that will be called before an order is placed.
|
|
|
|
### Trade entry (buy order) confirmation
|
|
|
|
`confirm_trade_entry()` can be used to abort a trade entry at the latest second (maybe because the price is not what we expect).
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
|
|
# ... populate_* methods
|
|
|
|
def confirm_trade_entry(self, pair: str, order_type: str, amount: float, rate: float,
|
|
time_in_force: str, current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:

Timing for this function is critical, so avoid doing heavy computations or
|
|

|
|
### Trade exit (sell order) confirmation
|
|
|
|
`confirm_trade_exit()` can be used to abort a trade exit (sell) at the latest second (maybe because the price is not what we expect).
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
|
|

## Adjust trade position
|
|
|
|
`adjust_trade_position()` can be used to perform additional orders to manage risk with DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging).
|
|
The strategy is expected to return a stake_amount if and when an additional buy order should be made (position is increased).
|
|
If there is not enough funds in the wallet then nothing will happen.
|
|
Additional orders also mean additional fees and those orders don't count towards `max_open_trades`.
|
|
Unlimited stake amount with trade position increasing is highly not recommended as your DCA orders would compete with your normal trade open orders.
|
|
|
|
!!! Note
|
|
Current implementation does not support decreasing position size with partial sales!
|
|
|
|
!!! Tip
|
|
The `position_adjustment_enable` configuration parameter must be enabled to use adjust_trade_position callback in strategy.
|
|
|
|
!!! Warning
|
|
Stoploss is still calculated from the initial opening price, not averaged price.
|
|
So if you do 3 additional buys at -7% and have a stoploss at -10% then you will most likely trigger stoploss while the UI will be showing you an average profit of -3%.

|
