# Strategy analysis example
|
|
|
|
Debugging a strategy can be time-consuming. FreqTrade offers helper functions to visualize raw data.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from pathlib import Path
|
|
# Customize these according to your needs.
|
|
|
|
# Define some constants
|
|
timeframe = "5m"
|
|
# Name of the strategy class
|
|
strategy_name = 'SampleStrategy'
|
|
# Path to user data
|
|
user_data_dir = Path('user_data')
|
|
# Location of the strategy
|
|
strategy_location = user_data_dir / 'strategies'
|
|
# Location of the data
|
|
data_location = Path(user_data_dir, 'data', 'binance')
|
|
# Pair to analyze - Only use one pair here
|
|
pair = "BTC_USDT"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Load data using values set above
|
|
from freqtrade.data.history import load_pair_history
|
|
|
|
candles = load_pair_history(datadir=data_location,
|
|
timeframe=timeframe,
|
|
pair=pair)
|
|
|
|
# Confirm success
|
|
print("Loaded " + str(len(candles)) + f" rows of data for {pair} from {data_location}")
|
|
candles.head()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Load and run strategy
|
|
* Rerun each time the strategy file is changed
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Load strategy using values set above
|
|
from freqtrade.resolvers import StrategyResolver
|
|
strategy = StrategyResolver.load_strategy({'strategy': strategy_name,
|
|
'user_data_dir': user_data_dir,
|
|
'strategy_path': strategy_location})
|
|
|
|
# Generate buy/sell signals using strategy
|
|
df = strategy.analyze_ticker(candles, {'pair': pair})
|
|
df.tail()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Display the trade details
|
|
|
|
* Note that using `data.head()` would also work, however most indicators have some "startup" data at the top of the dataframe.
|
|
* Some possible problems
|
|
* Columns with NaN values at the end of the dataframe
|
|
* Columns used in `crossed*()` functions with completely different units
|
|
* Comparison with full backtest
|
|
* having 200 buy signals as output for one pair from `analyze_ticker()` does not necessarily mean that 200 trades will be made during backtesting.
|
|
* Assuming you use only one condition such as, `df['rsi'] < 30` as buy condition, this will generate multiple "buy" signals for each pair in sequence (until rsi returns > 29). The bot will only buy on the first of these signals (and also only if a trade-slot ("max_open_trades") is still available), or on one of the middle signals, as soon as a "slot" becomes available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Report results
|
|
print(f"Generated {df['buy'].sum()} buy signals")
|
|
data = df.set_index('date', drop=False)
|
|
data.tail()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Load existing objects into a Jupyter notebook
|
|
|
|
The following cells assume that you have already generated data using the cli.
|
|
They will allow you to drill deeper into your results, and perform analysis which otherwise would make the output very difficult to digest due to information overload.
|
|
|
|
### Load backtest results to pandas dataframe
|
|
|
|
Analyze a trades dataframe (also used below for plotting)
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from freqtrade.data.btanalysis import load_backtest_data
|
|
|
|
# Load backtest results
|
|
trades = load_backtest_data(user_data_dir / "backtest_results/backtest-result.json")
|
|
|
|
# Show value-counts per pair
|
|
trades.groupby("pair")["sell_reason"].value_counts()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Load live trading results into a pandas dataframe
|
|
|
|
In case you did already some trading and want to analyze your performance
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from freqtrade.data.btanalysis import load_trades_from_db
|
|
|
|
# Fetch trades from database
|
|
trades = load_trades_from_db("sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite")
|
|
|
|
# Display results
|
|
trades.groupby("pair")["sell_reason"].value_counts()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Analyze the loaded trades for trade parallelism
|
|
This can be useful to find the best `max_open_trades` parameter, when used with backtesting in conjunction with `--disable-max-market-positions`.
|
|
|
|
`analyze_trade_parallelism()` returns a timeseries dataframe with an "open_trades" column, specifying the number of open trades for each candle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from freqtrade.data.btanalysis import analyze_trade_parallelism
|
|
|
|
# Analyze the above
|
|
parallel_trades = analyze_trade_parallelism(trades, '5m')
|
|
|
|
|
|
parallel_trades.plot()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Plot results
|
|
|
|
Freqtrade offers interactive plotting capabilities based on plotly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from freqtrade.plot.plotting import generate_candlestick_graph
|
|
# Limit graph period to keep plotly quick and reactive
|
|
|
|
data_red = data['2019-06-01':'2019-06-10']
|
|
# Generate candlestick graph
|
|
graph = generate_candlestick_graph(pair=pair,
|
|
data=data_red,
|
|
trades=trades,
|
|
indicators1=['sma20', 'ema50', 'ema55'],
|
|
indicators2=['rsi', 'macd', 'macdsignal', 'macdhist']
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Show graph inline
|
|
# graph.show()
|
|
|
|
# Render graph in a seperate window
|
|
graph.show(renderer="browser")
|
|
|
|
```
|
