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.

Results will be located in user_data/strategies/<strategyclassname>.py.

Sample usage of new-strategy

freqtrade new-strategy --strategy AwesomeStrategy

With custom user directory

freqtrade new-strategy --userdir ~/.freqtrade/ --strategy AwesomeStrategy

new-strategy complete options

usage: freqtrade new-strategy [-h] [--userdir PATH] [-s NAME]

                        (containing multiple sample indicators).

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.

                        Specify quote currency(-ies). Space-separated list.
  -a, --all             Print all pairs or market symbols. By default only
                        active ones are shown.

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:
