# Plotting
|
|
|
|
This page explains how to plot prices, indicators and profits.
|
|
|
|
## Installation / Setup
|
|
|
|
Plotting modules use the Plotly library. You can install / upgrade this by running the following command:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
pip install -U -r requirements-plot.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Plot price and indicators
|
|
|
|
The `freqtrade plot-dataframe` subcommand shows an interactive graph with three subplots:
|
|
|
|
* Main plot with candlestics and indicators following price (sma/ema)
|
|
* Volume bars
|
|
* Additional indicators as specified by `--indicators2`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Possible arguments:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
usage: freqtrade plot-dataframe [-h] [-p PAIRS [PAIRS ...]]
|
|
[--indicators1 INDICATORS1 [INDICATORS1 ...]]
|
|
[--indicators2 INDICATORS2 [INDICATORS2 ...]]
|
|
[--plot-limit INT] [--db-url PATH]
|
|
[--trade-source {DB,file}] [--export EXPORT]
|
|
[--export-filename PATH]
|
|
[--timerange TIMERANGE]
|
|
|
|
optional arguments:
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
-p PAIRS [PAIRS ...], --pairs PAIRS [PAIRS ...]
|
|
Show profits for only these pairs. Pairs are space-
|
|
separated.
|
|
--indicators1 INDICATORS1 [INDICATORS1 ...]
|
|
Set indicators from your strategy you want in the
|
|
first row of the graph. Space-separated list. Example:
|
|
`ema3 ema5`. Default: `['sma', 'ema3', 'ema5']`.
|
|
--indicators2 INDICATORS2 [INDICATORS2 ...]
|
|
Set indicators from your strategy you want in the
|
|
third row of the graph. Space-separated list. Example:
|
|
`fastd fastk`. Default: `['macd', 'macdsignal']`.
|
|
--plot-limit INT Specify tick limit for plotting. Notice: too high
|
|
values cause huge files. Default: 750.
|
|
--db-url PATH Override trades database URL, this is useful in custom
|
|
deployments (default: `sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite` for
|
|
Live Run mode, `sqlite://` for Dry Run).
|
|
--trade-source {DB,file}
|
|
Specify the source for trades (Can be DB or file
|
|
(backtest file)) Default: file
|
|
--export EXPORT Export backtest results, argument are: trades.
|
|
Example: `--export=trades`
|
|
--export-filename PATH
|
|
Save backtest results to the file with this filename
|
|
(default: `user_data/backtest_results/backtest-
|
|
result.json`). Requires `--export` to be set as well.
|
|
Example: `--export-filename=user_data/backtest_results
|
|
/backtest_today.json`
|
|
--timerange TIMERANGE
|
|
Specify what timerange of data to use.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
freqtrade plot-dataframe -p BTC/ETH
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `-p/--pairs` argument can be used to specify pairs you would like to plot.
|
|
|
|
!!! Note
|
|
The `freqtrade plot-dataframe` subcommand generates one plot-file per pair.
|
|
|
|
Specify custom indicators.
|
|
Use `--indicators1` for the main plot and `--indicators2` for the subplot below (if values are in a different range than prices).
|
|
|
|
!!! tip
|
|
You will almost certainly want to specify a custom strategy! This can be done by adding `-s Classname` / `--strategy ClassName` to the command.
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
freqtrade --strategy AwesomeStrategy plot-dataframe -p BTC/ETH --indicators1 sma ema --indicators2 macd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Further usage examples
|
|
|
|
To plot multiple pairs, separate them with a space:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
freqtrade --strategy AwesomeStrategy plot-dataframe -p BTC/ETH XRP/ETH
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To plot a timerange (to zoom in)
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
freqtrade --strategy AwesomeStrategy plot-dataframe -p BTC/ETH --timerange=20180801-20180805
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To plot trades stored in a database use `--db-url` in combination with `--trade-source DB`:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
freqtrade --strategy AwesomeStrategy plot-dataframe --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.dry_run.sqlite -p BTC/ETH --trade-source DB
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To plot trades from a backtesting result, use `--export-filename <filename>`
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
freqtrade --strategy AwesomeStrategy plot-dataframe --export-filename user_data/backtest_results/backtest-result.json -p BTC/ETH
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Plot profit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `freqtrade plot-profit` subcommand shows an interactive graph with three plots:
|
|
|
|
1) Average closing price for all pairs
|
|
2) The summarized profit made by backtesting.
|
|
Note that this is not the real-world profit, but more of an estimate.
|
|
3) Profit for each individual pair
|
|
|
|
The first graph is good to get a grip of how the overall market progresses.
|
|
|
|
The second graph will show if your algorithm works or doesn't.
|
|
Perhaps you want an algorithm that steadily makes small profits, or one that acts less often, but makes big swings.
|
|
|
|
The third graph can be useful to spot outliers, events in pairs that cause profit spikes.
|
|
|
|
Possible options for the `freqtrade plot-profit` subcommand:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
usage: freqtrade plot-profit [-h] [-p PAIRS [PAIRS ...]]
|
|
[--timerange TIMERANGE] [--export EXPORT]
|
|
[--export-filename PATH] [--db-url PATH]
|
|
[--trade-source {DB,file}]
|
|
|
|
optional arguments:
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
-p PAIRS [PAIRS ...], --pairs PAIRS [PAIRS ...]
|
|
Show profits for only these pairs. Pairs are space-
|
|
separated.
|
|
--timerange TIMERANGE
|
|
Specify what timerange of data to use.
|
|
--export EXPORT Export backtest results, argument are: trades.
|
|
Example: `--export=trades`
|
|
--export-filename PATH
|
|
Save backtest results to the file with this filename
|
|
(default: `user_data/backtest_results/backtest-
|
|
result.json`). Requires `--export` to be set as well.
|
|
Example: `--export-filename=user_data/backtest_results
|
|
/backtest_today.json`
|
|
--db-url PATH Override trades database URL, this is useful in custom
|
|
deployments (default: `sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite` for
|
|
Live Run mode, `sqlite://` for Dry Run).
|
|
--trade-source {DB,file}
|
|
Specify the source for trades (Can be DB or file
|
|
(backtest file)) Default: file
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `-p/--pairs` argument, can be used to limit the pairs that are considered for this calculation.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
Use custom backtest-export file
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
freqtrade plot-profit -p LTC/BTC --export-filename user_data/backtest_results/backtest-result-Strategy005.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use custom database
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
freqtrade plot-profit -p LTC/BTC --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite --trade-source DB
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
freqtrade plot-profit --datadir ../freqtrade/freqtrade/tests/testdata-20171221/ -p LTC/BTC
|
|
```
