# Strategy Migration between V2 and V3
|
|
|
|
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 should be no changes necessary for now.
|
|
|
|
To support new markets and trade-types (namely short trades / trades with leverage), some things had to change in the interface.
|
|
If you intend on using markets other than spot markets, please migrate your strategy to the new format.
|
|
|
|
## Quick summary / migration checklist
|
|
|
|
* Strategy methods:
|
|
* `populate_buy_trend()` -> `populate_entry_trend()`
|
|
* `populate_sell_trend()` -> `populate_exit_trend()`
|
|
* `custom_sell()` -> `custom_exit()`
|
|
* `check_buy_timeout()` -> `check_entry_timeout()`
|
|
* `check_sell_timeout()` -> `check_exit_timeout()`
|
|
* Dataframe columns:
|
|
* `buy` -> `enter_long`
|
|
* `sell` -> `exit_long`
|
|
* `buy_tag` -> `enter_tag` (used for both long and short trades)
|
|
* New column `enter_short` and corresponding new column `exit_short`
|
|
* trade-object now has the following new properties: `is_short`, `enter_side`, `exit_side` and `trade_direction`.
|
|
* New `side` argument to callbacks without trade object
|
|
* `custom_stake_amount`
|
|
* `confirm_trade_entry`
|
|
* Changed argument name in `confirm_trade_exit`
|
|
* Renamed `trade.nr_of_successful_buys` to `trade.nr_of_successful_entries` (mostly relevant for `adjust_trade_position()`).
|
|
* Introduced new [`leverage` callback](strategy-callbacks.md#leverage-callback).
|
|
* Informative pairs can now pass a 3rd element in the Tuple, defining the candle type.
|
|
* `@informative` decorator now takes an optional `candle_type` argument.
|
|
* helper methods `stoploss_from_open` and `stoploss_from_absolute` now take `is_short` as additional argument.
|
|
* `INTERFACE_VERSION` should be set to 3.
|
|
* Strategy/Configuration settings.
|
|
* `order_time_in_force` buy -> entry, sell -> exit.
|
|
* `order_types` buy -> entry, sell -> exit.
|
|
* `unfilledtimeout` buy -> entry, sell -> exit.
|
|
|
|
## Extensive explanation
|
|
|
|
### `populate_buy_trend`
|
|
|
|
In `populate_buy_trend()` - you will want to change the columns you assign from `'buy`' to `'enter_long`, as well as the method name from `populate_buy_trend` to `populate_entry_trend`.
|
|
|
|
```python hl_lines="1 9"
|
|
def populate_buy_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
|
|
dataframe.loc[
|
|
(
|
|
(qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 30)) & # Signal: RSI crosses above 30
|
|
(dataframe['tema'] <= dataframe['bb_middleband']) & # Guard
|
|
(dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) & # Guard
|
|
(dataframe['volume'] > 0) # Make sure Volume is not 0
|
|
),
|
|
['buy', 'buy_tag']] = (1, 'rsi_cross')
|
|
|
|
return dataframe
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After:
|
|
|
|
```python hl_lines="1 9"
|
|
def populate_entry_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
|
|
dataframe.loc[
|
|
(
|
|
(qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 30)) & # Signal: RSI crosses above 30
|
|
(dataframe['tema'] <= dataframe['bb_middleband']) & # Guard
|
|
(dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) & # Guard
|
|
(dataframe['volume'] > 0) # Make sure Volume is not 0
|
|
),
|
|
['enter_long', 'enter_tag']] = (1, 'rsi_cross')
|
|
|
|
return dataframe
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the [Strategy documentation](strategy-customization.md#entry-signal-rules) on how to enter and exit short trades.
|
|
|
|
### `populate_sell_trend`
|
|
|
|
Similar to `populate_buy_trend`, `populate_sell_trend()` will be renamed to `populate_exit_trend()`.
|
|
We'll also change the column from `"sell"` to `"exit_long"`.
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="1 9"
|
|
def populate_sell_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
|
|
dataframe.loc[
|
|
(
|
|
(qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 70)) & # Signal: RSI crosses above 70
|
|
(dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['bb_middleband']) & # Guard
|
|
(dataframe['tema'] < dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) & # Guard
|
|
(dataframe['volume'] > 0) # Make sure Volume is not 0
|
|
),
|
|
['sell', 'exit_tag']] = (1, 'some_exit_tag')
|
|
return dataframe
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="1 9"
|
|
def populate_exit_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
|
|
dataframe.loc[
|
|
(
|
|
(qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 70)) & # Signal: RSI crosses above 70
|
|
(dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['bb_middleband']) & # Guard
|
|
(dataframe['tema'] < dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) & # Guard
|
|
(dataframe['volume'] > 0) # Make sure Volume is not 0
|
|
),
|
|
['exit_long', 'exit_tag']] = (1, 'some_exit_tag')
|
|
return dataframe
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the [Strategy documentation](strategy-customization.md#exit-signal-rules) on how to enter and exit short trades.
|
|
|
|
### `custom_sell`
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="2"
|
|
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()
|
|
# ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="2"
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
def custom_exit(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()
|
|
# ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `custom_entry_timeout`
|
|
|
|
`check_buy_timeout()` has been renamed to `check_entry_timeout()`, and `check_sell_timeout()` has been renamed to `check_exit_timeout()`.
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="2 6"
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
def check_buy_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict,
|
|
current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
|
|
return False
|
|
|
|
def check_sell_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict,
|
|
current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
|
|
return False
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="2 6"
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
def check_entry_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict,
|
|
current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
|
|
return False
|
|
|
|
def check_exit_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict,
|
|
current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
|
|
return False
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Custom-stake-amount
|
|
|
|
New string argument `side` - which can be either `"long"` or `"short"`.
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="4"
|
|
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,
|
|
entry_tag: Optional[str], **kwargs) -> float:
|
|
# ...
|
|
return proposed_stake
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="4"
|
|
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,
|
|
entry_tag: Optional[str], side: str, **kwargs) -> float:
|
|
# ...
|
|
return proposed_stake
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `confirm_trade_entry`
|
|
|
|
New string argument `side` - which can be either `"long"` or `"short"`.
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="4"
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
def confirm_trade_entry(self, pair: str, order_type: str, amount: float, rate: float,
|
|
time_in_force: str, current_time: datetime, entry_tag: Optional[str],
|
|
**kwargs) -> bool:
|
|
return True
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After:
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="4"
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
def confirm_trade_entry(self, pair: str, order_type: str, amount: float, rate: float,
|
|
time_in_force: str, current_time: datetime, entry_tag: Optional[str],
|
|
side: str, **kwargs) -> bool:
|
|
return True
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `confirm_trade_exit`
|
|
|
|
Changed argument `sell_reason` to `exit_reason`.
|
|
For compatibility, `sell_reason` will still be provided for a limited time.
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="3"
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
def confirm_trade_exit(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, order_type: str, amount: float,
|
|
rate: float, time_in_force: str, sell_reason: str,
|
|
current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
|
|
return True
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After:
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="3"
|
|
class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
|
|
def confirm_trade_exit(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, order_type: str, amount: float,
|
|
rate: float, time_in_force: str, exit_reason: str,
|
|
current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
|
|
return True
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Adjust trade position changes
|
|
|
|
While adjust-trade-position itself did not change, you should no longer use `trade.nr_of_successful_buys` - and instead use `trade.nr_of_successful_entries`, which will also include short entries.
|
|
|
|
### Helper methods
|
|
|
|
Added argument "is_short" to `stoploss_from_open` and `stoploss_from_absolute`.
|
|
This should be given the value of `trade.is_short`.
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="5 7"
|
|
def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
|
|
current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
|
|
# once the profit has risen above 10%, keep the stoploss at 7% above the open price
|
|
if current_profit > 0.10:
|
|
return stoploss_from_open(0.07, current_profit)
|
|
|
|
return stoploss_from_absolute(current_rate - (candle['atr'] * 2), current_rate)
|
|
|
|
return 1
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After:
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="5 7"
|
|
def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
|
|
current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
|
|
# once the profit has risen above 10%, keep the stoploss at 7% above the open price
|
|
if current_profit > 0.10:
|
|
return stoploss_from_open(0.07, current_profit, is_short=trade.is_short)
|
|
|
|
return stoploss_from_absolute(current_rate - (candle['atr'] * 2), current_rate, is_short=trade.is_short)
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Strategy/Configuration settings
|
|
|
|
#### `order_time_in_force`
|
|
|
|
`order_time_in_force` attributes changed from `"buy"` to `"entry"` and `"sell"` to `"exit"`.
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
order_time_in_force: Dict = {
|
|
"buy": "gtc",
|
|
"sell": "gtc",
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After:
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="2 3"
|
|
order_time_in_force: Dict = {
|
|
"entry": "gtc",
|
|
"exit": "gtc",
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### `order_types`
|
|
|
|
`order_types` have changed all wordings from `buy` to `entry` - and `sell` to `exit`.
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="2-6"
|
|
order_types = {
|
|
"buy": "limit",
|
|
"sell": "limit",
|
|
"emergencysell": "market",
|
|
"forcesell": "market",
|
|
"forcebuy": "market",
|
|
"stoploss": "market",
|
|
"stoploss_on_exchange": false,
|
|
"stoploss_on_exchange_interval": 60
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After:
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="2-6"
|
|
order_types = {
|
|
"entry": "limit",
|
|
"exit": "limit",
|
|
"emergencyexit": "market",
|
|
"forceexit": "market",
|
|
"forceentry": "market",
|
|
"stoploss": "market",
|
|
"stoploss_on_exchange": false,
|
|
"stoploss_on_exchange_interval": 60
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### `unfilledtimeout`
|
|
|
|
`unfilledtimeout` have changed all wordings from `buy` to `entry` - and `sell` to `exit`.
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="2-3"
|
|
unfilledtimeout = {
|
|
"buy": 10,
|
|
"sell": 10,
|
|
"exit_timeout_count": 0,
|
|
"unit": "minutes"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After:
|
|
|
|
``` python hl_lines="2-3"
|
|
unfilledtimeout = {
|
|
"entry": 10,
|
|
"exit": 10,
|
|
"exit_timeout_count": 0,
|
|
"unit": "minutes"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### `order pricing`
|
|
|
|
Order pricing changed in 2 ways. `bid_strategy` was renamed to `entry_strategy` and `ask_strategy` was renamed to `exit_strategy`.
|
|
Also, price-side can now be defined as `ask`, `bid`, `same` or `other`.
|
|
Please refer to the [pricing documentation](configuration.md) for more information.
|
|
|
|
``` json hl_lines="2-3 12-13"
