 #### Stoploss Guard
 
-`StoplossGuard` selects all trades within `lookback_period`, and determines if the amount of trades that resulted in stoploss are above `trade_limit` - in which case trading will stop for `stop_duration`.
+`StoplossGuard` selects all trades within `lookback_period` in minutes (or in candles when using `lookback_period_candles`), and determines if the amount of trades that resulted in stoploss are above `trade_limit` - in which case trading will stop for `stop_duration` in minutes (or in candles when using `stop_duration_candles`).
 This applies across all pairs, unless `only_per_pair` is set to true, which will then only look at one pair at a time.
