This is very useful when we need to customize sell conditions for each individual trade, or if you need the trade profit to take the sell decision. -For example you could implement a stoploss relative to candle when trade was opened, or a custom 1:2 risk-reward ROI. +For example you could implement a 1:2 risk-reward ROI with `custom_sell()`. + +You should abstain from using custom_sell() signals in place of stoplosses though. It is a inferior method to using `custom_stoploss()` in this regard - which also allows you to keep the stoploss on exchange. !!! Note Returning a `string` or `True` from this method is equal to setting sell signal on a candle at specified time. This method is not called when sell signal is set. `string` max length is 64 characters. Exceeding this limit will raise `OperationalException`.
