+
+## Contribute to freqtrade
+
+Feel like our bot is missing a feature? We welcome your pull requests! 
+
+Issues labeled [good first issue](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/labels/good%20first%20issue) can be good first contributions, and will help get you familiar with the codebase.
+
+Few pointers for contributions:
+
+- Create your PR against the `develop` branch, not `master`.
+- New features need to contain unit tests and must be PEP8 conformant (max-line-length = 100).
+
+If you are unsure, discuss the feature on our [Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/highfrequencybot/shared_invite/enQtNjU5ODcwNjI1MDU3LTU1MTgxMjkzNmYxNWE1MDEzYzQ3YmU4N2MwZjUyNjJjODRkMDVkNjg4YTAyZGYzYzlhOTZiMTE4ZjQ4YzM0OGE)
+or in a [issue](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/issues) before a PR.
+
+## Getting started
+
+Best start by reading the [documentation](https://www.freqtrade.io/) to get a feel for what is possible with the bot, or head straight to the [Developer-documentation](https://www.freqtrade.io/en/latest/developer/) (WIP) which should help you getting started.
+
+## Before sending the PR:
+
+### 1. Run unit tests
+
+All unit tests must pass. If a unit test is broken, change your code to 
+make it pass. It means you have introduced a regression.
+
+#### Test the whole project
+
+```bash
+pytest
+```
+
+#### Test only one file
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/test_<file_name>.py
+```
+
+#### Test only one method from one file
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/test_<file_name>.py::test_<method_name>
+```
+
+### 2. Test if your code is PEP8 compliant
+
+#### Run Flake8
+
+```bash
+flake8 freqtrade tests scripts
+```
+
+We receive a lot of code that fails the `flake8` checks.
+To help with that, we encourage you to install the git pre-commit 
+hook that will warn you when you try to commit code that fails these checks. 
+Guide for installing them is [here](http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/user/using-hooks.html).
+
+### 3. Test if all type-hints are correct
+
+#### Run mypy
+
+``` bash
+mypy freqtrade
+```
+
+## (Core)-Committer Guide
+
+### Process: Pull Requests
+
+How to prioritize pull requests, from most to least important:
+
+1. Fixes for broken tests. Broken means broken on any supported platform or Python version.
+1. Extra tests to cover corner cases.
+1. Minor edits to docs.
+1. Bug fixes.
+1. Major edits to docs.
+1. Features.
+
+Ensure that each pull request meets all requirements in the Contributing document.
+
+### Process: Issues
+
+If an issue is a bug that needs an urgent fix, mark it for the next patch release.
+Then either fix it or mark as please-help.
+
+For other issues: encourage friendly discussion, moderate debate, offer your thoughts.
+
+### Process: Your own code changes
+
+All code changes, regardless of who does them, need to be reviewed and merged by someone else.
+This rule applies to all the core committers.
+
+Exceptions:
+
+- Minor corrections and fixes to pull requests submitted by others.
+- While making a formal release, the release manager can make necessary, appropriate changes.
+- Small documentation changes that reinforce existing subject matter. Most commonly being, but not limited to spelling and grammar corrections.
+
+### Responsibilities
+
+- Ensure cross-platform compatibility for every change that's accepted. Windows, Mac & Linux.
+- Ensure no malicious code is introduced into the core code.
+- Create issues for any major changes and enhancements that you wish to make. Discuss things transparently and get community feedback.
+- Keep feature versions as small as possible, preferably one new feature per version.
+- Be welcoming to newcomers and encourage diverse new contributors from all backgrounds. See the Python Community Code of Conduct (https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/).
+
+### Becoming a Committer
+
+Contributors may be given commit privileges. Preference will be given to those with:
+
+1. Past contributions to Freqtrade and other related open-source projects. Contributions to Freqtrade include both code (both accepted and pending) and friendly participation in the issue tracker and Pull request reviews. Quantity and quality are considered.
+1. A coding style that the other core committers find simple, minimal, and clean.

+
+## Quick start
+
+Freqtrade provides a Linux/macOS script to install all dependencies and help you to configure the bot.
+
+```bash
+git clone git@github.com:freqtrade/freqtrade.git
+cd freqtrade
+git checkout develop
+./setup.sh --install
 ```
 
-`stoploss` is loss in percentage that should trigger a sale.
+For any other type of installation please refer to [Installation doc](https://www.freqtrade.io/en/latest/installation/).
-For example value `-0.10` will cause immediate sell if the
-profit dips below -10% for a given trade. This parameter is optional.
 
-`initial_state` is an optional field that defines the initial application state.
+## Basic Usage
-Possible values are `running` or `stopped`. (default=`running`)
-If the value is `stopped` the bot has to be started with `/start` first.
 
-`ask_last_balance` sets the bidding price. Value `0.0` will use `ask` price, `1.0` will
+### Bot commands
-use the `last` price and values between those interpolate between ask and last
-price. Using `ask` price will guarantee quick success in bid, but bot will also
-end up paying more then would probably have been necessary.
-
-The other values should be self-explanatory,
-if not feel free to raise a github issue.
-

+# Advanced Hyperopt
+
+This page explains some advanced Hyperopt topics that may require higher
+coding skills and Python knowledge than creation of an ordinal hyperoptimization
+class.
+
+## Derived hyperopt classes
+
+Custom hyperop classes can be derived in the same way [it can be done for strategies](strategy-customization.md#derived-strategies).
+
+Applying to hyperoptimization, as an example, you may override how dimensions are defined in your optimization hyperspace:
+
+```python
+class MyAwesomeHyperOpt(IHyperOpt):
+    ...
+    # Uses default stoploss dimension
+
+class MyAwesomeHyperOpt2(MyAwesomeHyperOpt):
+    @staticmethod
+    def stoploss_space() -> List[Dimension]:
+        # Override boundaries for stoploss
+        return [
+            Real(-0.33, -0.01, name='stoploss'),
+        ]
+```
+
+and then quickly switch between hyperopt classes, running optimization process with hyperopt class you need in each particular case:
+
+```
+$ freqtrade hyperopt --hyperopt MyAwesomeHyperOpt ...
+or
+$ freqtrade hyperopt --hyperopt MyAwesomeHyperOpt2 ...
+```
+
+## Creating and using a custom loss function
+
+To use a custom loss function class, make sure that the function `hyperopt_loss_function` is defined in your custom hyperopt loss class.
+For the sample below, you then need to add the command line parameter `--hyperopt-loss SuperDuperHyperOptLoss` to your hyperopt call so this function is being used.
+
+A sample of this can be found below, which is identical to the Default Hyperopt loss implementation. A full sample can be found in [userdata/hyperopts](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/templates/sample_hyperopt_loss.py).
+
+``` python
+from freqtrade.optimize.hyperopt import IHyperOptLoss
+
+TARGET_TRADES = 600
+EXPECTED_MAX_PROFIT = 3.0
+MAX_ACCEPTED_TRADE_DURATION = 300
+
+class SuperDuperHyperOptLoss(IHyperOptLoss):
+    """
+    Defines the default loss function for hyperopt
+    """
+
+    @staticmethod
+    def hyperopt_loss_function(results: DataFrame, trade_count: int,
+                               min_date: datetime, max_date: datetime,
+                               *args, **kwargs) -> float:
+        """
+        Objective function, returns smaller number for better results
+        This is the legacy algorithm (used until now in freqtrade).
+        Weights are distributed as follows:

+# Advanced Post-installation Tasks
+
+This page explains some advanced tasks and configuration options that can be performed after the bot installation and may be uselful in some environments.
+
+If you do not know what things mentioned here mean, you probably do not need it.
+
+## Configure the bot running as a systemd service
+
+Copy the `freqtrade.service` file to your systemd user directory (usually `~/.config/systemd/user`) and update `WorkingDirectory` and `ExecStart` to match your setup.
+
+!!! Note
+    Certain systems (like Raspbian) don't load service unit files from the user directory. In this case, copy `freqtrade.service` into `/etc/systemd/user/` (requires superuser permissions).
+
+After that you can start the daemon with:
+
+```bash
+systemctl --user start freqtrade
+```
+
+For this to be persistent (run when user is logged out) you'll need to enable `linger` for your freqtrade user.
+
+```bash
+sudo loginctl enable-linger "$USER"
+```
+
+If you run the bot as a service, you can use systemd service manager as a software watchdog monitoring freqtrade bot 
+state and restarting it in the case of failures. If the `internals.sd_notify` parameter is set to true in the 
+configuration or the `--sd-notify` command line option is used, the bot will send keep-alive ping messages to systemd 
+using the sd_notify (systemd notifications) protocol and will also tell systemd its current state (Running or Stopped) 
+when it changes. 
+
+The `freqtrade.service.watchdog` file contains an example of the service unit configuration file which uses systemd 
+as the watchdog.
+
+!!! Note
+    The sd_notify communication between the bot and the systemd service manager will not work if the bot runs in a Docker container.
+
+## Advanced Logging
+
+On many Linux systems the bot can be configured to send its log messages to `syslog` or `journald` system services. Logging to a remote `syslog` server is also available on Windows. The special values for the `--logfilename` command line option can be used for this.
+
+### Logging to syslog
+
+To send Freqtrade log messages to a local or remote `syslog` service use the `--logfilename` command line option with the value in the following format:
+
+* `--logfilename syslog:<syslog_address>` -- send log messages to `syslog` service using the `<syslog_address>` as the syslog address.
+
+The syslog address can be either a Unix domain socket (socket filename) or a UDP socket specification, consisting of IP address and UDP port, separated by the `:` character.
+
+So, the following are the examples of possible usages:
+
+* `--logfilename syslog:/dev/log` -- log to syslog (rsyslog) using the `/dev/log` socket, suitable for most systems.
+* `--logfilename syslog` -- same as above, the shortcut for `/dev/log`.
+* `--logfilename syslog:/var/run/syslog` -- log to syslog (rsyslog) using the `/var/run/syslog` socket. Use this on MacOS.
+* `--logfilename syslog:localhost:514` -- log to local syslog using UDP socket, if it listens on port 514.
+* `--logfilename syslog:<ip>:514` -- log to remote syslog at IP address and port 514. This may be used on Windows for remote logging to an external syslog server.
+
+Log messages are send to `syslog` with the `user` facility. So you can see them with the following commands:
+
+* `tail -f /var/log/user`, or 
+* install a comprehensive graphical viewer (for instance, 'Log File Viewer' for Ubuntu).
+
+On many systems `syslog` (`rsyslog`) fetches data from `journald` (and vice versa), so both `--logfilename syslog` or `--logfilename journald` can be used and the messages be viewed with both `journalctl` and a syslog viewer utility. You can combine this in any way which suites you better.
+
+For `rsyslog` the messages from the bot can be redirected into a separate dedicated log file. To achieve this, add
+```
+if $programname startswith "freqtrade" then -/var/log/freqtrade.log
+```
+to one of the rsyslog configuration files, for example at the end of the `/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf`.
+
+For `syslog` (`rsyslog`), the reduction mode can be switched on. This will reduce the number of repeating messages. For instance, multiple bot Heartbeat messages will be reduced to a single message when nothing else happens with the bot. To achieve this, set in `/etc/rsyslog.conf`:
+```
+# Filter duplicated messages
+$RepeatedMsgReduction on
+```
+
+### Logging to journald
+
+This needs the `systemd` python package installed as the dependency, which is not available on Windows. Hence, the whole journald logging functionality is not available for a bot running on Windows.
+
+To send Freqtrade log messages to `journald` system service use the `--logfilename` command line option with the value in the following format:
+
+* `--logfilename journald` -- send log messages to `journald`.
+
+Log messages are send to `journald` with the `user` facility. So you can see them with the following commands:
+
+* `journalctl -f` -- shows Freqtrade log messages sent to `journald` along with other log messages fetched by `journald`.
+* `journalctl -f -u freqtrade.service` -- this command can be used when the bot is run as a `systemd` service.
+
+There are many other options in the `journalctl` utility to filter the messages, see manual pages for this utility.
+
+On many systems `syslog` (`rsyslog`) fetches data from `journald` (and vice versa), so both `--logfilename syslog` or `--logfilename journald` can be used and the messages be viewed with both `journalctl` and a syslog viewer utility. You can combine this in any way which suites you better.

+# Backtesting
+
+This page explains how to validate your strategy performance by using Backtesting.
+
+Backtesting requires historic data to be available.
+To learn how to get data for the pairs and exchange you're interested in, head over to the [Data Downloading](data-download.md) section of the documentation.
+
+## Test your strategy with Backtesting
+
+Now you have good Buy and Sell strategies and some historic data, you want to test it against
+real data. This is what we call
+[backtesting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backtesting).
+
+Backtesting will use the crypto-currencies (pairs) from your config file and load ticker data from `user_data/data/<exchange>` by default.
+If no data is available for the exchange / pair / ticker interval combination, backtesting will ask you to download them first using `freqtrade download-data`.
+For details on downloading, please refer to the [Data Downloading](data-download.md) section in the documentation.
+
+The result of backtesting will confirm if your bot has better odds of making a profit than a loss.
+
+!!! Tip "Using dynamic pairlists for backtesting"
+    While using dynamic pairlists during backtesting is not possible, a dynamic pairlist using current data can be generated via the [`test-pairlist`](utils.md#test-pairlist) command, and needs to be specified as `"pair_whitelist"` attribute in the configuration.
+
+### Run a backtesting against the currencies listed in your config file
+
+#### With 5 min tickers (Per default)
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting
+```
+
+#### With 1 min tickers
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting --ticker-interval 1m
+```
+
+#### Using a different on-disk ticker-data source
+
+Assume you downloaded the history data from the Bittrex exchange and kept it in the `user_data/data/bittrex-20180101` directory. 
+You can then use this data for backtesting as follows:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade --datadir user_data/data/bittrex-20180101 backtesting
+```
+
+#### With a (custom) strategy file
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting -s SampleStrategy
+```
+
+Where `-s SampleStrategy` refers to the class name within the strategy file `sample_strategy.py` found in the `freqtrade/user_data/strategies` directory.
+
+#### Comparing multiple Strategies
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting --strategy-list SampleStrategy1 AwesomeStrategy --ticker-interval 5m
+```
+
+Where `SampleStrategy1` and `AwesomeStrategy` refer to class names of strategies.
+
+#### Exporting trades to file
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting --export trades
+```
+
+The exported trades can be used for [further analysis](#further-backtest-result-analysis), or can be used by the plotting script `plot_dataframe.py` in the scripts directory.
+
+#### Exporting trades to file specifying a custom filename
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting --export trades --export-filename=backtest_samplestrategy.json
+```
+
+Please also read about the [strategy startup period](strategy-customization.md#strategy-startup-period).
+
+#### Supplying custom fee value
+
+Sometimes your account has certain fee rebates (fee reductions starting with a certain account size or monthly volume), which are not visible to ccxt.
+To account for this in backtesting, you can use the `--fee` command line option to supply this value to backtesting.
+This fee must be a ratio, and will be applied twice (once for trade entry, and once for trade exit).
+
+For example, if the buying and selling commission fee is 0.1% (i.e., 0.001 written as ratio), then you would run backtesting as the following:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting --fee 0.001
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    Only supply this option (or the corresponding configuration parameter) if you want to experiment with different fee values. By default, Backtesting fetches the default fee from the exchange pair/market info.
+
+#### Running backtest with smaller testset by using timerange
+
+Use the `--timerange` argument to change how much of the testset you want to use.
+
+
+For example, running backtesting with the `--timerange=20190501-` option will use all available data starting with May 1st, 2019 from your inputdata.
+
+```bash
+freqtrade backtesting --timerange=20190501-
+```
+
+You can also specify particular dates or a range span indexed by start and stop.
+
+The full timerange specification:
+
+- Use tickframes till 2018/01/31: `--timerange=-20180131`
+- Use tickframes since 2018/01/31: `--timerange=20180131-`
+- Use tickframes since 2018/01/31 till 2018/03/01 : `--timerange=20180131-20180301`
+- Use tickframes between POSIX timestamps 1527595200 1527618600:
+                                                `--timerange=1527595200-1527618600`
+
+## Understand the backtesting result
+
+The most important in the backtesting is to understand the result.
+
+A backtesting result will look like that:
+
+```

+```
+
+The 1st table contains all trades the bot made, including "left open trades".
+
+The 2nd table contains a recap of sell reasons.
+This table can tell you which area needs some additional work (i.e. all `sell_signal` trades are losses, so we should disable the sell-signal or work on improving that).
+
+The 3rd table contains all trades the bot had to `forcesell` at the end of the backtest period to present a full picture.
+This is necessary to simulate realistic behaviour, since the backtest period has to end at some point, while realistically, you could leave the bot running forever.
+These trades are also included in the first table, but are extracted separately for clarity.
+
+The last line will give you the overall performance of your strategy,
+here:
+
+```
+| TOTAL    |         429 |           0.36 |         152.41 |       0.00762792 |          76.20 | 4:12:00        |      186 |    243 |
+```
+
+The bot has made `429` trades for an average duration of `4:12:00`, with a performance of `76.20%` (profit), that means it has
+earned a total of `0.00762792 BTC` starting with a capital of 0.01 BTC.
+
+The column `avg profit %` shows the average profit for all trades made while the column `cum profit %` sums up all the profits/losses.
+The column `tot profit %` shows instead the total profit % in relation to allocated capital (`max_open_trades * stake_amount`).
+In the above results we have `max_open_trades=2` and `stake_amount=0.005` in config  so `tot_profit %` will be `(76.20/100) * (0.005 * 2) =~ 0.00762792 BTC`.
+
+Your strategy performance is influenced by your buy strategy, your sell strategy, and also by the `minimal_roi` and `stop_loss` you have set.
+
+For example, if your `minimal_roi` is only `"0":  0.01` you cannot expect the bot to make more profit than 1% (because it will sell every time a trade reaches 1%).
+
+```json
+"minimal_roi": {
+    "0":  0.01
+},
+```
+
+On the other hand, if you set a too high `minimal_roi` like `"0":  0.55`
+(55%), there is almost no chance that the bot will ever reach this profit.
+Hence, keep in mind that your performance is an integral mix of all different elements of the strategy, your configuration, and the crypto-currency pairs you have set up.
+
+### Assumptions made by backtesting
+
+Since backtesting lacks some detailed information about what happens within a candle, it needs to take a few assumptions:
+
+- Buys happen at open-price
+- Sell signal sells happen at open-price of the following candle
+- Low happens before high for stoploss, protecting capital first.
+- ROI
+  - sells are compared to high - but the ROI value is used (e.g. ROI = 2%, high=5% - so the sell will be at 2%)
+  - sells are never "below the candle", so a ROI of 2% may result in a sell at 2.4% if low was at 2.4% profit
+  - Forcesells caused by `<N>=-1` ROI entries use low as sell value, unless N falls on the candle open (e.g. `120: -1` for 1h candles)
+- Stoploss sells happen exactly at stoploss price, even if low was lower
+- Trailing stoploss
+  - High happens first - adjusting stoploss
+  - Low uses the adjusted stoploss (so sells with large high-low difference are backtested correctly)
+- Sell-reason does not explain if a trade was positive or negative, just what triggered the sell (this can look odd if negative ROI values are used)
+
+Taking these assumptions, backtesting tries to mirror real trading as closely as possible. However, backtesting will **never** replace running a strategy in dry-run mode.
+Also, keep in mind that past results don't guarantee future success.
+
+In addition to the above assumptions, strategy authors should carefully read the [Common Mistakes](strategy-customization.md#common-mistakes-when-developing-strategies) section, to avoid using data in backtesting which is not available in real market conditions.
+
+### Further backtest-result analysis
+
+To further analyze your backtest results, you can [export the trades](#exporting-trades-to-file).
+You can then load the trades to perform further analysis as shown in our [data analysis](data-analysis.md#backtesting) backtesting section.
+
+## Backtesting multiple strategies
+
+To compare multiple strategies, a list of Strategies can be provided to backtesting.
+
+This is limited to 1 ticker-interval per run, however, data is only loaded once from disk so if you have multiple
+strategies you'd like to compare, this will give a nice runtime boost.
+
+All listed Strategies need to be in the same directory.
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade backtesting --timerange 20180401-20180410 --ticker-interval 5m --strategy-list Strategy001 Strategy002 --export trades
+```
+
+This will save the results to `user_data/backtest_results/backtest-result-<strategy>.json`, injecting the strategy-name into the target filename.
+There will be an additional table comparing win/losses of the different strategies (identical to the "Total" row in the first table).
+Detailed output for all strategies one after the other will be available, so make sure to scroll up to see the details per strategy.
+
+```

+
+optional arguments:
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  --db-url PATH         Override trades database URL, this is useful in custom
+                        deployments (default: `sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite` for
+                        Live Run mode, `sqlite:///tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite` for
+                        Dry Run).
+  --sd-notify           Notify systemd service manager.
+  --dry-run             Enforce dry-run for trading (removes Exchange secrets
+                        and simulates trades).
+
+Common arguments:
+  -v, --verbose         Verbose mode (-vv for more, -vvv to get all messages).
+  --logfile FILE        Log to the file specified. Special values are:
+                        'syslog', 'journald'. See the documentation for more
+                        details.
+  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
+  -c PATH, --config PATH
+                        Specify configuration file (default:
+                        `userdir/config.json` or `config.json` whichever
+                        exists). Multiple --config options may be used. Can be
+                        set to `-` to read config from stdin.
+  -d PATH, --datadir PATH
+                        Path to directory with historical backtesting data.
+  --userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH
+                        Path to userdata directory.
+
+Strategy arguments:
+  -s NAME, --strategy NAME
+                        Specify strategy class name which will be used by the
+                        bot.
+  --strategy-path PATH  Specify additional strategy lookup path.
+.
+
+```
+
+### How to specify which configuration file be used?
+
+The bot allows you to select which configuration file you want to use by means of
+the `-c/--config` command line option:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade -c path/far/far/away/config.json
+```
+
+Per default, the bot loads the `config.json` configuration file from the current
+working directory.
+
+### How to use multiple configuration files?
+
+The bot allows you to use multiple configuration files by specifying multiple
+`-c/--config` options in the command line. Configuration parameters
+defined in the latter configuration files override parameters with the same name
+defined in the previous configuration files specified in the command line earlier.
+
+For example, you can make a separate configuration file with your key and secret
+for the Exchange you use for trading, specify default configuration file with
+empty key and secret values while running in the Dry Mode (which does not actually
+require them):
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade -c ./config.json
+```
+
+and specify both configuration files when running in the normal Live Trade Mode:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade -c ./config.json -c path/to/secrets/keys.config.json
+```
+
+This could help you hide your private Exchange key and Exchange secret on you local machine
+by setting appropriate file permissions for the file which contains actual secrets and, additionally,
+prevent unintended disclosure of sensitive private data when you publish examples
+of your configuration in the project issues or in the Internet.
+
+See more details on this technique with examples in the documentation page on
+[configuration](configuration.md).
+
+### Where to store custom data
+
+Freqtrade allows the creation of a user-data directory using `freqtrade create-userdir --userdir someDirectory`.
+This directory will look as follows:
+
+```
+user_data/
+├── backtest_results
+├── data
+├── hyperopts
+├── hyperopt_results
+├── plot
+└── strategies
+```
+
+You can add the entry "user_data_dir" setting to your configuration, to always point your bot to this directory.
+Alternatively, pass in `--userdir` to every command.
+The bot will fail to start if the directory does not exist, but will create necessary subdirectories.
+
+This directory should contain your custom strategies, custom hyperopts and hyperopt loss functions, backtesting historical data (downloaded using either backtesting command or the download script) and plot outputs.
+
+It is recommended to use version control to keep track of changes to your strategies.
+
+### How to use **--strategy**?
+
+This parameter will allow you to load your custom strategy class.
+Per default without `--strategy` or `-s` the bot will load the
+`DefaultStrategy` included with the bot (`freqtrade/strategy/default_strategy.py`).
+
+The bot will search your strategy file within `user_data/strategies` and `freqtrade/strategy`.
+
+To load a strategy, simply pass the class name (e.g.: `CustomStrategy`) in this parameter.
+
+**Example:**
+In `user_data/strategies` you have a file `my_awesome_strategy.py` which has
+a strategy class called `AwesomeStrategy` to load it:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade --strategy AwesomeStrategy
+```
+
+If the bot does not find your strategy file, it will display in an error
+message the reason (File not found, or errors in your code).
+
+Learn more about strategy file in
+[Strategy Customization](strategy-customization.md).
+
+### How to use **--strategy-path**?
+
+This parameter allows you to add an additional strategy lookup path, which gets
+checked before the default locations (The passed path must be a directory!):
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade --strategy AwesomeStrategy --strategy-path /some/directory
+```
+
+#### How to install a strategy?
+
+This is very simple. Copy paste your strategy file into the directory
+`user_data/strategies` or use `--strategy-path`. And voila, the bot is ready to use it.
+
+### How to use **--db-url**?
+
+When you run the bot in Dry-run mode, per default no transactions are
+stored in a database. If you want to store your bot actions in a DB
+using `--db-url`. This can also be used to specify a custom database
+in production mode. Example command:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade -c config.json --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.dry_run.sqlite
+```
+
+## Backtesting commands
+
+Backtesting also uses the config specified via `-c/--config`.

+  --dmmp, --disable-max-market-positions
+                        Disable applying `max_open_trades` during backtest

+                        this together with `--export trades`, the strategy-
+                        name is injected into the filename (so `backtest-
+                        data.json` becomes `backtest-data-

+# Configure the bot
+
+Freqtrade has many configurable features and possibilities.
+By default, these settings are configured via the configuration file (see below).
+
+## The Freqtrade configuration file
+
+The bot uses a set of configuration parameters during its operation that all together conform the bot configuration. It normally reads its configuration from a file (Freqtrade configuration file).
+
+Per default, the bot loads the configuration from the `config.json` file, located in the current working directory.
+
+You can specify a different configuration file used by the bot with the `-c/--config` command line option.
+
+In some advanced use cases, multiple configuration files can be specified and used by the bot or the bot can read its configuration parameters from the process standard input stream.
+
+If you used the [Quick start](installation.md/#quick-start) method for installing 
+the bot, the installation script should have already created the default configuration file (`config.json`) for you.
+
+If default configuration file is not created we recommend you to copy and use the `config.json.example` as a template
+for your bot configuration.
+
+The Freqtrade configuration file is to be written in the JSON format.
+
+Additionally to the standard JSON syntax, you may use one-line `// ...` and multi-line `/* ... */` comments in your configuration files and trailing commas in the lists of parameters.
+
+Do not worry if you are not familiar with JSON format -- simply open the configuration file with an editor of your choice, make some changes to the parameters you need, save your changes and, finally, restart the bot or, if it was previously stopped, run it again with the changes you made to the configuration. The bot validates syntax of the configuration file at startup and will warn you if you made any errors editing it, pointing out problematic lines.
+
+## Configuration parameters
+
+The table below will list all configuration parameters available.
+
+Freqtrade can also load many options via command line (CLI) arguments (check out the commands `--help` output for details).
+The prevelance for all Options is as follows:
+
+- CLI arguments override any other option
+- Configuration files are used in sequence (last file wins), and override Strategy configurations.
+- Strategy configurations are only used if they are not set via configuration or via command line arguments. These options are market with [Strategy Override](#parameters-in-the-strategy) in the below table.
+
+Mandatory parameters are marked as **Required**, which means that they are required to be set in one of the possible ways.

+
+### Configuring amount per trade
+
+There are several methods to configure how much of the stake currency the bot will use to enter a trade. All methods respect the [available balance configuration](#available-balance) as explained below.
+
+#### Available balance
+
+By default, the bot assumes that the `complete amount - 1%` is at it's disposal, and when using [dynamic stake amount](#dynamic-stake-amount), it will split the complete balance into `max_open_trades` buckets per trade.
+Freqtrade will reserve 1% for eventual fees when entering a trade and will therefore not touch that by default.
+
+You can configure the "untouched" amount by using the `tradable_balance_ratio` setting.
+
+For example, if you have 10 ETH available in your wallet on the exchange and `tradable_balance_ratio=0.5` (which is 50%), then the bot will use a maximum amount of 5 ETH for trading and considers this as available balance. The rest of the wallet is untouched by the trades.
+
+!!! Warning
+    The `tradable_balance_ratio` setting applies to the current balance (free balance + tied up in trades). Therefore, assuming the starting balance of 1000, a configuration with `tradable_balance_ratio=0.99` will not guarantee that 10 currency units will always remain available on the exchange. For example, the free amount may reduce to 5 units if the total balance is reduced to 500 (either by a losing streak, or by withdrawing balance).
+
+#### Amend last stake amount
+
+Assuming we have the tradable balance of 1000 USDT, `stake_amount=400`, and `max_open_trades=3`.
+The bot would open 2 trades, and will be unable to fill the last trading slot, since the requested 400 USDT are no longer available, since 800 USDT are already tied in other trades.
+
+To overcome this, the option `amend_last_stake_amount` can be set to `True`, which will enable the bot to reduce stake_amount to the available balance in order to fill the last trade slot.
+
+In the example above this would mean:
+
+- Trade1: 400 USDT
+- Trade2: 400 USDT
+- Trade3: 200 USDT
+
+!!! Note
+    This option only applies with [Static stake amount](#static-stake-amount) - since [Dynamic stake amount](#dynamic-stake-amount) divides the balances evenly.
+
+!!! Note
+    The minimum last stake amount can be configured using `amend_last_stake_amount` - which defaults to 0.5 (50%). This means that the minimum stake amount that's ever used is `stake_amount * 0.5`. This avoids very low stake amounts, that are close to the minimum tradable amount for the pair and can be refused by the exchange.
+
+#### Static stake amount
+
+The `stake_amount` configuration statically configures the amount of stake-currency your bot will use for each trade.
+
+The minimal configuration value is 0.0001, however, please check your exchange's trading minimums for the stake currency you're using to avoid problems.
+
+This setting works in combination with `max_open_trades`. The maximum capital engaged in trades is `stake_amount * max_open_trades`.
+For example, the bot will at most use (0.05 BTC x 3) = 0.15 BTC, assuming a configuration of `max_open_trades=3` and `stake_amount=0.05`.
+
+!!! Note
+    This setting respects the [available balance configuration](#available-balance).
+
+#### Dynamic stake amount
+
+Alternatively, you can use a dynamic stake amount, which will use the available balance on the exchange, and divide that equally by the amount of allowed trades (`max_open_trades`).
+
+To configure this, set `stake_amount="unlimited"`. We also recommend to set `tradable_balance_ratio=0.99` (99%) - to keep a minimum balance for eventual fees.
+
+In this case a trade amount is calculated as:
+
+```python
+currency_balance / (max_open_trades - current_open_trades)
+```
+
+To allow the bot to trade all the available `stake_currency` in your account (minus `tradable_balance_ratio`) set
+
+```json
+"stake_amount" : "unlimited",
+"tradable_balance_ratio": 0.99,
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    This configuration will allow increasing / decreasing stakes depending on the performance of the bot (lower stake if bot is loosing, higher stakes if the bot has a winning record, since higher balances are available).
+
+!!! Note "When using Dry-Run Mode"
+    When using `"stake_amount" : "unlimited",` in combination with Dry-Run, the balance will be simulated starting with a stake of `dry_run_wallet` which will evolve over time. It is therefore important to set `dry_run_wallet` to a sensible value (like 0.05 or 0.01 for BTC and 1000 or 100 for USDT, for example), otherwise it may simulate trades with 100 BTC (or more) or 0.05 USDT (or less) at once - which may not correspond to your real available balance or is less than the exchange minimal limit for the order amount for the stake currency.
+
+### Understand minimal_roi
+
+The `minimal_roi` configuration parameter is a JSON object where the key is a duration
+in minutes and the value is the minimum ROI in percent.
+See the example below:
+
+```json
+"minimal_roi": {
+    "40": 0.0,    # Sell after 40 minutes if the profit is not negative
+    "30": 0.01,   # Sell after 30 minutes if there is at least 1% profit
+    "20": 0.02,   # Sell after 20 minutes if there is at least 2% profit
+    "0":  0.04    # Sell immediately if there is at least 4% profit
+},
+```
+
+Most of the strategy files already include the optimal `minimal_roi` value.
+This parameter can be set in either Strategy or Configuration file. If you use it in the configuration file, it will override the
+`minimal_roi` value from the strategy file.
+If it is not set in either Strategy or Configuration, a default of 1000% `{"0": 10}` is used, and minimal roi is disabled unless your trade generates 1000% profit.
+
+!!! Note "Special case to forcesell after a specific time"
+    A special case presents using `"<N>": -1` as ROI. This forces the bot to sell a trade after N Minutes, no matter if it's positive or negative, so represents a time-limited force-sell.
+
+### Understand stoploss
+
+Go to the [stoploss documentation](stoploss.md) for more details.
+
+### Understand trailing stoploss
+
+Go to the [trailing stoploss Documentation](stoploss.md#trailing-stop-loss) for details on trailing stoploss.
+
+### Understand initial_state
+
+The `initial_state` configuration parameter is an optional field that defines the initial application state.
+Possible values are `running` or `stopped`. (default=`running`)
+If the value is `stopped` the bot has to be started with `/start` first.
+
+### Understand forcebuy_enable
+
+The `forcebuy_enable` configuration parameter enables the usage of forcebuy commands via Telegram.
+This is disabled for security reasons by default, and will show a warning message on startup if enabled.
+For example, you can send `/forcebuy ETH/BTC` Telegram command when this feature if enabled to the bot,
+who then buys the pair and holds it until a regular sell-signal (ROI, stoploss, /forcesell) appears.
+
+This can be dangerous with some strategies, so use with care.
+
+See [the telegram documentation](telegram-usage.md) for details on usage.
+
+### Understand process_throttle_secs
+
+The `process_throttle_secs` configuration parameter is an optional field that defines in seconds how long the bot should wait
+before asking the strategy if we should buy or a sell an asset. After each wait period, the strategy is asked again for
+every opened trade wether or not we should sell, and for all the remaining pairs (either the dynamic list of pairs or
+the static list of pairs) if we should buy.
+
+### Understand order_types
+
+The `order_types` configuration parameter maps actions (`buy`, `sell`, `stoploss`) to order-types (`market`, `limit`, ...) as well as configures stoploss to be on the exchange and defines stoploss on exchange update interval in seconds.
+
+This allows to buy using limit orders, sell using
+limit-orders, and create stoplosses using using market orders. It also allows to set the
+stoploss "on exchange" which means stoploss order would be placed immediately once
+the buy order is fulfilled.
+If `stoploss_on_exchange` and `trailing_stop` are both set, then the bot will use `stoploss_on_exchange_interval` to check and update the stoploss on exchange periodically.
+`order_types` can be set in the configuration file or in the strategy.
+`order_types` set in the configuration file overwrites values set in the strategy as a whole, so you need to configure the whole `order_types` dictionary in one place.
+
+If this is configured, the following 4 values (`buy`, `sell`, `stoploss` and
+`stoploss_on_exchange`) need to be present, otherwise the bot will fail to start.
+
+`emergencysell` is an optional value, which defaults to `market` and is used when creating stoploss on exchange orders fails.
+The below is the default which is used if this is not configured in either strategy or configuration file.
+
+Since `stoploss_on_exchange` uses limit orders, the exchange needs 2 prices, the stoploss_price and the Limit price.
+`stoploss` defines the stop-price - and limit should be slightly below this. This defaults to 0.99 / 1% (configurable via `stoploss_on_exchange_limit_ratio`).
+Calculation example: we bought the asset at 100$.
+Stop-price is 95$, then limit would be `95 * 0.99 = 94.05$` - so the stoploss will happen between 95$ and 94.05$.
+
+Syntax for Strategy:
+
+```python
+order_types = {
+    "buy": "limit",
+    "sell": "limit",
+    "emergencysell": "market",
+    "stoploss": "market",
+    "stoploss_on_exchange": False,
+    "stoploss_on_exchange_interval": 60,
+    "stoploss_on_exchange_limit_ratio": 0.99,
+}
+```
+
+Configuration:
+
+```json
+"order_types": {
+    "buy": "limit",
+    "sell": "limit",
+    "emergencysell": "market",
+    "stoploss": "market",
+    "stoploss_on_exchange": false,
+    "stoploss_on_exchange_interval": 60
+}
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    Not all exchanges support "market" orders.
+    The following message will be shown if your exchange does not support market orders:
+    `"Exchange <yourexchange>  does not support market orders."`
+
+!!! Note
+    Stoploss on exchange interval is not mandatory. Do not change its value if you are
+    unsure of what you are doing. For more information about how stoploss works please
+    refer to [the stoploss documentation](stoploss.md).
+
+!!! Note
+    If `stoploss_on_exchange` is enabled and the stoploss is cancelled manually on the exchange, then the bot will create a new order.
+
+!!! Warning "Warning: stoploss_on_exchange failures"
+    If stoploss on exchange creation fails for some reason, then an "emergency sell" is initiated. By default, this will sell the asset using a market order. The order-type for the emergency-sell can be changed by setting the `emergencysell` value in the `order_types` dictionary - however this is not advised.
+
+### Understand order_time_in_force
+
+The `order_time_in_force` configuration parameter defines the policy by which the order
+is executed on the exchange. Three commonly used time in force are:
+
+**GTC (Good Till Canceled):**
+
+This is most of the time the default time in force. It means the order will remain
+on exchange till it is canceled by user. It can be fully or partially fulfilled.
+If partially fulfilled, the remaining will stay on the exchange till cancelled.
+
+**FOK (Full Or Kill):**
+
+It means if the order is not executed immediately AND fully then it is canceled by the exchange.
+
+**IOC (Immediate Or Canceled):**
+
+It is the same as FOK (above) except it can be partially fulfilled. The remaining part
+is automatically cancelled by the exchange.
+
+The `order_time_in_force` parameter contains a dict with buy and sell time in force policy values.
+This can be set in the configuration file or in the strategy.
+Values set in the configuration file overwrites values set in the strategy.
+
+The possible values are: `gtc` (default), `fok` or `ioc`.
+
+``` python
+"order_time_in_force": {
+    "buy": "gtc",
+    "sell": "gtc"
+},
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    This is an ongoing work. For now it is supported only for binance and only for buy orders.
+    Please don't change the default value unless you know what you are doing.
+
+### Exchange configuration
+
+Freqtrade is based on [CCXT library](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt) that supports over 100 cryptocurrency
+exchange markets and trading APIs. The complete up-to-date list can be found in the
+[CCXT repo homepage](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/tree/master/python). However, the bot was tested
+with only Bittrex and Binance.
+
+The bot was tested with the following exchanges:
+
+- [Bittrex](https://bittrex.com/): "bittrex"
+- [Binance](https://www.binance.com/): "binance"
+
+Feel free to test other exchanges and submit your PR to improve the bot.
+
+#### Sample exchange configuration
+
+A exchange configuration for "binance" would look as follows:
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+    "name": "binance",
+    "key": "your_exchange_key",
+    "secret": "your_exchange_secret",
+    "ccxt_config": {"enableRateLimit": true},
+    "ccxt_async_config": {
+        "enableRateLimit": true,
+        "rateLimit": 200
+    },
+```
+
+This configuration enables binance, as well as rate limiting to avoid bans from the exchange.
+`"rateLimit": 200` defines a wait-event of 0.2s between each call. This can also be completely disabled by setting `"enableRateLimit"` to false.
+
+!!! Note
+    Optimal settings for rate limiting depend on the exchange and the size of the whitelist, so an ideal parameter will vary on many other settings.
+    We try to provide sensible defaults per exchange where possible, if you encounter bans please make sure that `"enableRateLimit"` is enabled and increase the `"rateLimit"` parameter step by step.
+
+#### Advanced Freqtrade Exchange configuration
+
+Advanced options can be configured using the `_ft_has_params` setting, which will override Defaults and exchange-specific behaviours.
+
+Available options are listed in the exchange-class as `_ft_has_default`.
+
+For example, to test the order type `FOK` with Kraken, and modify candle_limit to 200 (so you only get 200 candles per call):
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+    "name": "kraken",
+    "_ft_has_params": {
+        "order_time_in_force": ["gtc", "fok"],
+        "ohlcv_candle_limit": 200
+        }
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    Please make sure to fully understand the impacts of these settings before modifying them.
+
+### What values can be used for fiat_display_currency?
+
+The `fiat_display_currency` configuration parameter sets the base currency to use for the
+conversion from coin to fiat in the bot Telegram reports.
+
+The valid values are:
+
+```json
+"AUD", "BRL", "CAD", "CHF", "CLP", "CNY", "CZK", "DKK", "EUR", "GBP", "HKD", "HUF", "IDR", "ILS", "INR", "JPY", "KRW", "MXN", "MYR", "NOK", "NZD", "PHP", "PKR", "PLN", "RUB", "SEK", "SGD", "THB", "TRY", "TWD", "ZAR", "USD"
+```
+
+In addition to fiat currencies, a range of cryto currencies are supported.
+
+The valid values are:
+
+```json
+"BTC", "ETH", "XRP", "LTC", "BCH", "USDT"
+```
+
+## Prices used for orders
+
+Prices for regular orders can be controlled via the parameter structures `bid_strategy` for buying and `ask_strategy` for selling.
+Prices are always retrieved right before an order is placed, either by querying the exchange tickers or by using the orderbook data.
+
+!!! Note
+    Orderbook data used by Freqtrade are the data retrieved from exchange by the ccxt's function `fetch_order_book()`, i.e. are usually data from the L2-aggregated orderbook, while the ticker data are the structures returned by the ccxt's `fetch_ticker()`/`fetch_tickers()` functions. Refer to the ccxt library [documentation](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/wiki/Manual#market-data) for more details.
+
+### Buy price
+
+#### Check depth of market
+
+When check depth of market is enabled (`bid_strategy.check_depth_of_market.enabled=True`), the buy signals are filtered based on the orderbook depth (sum of all amounts) for each orderbook side.
+
+Orderbook `bid` (buy) side depth is then divided by the orderbook `ask` (sell) side depth and the resulting delta is compared to the value of the `bid_strategy.check_depth_of_market.bids_to_ask_delta` parameter. The buy order is only executed if the orderbook delta is greater than or equal to the configured delta value.
+
+!!! Note
+    A delta value below 1 means that `ask` (sell) orderbook side depth is greater than the depth of the `bid` (buy) orderbook side, while a value greater than 1 means opposite (depth of the buy side is higher than the depth of the sell side).
+
+#### Buy price with Orderbook enabled
+
+When buying with the orderbook enabled (`bid_strategy.use_order_book=True`), Freqtrade fetches the `bid_strategy.order_book_top` entries from the orderbook and then uses the entry specified as `bid_strategy.order_book_top` on the `bid` (buy) side of the orderbook. 1 specifies the topmost entry in the orderbook, while 2 would use the 2nd entry in the orderbook, and so on.
+
+#### Buy price without Orderbook enabled
+
+When not using orderbook (`bid_strategy.use_order_book=False`), Freqtrade uses the best `ask` (sell) price from the ticker if it's below the `last` traded price from the ticker. Otherwise (when the `ask` price is not below the `last` price), it calculates a rate between `ask` and `last` price.
+
+The `bid_strategy.ask_last_balance` configuration parameter controls this. A value of `0.0` will use `ask` price, while `1.0` will use the `last` price and values between those interpolate between ask and last price.
+
+Using `ask` price often guarantees quicker success in the bid, but the bot can also end up paying more than what would have been necessary.
+
+### Sell price
+
+#### Sell price with Orderbook enabled
+
+When selling with the orderbook enabled (`ask_strategy.use_order_book=True`), Freqtrade fetches the `ask_strategy.order_book_max` entries in the orderbook. Then each of the orderbook steps between `ask_strategy.order_book_min` and `ask_strategy.order_book_max` on the `ask` orderbook side are validated for a profitable sell-possibility based on the strategy configuration and the sell order is placed at the first profitable spot.
+
+The idea here is to place the sell order early, to be ahead in the queue.
+
+A fixed slot (mirroring `bid_strategy.order_book_top`) can be defined by setting `ask_strategy.order_book_min` and `ask_strategy.order_book_max` to the same number.
+
+!!! Warning "Orderbook and stoploss_on_exchange"
+    Using `ask_strategy.order_book_max` higher than 1 may increase the risk, since an eventual [stoploss on exchange](#understand-order_types) will be needed to be cancelled as soon as the order is placed.
+
+#### Sell price without Orderbook enabled
+
+When not using orderbook (`ask_strategy.use_order_book=False`), the `bid` price from the ticker will be used as the sell price.
+
+## Pairlists
+
+Pairlists define the list of pairs that the bot should trade.
+There are [`StaticPairList`](#static-pair-list) and dynamic Whitelists available.
+
+[`PrecisionFilter`](#precision-filter) and [`PriceFilter`](#price-pair-filter) act as filters, removing low-value pairs.
+
+All pairlists can be chained, and a combination of all pairlists will become your new whitelist. Pairlists are executed in the sequence they are configured. You should always configure either `StaticPairList` or `DynamicPairList` as starting pairlists.
+
+Inactive markets and blacklisted pairs are always removed from the resulting `pair_whitelist`.
+
+### Available Pairlists
+
+* [`StaticPairList`](#static-pair-list) (default, if not configured differently)
+* [`VolumePairList`](#volume-pair-list)
+* [`PrecisionFilter`](#precision-filter)
+* [`PriceFilter`](#price-pair-filter)
+* [`SpreadFilter`](#spread-filter)
+
+!!! Tip "Testing pairlists"
+    Pairlist configurations can be quite tricky to get right. Best use the [`test-pairlist`](utils.md#test-pairlist) subcommand to test your configuration quickly.
+
+#### Static Pair List
+
+By default, the `StaticPairList` method is used, which uses a statically defined pair whitelist from the configuration. 
+
+It uses configuration from `exchange.pair_whitelist` and `exchange.pair_blacklist`.
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [
+    {"method": "StaticPairList"}
+    ],
+```
+
+#### Volume Pair List
+
+`VolumePairList` selects `number_assets` top pairs based on `sort_key`, which can be one of `askVolume`, `bidVolume` and `quoteVolume` and defaults to `quoteVolume`.
+
+`VolumePairList` considers outputs of previous pairlists unless  it's the first configured pairlist, it does not consider `pair_whitelist`, but selects the top assets from all available markets (with matching stake-currency) on the exchange.
+
+`refresh_period` allows setting the period (in seconds), at which the pairlist will be refreshed. Defaults to 1800s (30 minutes).
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [{
+        "method": "VolumePairList",
+        "number_assets": 20,
+        "sort_key": "quoteVolume",
+        "refresh_period": 1800,
+],
+```
+
+#### Precision Filter
+
+Filters low-value coins which would not allow setting a stoploss.
+
+#### Price Pair Filter
+
+The `PriceFilter` allows filtering of pairs by price.
+Currently, only `low_price_ratio` is implemented, where a raise of 1 price unit (pip) is below the `low_price_ratio` ratio.
+This option is disabled by default, and will only apply if set to <> 0.
+
+Calculation example:  
+Min price precision is 8 decimals. If price is 0.00000011 - one step would be 0.00000012 - which is almost 10% higher than the previous value. 
+
+These pairs are dangerous since it may be impossible to place the desired stoploss - and often result in high losses.
+
+#### Spread Filter
+Removes pairs that have a difference between asks and bids above the specified ratio (default `0.005`).
+Example:
+If `DOGE/BTC` maximum bid is 0.00000026 and minimum ask is 0.00000027 the ratio is calculated as: `1 - bid/ask ~= 0.037` which is `> 0.005` 
+
+### Full Pairlist example
+
+The below example blacklists `BNB/BTC`, uses `VolumePairList` with `20` assets, sorting by `quoteVolume` and applies both [`PrecisionFilter`](#precision-filter) and [`PriceFilter`](#price-pair-filter), filtering all assets where 1 priceunit is > 1%.
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+    "pair_whitelist": [],
+    "pair_blacklist": ["BNB/BTC"]
+},
+"pairlists": [
+    {
+        "method": "VolumePairList",
+        "number_assets": 20,
+        "sort_key": "quoteVolume",
+    },
+    {"method": "PrecisionFilter"},
+    {"method": "PriceFilter", "low_price_ratio": 0.01}
+    ],
+```
+
+## Switch to Dry-run mode
+
+We recommend starting the bot in the Dry-run mode to see how your bot will
+behave and what is the performance of your strategy. In the Dry-run mode the
+bot does not engage your money. It only runs a live simulation without
+creating trades on the exchange.
+
+1. Edit your `config.json` configuration file.
+2. Switch `dry-run` to `true` and specify `db_url` for a persistence database.
+
+```json
+"dry_run": true,
+"db_url": "sqlite:///tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite",
+```
+
+3. Remove your Exchange API key and secret (change them by empty values or fake credentials):
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+        "name": "bittrex",
+        "key": "key",
+        "secret": "secret",
+        ...
+}
+```
+
+Once you will be happy with your bot performance running in the Dry-run mode, you can switch it to production mode.
+
+!!! Note
+    A simulated wallet is available during dry-run mode, and will assume a starting capital of `dry_run_wallet` (defaults to 1000).
+
+### Considerations for dry-run
+
+* API-keys may or may not be provided. Only Read-Only operations (i.e. operations that do not alter account state) on the exchange are performed in the dry-run mode.
+* Wallets (`/balance`) are simulated.
+* Orders are simulated, and will not be posted to the exchange.
+* In combination with `stoploss_on_exchange`, the stop_loss price is assumed to be filled.
+* Open orders (not trades, which are stored in the database) are reset on bot restart.
+
+## Switch to production mode
+
+In production mode, the bot will engage your money. Be careful, since a wrong
+strategy can lose all your money. Be aware of what you are doing when
+you run it in production mode.
+
+### Setup your exchange account
+
+You will need to create API Keys (usually you get `key` and `secret`, some exchanges require an additional `password`) from the Exchange website and you'll need to insert this into the appropriate fields in the configuration or when asked by the `freqtrade new-config` command.
+API Keys are usually only required for live trading (trading for real money, bot running in "production mode", executing real orders on the exchange) and are not required for the bot running in dry-run (trade simulation) mode. When you setup the bot in dry-run mode, you may fill these fields with empty values.
+
+### To switch your bot in production mode
+
+**Edit your `config.json`  file.**
+
+**Switch dry-run to false and don't forget to adapt your database URL if set:**
+
+```json
+"dry_run": false,
+```
+
+**Insert your Exchange API key (change them by fake api keys):**
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+        "name": "bittrex",
+        "key": "af8ddd35195e9dc500b9a6f799f6f5c93d89193b",
+        "secret": "08a9dc6db3d7b53e1acebd9275677f4b0a04f1a5",
+        ...
+}
+```
+
+You should also make sure to read the [Exchanges](exchanges.md) section of the documentation to be aware of potential configuration details specific to your exchange.
+
+### Using proxy with Freqtrade
+
+To use a proxy with freqtrade, add the kwarg `"aiohttp_trust_env"=true` to the `"ccxt_async_kwargs"` dict in the exchange section of the configuration.
+
+An example for this can be found in `config_full.json.example`
+
+``` json
+"ccxt_async_config": {
+    "aiohttp_trust_env": true
+}
+```
+
+Then, export your proxy settings using the variables `"HTTP_PROXY"` and `"HTTPS_PROXY"` set to the appropriate values
+
+``` bash
+export HTTP_PROXY="http://addr:port"
+export HTTPS_PROXY="http://addr:port"
+freqtrade
+```
+
+## Embedding Strategies
+
+Freqtrade provides you with with an easy way to embed the strategy into your configuration file.
+This is done by utilizing BASE64 encoding and providing this string at the strategy configuration field,
+in your chosen config file.
+
+### Encoding a string as BASE64
+
+This is a quick example, how to generate the BASE64 string in python
+
+```python
+from base64 import urlsafe_b64encode
+
+with open(file, 'r') as f:
+    content = f.read()
+content = urlsafe_b64encode(content.encode('utf-8'))
+```
+
+The variable 'content', will contain the strategy file in a BASE64 encoded form. Which can now be set in your configurations file as following
+
+```json
+"strategy": "NameOfStrategy:BASE64String"
+```
+
+Please ensure that 'NameOfStrategy' is identical to the strategy name!
+
+## Next step
+
+Now you have configured your config.json, the next step is to [start your bot](bot-usage.md).

+# Analyzing bot data with Jupyter notebooks  
+
+You can analyze the results of backtests and trading history easily using Jupyter notebooks. Sample notebooks are located at `user_data/notebooks/`.  
+
+## Pro tips  
+
+* See [jupyter.org](https://jupyter.org/documentation) for usage instructions.
+* Don't forget to start a Jupyter notebook server from within your conda or venv environment or use [nb_conda_kernels](https://github.com/Anaconda-Platform/nb_conda_kernels)*
+* Copy the example notebook before use so your changes don't get clobbered with the next freqtrade update.
+
+### Using virtual environment with system-wide Jupyter installation
+
+Sometimes it can be desired to use a system-wide installation of Jupyter notebook, and use a jupyter kernel from the virtual environment.
+This prevents you from installing the full jupyter suite multiple times per system, and provides an easy way to switch between tasks (freqtrade / other analytics tasks).
+
+For this to work, first activate your virtual environment and run the following commands:
+
+``` bash
+# Activate virtual environment
+source .env/bin/activate
+
+pip install ipykernel
+ipython kernel install --user --name=freqtrade
+# Restart jupyter (lab / notebook)
+# select kernel "freqtrade" in the notebook
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    This section is provided for completeness, the Freqtrade Team won't provide full support for problems with this setup and will recommend to install Jupyter in the virtual environment directly, as that is the easiest way to get jupyter notebooks up and running. For help with this setup please refer to the [Project Jupyter](https://jupyter.org/) [documentation](https://jupyter.org/documentation) or [help channels](https://jupyter.org/community).
+
+    
+## Fine print  
+
+Some tasks don't work especially well in notebooks. For example, anything using asynchronous execution is a problem for Jupyter. Also, freqtrade's primary entry point is the shell cli, so using pure python in a notebook bypasses arguments that provide required objects and parameters to helper functions. You may need to set those values or create expected objects manually.
+
+## Recommended workflow  
+
+| Task | Tool |  
+  --- | ---  
+Bot operations | CLI  
+Repetitive tasks | Shell scripts
+Data analysis & visualization | Notebook  
+
+1. Use the CLI to
+    * download historical data
+    * run a backtest
+    * run with real-time data
+    * export results  
+
+1. Collect these actions in shell scripts
+    * save complicated commands with arguments
+    * execute multi-step operations  
+    * automate testing strategies and preparing data for analysis
+
+1. Use a notebook to
+    * visualize data
+    * munge and plot to generate insights
+
+## Example utility snippets  
+
+### Change directory to root  
+
+Jupyter notebooks execute from the notebook directory. The following snippet searches for the project root, so relative paths remain consistent.
+
+```python
+import os
+from pathlib import Path
+
+# Change directory
+# Modify this cell to insure that the output shows the correct path.
+# Define all paths relative to the project root shown in the cell output
+project_root = "somedir/freqtrade"
+i=0
+try:
+    os.chdirdir(project_root)
+    assert Path('LICENSE').is_file()
+except:
+    while i<4 and (not Path('LICENSE').is_file()):
+        os.chdir(Path(Path.cwd(), '../'))
+        i+=1
+    project_root = Path.cwd()
+print(Path.cwd())
+```
+
+### Load multiple configuration files
+
+This option can be useful to inspect the results of passing in multiple configs.
+This will also run through the whole Configuration initialization, so the configuration is completely initialized to be passed to other methods.
+
+``` python
+import json
+from freqtrade.configuration import Configuration
+
+# Load config from multiple files
+config = Configuration.from_files(["config1.json", "config2.json"])
+
+# Show the config in memory
+print(json.dumps(config['original_config'], indent=2))
+```
+
+For Interactive environments, have an additional configuration specifying `user_data_dir` and pass this in last, so you don't have to change directories while running the bot.
+Best avoid relative paths, since this starts at the storage location of the jupyter notebook, unless the directory is changed.
+
+``` json
+{
+    "user_data_dir": "~/.freqtrade/"
+}
+```

+Exchange and pairs will come from `config.json` (if specified using `-c/--config`).
+Otherwise `--exchange` becomes mandatory.
+
+!!! Tip "Tip: Updating existing data"
+    If you already have backtesting data available in your data-directory and would like to refresh this data up to today, use `--days xx` with a number slightly higher than the missing number of days. Freqtrade will keep the available data and only download the missing data.
+    Be carefull though: If the number is too small (which would result in a few missing days), the whole dataset will be removed and only xx days will be downloaded.

+```
+
+### Data format
+
+Freqtrade currently supports 2 dataformats, `json` (plain "text" json files) and `jsongz` (a gzipped version of json files).
+By default, OHLCV data is stored as `json` data, while trades data is stored as `jsongz` data.
+
+This can be changed via the `--data-format-ohlcv` and `--data-format-trades` parameters respectivly.
+
+If the default dataformat has been changed during download, then the keys `dataformat_ohlcv` and `dataformat_trades` in the configuration file need to be adjusted to the selected dataformat as well.
+
+!!! Note
+    You can convert between data-formats using the [convert-data](#subcommand-convert-data) and [convert-trade-data](#subcommand-convert-trade-data) methods.

+```
+
+##### Example converting trades
+
+The following command will convert all available trade-data in `~/.freqtrade/data/kraken` from jsongz to json.
+It'll also remove original jsongz data files (`--erase` parameter).
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade convert-trade-data --format-from jsongz --format-to json --data-dir ~/.freqtrade/data/kraken --erase
+```
+
+### Pairs file
+
+In alternative to the whitelist from `config.json`, a `pairs.json` file can be used.
+
+If you are using Binance for example:
+
+- create a directory `user_data/data/binance` and copy or create the `pairs.json` file in that directory.
+- update the `pairs.json` file to contain the currency pairs you are interested in.
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p user_data/data/binance
+cp freqtrade/tests/testdata/pairs.json user_data/data/binance
+```
+
+The format of the `pairs.json` file is a simple json list.
+Mixing different stake-currencies is allowed for this file, since it's only used for downloading.
+
+``` json
+[
+    "ETH/BTC",
+    "ETH/USDT",
+    "BTC/USDT",
+    "XRP/ETH"
+]
+```
+
+### Start download
+
+Then run:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade download-data --exchange binance
+```
+
+This will download ticker data for all the currency pairs you defined in `pairs.json`.
+
+### Other Notes
+
+- To use a different directory than the exchange specific default, use `--datadir user_data/data/some_directory`.
+- To change the exchange used to download the tickers, please use a different configuration file (you'll probably need to adjust ratelimits etc.)
+- To use `pairs.json` from some other directory, use `--pairs-file some_other_dir/pairs.json`.
+- To download ticker data for only 10 days, use `--days 10` (defaults to 30 days).
+- Use `--timeframes` to specify which tickers to download. Default is `--timeframes 1m 5m` which will download 1-minute and 5-minute tickers.
+- To use exchange, timeframe and list of pairs as defined in your configuration file, use the `-c/--config` option. With this, the script uses the whitelist defined in the config as the list of currency pairs to download data for and does not require the pairs.json file. You can combine `-c/--config` with most other options.
+
+### Trades (tick) data
+
+By default, `download-data` subcommand downloads Candles (OHLCV) data. Some exchanges also provide historic trade-data via their API.
+This data can be useful if you need many different timeframes, since it is only downloaded once, and then resampled locally to the desired timeframes.
+
+Since this data is large by default, the files use gzip by default. They are stored in your data-directory with the naming convention of `<pair>-trades.json.gz` (`ETH_BTC-trades.json.gz`). Incremental mode is also supported, as for historic OHLCV data, so downloading the data once per week with `--days 8` will create an incremental data-repository.
+
+To use this mode, simply add `--dl-trades` to your call. This will swap the download method to download trades, and resamples the data locally.
+
+Example call:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs XRP/ETH ETH/BTC --days 20 --dl-trades
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    While this method uses async calls, it will be slow, since it requires the result of the previous call to generate the next request to the exchange.
+
+!!! Warning
+    The historic trades are not available during Freqtrade dry-run and live trade modes because all exchanges tested provide this data with a delay of few 100 candles, so it's not suitable for real-time trading.
+
+!!! Note "Kraken user"
+    Kraken users should read [this](exchanges.md#historic-kraken-data) before starting to download data.
+
+## Next step
+
+Great, you now have backtest data downloaded, so you can now start [backtesting](backtesting.md) your strategy.

+# Deprecated features
+
+This page contains description of the command line arguments, configuration parameters
+and the bot features that were declared as DEPRECATED by the bot development team
+and are no longer supported. Please avoid their usage in your configuration.
+
+## Removed features
+
+### the `--refresh-pairs-cached` command line option
+
+`--refresh-pairs-cached` in the context of backtesting, hyperopt and edge allows to refresh candle data for backtesting.
+Since this leads to much confusion, and slows down backtesting (while not being part of backtesting) this has been singled out 
+as a seperate freqtrade subcommand `freqtrade download-data`.
+
+This command line option was deprecated in 2019.7-dev (develop branch) and removed in 2019.9 (master branch).
+
+### The **--dynamic-whitelist** command line option
+
+This command line option was deprecated in 2018 and removed freqtrade 2019.6-dev (develop branch)
+and in freqtrade 2019.7 (master branch).
+
+### the `--live` command line option
+
+`--live` in the context of backtesting allowed to download the latest tick data for backtesting.
+Did only download the latest 500 candles, so was ineffective in getting good backtest data.
+Removed in 2019-7-dev (develop branch) and in freqtrade 2019-8 (master branch)

+# Development Help
+
+This page is intended for developers of Freqtrade, people who want to contribute to the Freqtrade codebase or documentation, or people who want to understand the source code of the application they're running.
+
+All contributions, bug reports, bug fixes, documentation improvements, enhancements and ideas are welcome. We [track issues](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/issues) on [GitHub](https://github.com) and also have a dev channel in [slack](https://join.slack.com/t/highfrequencybot/shared_invite/enQtNjU5ODcwNjI1MDU3LTU1MTgxMjkzNmYxNWE1MDEzYzQ3YmU4N2MwZjUyNjJjODRkMDVkNjg4YTAyZGYzYzlhOTZiMTE4ZjQ4YzM0OGE) where you can ask questions.
+
+## Documentation
+
+Documentation is available at [https://freqtrade.io](https://www.freqtrade.io/) and needs to be provided with every new feature PR.
+
+Special fields for the documentation (like Note boxes, ...) can be found [here](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/extensions/admonition/).
+
+## Developer setup
+
+To configure a development environment, best use the `setup.sh` script and answer "y" when asked "Do you want to install dependencies for dev [y/N]? ".
+Alternatively (if your system is not supported by the setup.sh script), follow the manual installation process and run `pip3 install -e .[all]`.
+
+This will install all required tools for development, including `pytest`, `flake8`, `mypy`, and `coveralls`.
+
+### Tests
+
+New code should be covered by basic unittests. Depending on the complexity of the feature, Reviewers may request more in-depth unittests.
+If necessary, the Freqtrade team can assist and give guidance with writing good tests (however please don't expect anyone to write the tests for you).
+
+#### Checking log content in tests
+
+Freqtrade uses 2 main methods to check log content in tests, `log_has()` and `log_has_re()` (to check using regex, in case of dynamic log-messages).
+These are available from `conftest.py` and can be imported in any test module.
+
+A sample check looks as follows:
+
+``` python
+from tests.conftest import log_has, log_has_re
+
+def test_method_to_test(caplog):
+    method_to_test()
+
+    assert log_has("This event happened", caplog)
+    # Check regex with trailing number ...
+    assert log_has_re(r"This dynamic event happened and produced \d+", caplog)
+
+```
+
+### Local docker usage
+
+The fastest and easiest way to start up is to use docker-compose.develop which gives developers the ability to start the bot up with all the required dependencies, *without* needing to install any freqtrade specific dependencies on your local machine.
+
+#### Install
+
+* [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)
+* [docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/)
+* [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
+
+#### Starting the bot
+##### Use the develop dockerfile
+
+``` bash
+rm docker-compose.yml && mv docker-compose.develop.yml docker-compose.yml
+```
+
+#### Docker Compose
+
+##### Starting
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+![Docker compose up](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/419355/65456322-47f63a80-de06-11e9-90c6-3c74d1bad0b8.png)
+
+##### Rebuilding
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose build
+```
+
+##### Execing (effectively SSH into the container)
+
+The `exec` command requires that the container already be running, if you want to start it
+that can be effected by `docker-compose up` or `docker-compose run freqtrade_develop`
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose exec freqtrade_develop /bin/bash
+```

+
+## Modules
+
+### Dynamic Pairlist
+
+You have a great idea for a new pair selection algorithm you would like to try out? Great.
+Hopefully you also want to contribute this back upstream.
+
+Whatever your motivations are - This should get you off the ground in trying to develop a new Pairlist provider.
+
+First of all, have a look at the [VolumePairList](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/pairlist/VolumePairList.py) provider, and best copy this file with a name of your new Pairlist Provider.
+
+This is a simple provider, which however serves as a good example on how to start developing.
+
+Next, modify the classname of the provider (ideally align this with the Filename).
+
+The base-class provides an instance of the exchange (`self._exchange`) the pairlist manager (`self._pairlistmanager`), as well as the main configuration (`self._config`), the pairlist dedicated configuration (`self._pairlistconfig`) and the absolute position within the list of pairlists.
+
+```python
+        self._exchange = exchange
+        self._pairlistmanager = pairlistmanager
+        self._config = config
+        self._pairlistconfig = pairlistconfig
+        self._pairlist_pos = pairlist_pos
+```
+
+Now, let's step through the methods which require actions:
+
+#### Pairlist configuration
+
+Configuration for PairListProvider is done in the bot configuration file in the element `"pairlist"`.
+This Pairlist-object may contain configurations with additional configurations for the configured pairlist.
+By convention, `"number_assets"` is used to specify the maximum number of pairs to keep in the whitelist. Please follow this to ensure a consistent user experience.
+
+Additional elements can be configured as needed. `VolumePairList` uses `"sort_key"` to specify the sorting value - however feel free to specify whatever is necessary for your great algorithm to be successfull and dynamic.
+
+#### short_desc
+
+Returns a description used for Telegram messages.
+This should contain the name of the Provider, as well as a short description containing the number of assets. Please follow the format `"PairlistName - top/bottom X pairs"`.
+
+#### filter_pairlist
+
+Override this method and run all calculations needed in this method.
+This is called with each iteration of the bot - so consider implementing caching for compute/network heavy calculations.
+
+It get's passed a pairlist (which can be the result of previous pairlists) as well as `tickers`, a pre-fetched version of `get_tickers()`.
+
+It must return the resulting pairlist (which may then be passed into the next pairlist filter).
+
+Validations are optional, the parent class exposes a `_verify_blacklist(pairlist)` and `_whitelist_for_active_markets(pairlist)` to do default filters. Use this if you limit your result to a certain number of pairs - so the endresult is not shorter than expected.
+
+##### sample
+
+``` python
+    def filter_pairlist(self, pairlist: List[str], tickers: Dict) -> List[str]:
+        # Generate dynamic whitelist
+        pairs = self._calculate_pairlist(pairlist, tickers)
+        return pairs
+```
+
+#### _gen_pair_whitelist
+
+This is a simple method used by `VolumePairList` - however serves as a good example.
+In VolumePairList, this implements different methods of sorting, does early validation so only the expected number of pairs is returned.
+
+## Implement a new Exchange (WIP)
+
+!!! Note
+    This section is a Work in Progress and is not a complete guide on how to test a new exchange with Freqtrade.
+
+Most exchanges supported by CCXT should work out of the box.
+
+### Stoploss On Exchange
+
+Check if the new exchange supports Stoploss on Exchange orders through their API.
+
+Since CCXT does not provide unification for Stoploss On Exchange yet, we'll need to implement the exchange-specific parameters ourselfs. Best look at `binance.py` for an example implementation of this. You'll need to dig through the documentation of the Exchange's API on how exactly this can be done. [CCXT Issues](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/issues) may also provide great help, since others may have implemented something similar for their projects.
+
+### Incomplete candles
+
+While fetching OHLCV data, we're may end up getting incomplete candles (Depending on the exchange).
+To demonstrate this, we'll use daily candles (`"1d"`) to keep things simple.
+We query the api (`ct.fetch_ohlcv()`) for the timeframe and look at the date of the last entry. If this entry changes or shows the date of a "incomplete" candle, then we should drop this since having incomplete candles is problematic because indicators assume that only complete candles are passed to them, and will generate a lot of false buy signals. By default, we're therefore removing the last candle assuming it's incomplete.
+
+To check how the new exchange behaves, you can use the following snippet:
+
+``` python
+import ccxt
+from datetime import datetime
+from freqtrade.data.converter import parse_ticker_dataframe
+ct = ccxt.binance()
+timeframe = "1d"
+pair = "XLM/BTC"  # Make sure to use a pair that exists on that exchange!
+raw = ct.fetch_ohlcv(pair, timeframe=timeframe)
+
+# convert to dataframe
+df1 = parse_ticker_dataframe(raw, timeframe, pair=pair, drop_incomplete=False)
+
+print(df1.tail(1))
+print(datetime.utcnow())
+```
+
+``` output
+                         date      open      high       low     close  volume

+2019-06-09 12:30:27.873327
+```
+
+The output will show the last entry from the Exchange as well as the current UTC date.
+If the day shows the same day, then the last candle can be assumed as incomplete and should be dropped (leave the setting `"ohlcv_partial_candle"` from the exchange-class untouched / True). Otherwise, set `"ohlcv_partial_candle"` to `False` to not drop Candles (shown in the example above).
+Another way is to run this command multiple times in a row and observe if the volume is changing (while the date remains the same).
+
+## Updating example notebooks
+
+To keep the jupyter notebooks aligned with the documentation, the following should be ran after updating a example notebook.
+
+``` bash
+jupyter nbconvert --ClearOutputPreprocessor.enabled=True --inplace freqtrade/templates/strategy_analysis_example.ipynb
+jupyter nbconvert --ClearOutputPreprocessor.enabled=True --to markdown freqtrade/templates/strategy_analysis_example.ipynb --stdout > docs/strategy_analysis_example.md
+```
+
+## Continuous integration
+
+This documents some decisions taken for the CI Pipeline.
+
+* CI runs on all OS variants, Linux (ubuntu), macOS and Windows.
+* Docker images are build for the branches `master` and `develop`.
+* Raspberry PI Docker images are postfixed with `_pi` - so tags will be `:master_pi` and `develop_pi`.
+* Docker images contain a file, `/freqtrade/freqtrade_commit` containing the commit this image is based of.
+* Full docker image rebuilds are run once a week via schedule.
+* Deployments run on ubuntu.
+* ta-lib binaries are contained in the build_helpers directory to avoid fails related to external unavailability.
+* All tests must pass for a PR to be merged to `master` or `develop`.
+
+## Creating a release
+
+This part of the documentation is aimed at maintainers, and shows how to create a release.
+
+### Create release branch
+
+First, pick a commit that's about one week old (to not include latest additions to releases).
+
+``` bash
+# create new branch
+git checkout -b new_release <commitid>
+```
+
+Determine if crucial bugfixes have been made between this commit and the current state, and eventually cherry-pick these.
+
+* Edit `freqtrade/__init__.py` and add the version matching the current date (for example `2019.7` for July 2019). Minor versions can be `2019.7-1` should we need to do a second release that month.
+* Commit this part
+* push that branch to the remote and create a PR against the master branch
+
+### Create changelog from git commits
+
+!!! Note
+    Make sure that the master branch is uptodate!
+
+``` bash
+# Needs to be done before merging / pulling that branch.
+git log --oneline --no-decorate --no-merges master..new_release
+```
+
+To keep the release-log short, best wrap the full git changelog into a collapsible details secction.
+
+```markdown
+<details>
+<summary>Expand full changelog</summary>
+
+... Full git changelog
+
+</details>
+```
+
+### Create github release / tag
+
+Once the PR against master is merged (best right after merging):
+
+* Use the button "Draft a new release" in the Github UI (subsection releases).
+* Use the version-number specified as tag.
+* Use "master" as reference (this step comes after the above PR is merged).
+* Use the above changelog as release comment (as codeblock)
+
+### After-release
+
+* Update version in develop by postfixing that with `-dev` (`2019.6 -> 2019.6-dev`).
+* Create a PR against develop to update that branch.
+
+## Releases
+
+### pypi
+
+To create a pypi release, please run the following commands:
+
+Additional requirement: `wheel`, `twine` (for uploading), account on pypi with proper permissions.
+
+``` bash
+python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
+
+# For pypi test (to check if some change to the installation did work)
+twine upload --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/*
+
+# For production:
+twine upload dist/*
+```
+
+Please don't push non-releases to the productive / real pypi instance.

+# Using Freqtrade with Docker
+
+## Install Docker
+
+Start by downloading and installing Docker CE for your platform:
+
+* [Mac](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/)
+* [Windows](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/)
+* [Linux](https://docs.docker.com/install/)
+
+Optionally, [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) should be installed and available to follow the [docker quick start guide](#docker-quick-start).
+
+Once you have Docker installed, simply prepare the config file (e.g. `config.json`) and run the image for `freqtrade` as explained below.
+
+## Freqtrade with docker-compose
+
+Freqtrade provides an official Docker image on [Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/freqtradeorg/freqtrade/), as well as a [docker-compose file](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docker-compose.yml) ready for usage.
+
+!!! Note
+    The following section assumes that docker and docker-compose is installed and available to the logged in user.
+
+!!! Note
+    All below comands use relative directories and will have to be executed from the directory containing the `docker-compose.yml` file.
+
+### Docker quick start
+
+Create a new directory and place the [docker-compose file](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docker-compose.yml) in this directory.
+
+``` bash
+mkdir ft_userdata
+cd ft_userdata/
+# Download the docker-compose file from the repository
+curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/develop/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
+
+# Pull the freqtrade image
+docker-compose pull
+
+# Create user directory structure
+docker-compose run --rm freqtrade create-userdir --userdir user_data
+
+# Create configuration - Requires answering interactive questions
+docker-compose run --rm freqtrade new-config --config user_data/config.json
+```
+
+The above snippet creates a new directory called "ft_userdata", downloads the latest compose file and pulls the freqtrade image.
+The last 2 steps in the snippet create the directory with user-data, as well as (interactively) the default configuration based on your selections.
+
+!!! Note
+    You can edit the configuration at any time, which is available as `user_data/config.json` (within the directory `ft_userdata`) when using the above configuration.
+
+#### Adding your strategy
+
+The configuration is now available as `user_data/config.json`.
+You should now copy your strategy to `user_data/strategies/` - and add the Strategy class name to the `docker-compose.yml` file, replacing `SampleStrategy`. If you wish to run the bot with the SampleStrategy, just leave it as it is.
+
+!!! Warning
+    The `SampleStrategy` is there for your reference and give you ideas for your own strategy.
+    Please always backtest the strategy and use dry-run for some time before risking real money!
+
+Once this is done, you're ready to launch the bot in trading mode (Dry-run or Live-trading, depending on your answer to the corresponding question you made above).
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+#### Docker-compose logs
+
+Logs will be written to `user_data/freqtrade.log`. 
+Alternatively, you can check the latest logs using `docker-compose logs -f`.
+
+#### Database
+
+The database will be in the user_data directory as well, and will be called `user_data/tradesv3.sqlite`.
+
+#### Updating freqtrade with docker-compose
+
+To update freqtrade when using docker-compose is as simple as running the following 2 commands:
+
+``` bash
+# Download the latest image
+docker-compose pull
+# Restart the image
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+This will first pull the latest image, and will then restart the container with the just pulled version.
+
+!!! Note
+    You should always check the changelog for breaking changes / manual interventions required and make sure the bot starts correctly after the update.
+
+#### Going from here
+
+Advanced users may edit the docker-compose file further to include all possible options or arguments.
+
+All possible freqtrade arguments will be available by running `docker-compose run --rm freqtrade <command> <optional arguments>`.
+
+!!! Note "`docker-compose run --rm`"
+    Including `--rm` will clean up the container after completion, and is highly recommended for all modes except trading mode (running with `freqtrade trade` command).
+
+##### Example: Download data with docker-compose
+
+Download backtesting data for 5 days for the pair ETH/BTC and 1h timeframe from Binance. The data will be stored in the directory `user_data/data/` on the host.
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose run --rm freqtrade download-data --pairs ETH/BTC --exchange binance --days 5 -t 1h
+```
+
+Head over to the [Data Downloading Documentation](data-download.md) for more details on downloading data.
+
+##### Example: Backtest with docker-compose
+
+Run backtesting in docker-containers for SampleStrategy and specified timerange of historical data, on 5m timeframe:
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose run --rm freqtrade backtesting --config user_data/config.json --strategy SampleStrategy --timerange 20190801-20191001 -i 5m
+```
+
+Head over to the [Backtesting Documentation](backtesting.md) to learn more.
+
+#### Additional dependencies with docker-compose
+
+If your strategy requires dependencies not included in the default image (like [technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/technical)) - it will be necessary to build the image on your host.
+For this, please create a Dockerfile containing installation steps for the additional dependencies (have a look at [Dockerfile.technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/Dockerfile.technical) for an example).
+
+You'll then also need to modify the `docker-compose.yml` file and uncomment the build step, as well as rename the image to avoid naming collisions.
+
+``` yaml
+    image: freqtrade_custom
+    build:
+      context: .
+      dockerfile: "./Dockerfile.<yourextension>"
+```
+
+You can then run `docker-compose build` to build the docker image, and run it using the commands described above.
+
+## Freqtrade with docker without docker-compose
+
+!!! Warning
+    The below documentation is provided for completeness and assumes that you are somewhat familiar with running docker containers. If you're just starting out with docker, we recommend to follow the [Freqtrade with docker-compose](#freqtrade-with-docker-compose) instructions.
+
+### Download the official Freqtrade docker image
+
+Pull the image from docker hub.
+
+Branches / tags available can be checked out on [Dockerhub tags page](https://hub.docker.com/r/freqtradeorg/freqtrade/tags/).
+
+```bash
+docker pull freqtradeorg/freqtrade:develop
+# Optionally tag the repository so the run-commands remain shorter
+docker tag freqtradeorg/freqtrade:develop freqtrade
+```
+
+To update the image, simply run the above commands again and restart your running container.
+
+Should you require additional libraries, please [build the image yourself](#build-your-own-docker-image).
+
+!!! Note "Docker image update frequency"
+    The official docker images with tags `master`, `develop` and `latest` are automatically rebuild once a week to keep the base image uptodate.
+    In addition to that, every merge to `develop` will trigger a rebuild for `develop` and `latest`.
+
+### Prepare the configuration files
+
+Even though you will use docker, you'll still need some files from the github repository.
+
+#### Clone the git repository
+
+Linux/Mac/Windows with WSL
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
+```
+
+Windows with docker
+
+```bash
+git clone --config core.autocrlf=input https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
+```
+
+#### Copy `config.json.example` to `config.json`
+
+```bash
+cd freqtrade
+cp -n config.json.example config.json
+```
+
+> To understand the configuration options, please refer to the [Bot Configuration](configuration.md) page.
+
+#### Create your database file
+
+Production
+
+```bash
+touch tradesv3.sqlite
+````
+
+Dry-Run
+
+```bash
+touch tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    Make sure to use the path to this file when starting the bot in docker.
+
+### Build your own Docker image
+
+Best start by pulling the official docker image from dockerhub as explained [here](#download-the-official-docker-image) to speed up building.
+
+To add additional libraries to your docker image, best check out [Dockerfile.technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/Dockerfile.technical) which adds the [technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/technical) module to the image.
+
+```bash
+docker build -t freqtrade -f Dockerfile.technical .
+```
+
+If you are developing using Docker, use `Dockerfile.develop` to build a dev Docker image, which will also set up develop dependencies:
+
+```bash
+docker build -f Dockerfile.develop -t freqtrade-dev .
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    For security reasons, your configuration file will not be included in the image, you will need to bind mount it. It is also advised to bind mount an SQLite database file (see the "5. Run a restartable docker image" section) to keep it between  updates.
+
+#### Verify the Docker image
+
+After the build process you can verify that the image was created with:
+
+```bash
+docker images
+```
+
+The output should contain the freqtrade image.
+
+### Run the Docker image
+
+You can run a one-off container that is immediately deleted upon exiting with the following command (`config.json` must be in the current working directory):
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    In this example, the database will be created inside the docker instance and will be lost when you will refresh your image.
+
+#### Adjust timezone
+
+By default, the container will use UTC timezone.
+Should you find this irritating please add the following to your docker commands:
+
+##### Linux
+
+``` bash
+-v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
+
+# Complete command:
+docker run --rm -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
+```
+
+##### MacOS
+
+There is known issue in OSX Docker versions after 17.09.1, whereby `/etc/localtime` cannot be shared causing Docker to not start. A work-around for this is to start with the following cmd.
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -e TZ=`ls -la /etc/localtime | cut -d/ -f8-9` -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
+```
+
+More information on this docker issue and work-around can be read [here](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/2396).
+
+### Run a restartable docker image
+
+To run a restartable instance in the background (feel free to place your configuration and database files wherever it feels comfortable on your filesystem).
+
+#### Move your config file and database
+
+The following will assume that you place your configuration / database files to `~/.freqtrade`, which is a hidden directory in your home directory. Feel free to use a different directory and replace the directory in the upcomming commands.
+
+```bash
+mkdir ~/.freqtrade
+mv config.json ~/.freqtrade
+mv tradesv3.sqlite ~/.freqtrade
+```
+
+#### Run the docker image
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name freqtrade \
+  -v ~/.freqtrade/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json \
+  -v ~/.freqtrade/user_data/:/freqtrade/user_data \
+  -v ~/.freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite:/freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite \
+  freqtrade trade --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite --strategy MyAwesomeStrategy
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    When using docker, it's best to specify `--db-url` explicitly to ensure that the database URL and the mounted database file match.
+
+!!! Note
+    All available bot command line parameters can be added to the end of the `docker run` command.
+
+!!! Note
+    You can define a [restart policy](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/start-containers-automatically/) in docker. It can be useful in some cases to use the `--restart unless-stopped` flag (crash of freqtrade or reboot of your system).
+
+### Monitor your Docker instance
+
+You can use the following commands to monitor and manage your container:
+
+```bash
+docker logs freqtrade
+docker logs -f freqtrade
+docker restart freqtrade
+docker stop freqtrade
+docker start freqtrade
+```
+
+For more information on how to operate Docker, please refer to the [official Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/).
+
+!!! Note
+    You do not need to rebuild the image for configuration changes, it will suffice to edit `config.json` and restart the container.
+
+### Backtest with docker
+
+The following assumes that the download/setup of the docker image have been completed successfully.
+Also, backtest-data should be available at `~/.freqtrade/user_data/`.
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name freqtrade \
+  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
+  -v ~/.freqtrade/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json \
+  -v ~/.freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite:/freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite \
+  -v ~/.freqtrade/user_data/:/freqtrade/user_data/ \
+  freqtrade backtesting --strategy AwsomelyProfitableStrategy
+```
+
+Head over to the [Backtesting Documentation](backtesting.md) for more details.
+
+!!! Note
+    Additional bot command line parameters can be appended after the image name (`freqtrade` in the above example).

+# Edge positioning
+
+This page explains how to use Edge Positioning module in your bot in order to enter into a trade only if the trade has a reasonable win rate and risk reward ratio, and consequently adjust your position size and stoploss.
+
+!!! Warning
+    Edge positioning is not compatible with dynamic (volume-based) whitelist.
+
+!!! Note
+    Edge does not consider anything else than buy/sell/stoploss signals. So trailing stoploss, ROI, and everything else are ignored in its calculation.
+
+## Introduction
+
+Trading is all about probability. No one can claim that he has a strategy working all the time. You have to assume that sometimes you lose.
+
+But it doesn't mean there is no rule, it only means rules should work "most of the time". Let's play a game: we toss a coin, heads: I give you 10$, tails: you give me 10$. Is it an interesting game? No, it's quite boring, isn't it?
+
+But let's say the probability that we have heads is 80% (because our coin has the displaced distribution of mass or other defect), and the probability that we have tails is 20%. Now it is becoming interesting...
+
+That means 10$ X 80% versus 10$ X 20%. 8$ versus 2$. That means over time you will win 8$ risking only 2$ on each toss of coin.
+
+Let's complicate it more: you win 80% of the time but only 2$, I win 20% of the time but 8$. The calculation is: 80% X 2$ versus 20% X 8$. It is becoming boring again because overtime you win $1.6$ (80% X 2$) and me $1.6 (20% X 8$) too.
+
+The question is: How do you calculate that? How do you know if you wanna play?
+
+The answer comes to two factors:
+
+- Win Rate
+- Risk Reward Ratio
+
+### Win Rate
+
+Win Rate (*W*) is is the mean over some amount of trades (*N*) what is the percentage of winning trades to total number of trades (note that we don't consider how much you gained but only if you won or not).
+
+```
+W = (Number of winning trades) / (Total number of trades) = (Number of winning trades) / N
+```
+
+Complementary Loss Rate (*L*) is defined as
+
+```
+L = (Number of losing trades) / (Total number of trades) = (Number of losing trades) / N
+```
+
+or, which is the same, as
+
+```
+L = 1 – W
+```
+
+### Risk Reward Ratio
+
+Risk Reward Ratio (*R*) is a formula used to measure the expected gains of a given investment against the risk of loss. It is basically what you potentially win divided by what you potentially lose:
+
+```
+R = Profit / Loss
+```
+
+Over time, on many trades, you can calculate your risk reward by dividing your average profit on winning trades by your average loss on losing trades:
+
+```
+Average profit = (Sum of profits) / (Number of winning trades)
+
+Average loss = (Sum of losses) / (Number of losing trades)
+
+R = (Average profit) / (Average loss)
+```
+
+### Expectancy
+
+At this point we can combine *W* and *R* to create an expectancy ratio. This is a simple process of multiplying the risk reward ratio by the percentage of winning trades and subtracting the percentage of losing trades, which is calculated as follows:
+
+```
+Expectancy Ratio = (Risk Reward Ratio X Win Rate) – Loss Rate = (R X W) – L
+```
+
+So lets say your Win rate is 28% and your Risk Reward Ratio is 5:
+
+```
+Expectancy = (5 X 0.28) – 0.72 = 0.68
+```
+
+Superficially, this means that on average you expect this strategy’s trades to return .68 times the size of your loses. This is important for two reasons: First, it may seem obvious, but you know right away that you have a positive return. Second, you now have a number you can compare to other candidate systems to make decisions about which ones you employ.
+
+It is important to remember that any system with an expectancy greater than 0 is profitable using past data. The key is finding one that will be profitable in the future.
+
+You can also use this value to evaluate the effectiveness of modifications to this system.
+
+**NOTICE:** It's important to keep in mind that Edge is testing your expectancy using historical data, there's no guarantee that you will have a similar edge in the future. It's still vital to do this testing in order to build confidence in your methodology, but be wary of "curve-fitting" your approach to the historical data as things are unlikely to play out the exact same way for future trades.
+
+## How does it work?
+
+If enabled in config, Edge will go through historical data with a range of stoplosses in order to find buy and sell/stoploss signals. It then calculates win rate and expectancy over *N* trades for each stoploss. Here is an example:
+
+| Pair   |      Stoploss      |  Win Rate | Risk Reward Ratio | Expectancy |
+|----------|:-------------:|-------------:|------------------:|-----------:|
+| XZC/ETH  |  -0.01        |   0.50       |1.176384           | 0.088      |
+| XZC/ETH  |  -0.02        |   0.51       |1.115941           | 0.079      |
+| XZC/ETH  |  -0.03        |   0.52       |1.359670           | 0.228      |
+| XZC/ETH  |  -0.04        |   0.51       |1.234539           | 0.117      |
+
+The goal here is to find the best stoploss for the strategy in order to have the maximum expectancy. In the above example stoploss at 3% leads to the maximum expectancy according to historical data.
+
+Edge module then forces stoploss value it evaluated to your strategy dynamically.
+
+### Position size
+
+Edge also dictates the stake amount for each trade to the bot according to the following factors:
+
+- Allowed capital at risk
+- Stoploss
+
+Allowed capital at risk is calculated as follows:
+
+```
+Allowed capital at risk = (Capital available_percentage) X (Allowed risk per trade)
+```
+
+Stoploss is calculated as described above against historical data.
+
+Your position size then will be:
+
+```
+Position size = (Allowed capital at risk) / Stoploss
+```
+
+Example:
+
+Let's say the stake currency is ETH and you have 10 ETH on the exchange, your capital available percentage is 50% and you would allow 1% of risk for each trade. thus your available capital for trading is **10 x 0.5 = 5 ETH** and allowed capital at risk would be **5 x 0.01 = 0.05 ETH**.
+
+Let's assume Edge has calculated that for **XLM/ETH** market your stoploss should be at 2%. So your position size will be **0.05 / 0.02 = 2.5 ETH**.
+
+Bot takes a position of 2.5 ETH on XLM/ETH (call it trade 1). Up next, you receive another buy signal while trade 1 is still open. This time on **BTC/ETH** market. Edge calculated stoploss for this market at 4%. So your position size would be 0.05 / 0.04 = 1.25 ETH (call it trade 2).
+
+Note that available capital for trading didn’t change for trade 2 even if you had already trade 1. The available capital doesn’t mean the free amount on your wallet.
+
+Now you have two trades open. The bot receives yet another buy signal for another market: **ADA/ETH**. This time the stoploss is calculated at 1%. So your position size is **0.05 / 0.01 = 5 ETH**. But there are already 3.75 ETH blocked in two previous trades. So the position size for this third trade would be **5 – 3.75 = 1.25 ETH**.
+
+Available capital doesn’t change before a position is sold. Let’s assume that trade 1 receives a sell signal and it is sold with a profit of 1 ETH. Your total capital on exchange would be 11 ETH and the available capital for trading becomes 5.5 ETH.
+
+So the Bot receives another buy signal for trade 4 with a stoploss at 2% then your position size would be **0.055 / 0.02 = 2.75 ETH**.
+
+## Configurations
+
+Edge module has following configuration options:
+
+|  Parameter | Description |
+|------------|-------------|
+| `enabled` | If true, then Edge will run periodically. <br>*Defaults to `false`.* <br> **Datatype:** Boolean
+| `process_throttle_secs` | How often should Edge run in seconds. <br>*Defaults to `3600` (once per hour).* <br> **Datatype:** Integer
+| `calculate_since_number_of_days` | Number of days of data against which Edge calculates Win Rate, Risk Reward and Expectancy. <br> **Note** that it downloads historical data so increasing this number would lead to slowing down the bot. <br>*Defaults to `7`.* <br> **Datatype:** Integer
+| `capital_available_percentage` | **DEPRECATED - [replaced with `tradable_balance_ratio`](configuration.md#Available balance)** This is the percentage of the total capital on exchange in stake currency. <br>As an example if you have 10 ETH available in your wallet on the exchange and this value is 0.5 (which is 50%), then the bot will use a maximum amount of 5 ETH for trading and considers it as available capital. <br>*Defaults to `0.5`.* <br> **Datatype:** Float
+| `allowed_risk` | Ratio of allowed risk per trade. <br>*Defaults to `0.01` (1%)).* <br> **Datatype:** Float
+| `stoploss_range_min` | Minimum stoploss. <br>*Defaults to `-0.01`.* <br> **Datatype:** Float
+| `stoploss_range_max` | Maximum stoploss. <br>*Defaults to `-0.10`.* <br> **Datatype:** Float
+| `stoploss_range_step` | As an example if this is set to -0.01 then Edge will test the strategy for `[-0.01, -0,02, -0,03 ..., -0.09, -0.10]` ranges. <br> **Note** than having a smaller step means having a bigger range which could lead to slow calculation. <br> If you set this parameter to -0.001, you then slow down the Edge calculation by a factor of 10. <br>*Defaults to `-0.001`.* <br> **Datatype:** Float
+| `minimum_winrate` | It filters out pairs which don't have at least minimum_winrate. <br>This comes handy if you want to be conservative and don't comprise win rate in favour of risk reward ratio. <br>*Defaults to `0.60`.* <br> **Datatype:** Float
+| `minimum_expectancy` | It filters out pairs which have the expectancy lower than this number. <br>Having an expectancy of 0.20 means if you put 10$ on a trade you expect a 12$ return. <br>*Defaults to `0.20`.* <br> **Datatype:** Float
+| `min_trade_number` | When calculating *W*, *R* and *E* (expectancy) against historical data, you always want to have a minimum number of trades. The more this number is the more Edge is reliable. <br>Having a win rate of 100% on a single trade doesn't mean anything at all. But having a win rate of 70% over past 100 trades means clearly something. <br>*Defaults to `10` (it is highly recommended not to decrease this number).* <br> **Datatype:** Integer
+| `max_trade_duration_minute` | Edge will filter out trades with long duration. If a trade is profitable after 1 month, it is hard to evaluate the strategy based on it. But if most of trades are profitable and they have maximum duration of 30 minutes, then it is clearly a good sign.<br>**NOTICE:** While configuring this value, you should take into consideration your ticker interval. As an example filtering out trades having duration less than one day for a strategy which has 4h interval does not make sense. Default value is set assuming your strategy interval is relatively small (1m or 5m, etc.).<br>*Defaults to `1440` (one day).* <br> **Datatype:** Integer
+| `remove_pumps` | Edge will remove sudden pumps in a given market while going through historical data. However, given that pumps happen very often in crypto markets, we recommend you keep this off.<br>*Defaults to `false`.* <br> **Datatype:** Boolean
+
+## Running Edge independently
+
+You can run Edge independently in order to see in details the result. Here is an example:
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade edge
+```
+
+An example of its output:
+
+| pair      |   stoploss |   win rate |   risk reward ratio |   required risk reward |   expectancy |   total number of trades |   average duration (min) |

+# Exchange-specific Notes
+
+This page combines common gotchas and informations which are exchange-specific and most likely don't apply to other exchanges.
+
+## Binance
+
+!!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
+    Binance supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses stop-loss-limit orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it.
+
+### Blacklists
+
+For Binance, please add `"BNB/<STAKE>"` to your blacklist to avoid issues.
+Accounts having BNB accounts use this to pay for fees - if your first trade happens to be on `BNB`, further trades will consume this position and make the initial BNB order unsellable as the expected amount is not there anymore.
+
+### Binance sites
+
+Binance has been split into 3, and users must use the correct ccxt exchange ID for their exchange, otherwise API keys are not recognized.
+
+* [binance.com](https://www.binance.com/) - International users. Use exchange id: `binance`.
+* [binance.us](https://www.binance.us/) - US based users. Use exchange id: `binanceus`.
+* [binance.je](https://www.binance.je/) - Binance Jersey, trading fiat currencies. Use exchange id: `binanceje`.
+
+## Kraken
+
+!!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
+    Kraken supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses stop-loss-market orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it, however since the resulting order is a stoploss-market order, sell-rates are not guaranteed, which makes this feature less secure than on other exchanges. This limitation is based on kraken's policy [source](https://blog.kraken.com/post/1234/announcement-delisting-pairs-and-temporary-suspension-of-advanced-order-types/) and [source2](https://blog.kraken.com/post/1494/kraken-enables-advanced-orders-and-adds-10-currency-pairs/) - which has stoploss-limit orders disabled.
+
+### Historic Kraken data
+
+The Kraken API does only provide 720 historic candles, which is sufficient for Freqtrade dry-run and live trade modes, but is a problem for backtesting.
+To download data for the Kraken exchange, using `--dl-trades` is mandatory, otherwise the bot will download the same 720 candles over and over, and you'll not have enough backtest data.
+
+## Bittrex
+
+### Order types
+
+Bittrex does not support market orders. If you have a message at the bot startup about this, you should change order type values set in your configuration and/or in the strategy from `"market"` to `"limit"`. See some more details on this [here in the FAQ](faq.md#im-getting-the-exchange-bittrex-does-not-support-market-orders-message-and-cannot-run-my-strategy).
+
+### Restricted markets
+
+Bittrex split its exchange into US and International versions.
+The International version has more pairs available, however the API always returns all pairs, so there is currently no automated way to detect if you're affected by the restriction.
+
+If you have restricted pairs in your whitelist, you'll get a warning message in the log on Freqtrade startup for each restricted pair.
+
+The warning message will look similar to the following:
+
+``` output
+[...] Message: bittrex {"success":false,"message":"RESTRICTED_MARKET","result":null,"explanation":null}"
+```
+
+If you're an "International" customer on the Bittrex exchange, then this warning will probably not impact you.
+If you're a US customer, the bot will fail to create orders for these pairs, and you should remove them from your whitelist.
+
+You can get a list of restricted markets by using the following snippet:
+
+``` python
+import ccxt
+ct = ccxt.bittrex()
+_ = ct.load_markets()
+res = [ f"{x['MarketCurrency']}/{x['BaseCurrency']}" for x in ct.publicGetMarkets()['result'] if x['IsRestricted']]
+print(res)
+```
+
+## Random notes for other exchanges
+
+* The Ocean (exchange id: `theocean`) exchange uses Web3 functionality and requires `web3` python package to be installed:
+```shell
+$ pip3 install web3
+```
+
+### Send incomplete candles to the strategy
+
+Most exchanges return incomplete candles via their ohlcv / klines interface.
+By default, Freqtrade assumes that incomplete candles are returned and removes the last candle assuming it's an incomplete candle.
+
+Whether your exchange returns incomplete candles or not can be checked using [the helper script](developer.md#Incomplete-candles) from the Contributor documentation.
+
+If the exchange does return incomplete candles and you would like to have incomplete candles in your strategy, you can set the following parameter in the configuration file.
+
+``` json
+{
+
+    "exchange": {
+        "_ft_has_params": {"ohlcv_partial_candle": false}
+    }
+}
+```
+
+!!! Warning "Danger of repainting"
+    Changing this parameter makes the strategy responsible to avoid repainting and handle this accordingly. Doing this is therefore not recommended, and should only be performed by experienced users who are fully aware of the impact this setting has.

+# Freqtrade FAQ
+
+## Freqtrade common issues
+
+### The bot does not start
+
+Running the bot with `freqtrade trade --config config.json` does show the output `freqtrade: command not found`.
+
+This could have the following reasons:
+
+* The virtual environment is not active
+  * run `source .env/bin/activate` to activate the virtual environment
+* The installation did not work correctly.
+  * Please check the [Installation documentation](installation.md).
+
+### I have waited 5 minutes, why hasn't the bot made any trades yet?!
+
+Depending on the buy strategy, the amount of whitelisted coins, the
+situation of the market etc, it can take up to hours to find good entry
+position for a trade. Be patient!
+
+### I have made 12 trades already, why is my total profit negative?!
+
+I understand your disappointment but unfortunately 12 trades is just
+not enough to say anything. If you run backtesting, you can see that our
+current algorithm does leave you on the plus side, but that is after
+thousands of trades and even there, you will be left with losses on
+specific coins that you have traded tens if not hundreds of times. We
+of course constantly aim to improve the bot but it will _always_ be a
+gamble, which should leave you with modest wins on monthly basis but
+you can't say much from few trades.
+
+### I’d like to change the stake amount. Can I just stop the bot with /stop and then change the config.json and run it again?
+
+Not quite. Trades are persisted to a database but the configuration is
+currently only read when the bot is killed and restarted. `/stop` more
+like pauses. You can stop your bot, adjust settings and start it again.
+
+### I want to improve the bot with a new strategy
+
+That's great. We have a nice backtesting and hyperoptimization setup. See
+the tutorial [here|Testing-new-strategies-with-Hyperopt](bot-usage.md#hyperopt-commands).
+
+### Is there a setting to only SELL the coins being held and not perform anymore BUYS?
+
+You can use the `/forcesell all` command from Telegram.
+
+### I'm getting the "RESTRICTED_MARKET" message in the log
+
+Currently known to happen for US Bittrex users.  
+
+Read [the Bittrex section about restricted markets](exchanges.md#restricted-markets) for more information.
+
+### I'm getting the "Exchange Bittrex does not support market orders." message and cannot run my strategy
+
+As the message says, Bittrex does not support market orders and you have one of the [order types](configuration.md/#understand-order_types) set to "market". Probably your strategy was written with other exchanges in mind and sets "market" orders for "stoploss" orders, which is correct and preferable for most of the exchanges supporting market orders (but not for Bittrex).
+
+To fix it for Bittrex, redefine order types in the strategy to use "limit" instead of "market":
+
+```
+    order_types = {
+        ...
+        'stoploss': 'limit',
+        ...
+    }
+```
+
+Same fix should be done in the configuration file, if order types are defined in your custom config rather than in the strategy.
+
+### How do I search the bot logs for something?
+
+By default, the bot writes its log into stderr stream. This is implemented this way so that you can easily separate the bot's diagnostics messages from Backtesting, Edge and Hyperopt results, output from other various Freqtrade utility subcommands, as well as from the output of your custom `print()`'s you may have inserted into your strategy. So if you need to search the log messages with the grep utility, you need to redirect stderr to stdout and disregard stdout.
+
+* In unix shells, this normally can be done as simple as:
+```shell
+$ freqtrade --some-options 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep 'something'
+```
+(note, `2>&1` and `>/dev/null` should be written in this order)
+
+* Bash interpreter also supports so called process substitution syntax, you can grep the log for a string with it as:
+```shell
+$ freqtrade --some-options 2> >(grep 'something') >/dev/null
+```
+or
+```shell
+$ freqtrade --some-options 2> >(grep -v 'something' 1>&2)
+```
+
+* You can also write the copy of Freqtrade log messages to a file with the `--logfile` option:
+```shell
+$ freqtrade --logfile /path/to/mylogfile.log --some-options
+```
+and then grep it as:
+```shell
+$ cat /path/to/mylogfile.log | grep 'something'
+```
+or even on the fly, as the bot works and the logfile grows:
+```shell
+$ tail -f /path/to/mylogfile.log | grep 'something'
+```
+from a separate terminal window.
+
+On Windows, the `--logfilename` option is also supported by Freqtrade and you can use the `findstr` command to search the log for the string of interest:
+```
+> type \path\to\mylogfile.log | findstr "something"
+```
+
+## Hyperopt module
+
+### How many epoch do I need to get a good Hyperopt result?
+
+Per default Hyperopt called without the `-e`/`--epochs` command line option will only
+run 100 epochs, means 100 evals of your triggers, guards, ... Too few
+to find a great result (unless if you are very lucky), so you probably
+have to run it for 10.000 or more. But it will take an eternity to
+compute.
+
+We recommend you to run it at least 10.000 epochs:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade hyperopt -e 10000
+```
+
+or if you want intermediate result to see
+
+```bash
+for i in {1..100}; do freqtrade hyperopt -e 100; done
+```
+
+### Why it is so long to run hyperopt?
+
+Finding a great Hyperopt results takes time.
+
+If you wonder why it takes a while to find great hyperopt results
+
+This answer was written during the under the release 0.15.1, when we had:
+
+- 8 triggers
+- 9 guards: let's say we evaluate even 10 values from each
+- 1 stoploss calculation: let's say we want 10 values from that too to be evaluated
+
+The following calculation is still very rough and not very precise
+but it will give the idea. With only these triggers and guards there is
+already 8\*10^9\*10 evaluations. A roughly total of 80 billion evals.
+Did you run 100 000 evals? Congrats, you've done roughly 1 / 100 000 th
+of the search space.
+
+## Edge module
+
+### Edge implements interesting approach for controlling position size, is there any theory behind it?
+
+The Edge module is mostly a result of brainstorming of [@mishaker](https://github.com/mishaker) and [@creslinux](https://github.com/creslinux) freqtrade team members.
+
+You can find further info on expectancy, winrate, risk management and position size in the following sources:

+# Hyperopt
+
+This page explains how to tune your strategy by finding the optimal
+parameters, a process called hyperparameter optimization. The bot uses several
+algorithms included in the `scikit-optimize` package to accomplish this. The
+search will burn all your CPU cores, make your laptop sound like a fighter jet
+and still take a long time.
+
+In general, the search for best parameters starts with a few random combinations and then uses Bayesian search with a
+ML regressor algorithm (currently ExtraTreesRegressor) to quickly find a combination of parameters in the search hyperspace
+that minimizes the value of the [loss function](#loss-functions).
+
+Hyperopt requires historic data to be available, just as backtesting does.
+To learn how to get data for the pairs and exchange you're interested in, head over to the [Data Downloading](data-download.md) section of the documentation.
+
+!!! Bug
+    Hyperopt can crash when used with only 1 CPU Core as found out in [Issue #1133](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/issues/1133)
+
+## Prepare Hyperopting
+
+Before we start digging into Hyperopt, we recommend you to take a look at
+the sample hyperopt file located in [user_data/hyperopts/](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/templates/sample_hyperopt.py).
+
+Configuring hyperopt is similar to writing your own strategy, and many tasks will be similar and a lot of code can be copied across from the strategy.
+
+The simplest way to get started is to use `freqtrade new-hyperopt --hyperopt AwesomeHyperopt`.
+This will create a new hyperopt file from a template, which will be located under `user_data/hyperopts/AwesomeHyperopt.py`.
+
+### Checklist on all tasks / possibilities in hyperopt
+
+Depending on the space you want to optimize, only some of the below are required:
+
+* fill `buy_strategy_generator` - for buy signal optimization
+* fill `indicator_space` - for buy signal optimzation
+* fill `sell_strategy_generator` - for sell signal optimization
+* fill `sell_indicator_space` - for sell signal optimzation
+
+!!! Note
+    `populate_indicators` needs to create all indicators any of thee spaces may use, otherwise hyperopt will not work.
+
+Optional - can also be loaded from a strategy:
+
+* copy `populate_indicators` from your strategy - otherwise default-strategy will be used
+* copy `populate_buy_trend` from your strategy - otherwise default-strategy will be used
+* copy `populate_sell_trend` from your strategy - otherwise default-strategy will be used
+
+!!! Note
+    Assuming the optional methods are not in your hyperopt file, please use `--strategy AweSomeStrategy` which contains these methods so hyperopt can use these methods instead.
+
+Rarely you may also need to override:
+
+* `roi_space` - for custom ROI optimization (if you need the ranges for the ROI parameters in the optimization hyperspace that differ from default)
+* `generate_roi_table` - for custom ROI optimization (if you need the ranges for the values in the ROI table that differ from default or the number of entries (steps) in the ROI table which differs from the default 4 steps)
+* `stoploss_space` - for custom stoploss optimization (if you need the range for the stoploss parameter in the optimization hyperspace that differs from default)
+* `trailing_space` - for custom trailing stop optimization (if you need the ranges for the trailing stop parameters in the optimization hyperspace that differ from default)
+
+!!! Tip "Quickly optimize ROI, stoploss and trailing stoploss"
+    You can quickly optimize the spaces `roi`, `stoploss` and `trailing` without changing anything (i.e. without creation of a "complete" Hyperopt class with dimensions, parameters, triggers and guards, as described in this document) from the default hyperopt template by relying on your strategy to do most of the calculations.
+
+    ```python
+    # Have a working strategy at hand.
+    freqtrade new-hyperopt --hyperopt EmptyHyperopt
+
+    freqtrade hyperopt --hyperopt EmptyHyperopt --spaces roi stoploss trailing --strategy MyWorkingStrategy --config config.json -e 100
+    ```
+
+### 1. Install a Custom Hyperopt File
+
+Put your hyperopt file into the directory `user_data/hyperopts`.
+
+Let assume you want a hyperopt file `awesome_hyperopt.py`:  
+Copy the file `user_data/hyperopts/sample_hyperopt.py` into `user_data/hyperopts/awesome_hyperopt.py`
+
+### 2. Configure your Guards and Triggers
+
+There are two places you need to change in your hyperopt file to add a new buy hyperopt for testing:
+
+* Inside `indicator_space()` - the parameters hyperopt shall be optimizing.
+* Inside `populate_buy_trend()` - applying the parameters.
+
+There you have two different types of indicators: 1. `guards` and 2. `triggers`.
+
+1. Guards are conditions like "never buy if ADX < 10", or never buy if current price is over EMA10.
+2. Triggers are ones that actually trigger buy in specific moment, like "buy when EMA5 crosses over EMA10" or "buy when close price touches lower bollinger band".
+
+Hyperoptimization will, for each eval round, pick one trigger and possibly
+multiple guards. The constructed strategy will be something like
+"*buy exactly when close price touches lower bollinger band, BUT only if
+ADX > 10*".
+
+If you have updated the buy strategy, i.e. changed the contents of
+`populate_buy_trend()` method, you have to update the `guards` and
+`triggers` your hyperopt must use correspondingly.
+
+#### Sell optimization
+
+Similar to the buy-signal above, sell-signals can also be optimized.
+Place the corresponding settings into the following methods
+
+* Inside `sell_indicator_space()` - the parameters hyperopt shall be optimizing.
+* Inside `populate_sell_trend()` - applying the parameters.
+
+The configuration and rules are the same than for buy signals.
+To avoid naming collisions in the search-space, please prefix all sell-spaces with `sell-`.
+
+#### Using ticker-interval as part of the Strategy
+
+The Strategy exposes the ticker-interval as `self.ticker_interval`. The same value is available as class-attribute `HyperoptName.ticker_interval`.
+In the case of the linked sample-value this would be `SampleHyperOpt.ticker_interval`.
+
+## Solving a Mystery
+
+Let's say you are curious: should you use MACD crossings or lower Bollinger
+Bands to trigger your buys. And you also wonder should you use RSI or ADX to
+help with those buy decisions. If you decide to use RSI or ADX, which values
+should I use for them? So let's use hyperparameter optimization to solve this
+mystery.
+
+We will start by defining a search space:
+
+```python
+    def indicator_space() -> List[Dimension]:
+        """
+        Define your Hyperopt space for searching strategy parameters
+        """
+        return [
+            Integer(20, 40, name='adx-value'),
+            Integer(20, 40, name='rsi-value'),
+            Categorical([True, False], name='adx-enabled'),
+            Categorical([True, False], name='rsi-enabled'),
+            Categorical(['bb_lower', 'macd_cross_signal'], name='trigger')
+        ]
+```
+
+Above definition says: I have five parameters I want you to randomly combine
+to find the best combination. Two of them are integer values (`adx-value`
+and `rsi-value`) and I want you test in the range of values 20 to 40.
+Then we have three category variables. First two are either `True` or `False`.
+We use these to either enable or disable the ADX and RSI guards. The last
+one we call `trigger` and use it to decide which buy trigger we want to use.
+
+So let's write the buy strategy using these values:
+
+```python
+        def populate_buy_trend(dataframe: DataFrame) -> DataFrame:
+            conditions = []
+            # GUARDS AND TRENDS
+            if 'adx-enabled' in params and params['adx-enabled']:
+                conditions.append(dataframe['adx'] > params['adx-value'])
+            if 'rsi-enabled' in params and params['rsi-enabled']:
+                conditions.append(dataframe['rsi'] < params['rsi-value'])
+
+            # TRIGGERS
+            if 'trigger' in params:
+                if params['trigger'] == 'bb_lower':
+                    conditions.append(dataframe['close'] < dataframe['bb_lowerband'])
+                if params['trigger'] == 'macd_cross_signal':
+                    conditions.append(qtpylib.crossed_above(
+                        dataframe['macd'], dataframe['macdsignal']
+                    ))
+
+            if conditions:
+                dataframe.loc[
+                    reduce(lambda x, y: x & y, conditions),
+                    'buy'] = 1
+
+            return dataframe
+
+        return populate_buy_trend
+```
+
+Hyperopting will now call this `populate_buy_trend` as many times you ask it (`epochs`)
+with different value combinations. It will then use the given historical data and make
+buys based on the buy signals generated with the above function and based on the results
+it will end with telling you which paramter combination produced the best profits.
+
+The above setup expects to find ADX, RSI and Bollinger Bands in the populated indicators.
+When you want to test an indicator that isn't used by the bot currently, remember to
+add it to the `populate_indicators()` method in your custom hyperopt file.
+
+## Loss-functions
+
+Each hyperparameter tuning requires a target. This is usually defined as a loss function (sometimes also called objective function), which should decrease for more desirable results, and increase for bad results.
+
+By default, Freqtrade uses a loss function, which has been with freqtrade since the beginning and optimizes mostly for short trade duration and avoiding losses.
+
+A different loss function can be specified by using the `--hyperopt-loss <Class-name>` argument.
+This class should be in its own file within the `user_data/hyperopts/` directory.
+
+Currently, the following loss functions are builtin:
+
+* `DefaultHyperOptLoss` (default legacy Freqtrade hyperoptimization loss function)
+* `OnlyProfitHyperOptLoss` (which takes only amount of profit into consideration)
+* `SharpeHyperOptLoss` (optimizes Sharpe Ratio calculated on the trade returns)
+* `SharpeHyperOptLossDaily` (optimizes Sharpe Ratio calculated on daily trade returns)
+
+Creation of a custom loss function is covered in the [Advanced Hyperopt](advanced-hyperopt.md) part of the documentation.
+
+## Execute Hyperopt
+
+Once you have updated your hyperopt configuration you can run it.
+Because hyperopt tries a lot of combinations to find the best parameters it will take time to get a good result. More time usually results in better results.
+
+We strongly recommend to use `screen` or `tmux` to prevent any connection loss.
+
+```bash
+freqtrade hyperopt --config config.json --hyperopt <hyperoptname> -e 5000 --spaces all
+```
+
+Use `<hyperoptname>` as the name of the custom hyperopt used.
+
+The `-e` option will set how many evaluations hyperopt will do. We recommend
+running at least several thousand evaluations.
+
+The `--spaces all` option determines that all possible parameters should be optimized. Possibilities are listed below.
+
+!!! Note
+    By default, hyperopt will erase previous results and start from scratch. Continuation can be archived by using `--continue`.
+
+!!! Warning
+    When switching parameters or changing configuration options, make sure to not use the argument `--continue` so temporary results can be removed.
+
+### Execute Hyperopt with Different Ticker-Data Source
+
+If you would like to hyperopt parameters using an alternate ticker data that
+you have on-disk, use the `--datadir PATH` option. Default hyperopt will
+use data from directory `user_data/data`.
+
+### Running Hyperopt with Smaller Testset
+
+Use the `--timerange` argument to change how much of the testset you want to use.
+For example, to use one month of data, pass the following parameter to the hyperopt call:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade hyperopt --timerange 20180401-20180501
+```
+
+### Running Hyperopt using methods from a strategy
+
+Hyperopt can reuse `populate_indicators`, `populate_buy_trend`, `populate_sell_trend` from your strategy, assuming these methods are **not** in your custom hyperopt file, and a strategy is provided.
+
+```bash
+freqtrade hyperopt --strategy SampleStrategy --customhyperopt SampleHyperopt
+```
+
+### Running Hyperopt with Smaller Search Space
+
+Use the `--spaces` option to limit the search space used by hyperopt.
+Letting Hyperopt optimize everything is a huuuuge search space. Often it
+might make more sense to start by just searching for initial buy algorithm.
+Or maybe you just want to optimize your stoploss or roi table for that awesome
+new buy strategy you have.
+
+Legal values are:
+
+* `all`: optimize everything
+* `buy`: just search for a new buy strategy
+* `sell`: just search for a new sell strategy
+* `roi`: just optimize the minimal profit table for your strategy
+* `stoploss`: search for the best stoploss value
+* `trailing`: search for the best trailing stop values
+* `default`: `all` except `trailing`
+* space-separated list of any of the above values for example `--spaces roi stoploss`
+
+The default Hyperopt Search Space, used when no `--space` command line option is specified, does not include the `trailing` hyperspace. We recommend you to run optimization for the `trailing` hyperspace separately, when the best parameters for other hyperspaces were found, validated and pasted into your custom strategy.
+
+### Position stacking and disabling max market positions
+
+In some situations, you may need to run Hyperopt (and Backtesting) with the
+`--eps`/`--enable-position-staking` and `--dmmp`/`--disable-max-market-positions` arguments.
+
+By default, hyperopt emulates the behavior of the Freqtrade Live Run/Dry Run, where only one
+open trade is allowed for every traded pair. The total number of trades open for all pairs
+is also limited by the `max_open_trades` setting. During Hyperopt/Backtesting this may lead to
+some potential trades to be hidden (or masked) by previosly open trades.
+
+The `--eps`/`--enable-position-stacking` argument allows emulation of buying the same pair multiple times,
+while `--dmmp`/`--disable-max-market-positions` disables applying `max_open_trades`
+during Hyperopt/Backtesting (which is equal to setting `max_open_trades` to a very high
+number).
+
+!!! Note
+    Dry/live runs will **NOT** use position stacking - therefore it does make sense to also validate the strategy without this as it's closer to reality.
+
+You can also enable position stacking in the configuration file by explicitly setting
+`"position_stacking"=true`.
+
+### Reproducible results
+
+The search for optimal parameters starts with a few (currently 30) random combinations in the hyperspace of parameters, random Hyperopt epochs. These random epochs are marked with a leading asterisk sign at the Hyperopt output.
+
+The initial state for generation of these random values (random state) is controlled by the value of the `--random-state` command line option. You can set it to some arbitrary value of your choice to obtain reproducible results.
+
+If you have not set this value explicitly in the command line options, Hyperopt seeds the random state with some random value for you. The random state value for each Hyperopt run is shown in the log, so you can copy and paste it into the `--random-state` command line option to repeat the set of the initial random epochs used.
+
+If you have not changed anything in the command line options, configuration, timerange, Strategy and Hyperopt classes, historical data and the Loss Function -- you should obtain same hyperoptimization results with same random state value used.
+
+## Understand the Hyperopt Result
+
+Once Hyperopt is completed you can use the result to create a new strategy.
+Given the following result from hyperopt:
+
+```
+Best result:
+
+    44/100:    135 trades. Avg profit  0.57%. Total profit  0.03871918 BTC (0.7722Σ%). Avg duration 180.4 mins. Objective: 1.94367
+
+Buy hyperspace params:
+{    'adx-value': 44,
+     'rsi-value': 29,
+     'adx-enabled': False,
+     'rsi-enabled': True,
+     'trigger': 'bb_lower'}
+```
+
+You should understand this result like:
+
+- The buy trigger that worked best was `bb_lower`.
+- You should not use ADX because `adx-enabled: False`)
+- You should **consider** using the RSI indicator (`rsi-enabled: True` and the best value is `29.0` (`rsi-value: 29.0`)
+
+You have to look inside your strategy file into `buy_strategy_generator()`
+method, what those values match to.
+
+So for example you had `rsi-value: 29.0` so we would look at `rsi`-block, that translates to the following code block:
+
+```python
+(dataframe['rsi'] < 29.0)
+```
+
+Translating your whole hyperopt result as the new buy-signal would then look like:
+
+```python
+def populate_buy_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (dataframe['rsi'] < 29.0) &  # rsi-value
+            dataframe['close'] < dataframe['bb_lowerband']  # trigger
+        ),
+        'buy'] = 1
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+By default, hyperopt prints colorized results -- epochs with positive profit are printed in the green color. This highlighting helps you find epochs that can be interesting for later analysis. Epochs with zero total profit or with negative profits (losses) are printed in the normal color. If you do not need colorization of results (for instance, when you are redirecting hyperopt output to a file) you can switch colorization off by specifying the `--no-color` option in the command line.
+
+You can use the `--print-all` command line option if you would like to see all results in the hyperopt output, not only the best ones. When `--print-all` is used, current best results are also colorized by default -- they are printed in bold (bright) style. This can also be switched off with the `--no-color` command line option.
+
+### Understand Hyperopt ROI results
+
+If you are optimizing ROI (i.e. if optimization search-space contains 'all', 'default' or 'roi'), your result will look as follows and include a ROI table:
+
+```
+Best result:
+
+    44/100:    135 trades. Avg profit  0.57%. Total profit  0.03871918 BTC (0.7722Σ%). Avg duration 180.4 mins. Objective: 1.94367
+
+ROI table:
+{   0: 0.10674,
+    21: 0.09158,
+    78: 0.03634,
+    118: 0}
+```
+
+In order to use this best ROI table found by Hyperopt in backtesting and for live trades/dry-run, copy-paste it as the value of the `minimal_roi` attribute of your custom strategy:
+
+```
+    # Minimal ROI designed for the strategy.
+    # This attribute will be overridden if the config file contains "minimal_roi"
+    minimal_roi = {
+        0: 0.10674,
+        21: 0.09158,
+        78: 0.03634,
+        118: 0
+    }
+```
+
+As stated in the comment, you can also use it as the value of the `minimal_roi` setting in the configuration file.
+
+#### Default ROI Search Space
+
+If you are optimizing ROI, Freqtrade creates the 'roi' optimization hyperspace for you -- it's the hyperspace of components for the ROI tables. By default, each ROI table generated by the Freqtrade consists of 4 rows (steps). Hyperopt implements adaptive ranges for ROI tables with ranges for values in the ROI steps that depend on the ticker_interval used. By default the values vary in the following ranges (for some of the most used ticker intervals, values are rounded to 5 digits after the decimal point):
+
+| # step | 1m     |                   | 5m       |             | 1h         |                   | 1d           |                   |
+| ------ | ------ | ----------------- | -------- | ----------- | ---------- | ----------------- | ------------ | ----------------- |
+| 1      | 0      | 0.01161...0.11992 | 0        | 0.03...0.31 | 0          | 0.06883...0.71124 | 0            | 0.12178...1.25835 |
+| 2      | 2...8  | 0.00774...0.04255 | 10...40  | 0.02...0.11 | 120...480  | 0.04589...0.25238 | 2880...11520 | 0.08118...0.44651 |
+| 3      | 4...20 | 0.00387...0.01547 | 20...100 | 0.01...0.04 | 240...1200 | 0.02294...0.09177 | 5760...28800 | 0.04059...0.16237 |
+| 4      | 6...44 | 0.0               | 30...220 | 0.0         | 360...2640 | 0.0               | 8640...63360 | 0.0               |
+
+These ranges should be sufficient in most cases. The minutes in the steps (ROI dict keys) are scaled linearly depending on the ticker interval used. The ROI values in the steps (ROI dict values) are scaled logarithmically depending on the ticker interval used.
+
+If you have the `generate_roi_table()` and `roi_space()` methods in your custom hyperopt file, remove them in order to utilize these adaptive ROI tables and the ROI hyperoptimization space generated by Freqtrade by default.
+
+Override the `roi_space()` method if you need components of the ROI tables to vary in other ranges. Override the `generate_roi_table()` and `roi_space()` methods and implement your own custom approach for generation of the ROI tables during hyperoptimization if you need a different structure of the ROI tables or other amount of rows (steps). A sample for these methods can be found in [user_data/hyperopts/sample_hyperopt_advanced.py](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/templates/sample_hyperopt_advanced.py).
+
+### Understand Hyperopt Stoploss results
+
+If you are optimizing stoploss values (i.e. if optimization search-space contains 'all', 'default' or 'stoploss'), your result will look as follows and include stoploss:
+
+```
+Best result:
+
+    44/100:    135 trades. Avg profit  0.57%. Total profit  0.03871918 BTC (0.7722Σ%). Avg duration 180.4 mins. Objective: 1.94367
+
+Buy hyperspace params:
+{   'adx-value': 44,
+    'rsi-value': 29,
+    'adx-enabled': False,
+    'rsi-enabled': True,
+    'trigger': 'bb_lower'}
+Stoploss: -0.27996
+```
+
+In order to use this best stoploss value found by Hyperopt in backtesting and for live trades/dry-run, copy-paste it as the value of the `stoploss` attribute of your custom strategy:
+
+```
+    # Optimal stoploss designed for the strategy
+    # This attribute will be overridden if the config file contains "stoploss"
+    stoploss = -0.27996
+```
+
+As stated in the comment, you can also use it as the value of the `stoploss` setting in the configuration file.
+
+#### Default Stoploss Search Space
+
+If you are optimizing stoploss values, Freqtrade creates the 'stoploss' optimization hyperspace for you. By default, the stoploss values in that hyperspace vary in the range -0.35...-0.02, which is sufficient in most cases.
+
+If you have the `stoploss_space()` method in your custom hyperopt file, remove it in order to utilize Stoploss hyperoptimization space generated by Freqtrade by default.
+
+Override the `stoploss_space()` method and define the desired range in it if you need stoploss values to vary in other range during hyperoptimization. A sample for this method can be found in [user_data/hyperopts/sample_hyperopt_advanced.py](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/templates/sample_hyperopt_advanced.py).
+
+### Understand Hyperopt Trailing Stop results
+
+If you are optimizing trailing stop values (i.e. if optimization search-space contains 'all' or 'trailing'), your result will look as follows and include trailing stop parameters:
+
+```
+Best result:
+
+    45/100:    606 trades. Avg profit  1.04%. Total profit  0.31555614 BTC ( 630.48Σ%). Avg duration 150.3 mins. Objective: -1.10161
+
+Trailing stop:
+{   'trailing_only_offset_is_reached': True,
+    'trailing_stop': True,
+    'trailing_stop_positive': 0.02001,
+    'trailing_stop_positive_offset': 0.06038}
+```
+
+In order to use these best trailing stop parameters found by Hyperopt in backtesting and for live trades/dry-run, copy-paste them as the values of the corresponding attributes of your custom strategy:
+
+```
+    # Trailing stop
+    # These attributes will be overridden if the config file contains corresponding values.
+    trailing_stop = True
+    trailing_stop_positive = 0.02001
+    trailing_stop_positive_offset = 0.06038
+    trailing_only_offset_is_reached = True
+```
+
+As stated in the comment, you can also use it as the values of the corresponding settings in the configuration file.
+
+#### Default Trailing Stop Search Space
+
+If you are optimizing trailing stop values, Freqtrade creates the 'trailing' optimization hyperspace for you. By default, the `trailing_stop` parameter is always set to True in that hyperspace, the value of the `trailing_only_offset_is_reached` vary between True and False, the values of the `trailing_stop_positive` and `trailing_stop_positive_offset` parameters vary in the ranges 0.02...0.35 and 0.01...0.1 correspondingly, which is sufficient in most cases.
+
+Override the `trailing_space()` method and define the desired range in it if you need values of the trailing stop parameters to vary in other ranges during hyperoptimization. A sample for this method can be found in [user_data/hyperopts/sample_hyperopt_advanced.py](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/user_data/hyperopts/sample_hyperopt_advanced.py).
+
+## Show details of Hyperopt results
+
+After you run Hyperopt for the desired amount of epochs, you can later list all results for analysis, select only best or profitable once, and show the details for any of the epochs previously evaluated. This can be done with the `hyperopt-list` and `hyperopt-show` subcommands. The usage of these subcommands is described in the [Utils](utils.md#list-hyperopt-results) chapter.
+
+## Validate backtesting results
+
+Once the optimized strategy has been implemented into your strategy, you should backtest this strategy to make sure everything is working as expected.
+
+To achieve same results (number of trades, their durations, profit, etc.) than during Hyperopt, please use same set of arguments `--dmmp`/`--disable-max-market-positions` and `--eps`/`--enable-position-stacking` for Backtesting.
+
+## Next Step
+
+Now you have a perfect bot and want to control it from Telegram. Your
+next step is to learn the [Telegram usage](telegram-usage.md).

+## Introduction
+
+Freqtrade is a crypto-currency algorithmic trading software developed in python (3.6+) and supported on Windows, macOS and Linux.
+
+!!! Danger "DISCLAIMER"
+    This software is for educational purposes only. Do not risk money which you are afraid to lose. USE THE SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE AUTHORS AND ALL AFFILIATES ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR TRADING RESULTS.
+
+    Always start by running a trading bot in Dry-run and do not engage money before you understand how it works and what profit/loss you should expect.
+
+    We strongly recommend you to have basic coding skills and Python knowledge. Do not hesitate to read the source code and understand the mechanisms of this bot, algorithms and techniques implemented in it.
+
+## Features
+
+- Develop your Strategy: Write your strategy in python, using [pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/). Example strategies to inspire you are available in the [strategy repository](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade-strategies).
+- Download market data: Download historical data of the exchange and the markets your may want to trade with.
+- Backtest: Test your strategy on downloaded historical data.
+- Optimize: Find the best parameters for your strategy using hyperoptimization which employs machining learning methods. You can optimize buy, sell, take profit (ROI), stop-loss and trailing stop-loss parameters for your strategy.
+- Select markets: Create your static list or use an automatic one based on top traded volumes and/or prices (not available during backtesting). You can also explicitly blacklist markets you don't want to trade.
+- Run: Test your strategy with simulated money (Dry-Run mode) or deploy it with real money (Live-Trade mode).
+- Run using Edge (optional module): The concept is to find the best historical [trade expectancy](edge.md#expectancy) by markets based on variation of the stop-loss and then allow/reject markets to trade. The sizing of the trade is based on a risk of a percentage of your capital.
+- Control/Monitor: Use Telegram or a REST API (start/stop the bot, show profit/loss, daily summary, current open trades results, etc.).
+- Analyse: Further analysis can be performed on either Backtesting data or Freqtrade trading history (SQL database), including automated standard plots, and methods to load the data into [interactive environments](data-analysis.md).
+

+# Installation
+
+This page explains how to prepare your environment for running the bot.
+
+Please consider using the prebuilt [docker images](docker.md) to get started quickly while trying out freqtrade evaluating how it operates.
+
+## Prerequisite
+
+### Requirements
+
+Click each one for install guide:
+
+* [Python >= 3.6.x](http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/installation/)
+* [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/)
+* [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)
+* [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/) (Recommended)
+* [TA-Lib](https://mrjbq7.github.io/ta-lib/install.html) (install instructions below)
+
+ We also recommend a [Telegram bot](telegram-usage.md#setup-your-telegram-bot), which is optional but recommended.
+
+## Quick start
+
+Freqtrade provides the Linux/MacOS Easy Installation script to install all dependencies and help you configure the bot.
+
+!!! Note
+    Windows installation is explained [here](#windows).
+
+The easiest way to install and run Freqtrade is to clone the bot Github repository and then run the Easy Installation script, if it's available for your platform.
+
+!!! Note "Version considerations"
+    When cloning the repository the default working branch has the name `develop`. This branch contains all last features (can be considered as relatively stable, thanks to automated tests). The `master` branch contains the code of the last release (done usually once per month on an approximately one week old snapshot of the `develop` branch to prevent packaging bugs, so potentially it's more stable).
+
+!!! Note
+    Python3.6 or higher and the corresponding `pip` are assumed to be available. The install-script will warn you and stop if that's not the case. `git` is also needed to clone the Freqtrade repository.
+
+This can be achieved with the following commands:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
+cd freqtrade
+git checkout master  # Optional, see (1)
+./setup.sh --install
+```
+
+(1) This command switches the cloned repository to the use of the `master` branch. It's not needed if you wish to stay on the `develop` branch. You may later switch between branches at any time with the `git checkout master`/`git checkout develop` commands.
+
+## Easy Installation Script (Linux/MacOS)
+
+If you are on Debian, Ubuntu or MacOS Freqtrade provides the script to install, update, configure and reset the codebase of your bot.
+
+```bash
+$ ./setup.sh
+usage:
+	-i,--install    Install freqtrade from scratch
+	-u,--update     Command git pull to update.
+	-r,--reset      Hard reset your develop/master branch.
+	-c,--config     Easy config generator (Will override your existing file).
+```
+
+** --install **
+
+With this option, the script will install the bot and most dependencies:
+You will need to have git and python3.6+ installed beforehand for this to work.
+
+* Mandatory software as: `ta-lib`
+* Setup your virtualenv under `.env/`
+
+This option is a combination of installation tasks, `--reset` and `--config`.
+
+** --update **
+
+This option will pull the last version of your current branch and update your virtualenv. Run the script with this option periodically to update your bot.
+
+** --reset **
+
+This option will hard reset your branch (only if you are on either `master` or `develop`) and recreate your virtualenv.
+
+** --config **
+
+DEPRECATED - use `freqtrade new-config -c config.json` instead.

+
+## Custom Installation
+
+We've included/collected install instructions for Ubuntu 16.04, MacOS, and Windows. These are guidelines and your success may vary with other distros.
+OS Specific steps are listed first, the [Common](#common) section below is necessary for all systems.
+
+!!! Note
+    Python3.6 or higher and the corresponding pip are assumed to be available.
+
+### Linux - Ubuntu 16.04
+
+#### Install necessary dependencies
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install build-essential git
+```
+
+### Raspberry Pi / Raspbian
+
+The following assumes the latest [Raspbian Buster lite image](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/) from at least September 2019.
+This image comes with python3.7 preinstalled, making it easy to get freqtrade up and running.
+
+Tested using a Raspberry Pi 3 with the Raspbian Buster lite image, all updates applied.
+
+``` bash
+sudo apt-get install python3-venv libatlas-base-dev
+git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
+cd freqtrade
+
+bash setup.sh -i
+```
+
+!!! Note "Installation duration"
+    Depending on your internet speed and the Raspberry Pi version, installation can take multiple hours to complete.
+
+!!! Note
+    The above does not install hyperopt dependencies. To install these, please use `python3 -m pip install -e .[hyperopt]`.
+    We do not advise to run hyperopt on a Raspberry Pi, since this is a very resource-heavy operation, which should be done on powerful machine.
+
+### Common
+
+#### 1. Install TA-Lib
+
+Use the provided ta-lib installation script
+
+```bash
+sudo ./build_helpers/install_ta-lib.sh
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    This will use the ta-lib tar.gz included in this repository.
+
+##### TA-Lib manual installation
+
+Official webpage: https://mrjbq7.github.io/ta-lib/install.html
+
+```bash
+wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
+tar xvzf ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
+cd ta-lib
+sed -i.bak "s|0.00000001|0.000000000000000001 |g" src/ta_func/ta_utility.h
+./configure --prefix=/usr/local
+make
+sudo make install
+cd ..
+rm -rf ./ta-lib*
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    An already downloaded version of ta-lib is included in the repository, as the sourceforge.net source seems to have problems frequently.
+
+#### 2. Setup your Python virtual environment (virtualenv)
+
+!!! Note
+    This step is optional but strongly recommended to keep your system organized
+
+```bash
+python3 -m venv .env
+source .env/bin/activate
+```
+
+#### 3. Install Freqtrade
+
+Clone the git repository:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
+cd freqtrade
+```
+
+Optionally checkout the master branch to get the latest stable release:
+
+```bash
+git checkout master
+```
+
+#### 4. Install python dependencies
+
+``` bash
+python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
+python3 -m pip install -e .
+```
+
+#### 5. Initialize the configuration
+
+```bash
+# Initialize the user_directory
+freqtrade create-userdir --userdir user_data/
+
+# Create a new configuration file
+freqtrade new-config --config config.json
+```
+
+> *To edit the config please refer to [Bot Configuration](configuration.md).*
+
+#### 6. Run the Bot
+
+If this is the first time you run the bot, ensure you are running it in Dry-run `"dry_run": true,` otherwise it will start to buy and sell coins.
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade -c config.json
+```
+
+*Note*: If you run the bot on a server, you should consider using [Docker](docker.md) or a terminal multiplexer like `screen` or [`tmux`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tmux) to avoid that the bot is stopped on logout.
+
+#### 7. (Optional) Post-installation Tasks
+
+On Linux, as an optional post-installation task, you may wish to setup the bot to run as a `systemd` service or configure it to send the log messages to the `syslog`/`rsyslog` or `journald` daemons. See [Advanced Logging](advanced-setup.md#advanced-logging) for details.
+
+------
+
+## Using Conda
+
+Freqtrade can also be installed using Anaconda (or Miniconda).
+
+``` bash
+conda env create -f environment.yml
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    This requires the [ta-lib](#1-install-ta-lib) C-library to be installed first.
+
+## Windows
+
+We recommend that Windows users use [Docker](docker.md) as this will work much easier and smoother (also more secure).
+
+If that is not possible, try using the Windows Linux subsystem (WSL) - for which the Ubuntu instructions should work.
+If that is not available on your system, feel free to try the instructions below, which led to success for some.
+
+### Install freqtrade manually
+
+!!! Note
+    Make sure to use 64bit Windows and 64bit Python to avoid problems with backtesting or hyperopt due to the memory constraints 32bit applications have under Windows.
+
+!!! Hint
+    Using the [Anaconda Distribution](https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/) under Windows can greatly help with installation problems. Check out the [Conda section](#using-conda) in this document for more information.
+
+#### Clone the git repository
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
+```
+
+#### Install ta-lib
+
+Install ta-lib according to the [ta-lib documentation](https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib#windows).
+
+As compiling from source on windows has heavy dependencies (requires a partial visual studio installation), there is also a repository of unofficial precompiled windows Wheels [here](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib), which needs to be downloaded and installed using `pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.17‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl` (make sure to use the version matching your python version)
+
+```cmd
+>cd \path\freqtrade-develop
+>python -m venv .env
+>.env\Scripts\activate.bat
+REM optionally install ta-lib from wheel
+REM >pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.17‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl
+>pip install -r requirements.txt
+>pip install -e .
+>freqtrade
+```
+
+> Thanks [Owdr](https://github.com/Owdr) for the commands. Source: [Issue #222](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/issues/222)
+
+#### Error during installation under Windows
+
+``` bash
+error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
+```
+
+Unfortunately, many packages requiring compilation don't provide a pre-build wheel. It is therefore mandatory to have a C/C++ compiler installed and available for your python environment to use.
+
+The easiest way is to download install Microsoft Visual Studio Community [here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) and make sure to install "Common Tools for Visual C++" to enable building c code on Windows. Unfortunately, this is a heavy download / dependency (~4Gb) so you might want to consider WSL or [docker](docker.md) first.
+
+---
+
+Now you have an environment ready, the next step is
+[Bot Configuration](configuration.md).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### MacOS installation error
+
+Newer versions of MacOS may have installation failed with errors like `error: command 'g++' failed with exit status 1`.
+
+This error will require explicit installation of the SDK Headers, which are not installed by default in this version of MacOS.
+For MacOS 10.14, this can be accomplished with the below command.
+
+``` bash
+open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
+```
+
+If this file is inexistant, then you're probably on a different version of MacOS, so you may need to consult the internet for specific resolution details.

+# 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`
+
+![plot-dataframe](assets/plot-dataframe.png)
+
+Possible arguments:
+
+```
+usage: freqtrade plot-dataframe [-h] [-v] [--logfile FILE] [-V] [-c PATH] [-d PATH] [--userdir PATH] [-s NAME]
+                                [--strategy-path PATH] [-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]
+                                [-i TICKER_INTERVAL]
+
+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:///tradesv3.dryrun.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. 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.
+  -i TICKER_INTERVAL, --ticker-interval TICKER_INTERVAL
+                        Specify ticker interval (`1m`, `5m`, `30m`, `1h`, `1d`).
+
+Common arguments:
+  -v, --verbose         Verbose mode (-vv for more, -vvv to get all messages).
+  --logfile FILE        Log to the file specified. Special values are: 'syslog', 'journald'. See the documentation for more
+                        details.
+  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
+  -c PATH, --config PATH
+                        Specify configuration file (default: `config.json`). Multiple --config options may be used. Can be set to
+                        `-` to read config from stdin.
+  -d PATH, --datadir PATH
+                        Path to directory with historical backtesting data.
+  --userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH
+                        Path to userdata directory.
+
+Strategy arguments:
+  -s NAME, --strategy NAME
+                        Specify strategy class name which will be used by the bot.
+  --strategy-path PATH  Specify additional strategy lookup path.
+
+```
+
+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 plot-dataframe --strategy AwesomeStrategy -p BTC/ETH --indicators1 sma ema --indicators2 macd
+```
+
+### Further usage examples
+
+To plot multiple pairs, separate them with a space:
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade plot-dataframe --strategy AwesomeStrategy -p BTC/ETH XRP/ETH
+```
+
+To plot a timerange (to zoom in)
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade plot-dataframe --strategy AwesomeStrategy -p BTC/ETH --timerange=20180801-20180805
+```
+
+To plot trades stored in a database use `--db-url` in combination with `--trade-source DB`:
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade plot-dataframe --strategy AwesomeStrategy --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 plot-dataframe --strategy AwesomeStrategy --export-filename user_data/backtest_results/backtest-result.json -p BTC/ETH
+```
+
+### Plot dataframe basics
+
+![plot-dataframe2](assets/plot-dataframe2.png)
+
+The `plot-dataframe` subcommand requires backtesting data, a strategy and either a backtesting-results file or a database, containing trades corresponding to the strategy.
+
+The resulting plot will have the following elements:
+
+* Green triangles: Buy signals from the strategy. (Note: not every buy signal generates a trade, compare to cyan circles.)
+* Red triangles: Sell signals from the strategy. (Also, not every sell signal terminates a trade, compare to red and green squares.)
+* Cyan circles: Trade entry points.
+* Red squares: Trade exit points for trades with loss or 0% profit.
+* Green squares: Trade exit points for profitable trades.
+* Indicators with values corresponding to the candle scale (e.g. SMA/EMA), as specified with `--indicators1`.
+* Volume (bar chart at the bottom of the main chart).
+* Indicators with values in different scales (e.g. MACD, RSI) below the volume bars, as specified with `--indicators2`.
+
+!!! Note "Bollinger Bands"
+    Bollinger bands are automatically added to the plot if the columns `bb_lowerband` and `bb_upperband` exist, and are painted as a light blue area spanning from the lower band to the upper band.
+
+#### Advanced plot configuration
+
+An advanced plot configuration can be specified in the strategy in the `plot_config` parameter.
+
+Additional features when using plot_config include:
+
+* Specify colors per indicator
+* Specify additional subplots
+
+The sample plot configuration below specifies fixed colors for the indicators. Otherwise consecutive plots may produce different colorschemes each time, making comparisons difficult.
+It also allows multiple subplots to display both MACD and RSI at the same time.
+
+Sample configuration with inline comments explaining the process:
+
+``` python
+    plot_config = {
+        'main_plot': {
+            # Configuration for main plot indicators.
+            # Specifies `ema10` to be red, and `ema50` to be a shade of gray
+            'ema10': {'color': 'red'},
+            'ema50': {'color': '#CCCCCC'},
+            # By omitting color, a random color is selected.
+            'sar': {},
+        },
+        'subplots': {
+            # Create subplot MACD
+            "MACD": {
+                'macd': {'color': 'blue'},
+                'macdsignal': {'color': 'orange'},
+            },
+            # Additional subplot RSI
+            "RSI": {
+                'rsi': {'color': 'red'},
+            }
+        }
+    }
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    The above configuration assumes that `ema10`, `ema50`, `macd`, `macdsignal` and `rsi` are columns in the DataFrame created by the strategy.
+
+## Plot profit
+
+![plot-profit](assets/plot-profit.png)
+
+The `plot-profit` subcommand shows an interactive graph with three plots:
+
+* Average closing price for all pairs.
+* The summarized profit made by backtesting.
+Note that this is not the real-world profit, but more of an estimate.
+* 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] [-v] [--logfile FILE] [-V] [-c PATH]
+                             [-d PATH] [--userdir PATH] [-p PAIRS [PAIRS ...]]
+                             [--timerange TIMERANGE] [--export EXPORT]
+                             [--export-filename PATH] [--db-url PATH]
+                             [--trade-source {DB,file}] [-i TICKER_INTERVAL]
+
+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.
+                        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:///tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite` for
+                        Dry Run).
+  --trade-source {DB,file}
+                        Specify the source for trades (Can be DB or file
+                        (backtest file)) Default: file
+  -i TICKER_INTERVAL, --ticker-interval TICKER_INTERVAL
+                        Specify ticker interval (`1m`, `5m`, `30m`, `1h`,
+                        `1d`).
+
+Common arguments:
+  -v, --verbose         Verbose mode (-vv for more, -vvv to get all messages).
+  --logfile FILE        Log to the file specified. Special values are:
+                        'syslog', 'journald'. See the documentation for more
+                        details.
+  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
+  -c PATH, --config PATH
+                        Specify configuration file (default: `config.json`).
+                        Multiple --config options may be used. Can be set to
+                        `-` to read config from stdin.
+  -d PATH, --datadir PATH
+                        Path to directory with historical backtesting data.
+  --userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH
+                        Path to userdata directory.
+
+```
+
+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 --datadir user_data/data/binance_save/ plot-profit -p LTC/BTC

+# REST API Usage
+
+## Configuration
+
+Enable the rest API by adding the api_server section to your configuration and setting `api_server.enabled` to `true`.
+
+Sample configuration:
+
+``` json
+    "api_server": {
+        "enabled": true,
+        "listen_ip_address": "127.0.0.1",
+        "listen_port": 8080,
+        "username": "Freqtrader",
+        "password": "SuperSecret1!"
+    },
+```
+
+!!! Danger "Security warning"
+    By default, the configuration listens on localhost only (so it's not reachable from other systems). We strongly recommend to not expose this API to the internet and choose a strong, unique password, since others will potentially be able to control your bot.
+
+!!! Danger "Password selection"
+    Please make sure to select a very strong, unique password to protect your bot from unauthorized access.
+
+You can then access the API by going to `http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/ping` in a browser to check if the API is running correctly.
+This should return the response:
+
+``` output
+{"status":"pong"}
+```
+
+All other endpoints return sensitive info and require authentication, so are not available through a web browser.
+
+To generate a secure password, either use a password manager, or use the below code snipped.
+
+``` python
+import secrets
+secrets.token_hex()
+```
+
+### Configuration with docker
+
+If you run your bot using docker, you'll need to have the bot listen to incomming connections. The security is then handled by docker.
+
+``` json
+    "api_server": {
+        "enabled": true,
+        "listen_ip_address": "0.0.0.0",
+        "listen_port": 8080
+    },
+```
+
+Add the following to your docker command:
+
+``` bash
+  -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080
+```
+
+A complete sample-command may then look as follows:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name freqtrade \
+  -v ~/.freqtrade/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json \
+  -v ~/.freqtrade/user_data/:/freqtrade/user_data \
+  -v ~/.freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite:/freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite \
+  -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
+  freqtrade trade --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite --strategy MyAwesomeStrategy
+```
+
+!!! Danger "Security warning"
+    By using `-p 8080:8080` the API is available to everyone connecting to the server under the correct port, so others may be able to control your bot.
+
+## Consuming the API
+
+You can consume the API by using the script `scripts/rest_client.py`.
+The client script only requires the `requests` module, so Freqtrade does not need to be installed on the system.
+
+``` bash
+python3 scripts/rest_client.py <command> [optional parameters]
+```
+
+By default, the script assumes `127.0.0.1` (localhost) and port `8080` to be used, however you can specify a configuration file to override this behaviour.
+
+### Minimalistic client config
+
+``` json
+{
+    "api_server": {
+        "enabled": true,
+        "listen_ip_address": "0.0.0.0",
+        "listen_port": 8080
+    }
+}
+```
+
+``` bash
+python3 scripts/rest_client.py --config rest_config.json <command> [optional parameters]
+```
+
+## Available commands
+

+# Sandbox API testing
+
+Where an exchange provides a sandbox for risk-free integration, or end-to-end, testing CCXT provides access to these.
+
+This document is a *light overview of configuring Freqtrade and GDAX sandbox.
+This can be useful to developers and trader alike as Freqtrade is quite customisable.
+
+When testing your API connectivity, make sure to use the following URLs.
+***Website**
+https://public.sandbox.gdax.com
+***REST API**
+https://api-public.sandbox.gdax.com
+
+---
+
+# Configure a Sandbox account on Gdax
+
+Aim of this document section
+
+- An sanbox account
+- create 2FA (needed to create an API)
+- Add test 50BTC to account 
+- Create :
+- - API-KEY
+- - API-Secret
+- - API Password
+
+## Acccount
+
+This link will redirect to the sandbox main page to login / create account dialogues:
+https://public.sandbox.pro.coinbase.com/orders/
+
+After registration and Email confimation you wil be redirected into your sanbox account.  It is easy to verify you're in sandbox by checking the URL bar.
+> https://public.sandbox.pro.coinbase.com/
+
+## Enable 2Fa (a prerequisite to creating sandbox API Keys)
+
+From within sand box site select your profile, top right.
+>Or as a direct link: https://public.sandbox.pro.coinbase.com/profile
+
+From the menu panel to the left of the screen select
+
+> Security: "*View or Update*"
+
+In the new site select "enable authenticator" as typical google Authenticator.
+
+- open Google Authenticator on your phone
+- scan barcode
+- enter your generated 2fa
+
+## Enable API Access
+
+From within sandbox select profile>api>create api-keys
+>or as a direct link: https://public.sandbox.pro.coinbase.com/profile/api
+
+Click on "create one" and ensure  **view** and **trade**  are "checked" and sumbit your 2FA

+
+- Deposits (bottom left of screen)
+- - Deposit Funds Bitcoin
+- - - Coinbase BTC Wallet
+- - - - Max (50 BTC)
+- - - - - Deposit

+
+# Configure Freqtrade to use Gax Sandbox 
+
+The aim of this document section
+
+- Enable sandbox URLs in Freqtrade
+- Configure API
+- - secret
+- - key
+- - passphrase
+ 
+## Sandbox URLs
+
+Freqtrade makes use of CCXT which in turn provides a list of URLs to Freqtrade.
+These include `['test']` and `['api']`.
+
+- `[Test]` if available will point to an Exchanges sandbox. 
+- `[Api]` normally used, and resolves to live API target on the exchange 
+
+To make use of sandbox / test add "sandbox": true, to your config.json
+
+```json
+  "exchange": {
+        "name": "gdax",
+        "sandbox": true,
+        "key": "5wowfxemogxeowo;heiohgmd",
+        "secret": "/ZMH1P62rCVmwefewrgcewX8nh4gob+lywxfwfxwwfxwfNsH1ySgvWCUR/w==",
+        "password": "1bkjfkhfhfu6sr",
+        "outdated_offset": 5
+        "pair_whitelist": [
+            "BTC/USD"
+```
+
+Also insert your 
+
+- api-key  (noted earlier)
+- api-secret (noted earlier)
+- password (the passphrase - noted earlier)
+
+---
+
+## You should now be ready to test your sandbox
+
+Ensure Freqtrade logs show the sandbox URL, and trades made are shown in sandbox.
+** Typically the  BTC/USD has the most activity in sandbox to test against.
+
+## GDAX - Old Candles problem
+
+It is my experience that GDAX sandbox candles may be 20+- minutes out of date. This can cause trades to fail as one of Freqtrades safety checks.
+
+To disable this check, add / change the `"outdated_offset"` parameter in the exchange section of your configuration to adjust for this delay.
+Example based on the above configuration:
+
+```json
+  "exchange": {
+        "name": "gdax",
+        "sandbox": true,
+        "key": "5wowfxemogxeowo;heiohgmd",
+        "secret": "/ZMH1P62rCVmwefewrgcewX8nh4gob+lywxfwfxwwfxwfNsH1ySgvWCUR/w==",
+        "password": "1bkjfkhfhfu6sr",
+        "outdated_offset": 30

+# Stop Loss
+
+The `stoploss` configuration parameter is loss in percentage that should trigger a sale.
+For example, value `-0.10` will cause immediate sell if the profit dips below -10% for a given trade. This parameter is optional.
+
+Most of the strategy files already include the optimal `stoploss` value.
+
+!!! Info
+    All stoploss properties mentioned in this file can be set in the Strategy, or in the configuration. Configuration values will override the strategy values.
+
+## Stop Loss Types
+
+At this stage the bot contains the following stoploss support modes:
+
+1. Static stop loss.
+2. Trailing stop loss.
+3. Trailing stop loss, custom positive loss.
+4. Trailing stop loss only once the trade has reached a certain offset.
+
+Those stoploss modes can be *on exchange* or *off exchange*. If the stoploss is *on exchange* it means a stoploss limit order is placed on the exchange immediately after buy order happens successfully. This will protect you against sudden crashes in market as the order will be in the queue immediately and if market goes down then the order has more chance of being fulfilled.
+
+In case of stoploss on exchange there is another parameter called `stoploss_on_exchange_interval`. This configures the interval in seconds at which the bot will check the stoploss and update it if necessary.
+
+For example, assuming the stoploss is on exchange, and trailing stoploss is enabled, and the market is going up, then the bot automatically cancels the previous stoploss order and puts a new one with a stop value higher than the previous stoploss order.
+The bot cannot do this every 5 seconds (at each iteration), otherwise it would get banned by the exchange.
+So this parameter will tell the bot how often it should update the stoploss order. The default value is 60 (1 minute).
+This same logic will reapply a stoploss order on the exchange should you cancel it accidentally.
+
+!!! Note
+    Stoploss on exchange is only supported for Binance (stop-loss-limit) and Kraken (stop-loss-market) as of now.
+
+## Static Stop Loss
+
+This is very simple, you define a stop loss of x (as a ratio of price, i.e. x * 100% of price). This will try to sell the asset once the loss exceeds the defined loss.
+
+## Trailing Stop Loss
+
+The initial value for this is `stoploss`, just as you would define your static Stop loss.
+To enable trailing stoploss:
+
+``` python
+trailing_stop = True
+```
+
+This will now activate an algorithm, which automatically moves the stop loss up every time the price of your asset increases.
+
+For example, simplified math:
+
+* the bot buys an asset at a price of 100$
+* the stop loss is defined at 2%
+* the stop loss would get triggered once the asset dropps below 98$
+* assuming the asset now increases to 102$
+* the stop loss will now be 2% of 102$ or 99.96$
+* now the asset drops in value to 101$, the stop loss will still be 99.96$ and would trigger at 99.96$.
+
+In summary: The stoploss will be adjusted to be always be 2% of the highest observed price.
+
+### Custom positive stoploss
+
+It is also possible to have a default stop loss, when you are in the red with your buy, but once your profit surpasses a certain percentage, the system will utilize a new stop loss, which can have a different value.
+For example your default stop loss is 5%, but once you have 1.1% profit, it will be changed to be only a 1% stop loss, which trails the green candles until it goes below them.
+
+Both values require `trailing_stop` to be set to true.
+
+``` python
+    trailing_stop_positive = 0.01
+    trailing_stop_positive_offset = 0.011
+```
+
+The 0.01 would translate to a 1% stop loss, once you hit 1.1% profit.
+Before this, `stoploss` is used for the trailing stoploss.
+
+Read the [next section](#trailing-only-once-offset-is-reached) to keep stoploss at 5% of the entry point.
+
+!!! Tip
+    Make sure to have this value (`trailing_stop_positive_offset`) lower than minimal ROI, otherwise minimal ROI will apply first and sell the trade.
+
+### Trailing only once offset is reached
+
+It is also possible to use a static stoploss until the offset is reached, and then trail the trade to take profits once the market turns.
+
+If `"trailing_only_offset_is_reached": true` then the trailing stoploss is only activated once the offset is reached. Until then, the stoploss remains at the configured `stoploss`.
+This option can be used with or without `trailing_stop_positive`, but uses `trailing_stop_positive_offset` as offset.
+
+``` python
+    trailing_stop_positive_offset = 0.011
+    trailing_only_offset_is_reached = true
+```
+
+Simplified example:
+
+``` python
+    stoploss = 0.05
+    trailing_stop_positive_offset = 0.03
+    trailing_only_offset_is_reached = True
+```
+
+* the bot buys an asset at a price of 100$
+* the stop loss is defined at 5%
+* the stop loss will remain at 95% until profit reaches +3%
+
+## Changing stoploss on open trades
+
+A stoploss on an open trade can be changed by changing the value in the configuration or strategy and use the `/reload_conf` command (alternatively, completely stopping and restarting the bot also works).
+
+The new stoploss value will be applied to open trades (and corresponding log-messages will be generated).
+
+### Limitations
+
+Stoploss values cannot be changed if `trailing_stop` is enabled and the stoploss has already been adjusted, or if [Edge](edge.md) is enabled (since Edge would recalculate stoploss based on the current market situation).

+# Strategy Customization
+
+This page explains where to customize your strategies, and add new
+indicators.
+
+## Install a custom strategy file
+
+This is very simple. Copy paste your strategy file into the directory `user_data/strategies`.
+
+Let assume you have a class called `AwesomeStrategy` in the file `AwesomeStrategy.py`:
+
+1. Move your file into `user_data/strategies` (you should have `user_data/strategies/AwesomeStrategy.py`
+2. Start the bot with the param `--strategy AwesomeStrategy` (the parameter is the class name)
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade --strategy AwesomeStrategy
+```
+
+## Develop your own strategy
+
+The bot includes a default strategy file.
+Also, several other strategies are available in the [strategy repository](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade-strategies).
+
+You will however most likely have your own idea for a strategy.
+This document intends to help you develop one for yourself.
+
+To get started, use `freqtrade new-strategy --strategy AwesomeStrategy`.
+This will create a new strategy file from a template, which will be located under `user_data/strategies/AwesomeStrategy.py`.
+
+!!! Note
+    This is just a template file, which will most likely not be profitable out of the box.
+
+### Anatomy of a strategy
+
+A strategy file contains all the information needed to build a good strategy:
+
+- Indicators
+- Buy strategy rules
+- Sell strategy rules
+- Minimal ROI recommended
+- Stoploss strongly recommended
+
+The bot also include a sample strategy called `SampleStrategy` you can update: `user_data/strategies/sample_strategy.py`.
+You can test it with the parameter: `--strategy SampleStrategy`
+
+Additionally, there is an attribute called `INTERFACE_VERSION`, which defines the version of the strategy interface the bot should use.
+The current version is 2 - which is also the default when it's not set explicitly in the strategy.
+
+Future versions will require this to be set.
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade --strategy AwesomeStrategy
+```
+
+**For the following section we will use the [user_data/strategies/sample_strategy.py](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/templates/sample_strategy.py)
+file as reference.**
+
+!!! Note "Strategies and Backtesting"
+    To avoid problems and unexpected differences between Backtesting and dry/live modes, please be aware
+    that during backtesting the full time-interval is passed to the `populate_*()` methods at once.
+    It is therefore best to use vectorized operations (across the whole dataframe, not loops) and
+    avoid index referencing (`df.iloc[-1]`), but instead use `df.shift()` to get to the previous candle.
+
+!!! Warning "Warning: Using future data"
+    Since backtesting passes the full time interval to the `populate_*()` methods, the strategy author
+    needs to take care to avoid having the strategy utilize data from the future.
+    Some common patterns for this are listed in the [Common Mistakes](#common-mistakes-when-developing-strategies) section of this document.
+
+### Customize Indicators
+
+Buy and sell strategies need indicators. You can add more indicators by extending the list contained in the method `populate_indicators()` from your strategy file.
+
+You should only add the indicators used in either `populate_buy_trend()`, `populate_sell_trend()`, or to populate another indicator, otherwise performance may suffer.
+
+It's important to always return the dataframe without removing/modifying the columns `"open", "high", "low", "close", "volume"`, otherwise these fields would contain something unexpected.
+
+Sample:
+
+```python
+def populate_indicators(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    """
+    Adds several different TA indicators to the given DataFrame
+
+    Performance Note: For the best performance be frugal on the number of indicators
+    you are using. Let uncomment only the indicator you are using in your strategies
+    or your hyperopt configuration, otherwise you will waste your memory and CPU usage.
+    :param dataframe: Raw data from the exchange and parsed by parse_ticker_dataframe()
+    :param metadata: Additional information, like the currently traded pair
+    :return: a Dataframe with all mandatory indicators for the strategies
+    """
+    dataframe['sar'] = ta.SAR(dataframe)
+    dataframe['adx'] = ta.ADX(dataframe)
+    stoch = ta.STOCHF(dataframe)
+    dataframe['fastd'] = stoch['fastd']
+    dataframe['fastk'] = stoch['fastk']
+    dataframe['blower'] = ta.BBANDS(dataframe, nbdevup=2, nbdevdn=2)['lowerband']
+    dataframe['sma'] = ta.SMA(dataframe, timeperiod=40)
+    dataframe['tema'] = ta.TEMA(dataframe, timeperiod=9)
+    dataframe['mfi'] = ta.MFI(dataframe)
+    dataframe['rsi'] = ta.RSI(dataframe)
+    dataframe['ema5'] = ta.EMA(dataframe, timeperiod=5)
+    dataframe['ema10'] = ta.EMA(dataframe, timeperiod=10)
+    dataframe['ema50'] = ta.EMA(dataframe, timeperiod=50)
+    dataframe['ema100'] = ta.EMA(dataframe, timeperiod=100)
+    dataframe['ao'] = awesome_oscillator(dataframe)
+    macd = ta.MACD(dataframe)
+    dataframe['macd'] = macd['macd']
+    dataframe['macdsignal'] = macd['macdsignal']
+    dataframe['macdhist'] = macd['macdhist']
+    hilbert = ta.HT_SINE(dataframe)
+    dataframe['htsine'] = hilbert['sine']
+    dataframe['htleadsine'] = hilbert['leadsine']
+    dataframe['plus_dm'] = ta.PLUS_DM(dataframe)
+    dataframe['plus_di'] = ta.PLUS_DI(dataframe)
+    dataframe['minus_dm'] = ta.MINUS_DM(dataframe)
+    dataframe['minus_di'] = ta.MINUS_DI(dataframe)
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+!!! Note "Want more indicator examples?"
+    Look into the [user_data/strategies/sample_strategy.py](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/templates/sample_strategy.py).
+    Then uncomment indicators you need.
+
+### Strategy startup period
+
+Most indicators have an instable startup period, in which they are either not available, or the calculation is incorrect. This can lead to inconsistencies, since Freqtrade does not know how long this instable period should be.
+To account for this, the strategy can be assigned the `startup_candle_count` attribute.
+This should be set to the maximum number of candles that the strategy requires to calculate stable indicators.
+
+In this example strategy, this should be set to 100 (`startup_candle_count = 100`), since the longest needed history is 100 candles.
+
+``` python
+    dataframe['ema100'] = ta.EMA(dataframe, timeperiod=100)
+```
+
+By letting the bot know how much history is needed, backtest trades can start at the specified timerange during backtesting and hyperopt.
+
+!!! Warning
+    `startup_candle_count` should be below `ohlcv_candle_limit` (which is 500 for most exchanges) - since only this amount of candles will be available during Dry-Run/Live Trade operations.
+
+#### Example
+
+Let's try to backtest 1 month (January 2019) of 5m candles using the an example strategy with EMA100, as above.
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade backtesting --timerange 20190101-20190201 --ticker-interval 5m
+```
+
+Assuming `startup_candle_count` is set to 100, backtesting knows it needs 100 candles to generate valid buy signals. It will load data from `20190101 - (100 * 5m)` - which is ~2019-12-31 15:30:00.
+If this data is available, indicators will be calculated with this extended timerange. The instable startup period (up to 2019-01-01 00:00:00) will then be removed before starting backtesting.
+
+!!! Note
+    If data for the startup period is not available, then the timerange will be adjusted to account for this startup period - so Backtesting would start at 2019-01-01 08:30:00.
+
+### Buy signal rules
+
+Edit the method `populate_buy_trend()` in your strategy file to update your buy strategy.
+
+It's important to always return the dataframe without removing/modifying the columns `"open", "high", "low", "close", "volume"`, otherwise these fields would contain something unexpected.
+
+This will method will also define a new column, `"buy"`, which needs to contain 1 for buys, and 0 for "no action".
+
+Sample from `user_data/strategies/sample_strategy.py`:
+
+```python
+def populate_buy_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    """
+    Based on TA indicators, populates the buy signal for the given dataframe
+    :param dataframe: DataFrame populated with indicators
+    :param metadata: Additional information, like the currently traded pair
+    :return: DataFrame with buy column
+    """
+    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'] = 1
+
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    Buying requires sellers to buy from - therefore volume needs to be > 0 (`dataframe['volume'] > 0`) to make sure that the bot does not buy/sell in no-activity periods.
+
+### Sell signal rules
+
+Edit the method `populate_sell_trend()` into your strategy file to update your sell strategy.
+Please note that the sell-signal is only used if `use_sell_signal` is set to true in the configuration.
+
+It's important to always return the dataframe without removing/modifying the columns `"open", "high", "low", "close", "volume"`, otherwise these fields would contain something unexpected.
+
+This will method will also define a new column, `"sell"`, which needs to contain 1 for sells, and 0 for "no action".
+
+Sample from `user_data/strategies/sample_strategy.py`:
+
+```python
+def populate_sell_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    """
+    Based on TA indicators, populates the sell signal for the given dataframe
+    :param dataframe: DataFrame populated with indicators
+    :param metadata: Additional information, like the currently traded pair
+    :return: DataFrame with buy column
+    """
+    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'] = 1
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+### Minimal ROI
+
+This dict defines the minimal Return On Investment (ROI) a trade should reach before selling, independent from the sell signal.
+
+It is of the following format, with the dict key (left side of the colon) being the minutes passed since the trade opened, and the value (right side of the colon) being the percentage.
+
+```python
+minimal_roi = {
+    "40": 0.0,
+    "30": 0.01,
+    "20": 0.02,
+    "0": 0.04
+}
+```
+
+The above configuration would therefore mean:
+
+- Sell whenever 4% profit was reached
+- Sell when 2% profit was reached (in effect after 20 minutes)
+- Sell when 1% profit was reached (in effect after 30 minutes)
+- Sell when trade is non-loosing (in effect after 40 minutes)
+
+The calculation does include fees.
+
+To disable ROI completely, set it to an insanely high number:
+
+```python
+minimal_roi = {
+    "0": 100
+}
+```
+
+While technically not completely disabled, this would sell once the trade reaches 10000% Profit.
+
+### Stoploss
+
+Setting a stoploss is highly recommended to protect your capital from strong moves against you.
+
+Sample:
+
+``` python
+stoploss = -0.10
+```
+
+This would signify a stoploss of -10%.
+
+For the full documentation on stoploss features, look at the dedicated [stoploss page](stoploss.md).
+
+If your exchange supports it, it's recommended to also set `"stoploss_on_exchange"` in the order_types dictionary, so your stoploss is on the exchange and cannot be missed due to network problems, high load or other reasons.
+
+For more information on order_types please look [here](configuration.md#understand-order_types).
+
+### Ticker interval
+
+This is the set of candles the bot should download and use for the analysis.
+Common values are `"1m"`, `"5m"`, `"15m"`, `"1h"`, however all values supported by your exchange should work.
+
+Please note that the same buy/sell signals may work with one interval, but not the other.
+This setting is accessible within the strategy by using `self.ticker_interval`.
+
+### Metadata dict
+
+The metadata-dict (available for `populate_buy_trend`, `populate_sell_trend`, `populate_indicators`) contains additional information.
+Currently this is `pair`, which can be accessed using `metadata['pair']` - and will return a pair in the format `XRP/BTC`.
+
+The Metadata-dict should not be modified and does not persist information across multiple calls.
+Instead, have a look at the section [Storing information](#Storing-information)
+
+### Storing information
+
+Storing information can be accomplished by creating a new dictionary within the strategy class.
+
+The name of the variable can be chosen at will, but should be prefixed with `cust_` to avoid naming collisions with predefined strategy variables.
+
+```python
+class Awesomestrategy(IStrategy):
+    # Create custom dictionary
+    cust_info = {}
+    def populate_indicators(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+        # Check if the entry already exists
+        if "crosstime" in self.cust_info[metadata["pair"]:
+            self.cust_info[metadata["pair"]["crosstime"] += 1
+        else:
+            self.cust_info[metadata["pair"]["crosstime"] = 1
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    The data is not persisted after a bot-restart (or config-reload). Also, the amount of data should be kept smallish (no DataFrames and such), otherwise the bot will start to consume a lot of memory and eventually run out of memory and crash.
+
+!!! Note
+    If the data is pair-specific, make sure to use pair as one of the keys in the dictionary.
+
+### Additional data (DataProvider)
+
+The strategy provides access to the `DataProvider`. This allows you to get additional data to use in your strategy.
+
+All methods return `None` in case of failure (do not raise an exception).
+
+Please always check the mode of operation to select the correct method to get data (samples see below).
+
+#### Possible options for DataProvider
+
+- `available_pairs` - Property with tuples listing cached pairs with their intervals (pair, interval).
+- `ohlcv(pair, timeframe)` - Currently cached ticker data for the pair, returns DataFrame or empty DataFrame.
+- `historic_ohlcv(pair, timeframe)` - Returns historical data stored on disk.
+- `get_pair_dataframe(pair, timeframe)` - This is a universal method, which returns either historical data (for backtesting) or cached live data (for the Dry-Run and Live-Run modes).
+- `orderbook(pair, maximum)` - Returns latest orderbook data for the pair, a dict with bids/asks with a total of `maximum` entries.
+- `market(pair)` - Returns market data for the pair: fees, limits, precisions, activity flag, etc. See [ccxt documentation](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/wiki/Manual#markets) for more details on Market data structure.
+- `runmode` - Property containing the current runmode.
+
+#### Example: fetch live ohlcv / historic data for the first informative pair
+
+``` python
+if self.dp:
+    inf_pair, inf_timeframe = self.informative_pairs()[0]
+    informative = self.dp.get_pair_dataframe(pair=inf_pair,
+                                             timeframe=inf_timeframe)
+```
+
+!!! Warning "Warning about backtesting"
+    Be carefull when using dataprovider in backtesting. `historic_ohlcv()` (and `get_pair_dataframe()`
+    for the backtesting runmode) provides the full time-range in one go,
+    so please be aware of it and make sure to not "look into the future" to avoid surprises when running in dry/live mode).
+
+!!! Warning "Warning in hyperopt"
+    This option cannot currently be used during hyperopt.
+
+#### Orderbook
+
+``` python
+if self.dp:
+    if self.dp.runmode.value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
+        ob = self.dp.orderbook(metadata['pair'], 1)
+        dataframe['best_bid'] = ob['bids'][0][0]
+        dataframe['best_ask'] = ob['asks'][0][0]
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    The order book is not part of the historic data which means backtesting and hyperopt will not work if this
+    method is used.
+
+#### Available Pairs
+
+``` python
+if self.dp:
+    for pair, ticker in self.dp.available_pairs:
+        print(f"available {pair}, {ticker}")
+```
+
+#### Get data for non-tradeable pairs
+
+Data for additional, informative pairs (reference pairs) can be beneficial for some strategies.
+Ohlcv data for these pairs will be downloaded as part of the regular whitelist refresh process and is available via `DataProvider` just as other pairs (see above).
+These parts will **not** be traded unless they are also specified in the pair whitelist, or have been selected by Dynamic Whitelisting.
+
+The pairs need to be specified as tuples in the format `("pair", "interval")`, with pair as the first and time interval as the second argument.
+
+Sample:
+
+``` python
+def informative_pairs(self):
+    return [("ETH/USDT", "5m"),
+            ("BTC/TUSD", "15m"),
+            ]
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    As these pairs will be refreshed as part of the regular whitelist refresh, it's best to keep this list short.
+    All intervals and all pairs can be specified as long as they are available (and active) on the used exchange.
+    It is however better to use resampling to longer time-intervals when possible
+    to avoid hammering the exchange with too many requests and risk being blocked.
+
+### Additional data (Wallets)
+
+The strategy provides access to the `Wallets` object. This contains the current balances on the exchange.
+
+!!! Note
+    Wallets is not available during backtesting / hyperopt.
+
+Please always check if `Wallets` is available to avoid failures during backtesting.
+
+``` python
+if self.wallets:
+    free_eth = self.wallets.get_free('ETH')
+    used_eth = self.wallets.get_used('ETH')
+    total_eth = self.wallets.get_total('ETH')
+```
+
+#### Possible options for Wallets
+
+- `get_free(asset)` - currently available balance to trade
+- `get_used(asset)` - currently tied up balance (open orders)
+- `get_total(asset)` - total available balance - sum of the 2 above
+
+### Additional data (Trades)
+
+A history of Trades can be retrieved in the strategy by querying the database.
+
+At the top of the file, import Trade.
+
+```python
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+```
+
+The following example queries for the current pair and trades from today, however other filters can easily be added.
+
+``` python
+if self.config['runmode'].value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
+    trades = Trade.get_trades([Trade.pair == metadata['pair'],
+                               Trade.open_date > datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(days=1),
+                               Trade.is_open == False,
+                ]).order_by(Trade.close_date).all()
+    # Summarize profit for this pair.
+    curdayprofit = sum(trade.close_profit for trade in trades)
+```
+
+Get amount of stake_currency currently invested in Trades:
+
+``` python
+if self.config['runmode'].value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
+    total_stakes = Trade.total_open_trades_stakes()
+```
+
+Retrieve performance per pair.
+Returns a List of dicts per pair.
+
+``` python
+if self.config['runmode'].value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
+    performance = Trade.get_overall_performance()
+```
+
+Sample return value: ETH/BTC had 5 trades, with a total profit of 1.5% (ratio of 0.015).
+
+``` json
+{'pair': "ETH/BTC", 'profit': 0.015, 'count': 5}
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    Trade history is not available during backtesting or hyperopt.
+
+### Prevent trades from happening for a specific pair
+
+Freqtrade locks pairs automatically for the current candle (until that candle is over) when a pair is sold, preventing an immediate re-buy of that pair.
+
+Locked pairs will show the message `Pair <pair> is currently locked.`.
+
+#### Locking pairs from within the strategy
+
+Sometimes it may be desired to lock a pair after certain events happen (e.g. multiple losing trades in a row).
+
+Freqtrade has an easy method to do this from within the strategy, by calling `self.lock_pair(pair, until)`.
+`until` must be a datetime object in the future, after which trading will be reenabled for that pair.
+
+Locks can also be lifted manually, by calling `self.unlock_pair(pair)`.
+
+To verify if a pair is currently locked, use `self.is_pair_locked(pair)`.
+
+!!! Note
+    Locked pairs are not persisted, so a restart of the bot, or calling `/reload_conf` will reset locked pairs.
+
+!!! Warning
+    Locking pairs is not functioning during backtesting.
+
+##### Pair locking example
+
+``` python
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+from datetime import timedelta, datetime, timezone
+# Put the above lines a the top of the strategy file, next to all the other imports
+# --------
+
+# Within populate indicators (or populate_buy):
+if self.config['runmode'].value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
+   # fetch closed trades for the last 2 days
+    trades = Trade.get_trades([Trade.pair == metadata['pair'],
+                               Trade.open_date > datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(days=2),
+                               Trade.is_open == False,
+                ]).all()
+    # Analyze the conditions you'd like to lock the pair .... will probably be different for every strategy
+    sumprofit = sum(trade.close_profit for trade in trades)
+    if sumprofit < 0:
+        # Lock pair for 12 hours
+        self.lock_pair(metadata['pair'], until=datetime.now(timezone.utc) + timedelta(hours=12))
+```
+
+### Print created dataframe
+
+To inspect the created dataframe, you can issue a print-statement in either `populate_buy_trend()` or `populate_sell_trend()`.
+You may also want to print the pair so it's clear what data is currently shown.
+
+``` python
+def populate_buy_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            #>> whatever condition<<<
+        ),
+        'buy'] = 1
+
+    # Print the Analyzed pair
+    print(f"result for {metadata['pair']}")
+
+    # Inspect the last 5 rows
+    print(dataframe.tail())
+
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+Printing more than a few rows is also possible (simply use  `print(dataframe)` instead of `print(dataframe.tail())`), however not recommended, as that will be very verbose (~500 lines per pair every 5 seconds).
+
+### Specify custom strategy location
+
+If you want to use a strategy from a different directory you can pass `--strategy-path`
+
+```bash
+freqtrade trade --strategy AwesomeStrategy --strategy-path /some/directory
+```
+
+### Derived strategies
+
+The strategies can be derived from other strategies. This avoids duplication of your custom strategy code. You can use this technique to override small parts of your main strategy, leaving the rest untouched:
+
+``` python
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    ...
+    stoploss = 0.13
+    trailing_stop = False
+    # All other attributes and methods are here as they
+    # should be in any custom strategy...
+    ...
+
+class MyAwesomeStrategy2(MyAwesomeStrategy):
+    # Override something
+    stoploss = 0.08
+    trailing_stop = True
+```
+
+Both attributes and methods may be overriden, altering behavior of the original strategy in a way you need.
+
+### Common mistakes when developing strategies
+
+Backtesting analyzes the whole time-range at once for performance reasons. Because of this, strategy authors need to make sure that strategies do not look-ahead into the future.
+This is a common pain-point, which can cause huge differences between backtesting and dry/live run methods, since they all use data which is not available during dry/live runs, so these strategies will perform well during backtesting, but will fail / perform badly in real conditions.
+
+The following lists some common patterns which should be avoided to prevent frustration:
+
+- don't use `shift(-1)`. This uses data from the future, which is not available.
+- don't use `.iloc[-1]` or any other absolute position in the dataframe, this will be different between dry-run and backtesting.
+- don't use `dataframe['volume'].mean()`. This uses the full DataFrame for backtesting, including data from the future. Use `dataframe['volume'].rolling(<window>).mean()` instead
+- don't use `.resample('1h')`. This uses the left border of the interval, so moves data from an hour to the start of the hour. Use `.resample('1h', label='right')` instead.
+
+### Further strategy ideas
+
+To get additional Ideas for strategies, head over to our [strategy repository](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade-strategies). Feel free to use them as they are - but results will depend on the current market situation, pairs used etc. - therefore please backtest the strategy for your exchange/desired pairs first, evaluate carefully, use at your own risk.
+Feel free to use any of them as inspiration for your own strategies.
+We're happy to accept Pull Requests containing new Strategies to that repo.
+
+We also got a *strategy-sharing* channel in our [Slack community](https://join.slack.com/t/highfrequencybot/shared_invite/enQtNjU5ODcwNjI1MDU3LTU1MTgxMjkzNmYxNWE1MDEzYzQ3YmU4N2MwZjUyNjJjODRkMDVkNjg4YTAyZGYzYzlhOTZiMTE4ZjQ4YzM0OGE) which is a great place to get and/or share ideas.
+
+## Next step
+
+Now you have a perfect strategy you probably want to backtest it.
+Your next step is to learn [How to use the Backtesting](backtesting.md).

+# Strategy analysis example
+
+Debugging a strategy can be time-consuming. Freqtrade offers helper functions to visualize raw data.
+The following assumes you work with SampleStrategy, data for 5m timeframe from Binance and have downloaded them into the data directory in the default location.
+
+## Setup
+
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+from freqtrade.configuration import Configuration
+
+# Customize these according to your needs.
+
+# Initialize empty configuration object
+config = Configuration.from_files([])
+# Optionally, use existing configuration file
+# config = Configuration.from_files(["config.json"])
+
+# Define some constants
+config["ticker_interval"] = "5m"
+# Name of the strategy class
+config["strategy"] = "SampleStrategy"
+# Location of the data
+data_location = Path(config['user_data_dir'], 'data', 'binance')
+# Pair to analyze - Only use one pair here
+pair = "BTC_USDT"
+```
+
+
+```python
+# Load data using values set above
+from freqtrade.data.history import load_pair_history
+
+candles = load_pair_history(datadir=data_location,
+                            timeframe=config["ticker_interval"],
+                            pair=pair)
+
+# Confirm success
+print("Loaded " + str(len(candles)) + f" rows of data for {pair} from {data_location}")
+candles.head()
+```
+
+## Load and run strategy
+* Rerun each time the strategy file is changed
+
+
+```python
+# Load strategy using values set above
+from freqtrade.resolvers import StrategyResolver
+strategy = StrategyResolver.load_strategy(config)
+
+# Generate buy/sell signals using strategy
+df = strategy.analyze_ticker(candles, {'pair': pair})
+df.tail()
+```
+
+### Display the trade details
+
+* Note that using `data.head()` would also work, however most indicators have some "startup" data at the top of the dataframe.
+* Some possible problems
+    * Columns with NaN values at the end of the dataframe
+    * Columns used in `crossed*()` functions with completely different units
+* Comparison with full backtest
+    * having 200 buy signals as output for one pair from `analyze_ticker()` does not necessarily mean that 200 trades will be made during backtesting.
+    * Assuming you use only one condition such as, `df['rsi'] < 30` as buy condition, this will generate multiple "buy" signals for each pair in sequence (until rsi returns > 29). The bot will only buy on the first of these signals (and also only if a trade-slot ("max_open_trades") is still available), or on one of the middle signals, as soon as a "slot" becomes available.  
+
+
+
+```python
+# Report results
+print(f"Generated {df['buy'].sum()} buy signals")
+data = df.set_index('date', drop=False)
+data.tail()
+```
+
+## Load existing objects into a Jupyter notebook
+
+The following cells assume that you have already generated data using the cli.  
+They will allow you to drill deeper into your results, and perform analysis which otherwise would make the output very difficult to digest due to information overload.
+
+### Load backtest results to pandas dataframe
+
+Analyze a trades dataframe (also used below for plotting)
+
+
+```python
+from freqtrade.data.btanalysis import load_backtest_data
+
+# Load backtest results
+trades = load_backtest_data(config["user_data_dir"] / "backtest_results/backtest-result.json")
+
+# Show value-counts per pair
+trades.groupby("pair")["sell_reason"].value_counts()
+```
+
+### Load live trading results into a pandas dataframe
+
+In case you did already some trading and want to analyze your performance
+
+
+```python
+from freqtrade.data.btanalysis import load_trades_from_db
+
+# Fetch trades from database
+trades = load_trades_from_db("sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite")
+
+# Display results
+trades.groupby("pair")["sell_reason"].value_counts()
+```
+
+## Analyze the loaded trades for trade parallelism
+This can be useful to find the best `max_open_trades` parameter, when used with backtesting in conjunction with `--disable-max-market-positions`.
+
+`analyze_trade_parallelism()` returns a timeseries dataframe with an "open_trades" column, specifying the number of open trades for each candle.
+
+
+```python
+from freqtrade.data.btanalysis import analyze_trade_parallelism
+
+# Analyze the above
+parallel_trades = analyze_trade_parallelism(trades, '5m')
+
+
+parallel_trades.plot()
+```
+
+## Plot results
+
+Freqtrade offers interactive plotting capabilities based on plotly.
+
+
+```python
+from freqtrade.plot.plotting import  generate_candlestick_graph
+# Limit graph period to keep plotly quick and reactive
+
+data_red = data['2019-06-01':'2019-06-10']
+# Generate candlestick graph
+graph = generate_candlestick_graph(pair=pair,
+                                   data=data_red,
+                                   trades=trades,
+                                   indicators1=['sma20', 'ema50', 'ema55'],
+                                   indicators2=['rsi', 'macd', 'macdsignal', 'macdhist']
+                                  )
+
+
+
+```
+
+
+```python
+# Show graph inline
+# graph.show()
+
+# Render graph in a seperate window
+graph.show(renderer="browser")
+
+```
+
+Feel free to submit an issue or Pull Request enhancing this document if you would like to share ideas on how to best analyze the data.

+# Telegram usage
+
+## Setup your Telegram bot
+
+Below we explain how to create your Telegram Bot, and how to get your
+Telegram user id.
+
+### 1. Create your Telegram bot
+
+Start a chat with the [Telegram BotFather](https://telegram.me/BotFather)
+
+Send the message `/newbot`. 
+
+*BotFather response:*
+
+> Alright, a new bot. How are we going to call it? Please choose a name for your bot.
+
+Choose the public name of your bot (e.x. `Freqtrade bot`)
+
+*BotFather response:*
+
+> Good. Now let's choose a username for your bot. It must end in `bot`. Like this, for example: TetrisBot or tetris_bot.
+
+Choose the name id of your bot and send it to the BotFather (e.g. "`My_own_freqtrade_bot`")
+
+*BotFather response:*
+
+> Done! Congratulations on your new bot. You will find it at `t.me/yourbots_name_bot`. You can now add a description, about section and profile picture for your bot, see /help for a list of commands. By the way, when you've finished creating your cool bot, ping our Bot Support if you want a better username for it. Just make sure the bot is fully operational before you do this.
+
+> Use this token to access the HTTP API: `22222222:APITOKEN`
+
+> For a description of the Bot API, see this page: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api Father bot will return you the token (API key)
+
+Copy the API Token (`22222222:APITOKEN` in the above example) and keep use it for the config parameter `token`.
+
+Don't forget to start the conversation with your bot, by clicking `/START` button
+
+### 2. Get your user id
+
+Talk to the [userinfobot](https://telegram.me/userinfobot)
+
+Get your "Id", you will use it for the config parameter `chat_id`.
+
+## Telegram commands
+
+Per default, the Telegram bot shows predefined commands. Some commands
+are only available by sending them to the bot. The table below list the
+official commands. You can ask at any moment for help with `/help`.
+
+|  Command | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `/start` | | Starts the trader
+| `/stop` | | Stops the trader
+| `/stopbuy` | | Stops the trader from opening new trades. Gracefully closes open trades according to their rules.
+| `/reload_conf` | | Reloads the configuration file
+| `/show_config` | | Shows part of the current configuration with relevant settings to operation
+| `/status` | | Lists all open trades
+| `/status table` | | List all open trades in a table format. Pending buy orders are marked with an asterisk (*) Pending sell orders are marked with a double asterisk (**)
+| `/count` | | Displays number of trades used and available
+| `/profit` | | Display a summary of your profit/loss from close trades and some stats about your performance
+| `/forcesell <trade_id>` | | Instantly sells the given trade  (Ignoring `minimum_roi`).
+| `/forcesell all` | | Instantly sells all open trades (Ignoring `minimum_roi`).
+| `/forcebuy <pair> [rate]` | | Instantly buys the given pair. Rate is optional. (`forcebuy_enable` must be set to True)
+| `/performance` | | Show performance of each finished trade grouped by pair
+| `/balance` | | Show account balance per currency
+| `/daily <n>` | 7 | Shows profit or loss per day, over the last n days
+| `/whitelist` | | Show the current whitelist
+| `/blacklist [pair]` | | Show the current blacklist, or adds a pair to the blacklist.
+| `/edge` | | Show validated pairs by Edge if it is enabled.
+| `/help` | | Show help message
+| `/version` | | Show version
+
+## Telegram commands in action
+
+Below, example of Telegram message you will receive for each command.
+
+### /start
+
+> **Status:** `running`
+
+### /stop
+
+> `Stopping trader ...`
+> **Status:** `stopped`
+
+### /stopbuy
+
+> **status:** `Setting max_open_trades to 0. Run /reload_conf to reset.`
+
+Prevents the bot from opening new trades by temporarily setting "max_open_trades" to 0. Open trades will be handled via their regular rules (ROI / Sell-signal, stoploss, ...).
+
+After this, give the bot time to close off open trades (can be checked via `/status table`).
+Once all positions are sold, run `/stop` to completely stop the bot.
+
+`/reload_conf` resets "max_open_trades" to the value set in the configuration and resets this command. 
+
+!!! Warning
+   The stop-buy signal is ONLY active while the bot is running, and is not persisted anyway, so restarting the bot will cause this to reset.
+
+### /status
+
+For each open trade, the bot will send you the following message.
+
+> **Trade ID:** `123` `(since 1 days ago)`  
+> **Current Pair:** CVC/BTC  
+> **Open Since:** `1 days ago`  
+> **Amount:** `26.64180098`  
+> **Open Rate:** `0.00007489`  
+> **Current Rate:** `0.00007489`

+# 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.
+
+```
+├── backtest_results
+├── data

+├── hyperopts
+│   ├── sample_hyperopt_advanced.py
+│   ├── sample_hyperopt_loss.py
+│   └── sample_hyperopt.py
+├── notebooks
+│   └── strategy_analysis_example.ipynb
+├── plot
+└── strategies
+    └── sample_strategy.py
+```
+
+## Create new config
+
+Creates a new configuration file, asking some questions which are important selections for a configuration.
+
+```
+usage: freqtrade new-config [-h] [-c PATH]
+
+optional arguments:
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  -c PATH, --config PATH
+                        Specify configuration file (default: `config.json`). Multiple --config options may be used. Can be set to `-`
+                        to read config from stdin.
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    Only vital questions are asked. Freqtrade offers a lot more configuration possibilities, which are listed in the [Configuration documentation](configuration.md#configuration-parameters)
+
+### Create config examples
+
+```
+$ freqtrade new-config --config config_binance.json
+
+? Do you want to enable Dry-run (simulated trades)?  Yes
+? Please insert your stake currency: BTC
+? Please insert your stake amount: 0.05
+? Please insert max_open_trades (Integer or 'unlimited'): 5
+? Please insert your ticker interval: 15m
+? Please insert your display Currency (for reporting): USD
+? Select exchange  binance
+? Do you want to enable Telegram?  No
+```
+
+## Create new strategy
+
+Creates a new strategy from a template similar to SampleStrategy.
+The file will be named inline with your class name, and will not overwrite existing files.
+
+Results will be located in `user_data/strategies/<strategyclassname>.py`.
+
+``` output
+usage: freqtrade new-strategy [-h] [--userdir PATH] [-s NAME]
+                              [--template {full,minimal}]
+
+optional arguments:
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  --userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH
+                        Path to userdata directory.
+  -s NAME, --strategy NAME
+                        Specify strategy class name which will be used by the
+                        bot.
+  --template {full,minimal}
+                        Use a template which is either `minimal` or `full`
+                        (containing multiple sample indicators). Default:
+                        `full`.
+
+```
+
+### Sample usage of new-strategy
+
+```bash
+freqtrade new-strategy --strategy AwesomeStrategy
+```
+
+With custom user directory
+
+```bash
+freqtrade new-strategy --userdir ~/.freqtrade/ --strategy AwesomeStrategy
+```
+
+## Create new hyperopt

+## List Strategies and List Hyperopts
+
+Use the `list-strategies` subcommand to see all strategies in one particular directory and the `list-hyperopts` subcommand to list custom Hyperopts.
+
+These subcommands are useful for finding problems in your environment with loading strategies or hyperopt classes: modules with strategies or hyperopt classes that contain errors and failed to load are printed in red (LOAD FAILED), while strategies or hyperopt classes with duplicate names are printed in yellow (DUPLICATE NAME).

+
+!!! Warning
+    Using these commands will try to load all python files from a directory. This can be a security risk if untrusted files reside in this directory, since all module-level code is executed.
+
+Example: Search default strategies and hyperopts directories (within the default userdir).
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade list-strategies
+freqtrade list-hyperopts
+```
+
+Example: Search strategies and hyperopts directory within the userdir.
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade list-strategies --userdir ~/.freqtrade/
+freqtrade list-hyperopts --userdir ~/.freqtrade/
+```
+
+Example: Search dedicated strategy path.
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade list-strategies --strategy-path ~/.freqtrade/strategies/
+```
+
+Example: Search dedicated hyperopt path.
+
+``` bash

+
+## 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:

+
+By default, only active pairs/markets are shown. Active pairs/markets are those that can currently be traded
+on the exchange. The see the list of all pairs/markets (not only the active ones), use the `-a`/`-all` option.
+
+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:
