+## (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.
+1. Access to resources for cross-platform development and testing.
+1. Time to devote to the project regularly.
+
+Being a Committer does not grant write permission on `develop` or `master` for security reasons (Users trust FreqTrade with their Exchange API keys).
+
+After being Committer for some time, a Committer may be named Core Committer and given full repository access.

+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, you want to test it against
+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 (pair) from your config file
-and load static tickers located in 
-[/freqtrade/tests/testdata](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/tree/develop/freqtrade/tests/testdata).  
-If the 5 min and 1 min ticker for the crypto-currencies to test is not 
-already in the `testdata` folder, backtesting will download them 
-automatically. Testdata files will not be updated until you specify it.
+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 backtesting is very easy with freqtrade.
+The result of backtesting will confirm if your bot has better odds of making a profit than a loss.
 
 ### Run a backtesting against the currencies listed in your config file
+
 #### With 5 min tickers (Per default)
 
 ```bash
-python3 ./freqtrade/main.py backtesting
+freqtrade backtesting
 ```
 
 #### With 1 min tickers
 
 ```bash
-python3 ./freqtrade/main.py backtesting --ticker-interval 1m
-```
-
-#### Update cached pairs with the latest data
-
-```bash
-python3 ./freqtrade/main.py backtesting --refresh-pairs-cached
-```
-
-#### With live data (do not alter your testdata files)
-
-```bash
-python3 ./freqtrade/main.py backtesting --live
+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
-python3 ./freqtrade/main.py backtesting --datadir freqtrade/tests/testdata-20180101
+freqtrade --datadir user_data/data/bittrex-20180101 backtesting
 ```
 
 #### With a (custom) strategy file
 
 ```bash
-python3 ./freqtrade/main.py -s TestStrategy backtesting
+freqtrade -s SampleStrategy backtesting
 ```
 
-Where `-s TestStrategy` refers to the class name within the strategy file `test_strategy.py` found in the `freqtrade/user_data/strategies` directory
+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
-python3 ./freqtrade/main.py backtesting --export trades
+freqtrade backtesting --export trades
 ```
 
-The exported trades can be read using the following code for manual analysis, or can be used by the plotting script `plot_dataframe.py` in the scripts folder.
-
-``` python
-import json
-from pathlib import Path
-import pandas as pd
-
-filename=Path('user_data/backtest_data/backtest-result.json')
-
-with filename.open() as file:
-        data = json.load(file)
-
-columns = ["pair", "profit", "opents", "closets", "index", "duration",
-           "open_rate", "close_rate", "open_at_end", "sell_reason"]
-df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=columns)
-
-df['opents'] = pd.to_datetime(df['opents'],
-                              unit='s',
-                              utc=True,
-                              infer_datetime_format=True
-                             )
-df['closets'] = pd.to_datetime(df['closets'],
-                               unit='s',
-                               utc=True,
-                               infer_datetime_format=True
-                              )
-```
-
-If you have some ideas for interesting / helpful backtest data analysis, feel free to submit a PR so the community can benefit from it.
+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
-python3 ./freqtrade/main.py backtesting --export trades --export-filename=backtest_teststrategy.json
+freqtrade backtesting --export trades --export-filename=backtest_samplestrategy.json
 ```
 
-#### Running backtest with smaller testset
+#### Supplying custom fee value
 
-Use the `--timerange` argument to change how much of the testset
-you want to use. The last N ticks/timeframes will be used.
-
-Example:
+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 `--fee 0.001` to supply this value to backtesting.
+This fee must be a percentage, and will be applied twice (once for trade entry, and once for trade exit).
 
 ```bash
-python3 ./freqtrade/main.py backtesting --timerange=-200
+freqtrade backtesting --fee 0.001
 ```
 
-#### Advanced use of timerange
 
-Doing `--timerange=-200` will get the last 200 timeframes
-from your inputdata. You can also specify specific dates,
-or a range span indexed by start and stop.
+#### 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 last 123 tickframes of data: `--timerange=-123`
-- Use first 123 tickframes of data: `--timerange=123-`
-- Use tickframes from line 123 through 456: `--timerange=123-456`
 - 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`
 
-#### Downloading new set of ticker data
-
-To download new set of backtesting ticker data, you can use a download script.
-
-If you are using Binance for example:
-
-- create a folder `user_data/data/binance` and copy `pairs.json` in that folder.
-- update the `pairs.json` 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
-```
-
-Then run:
-
-```bash
-python scripts/download_backtest_data.py --exchange binance
-```
-
-This will download ticker data for all the currency pairs you defined in `pairs.json`.
-
-- To use a different folder than the exchange specific default, use `--export user_data/data/some_directory`.
-- To change the exchange used to download the tickers, use `--exchange`. Default is `bittrex`.
-- To use `pairs.json` from some other folder, use `--pairs-file some_other_dir/pairs.json`.
-- To download ticker data for only 10 days, use `--days 10`.
-- Use `--timeframes` to specify which tickers to download. Default is `--timeframes 1m 5m` which will download 1-minute and 5-minute tickers.

-We understand the bot has made `419` trades for an average duration of
-`52.9` min, with a performance of `-0.41%` (loss), that means it has 
-lost a total of `-0.00348593 BTC`.
+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.
 
-As you will see your strategy performance will be influenced by your buy 
-strategy, your sell strategy, and also by the `minimal_roi` and

+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`.
 
-As for an 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

+
+### 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%)
+- 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 backtest multiple strategies, a list of Strategies can be provided.
+To compare multiple strategies, a list of Strategies can be provided to backtesting.

-# Bot Optimization
-
-This page explains where to customize your strategies, and add new
-indicators.
-
-## Table of Contents
-
-- [Install a custom strategy file](#install-a-custom-strategy-file)
-- [Customize your strategy](#change-your-strategy)
-- [Add more Indicator](#add-more-indicator)
-- [Where is the default strategy](#where-is-the-default-strategy)
-
-Since the version `0.16.0` the bot allows using custom strategy file.
-
-## Install a custom strategy file
-
-This is very simple. Copy paste your strategy file into the folder
-`user_data/strategies`.
-
-Let assume you have a class called `AwesomeStrategy` in the file `awesome-strategy.py`:
-
-1. Move your file into `user_data/strategies` (you should have `user_data/strategies/awesome-strategy.py`
-2. Start the bot with the param `--strategy AwesomeStrategy` (the parameter is the class name)
-
-```bash
-python3 ./freqtrade/main.py --strategy AwesomeStrategy
-```
-
-## Change your strategy
-
-The bot includes a default strategy file. However, we recommend you to
-use your own file to not have to lose your parameters every time the default
-strategy file will be updated on Github. Put your custom strategy file
-into the folder `user_data/strategies`.
-
-A strategy file contains all the information needed to build a good strategy:
-
-- Buy strategy rules
-- Sell strategy rules
-- Minimal ROI recommended
-- Stoploss recommended
-
-The bot also include a sample strategy called `TestStrategy` you can update: `user_data/strategies/test_strategy.py`.
-You can test it with the parameter: `--strategy TestStrategy`
-
-``` bash
-python3 ./freqtrade/main.py --strategy AwesomeStrategy
-```
-
-### Specify custom strategy location
-
-If you want to use a strategy from a different folder you can pass `--strategy-path`
-
-```bash
-python3 ./freqtrade/main.py --strategy AwesomeStrategy --strategy-path /some/folder
-```
-
-**For the following section we will use the [user_data/strategies/test_strategy.py](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/user_data/strategies/test_strategy.py)
-file as reference.**
-
-### Buy strategy
-
-Edit the method `populate_buy_trend()` into your strategy file to update your buy strategy.
-
-Sample from `user_data/strategies/test_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[
-        (
-            (dataframe['adx'] > 30) &
-            (dataframe['tema'] <= dataframe['bb_middleband']) &
-            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['tema'].shift(1))
-        ),
-        'buy'] = 1
-
-    return dataframe
-```
-
-### Sell strategy
-
-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.
-
-Sample from `user_data/strategies/test_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[
-        (
-            (dataframe['adx'] > 70) &
-            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['bb_middleband']) &
-            (dataframe['tema'] < dataframe['tema'].shift(1))
-        ),
-        'sell'] = 1
-    return dataframe
-```
-
-## Add more Indicators
-
-As you have seen, 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.
-
-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
-```
-
-### 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`.
-
-### Want more indicator examples
-
-Look into the [user_data/strategies/test_strategy.py](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/user_data/strategies/test_strategy.py).
-Then uncomment indicators you need.
-
-### Where is the default strategy?
-
-The default buy strategy is located in the file
-[freqtrade/default_strategy.py](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/strategy/default_strategy.py).
-
-### 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/enQtMjQ5NTM0OTYzMzY3LWMxYzE3M2MxNDdjMGM3ZTYwNzFjMGIwZGRjNTc3ZGU3MGE3NzdmZGMwNmU3NDM5ZTNmM2Y3NjRiNzk4NmM4OGE) which is a great place to get and/or share ideas.

+### How to specify which configuration file be used?
 
-The bot allows you to select which config file you want to use. Per 
-default, the bot will load the file `./config.json`
+The bot allows you to select which configuration file you want to use by means of
+the `-c/--config` command line option:
 
 ```bash
-python3 ./freqtrade/main.py -c path/far/far/away/config.json 
+freqtrade -c path/far/far/away/config.json
 ```
 
-### How to use --strategy?
+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 secrete
+for the Exchange you use for trading, specify default configuration file with
+empty key and secrete values while running in the Dry Mode (which does not actually
+require them):
+
+```bash
+freqtrade -c ./config.json
+```
+
+and specify both configuration files when running in the normal Live Trade Mode:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade -c ./config.json -c path/to/secrets/keys.config.json
+```
+
+This could help you hide your private Exchange key and Exchange secrete 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.

 # Configure the bot
 
-This page explains how to configure your `config.json` file.
+Freqtrade has many configurable features and possibilities.
+By default, these settings are configured via the configuration file (see below).
 
-## Table of Contents
+## The Freqtrade configuration file
 
-- [Bot commands](#bot-commands)
-- [Backtesting commands](#backtesting-commands)
-- [Hyperopt commands](#hyperopt-commands)
+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).
 
-## Setup config.json
+Per default, the bot loads the configuration from the `config.json` file, located in the current working directory.
 
-We recommend to copy and use the `config.json.example` as a template
+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 table below will list all configuration parameters. 
+The Freqtrade configuration file is to be written in the JSON format.
 
-|  Command | Default | Mandatory | Description |
-|----------|---------|----------|-------------|
-| `max_open_trades` | 3 | Yes | Number of trades open your bot will have.
-| `stake_currency` | BTC | Yes | Crypto-currency used for trading.
-| `stake_amount` | 0.05 | Yes | Amount of crypto-currency your bot will use for each trade. Per default, the bot will use (0.05 BTC x 3) = 0.15 BTC in total will be always engaged. Set it to 'unlimited' to allow the bot to use all avaliable balance.
-| `ticker_interval` | [1m, 5m, 30m, 1h, 1d] | No | The ticker interval to use (1min, 5 min, 30 min, 1 hour or 1 day). Default is 5 minutes
-| `fiat_display_currency` | USD | Yes | Fiat currency used to show your profits. More information below. 
-| `dry_run` | true | Yes | Define if the bot must be in Dry-run or production mode. 
-| `minimal_roi` | See below | No | Set the threshold in percent the bot will use to sell a trade. More information below. If set, this parameter will override `minimal_roi` from your strategy file. 
-| `stoploss` | -0.10 | No | Value of the stoploss in percent used by the bot. More information below. If set, this parameter will override `stoploss` from your strategy file. 
-| `trailing_stoploss` | false | No | Enables trailing stop-loss (based on `stoploss` in either configuration or strategy file).
-| `trailing_stoploss_positve` | 0 | No | Changes stop-loss once profit has been reached.

+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.
 
-The definition of each config parameters is in [misc.py](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/misc.py#L205).
+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.

-`stake_amount` is an amount of crypto-currency your bot will use for each trade.
+The `stake_amount` configuration parameter is an amount of crypto-currency your bot will use for each trade.
 The minimal value is 0.0005. If there is not enough crypto-currency in
 the account an exception is generated.
-To allow the bot to trade all the avaliable `stake_currency` in your account set `stake_amount` = `unlimited`.
-In this case a trade amount is calclulated as `currency_balanse / (max_open_trades - current_open_trades)`.
+To allow the bot to trade all the available `stake_currency` in your account set

+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

+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.
 
 ### Understand stoploss
 
-`stoploss` 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.

+Go to the [trailing stoploss Documentation](stoploss.md#trailing-stop-loss) for details on trailing stoploss.
 
 ### Understand initial_state
 
-`initial_state` is an optional field that defines the initial application 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.
+

+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.

-`ask_last_balance` sets the bidding price. Value `0.0` will use `ask` price, `1.0` will
+The `ask_last_balance` configuration parameter sets the bidding price. Value `0.0` will use `ask` price, `1.0` will
 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.
 
-### What values for exchange.name?
+### Understand order_types
 
-Freqtrade is based on [CCXT library](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt) that supports 115 cryptocurrency
+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.
+
+Syntax for Strategy:
+
+```python
+order_types = {
+    "buy": "limit",
+    "sell": "limit",
+    "emergencysell": "market",
+    "stoploss": "market",
+    "stoploss_on_exchange": False,
+    "stoploss_on_exchange_interval": 60
+}
+```
+
+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 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.

+### Dynamic Pairlists
+
+Dynamic pairlists select pairs for you based on the logic configured.
+The bot runs against all pairs (with that stake) on the exchange, and a number of assets

+
+By default, the `StaticPairList` method is used.
+The Pairlist method is configured as `pair_whitelist` parameter under the `exchange`
+section of the configuration.
+
+**Available Pairlist methods:**
+
+* `StaticPairList`
+  * It uses configuration from `exchange.pair_whitelist` and `exchange.pair_blacklist`.
+* `VolumePairList`
+  * It selects `number_assets` top pairs based on `sort_key`, which can be one of
+`askVolume`, `bidVolume` and `quoteVolume`, defaults to `quoteVolume`.
+  * There is a possibility to filter low-value coins that would not allow setting a stop loss
+(set `precision_filter` parameter to `true` for this).
+
+Example:
+
+```json

+# 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.
+
+## 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/"
+}
+```

+# Data Downloading
+
+## Getting data for backtesting and hyperopt
+
+To download data (candles / OHLCV) needed for backtesting and hyperoptimization use the `freqtrade download-data` command.
+
+If no additional parameter is specified, freqtrade will download data for `"1m"` and `"5m"` timeframes for the last 30 days.
+Exchange and pairs will come from `config.json` (if specified using `-c/--config`).
+Otherwise `--exchange` becomes mandatory.
+
+!!! 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.
+
+### 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.
+
+### 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.
+
+## Next step
+
+Great, you now have backtest data downloaded, so you can now start [backtesting](backtesting.md) your strategy.

+# 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

+
+##### 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`
+

+
+
+## 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 the an instance of the bot (`self._freqtrade`), as well as the configuration (`self._config`), and initiates both `_blacklist` and `_whitelist`.
+
+```python
+        self._freqtrade = freqtrade
+        self._config = config
+        self._whitelist = self._config['exchange']['pair_whitelist']
+        self._blacklist = self._config['exchange'].get('pair_blacklist', [])
+```
+
+
+Now, let's step through the methods which require actions:
+
+#### configuration
+
+Configuration for PairListProvider is done in the bot configuration file in the element `"pairlist"`.
+This Pairlist-object may contain a `"config"` dict 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"`.
+
+#### refresh_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.
+
+Assign the resulting whiteslist to `self._whitelist` and `self._blacklist` respectively. These will then be used to run the bot in this iteration. Pairs with open trades will be added to the whitelist to have the sell-methods run correctly.
+
+Please also run `self._validate_whitelist(pairs)` and to check and remove pairs with inactive markets. This function is available in the Parent class (`StaticPairList`) and should ideally not be overwritten.
+
+##### sample
+
+``` python
+    def refresh_pairlist(self) -> None:
+        # Generate dynamic whitelist
+        pairs = self._gen_pair_whitelist(self._config['stake_currency'], self._sort_key)
+        # Validate whitelist to only have active market pairs
+        self._whitelist = self._validate_whitelist(pairs)[:self._number_pairs]
+```
+
+#### _gen_pair_whitelist
+
+This is a simple method used by `VolumePairList` - however serves as a good example.
+It implements caching (`@cached(TTLCache(maxsize=1, ttl=1800))`) as well as a configuration option to allow different (but similar) strategies to work with the same PairListProvider.
+
+## 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["date"].tail(1))
+print(datetime.utcnow())
+```
+
+``` output
+19   2019-06-08 00:00:00+00:00
+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).
+
+## 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 user_data/notebooks/strategy_analysis_example.ipynb
+jupyter nbconvert --ClearOutputPreprocessor.enabled=True --to markdown user_data/notebooks/strategy_analysis_example.ipynb --stdout > docs/strategy_analysis_example.md
+```
+
+## Creating a release
+
+This part of the documentation is aimed at maintainers, and shows how to create a release.
+
+### Create release branch
+
+``` bash
+# make sure you're in develop branch
+git checkout develop
+
+# create new branch
+git checkout -b new_release
+```
+
+* 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 both master and develop are up-todate!.
+
+``` bash
+# Needs to be done before merging / pulling that branch.
+git log --oneline --no-decorate --no-merges master..develop
+```
+
+### 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.

+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 --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite --strategy MyAwesomeStrategy
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    db-url defaults to `sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite` but it defaults to `sqlite://` if `dry_run=True` is being used.
+    To override this behaviour use a custom db-url value: i.e.: `--db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite`
+
+!!! Note
+    All available bot command line parameters can be added to the end of the `docker run` command.
+
+### 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 --strategy AwsomelyProfitableStrategy backtesting
+```
+
+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:
+
+#### enabled
+If true, then Edge will run periodically.
+
+(defaults to false)
+
+#### process_throttle_secs
+How often should Edge run in seconds?
+
+(defaults to 3600 so one hour)
+
+#### calculate_since_number_of_days
+Number of days of data against which Edge calculates Win Rate, Risk Reward and Expectancy
+Note that it downloads historical data so increasing this number would lead to slowing down the bot.
+
+(defaults to 7)
+
+#### capital_available_percentage
+This is the percentage of the total capital on exchange in stake currency.
+
+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.
+
+(defaults to 0.5)
+
+#### allowed_risk
+Percentage of allowed risk per trade.
+
+(defaults to 0.01 so 1%)
+
+#### stoploss_range_min
+
+Minimum stoploss.
+
+(defaults to -0.01)
+
+#### stoploss_range_max
+
+Maximum stoploss.
+
+(defaults to -0.10)
+
+#### 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.
+Note than having a smaller step means having a bigger range which could lead to slow calculation.
+
+If you set this parameter to -0.001, you then slow down the Edge calculation by a factor of 10.
+
+(defaults to -0.01)
+
+#### minimum_winrate
+
+It filters out pairs which don't have at least minimum_winrate.
+
+This comes handy if you want to be conservative and don't comprise win rate in favour of risk reward ratio.
+
+(defaults to 0.60)
+
+#### minimum_expectancy
+
+It filters out pairs which have the expectancy lower than this number.
+
+Having an expectancy of 0.20 means if you put 10$ on a trade you expect a 12$ return.
+
+(defaults to 0.20)
+
+#### 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.
+
+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.
+
+(defaults to 10, it is highly recommended not to decrease this number)
+
+#### 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.
+
+**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.).
+
+(defaults to 1 day, i.e. to 60 * 24 = 1440 minutes)
+
+#### 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.
+
+(defaults to false)
+
+## 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) |

+
+### Update cached pairs with the latest data
+
+Edge requires historic data the same way as backtesting does.
+Please refer to the [download section](backtesting.md#Getting-data-for-backtesting-and-hyperopt) of the documentation for details.
+
+### Precising stoploss range
+
+```bash
+freqtrade edge --stoplosses=-0.01,-0.1,-0.001 #min,max,step
+```
+
+### Advanced use of timerange
+
+```bash
+freqtrade edge --timerange=20181110-20181113
+```
+
+Doing `--timerange=-20190901` will get all available data until September 1st (excluding September 1st 2019).
+
+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`

+### The bot does not start
+
+Running the bot with `freqtrade --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!

 # 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.

+Hyperopt requires historic data to be available, just as backtesting does.
+To learn how to get data for the pairs and exchange you're interrested 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
-We recommend you start by taking a look at `hyperopt.py` file located in [freqtrade/optimize](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/optimize/hyperopt.py)
 
-### Configure your Guards and Triggers
-There are two places you need to change to add a new buy strategy for testing:
-- Inside [populate_buy_trend()](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/optimize/hyperopt.py#L278-L294).
-- Inside [hyperopt_space()](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/freqtrade/optimize/hyperopt.py#L218-L229) 
-and the associated methods `indicator_space`, `roi_space`, `stoploss_space`.
+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/user_data/hyperopts/sample_hyperopt.py).
 
-There you have two different type 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".
+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.
+
+### Checklist on all tasks / possibilities in hyperopt
+
+Depending on the space you want to optimize, only some of the below are required:
+
+* fill `populate_indicators` - probably a copy from your strategy
+* 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
+
+Optional, but recommended:
+
+* 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
+
+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 more than 4 entries in the ROI table)
+* `stoploss_space` - for custom stoploss optimization (if you need the range for the stoploss parameter in the optimization hyperspace that differs from default)
+
+### 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, ie. changed the contents of
-`populate_buy_trend()` method you have to update the `guards` and 
-`triggers` hyperopts must use.
+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`.

+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)
+
+### 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.

+## Execute Hyperopt
+
+Once you have updated your hyperopt configuration you can run it.

+freqtrade -c config.json hyperopt --customhyperopt <hyperoptname> -e 5000 --spaces all
+```
+
+Use  `<hyperoptname>` as the name of the custom hyperopt used.
+
 The `-e` flag will set how many evaluations hyperopt will do. We recommend
 running at least several thousand evaluations.
 
+The `--spaces all` flag 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

+### 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`.

+{   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 can 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/user_data/hyperopts/sample_hyperopt_advanced.py).
+
+### Understand Hyperopt Stoploss results
+
+If you are optimizing stoploss values (i.e. if optimization search-space contains 'all' 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 can 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/user_data/hyperopts/sample_hyperopt_advanced.py).
+
+### 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.

+### API keys
+
+Before running your bot in production you will need to setup few
+external API. In production mode, the bot will require valid Exchange API
+credentials. We also recommend a [Telegram bot](telegram-usage.md#setup-your-telegram-bot) (optional but recommended).
+
+### Setup your exchange account
+
+You will need to create API Keys (Usually you get `key` and `secret`) from the Exchange website and insert this into the appropriate fields in the configuration or when asked by the installation script.
+
+## Quick start
+
+Freqtrade provides a Linux/MacOS script to install all dependencies and help you to configure the bot.
+
+!!! Note
+    Python3.6 or higher and the corresponding pip are assumed to be available. The install-script will warn and stop if that's not the case.

-## Manual installation - Linux/MacOS
-
-The following steps are made for Linux/MacOS environment
-
-### 1. Clone the repo
-
-```bash
-git clone git@github.com:freqtrade/freqtrade.git
-git checkout develop
-cd freqtrade
-```
-
-### 2. Create the config file
-
-Switch `"dry_run": true,`
-
-```bash
-cp config.json.example config.json
-vi config.json
-```
-
-### 3. Build your docker image and run it
-
-```bash
-docker build -t freqtrade .
-docker run --rm -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
-```
-
-------
-
-## Automatic Installation - Docker
-
-Start by downloading Docker for your platform:
-
-* [Mac](https://www.docker.com/products/docker#/mac)
-* [Windows](https://www.docker.com/products/docker#/windows)
-* [Linux](https://www.docker.com/products/docker#/linux)
-
-Once you have Docker installed, simply create the config file (e.g. `config.json`) and then create a Docker image for `freqtrade` using the Dockerfile in this repo.
-
-### 1. Prepare the Bot
-
-#### 1.1. Clone the git repository
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
-```
-
-#### 1.2. (Optional) Checkout the develop branch
-
-```bash
-git checkout develop
-```
-
-#### 1.3. Go into the new directory
-
-```bash
-cd freqtrade
-```
-
-#### 1.4. Copy `config.json.example` to `config.json`
-
-```bash
-cp -n config.json.example config.json
-```
-
-> To edit the config please refer to the [Bot Configuration](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docs/configuration.md) page.
-
-#### 1.5. Create your database file *(optional - the bot will create it if it is missing)*
-
-Production
-
-```bash
-touch tradesv3.sqlite
-````
-
-Dry-Run
-
-```bash
-touch tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite
-```
-
-### 2. Build the Docker image
-
-```bash
-cd freqtrade
-docker build -t freqtrade .
-```
-
-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.
-
-### 3. Verify the Docker image
-
-After the build process you can verify that the image was created with:
-
-```bash
-docker images
-```
-
-### 4. 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 /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
-```
-
-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)
-
-In this example, the database will be created inside the docker instance and will be lost when you will refresh your image.
-
-### 5. 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).
-
-#### 5.1. Move your config file and database
-
-```bash
-mkdir ~/.freqtrade
-mv config.json ~/.freqtrade
-mv tradesv3.sqlite ~/.freqtrade
-```
-
-#### 5.2. Run the docker image
-
-```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 \
-  freqtrade --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite
-```
-
-NOTE: db-url defaults to `sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite` but it defaults to `sqlite://` if `dry_run=True` is being used.
-To override this behaviour use a custom db-url value: i.e.: `--db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite`
-
-### 6. Monitor your Docker instance
-
-You can then 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
-```
-
-You do not need to rebuild the image for configuration changes, it will suffice to edit `config.json` and restart the container.
-
-### 7. Backtest with docker
-
-The following assumes that the above steps (1-4) 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 --strategy AwsomelyProfitableStrategy backtesting
-```
-
-Head over to the [Backtesting Documentation](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docs/backtesting.md) for more details.
-
-*Note*: Additional parameters can be appended after the image name (`freqtrade` in the above example).

 ## 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.
 
-### Requirements
-
-Click each one for install guide:
-
-* [Python 3.6.x](http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/installation/), note the bot was not tested on Python >= 3.7.x
-* [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)
+!!! Note
+    Python3.6 or higher and the corresponding pip are assumed to be available.
 
 ### Linux - Ubuntu 16.04
 
-#### 1. Install Python 3.6, Git, and wget
+#### Install necessary dependencies
 
 ```bash
-sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/python-3.6
 sudo apt-get update
-sudo apt-get install python3.6 python3.6-venv python3.6-dev build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config make wget git
+sudo apt-get install build-essential git
 ```
 
-#### 2. Install TA-Lib
+#### Raspberry Pi / Raspbian
+
+Before installing FreqTrade on a Raspberry Pi running the official Raspbian Image, make sure you have at least Python 3.6 installed. The default image only provides Python 3.5. Probably the easiest way to get a recent version of python is [miniconda](https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/).
+
+The following assumes that miniconda3 is installed and available in your environment. Since the last miniconda3 installation file uses python 3.4, we will update to python 3.6 on this installation.
+It's recommended to use (mini)conda for this as installation/compilation of `numpy` and `pandas` takes a long time.
+
+Additional package to install on your Raspbian, `libffi-dev` required by cryptography (from python-telegram-bot).
+
+``` bash
+conda config --add channels rpi
+conda install python=3.6
+conda create -n freqtrade python=3.6
+conda activate freqtrade
+conda install pandas numpy
+
+sudo apt install libffi-dev
+python3 -m pip install -r requirements-common.txt
+python3 -m pip install -e .
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    This 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.
+

-### MacOS
+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)

 ## Plot price and indicators
-Usage for the price plotter:
+
+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)

+  --indicators1 INDICATORS1 [INDICATORS1 ...]
+                        Set indicators from your strategy you want in the
+                        first row of the graph. Space-separated list. Example:
+                        `ema3 ema5`. Default: `['sma', 'ema3', 'ema5']`.
+  --indicators2 INDICATORS2 [INDICATORS2 ...]
+                        Set indicators from your strategy you want in the
+                        third row of the graph. Space-separated list. Example:
+                        `fastd fastk`. Default: `['macd', 'macdsignal']`.
+  --plot-limit INT      Specify tick limit for plotting. Notice: too high
+                        values cause huge files. Default: 750.
+  --db-url PATH         Override trades database URL, this is useful in custom
+                        deployments (default: `sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite` for
+                        Live Run mode, `sqlite://` for Dry Run).
+  --trade-source {DB,file}
+                        Specify the source for trades (Can be DB or file
+                        (backtest file)) Default: file
+  --export EXPORT       Export backtest results, argument are: trades.

+                        result.json`). Requires `--export` to be set as well.
+                        Example: `--export-filename=user_data/backtest_results
+                        /backtest_today.json`
+  --timerange TIMERANGE
+                        Specify what timerange of data to use.
+
 ```
 
-Example
-```
-python scripts/plot_dataframe.py -p BTC/ETH
+Example:
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade plot-dataframe -p BTC/ETH
 ```
 
-The `-p` pair argument, can be used to specify what
-pair you would like to plot.
+The `-p/--pairs` argument can be used to specify pairs you would like to plot.
 
-**Advanced use**
+!!! Note
+    The `freqtrade plot-dataframe` subcommand generates one plot-file per pair.
 
-To plot the current live price use the `--live` flag:
-```
-python scripts/plot_dataframe.py -p BTC/ETH --live
+Specify custom indicators.
+Use `--indicators1` for the main plot and `--indicators2` for the subplot below (if values are in a different range than prices).
+
+!!! tip
+    You will almost certainly want to specify a custom strategy! This can be done by adding `-s Classname` / `--strategy ClassName` to the command.
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade --strategy AwesomeStrategy plot-dataframe -p BTC/ETH --indicators1 sma ema --indicators2 macd
 ```
 
-To plot a timerange (to zoom in):
-```
-python scripts/plot_dataframe.py -p BTC/ETH --timerange=100-200
-```
-Timerange doesn't work with live data.
+### Further usage examples
 
-To plot trades stored in a database use `--db-url` argument:
-```
-python scripts/plot_dataframe.py --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.dry_run.sqlite -p BTC/ETH
+To plot multiple pairs, separate them with a space:
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade --strategy AwesomeStrategy plot-dataframe -p BTC/ETH XRP/ETH
 ```
 
-To plot a test strategy the strategy should have first be backtested. 
-The results may then be plotted with the -s argument:
+To plot a timerange (to zoom in)
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade --strategy AwesomeStrategy plot-dataframe -p BTC/ETH --timerange=20180801-20180805
 ```
-python scripts/plot_dataframe.py -s Strategy_Name -p BTC/ETH --datadir user_data/data/<exchange_name>/
+
+To plot trades stored in a database use `--db-url` in combination with `--trade-source DB`:
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade --strategy AwesomeStrategy plot-dataframe --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.dry_run.sqlite -p BTC/ETH --trade-source DB
+```
+
+To plot trades from a backtesting result, use `--export-filename <filename>`
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade --strategy AwesomeStrategy plot-dataframe --export-filename user_data/backtest_results/backtest-result.json -p BTC/ETH
 ```
 
 ## Plot profit
 
-The profit plotter show a picture with three plots:
+![plot-profit](assets/plot-profit.png)
+
+The `freqtrade plot-profit` subcommand shows an interactive graph with three plots:
+
 1) Average closing price for all pairs
 2) The summarized profit made by backtesting.
-   Note that this is not the real-world profit, but
-   more of an estimate.
-3) Each pair individually profit
+   Note that this is not the real-world profit, but more of an estimate.

+# 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/version` to check if the API is running correctly.
+
+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 --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
+
+|  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.

 ## 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, edit: 
->strategy/interface.py
-Look for the following section:
-```
-      # Check if dataframe is out of date
-        signal_date = arrow.get(latest['date'])
-        interval_minutes = constants.TICKER_INTERVAL_MINUTES[interval]
-        if signal_date < (arrow.utcnow().shift(minutes=-(interval_minutes * 2 + 5))):
-            logger.warning(
-                'Outdated history for pair %s. Last tick is %s minutes old',
-                pair,
-                (arrow.utcnow() - signal_date).seconds // 60
-            )
-            return False, False
-```
+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.
 
-You could Hash out the entire check as follows:
-```
-       # # Check if dataframe is out of date
-        # signal_date = arrow.get(latest['date'])
-        # interval_minutes = constants.TICKER_INTERVAL_MINUTES[interval]

-        #     )
-        #     return False, False
- ```
+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:
 
- Or inrease the timeout to offer a level of protection/alignment of this test to freqtrade in live.
- 
- As example, to allow an additional 30 minutes. "(interval_minutes * 2 + 5 + 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. This parameter is optional. If you use it in the configuration file, it will take over the
+`stoploss` value from the strategy file.
+
+## Stop Loss support
 
 At this stage the bot contains the following stoploss support modes:
 
-1. static stop loss, defined in either the strategy or configuration
-2. trailing stop loss, defined in the configuration
-3. trailing stop loss, custom positive loss, defined in configuration
+1. static stop loss, defined in either the strategy or configuration.
+2. trailing stop loss, defined in the configuration.
+3. trailing stop loss, custom positive loss, defined in configuration.
+
+!!! Note
+    All stoploss properties can be configured in either Strategy or configuration. Configuration values override strategy values.
+
+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 successfuly. 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. As an example in case of trailing stoploss if the order is on the exchange and the market is going up then the bot automatically cancels the previous stoploss order and put a new one with a stop value higher than previous one. It is clear that the bot cannot do it every 5 seconds otherwise it gets banned. So this parameter will tell the bot how often it should update the stoploss order. The default value is 60 (1 minute).
+
+!!! Note
+    Stoploss on exchange is only supported for Binance as of now.
 
 ## Static Stop Loss
 
 This is very simple, basically you define a stop loss of x in your strategy file or alternative in the configuration, which
 will overwrite the strategy definition. This will basically try to sell your asset, the second the loss exceeds the defined loss.
 
-## Trail Stop Loss

+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`.
+
+## 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).

+# Optimization
+
+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 `awesome-strategy.py`:
+
+1. Move your file into `user_data/strategies` (you should have `user_data/strategies/awesome-strategy.py`
+2. Start the bot with the param `--strategy AwesomeStrategy` (the parameter is the class name)
+
+```bash
+freqtrade --strategy AwesomeStrategy
+```
+
+## Change your strategy
+
+The bot includes a default strategy file. However, we recommend you to
+use your own file to not have to lose your parameters every time the default
+strategy file will be updated on Github. Put your custom strategy file
+into the directory `user_data/strategies`.
+
+Best copy the test-strategy and modify this copy to avoid having bot-updates override your changes.
+`cp  user_data/strategies/sample_strategy.py user_data/strategies/awesome-strategy.py`
+
+### 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 --strategy AwesomeStrategy
+```
+
+**For the following section we will use the [user_data/strategies/sample_strategy.py](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/user_data/strategies/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 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/user_data/strategies/sample_strategy.py).
+    Then uncomment indicators you need.
+
+### 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, ticker_interval)` - Currently cached ticker data for the pair, returns DataFrame or empty DataFrame.
+- `historic_ohlcv(pair, ticker_interval)` - Returns historical data stored on disk.
+- `get_pair_dataframe(pair, ticker_interval)` - 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,
+                                             ticker_interval=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 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
+
+### 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).
+
+### Where can i find a strategy template?
+
+The strategy template is located in the file
+[user_data/strategies/sample_strategy.py](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/user_data/strategies/sample_strategy.py).
+
+### Specify custom strategy location
+
+If you want to use a strategy from a different directory you can pass `--strategy-path`
+
+```bash
+freqtrade --strategy AwesomeStrategy --strategy-path /some/directory
+```
+
+### 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.
+
+## Setup
+
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+# Customize these according to your needs.
+
+# Define some constants
+ticker_interval = "5m"
+# Name of the strategy class
+strategy_name = 'SampleStrategy'
+# Path to user data
+user_data_dir = Path('user_data')
+# Location of the strategy
+strategy_location = user_data_dir / 'strategies'
+# Location of the data
+data_location = Path(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,
+                            ticker_interval=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({'strategy': strategy_name,
+                            'user_data_dir': user_data_dir,
+                            'strategy_path': strategy_location}).strategy
+
+# 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(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()
+```
+
+## 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")
+
+```

 # Telegram usage
 
-This page explains how to command your bot with Telegram.
+## Setup your Telegram bot
 
-## Pre-requisite
-To control your bot with Telegram, you need first to 
-[set up a Telegram bot](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docs/pre-requisite.md) 
-and add your Telegram API keys into your config file.
+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
+

 ### /stop

 > `Stopping trader ...`
 > **Status:** `stopped`
 
-## /status
+### /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.

+# 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.
+
+## List Exchanges
+
+Use the `list-exchanges` subcommand to see the exchanges available for the bot.
+
+```
+usage: freqtrade list-exchanges [-h] [-1] [-a]
+
+optional arguments:
+  -h, --help        show this help message and exit
+  -1, --one-column  Print output in one column.
+  -a, --all         Print all exchanges known to the ccxt library.
+```
+
+* Example: see exchanges available for the bot:
+```
+$ freqtrade list-exchanges
+Exchanges available for Freqtrade: _1btcxe, acx, allcoin, bequant, bibox, binance, binanceje, binanceus, bitbank, bitfinex, bitfinex2, bitkk, bitlish, bitmart, bittrex, bitz, bleutrade, btcalpha, btcmarkets, btcturk, buda, cex, cobinhood, coinbaseprime, coinbasepro, coinex, cointiger, coss, crex24, digifinex, dsx, dx, ethfinex, fcoin, fcoinjp, gateio, gdax, gemini, hitbtc2, huobipro, huobiru, idex, kkex, kraken, kucoin, kucoin2, kuna, lbank, mandala, mercado, oceanex, okcoincny, okcoinusd, okex, okex3, poloniex, rightbtc, theocean, tidebit, upbit, zb
+```
+
+* Example: see all exchanges supported by the ccxt library (including 'bad' ones, i.e. those that are known to not work with Freqtrade):
+```
+$ freqtrade list-exchanges -a
+All exchanges supported by the ccxt library: _1btcxe, acx, adara, allcoin, anxpro, bcex, bequant, bibox, bigone, binance, binanceje, binanceus, bit2c, bitbank, bitbay, bitfinex, bitfinex2, bitflyer, bitforex, bithumb, bitkk, bitlish, bitmart, bitmex, bitso, bitstamp, bitstamp1, bittrex, bitz, bl3p, bleutrade, braziliex, btcalpha, btcbox, btcchina, btcmarkets, btctradeim, btctradeua, btcturk, buda, bxinth, cex, chilebit, cobinhood, coinbase, coinbaseprime, coinbasepro, coincheck, coinegg, coinex, coinexchange, coinfalcon, coinfloor, coingi, coinmarketcap, coinmate, coinone, coinspot, cointiger, coolcoin, coss, crex24, crypton, deribit, digifinex, dsx, dx, ethfinex, exmo, exx, fcoin, fcoinjp, flowbtc, foxbit, fybse, gateio, gdax, gemini, hitbtc, hitbtc2, huobipro, huobiru, ice3x, idex, independentreserve, indodax, itbit, kkex, kraken, kucoin, kucoin2, kuna, lakebtc, latoken, lbank, liquid, livecoin, luno, lykke, mandala, mercado, mixcoins, negociecoins, nova, oceanex, okcoincny, okcoinusd, okex, okex3, paymium, poloniex, rightbtc, southxchange, stronghold, surbitcoin, theocean, therock, tidebit, tidex, upbit, vaultoro, vbtc, virwox, xbtce, yobit, zaif, zb
+```
+
+## List Timeframes
+
+Use the `list-timeframes` subcommand to see the list of ticker intervals (timeframes) available for the exchange.
+
+```
+usage: freqtrade list-timeframes [-h] [--exchange EXCHANGE] [-1]
+
+optional arguments:
+  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
+  --exchange EXCHANGE  Exchange name (default: `bittrex`). Only valid if no
+                       config is provided.
+  -1, --one-column     Print output in one column.
+
+```
+
+* Example: see the timeframes for the 'binance' exchange, set in the configuration file:
+
+```
+$ freqtrade -c config_binance.json list-timeframes
+...
+Timeframes available for the exchange `binance`: 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h, 1d, 3d, 1w, 1M
+```
+
+* Example: enumerate exchanges available for Freqtrade and print timeframes supported by each of them:
+```
+$ for i in `freqtrade list-exchanges -1`; do freqtrade list-timeframes --exchange $i; done
+```
+
+## 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:
+
+```
+usage: freqtrade list-markets [-h] [--exchange EXCHANGE] [--print-list]
+                              [--print-json] [-1] [--print-csv]
+                              [--base BASE_CURRENCY [BASE_CURRENCY ...]]

+                            [--base BASE_CURRENCY [BASE_CURRENCY ...]]
+                            [--quote QUOTE_CURRENCY [QUOTE_CURRENCY ...]] [-a]
+
+optional arguments:
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  --exchange EXCHANGE   Exchange name (default: `bittrex`). Only valid if no
+                        config is provided.
+  --print-list          Print list of pairs or market symbols. By default data
+                        is printed in the tabular format.
+  --print-json          Print list of pairs or market symbols in JSON format.
+  -1, --one-column      Print output in one column.
+  --print-csv           Print exchange pair or market data in the csv format.
+  --base BASE_CURRENCY [BASE_CURRENCY ...]
+                        Specify base currency(-ies). Space-separated list.
+  --quote QUOTE_CURRENCY [QUOTE_CURRENCY ...]
+                        Specify quote currency(-ies). Space-separated list.
+  -a, --all             Print all pairs or market symbols. By default only
+                        active ones are shown.
+```
+
+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:
+
+```
+$ freqtrade list-pairs --quote USD --print-json
+```
+
+* Print the list of all pairs on the exchange, specified in the `config_binance.json` configuration file
+(i.e. on the "Binance" exchange) with base currencies BTC or ETH and quote currencies USDT or USD, as the
+human-readable list with summary:
+
+```
+$ freqtrade -c config_binance.json list-pairs --all --base BTC ETH --quote USDT USD --print-list
+```
+
+* Print all markets on exchange "Kraken", in the tabular format:
