 ## Development branches
 
 The project is currently setup in two main branches:
 
-- `develop` - This branch has often new features, but might also cause breaking changes.
-- `master` - This branch contains the latest stable release. The bot 'should' be stable on this branch, and is generally well tested.
+- `develop` - This branch has often new features, but might also contain breaking changes. We try hard to keep this branch as stable as possible.
+- `stable` - This branch contains the latest stable release. This branch is generally well tested.
 - `feat/*` - These are feature branches, which are being worked on heavily. Please don't use these unless you want to test a specific feature.

+## Running multiple instances of Freqtrade
+
+This section will show you how to run multiple bots at the same time, on the same machine.
+
+### Things to consider
+
+* Use different database files.
+* Use different Telegram bots (requires multiple different configuration files; applies only when Telegram is enabled).
+* Use different ports (applies only when Freqtrade REST API webserver is enabled).
+
+### Different database files
+
+In order to keep track of your trades, profits, etc., freqtrade is using a SQLite database where it stores various types of information such as the trades you performed in the past and the current position(s) you are holding at any time. This allows you to keep track of your profits, but most importantly, keep track of ongoing activity if the bot process would be restarted or would be terminated unexpectedly.
+
+Freqtrade will, by default, use separate database files for dry-run and live bots (this assumes no database-url is given in either configuration nor via command line argument).
+For live trading mode, the default database will be `tradesv3.sqlite` and for dry-run it will be `tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite`.
+
+The optional argument to the trade command used to specify the path of these files is `--db-url`, which requires a valid SQLAlchemy url.
+So when you are starting a bot with only the config and strategy arguments in dry-run mode, the following 2 commands would have the same outcome.
+
+``` bash
+freqtrade trade -c MyConfig.json -s MyStrategy
+# is equivalent to
+freqtrade trade -c MyConfig.json -s MyStrategy --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite
+```
+
+It means that if you are running the trade command in two different terminals, for example to test your strategy both for trades in USDT and in another instance for trades in BTC, you will have to run them with different databases.
+
+If you specify the URL of a database which does not exist, freqtrade will create one with the name you specified. So to test your custom strategy with BTC and USDT stake currencies, you could use the following commands (in 2 separate terminals):
+
+``` bash
+# Terminal 1:
+freqtrade trade -c MyConfigBTC.json -s MyCustomStrategy --db-url sqlite:///user_data/tradesBTC.dryrun.sqlite
+# Terminal 2:
+freqtrade trade -c MyConfigUSDT.json -s MyCustomStrategy --db-url sqlite:///user_data/tradesUSDT.dryrun.sqlite
+```
+
+Conversely, if you wish to do the same thing in production mode, you will also have to create at least one new database (in addition to the default one) and specify the path to the "live" databases, for example:
+
+``` bash
+# Terminal 1:
+freqtrade trade -c MyConfigBTC.json -s MyCustomStrategy --db-url sqlite:///user_data/tradesBTC.live.sqlite
+# Terminal 2:
+freqtrade trade -c MyConfigUSDT.json -s MyCustomStrategy --db-url sqlite:///user_data/tradesUSDT.live.sqlite
+```
+
+For more information regarding usage of the sqlite databases, for example to manually enter or remove trades, please refer to the [SQL Cheatsheet](sql_cheatsheet.md).

+On many Linux systems the bot can be configured to send its log messages to `syslog` or `journald` system services. Logging to a remote `syslog` server is also available on Windows. The special values for the `--logfile` command line option can be used for this.
 
 ### Logging to syslog
 
-To send Freqtrade log messages to a local or remote `syslog` service use the `--logfilename` command line option with the value in the following format:
+To send Freqtrade log messages to a local or remote `syslog` service use the `--logfile` command line option with the value in the following format:
 
-* `--logfilename syslog:<syslog_address>` -- send log messages to `syslog` service using the `<syslog_address>` as the syslog address.
+* `--logfile syslog:<syslog_address>` -- send log messages to `syslog` service using the `<syslog_address>` as the syslog address.
 
 The syslog address can be either a Unix domain socket (socket filename) or a UDP socket specification, consisting of IP address and UDP port, separated by the `:` character.
 
 So, the following are the examples of possible usages:
 
-* `--logfilename syslog:/dev/log` -- log to syslog (rsyslog) using the `/dev/log` socket, suitable for most systems.
-* `--logfilename syslog` -- same as above, the shortcut for `/dev/log`.
-* `--logfilename syslog:/var/run/syslog` -- log to syslog (rsyslog) using the `/var/run/syslog` socket. Use this on MacOS.
-* `--logfilename syslog:localhost:514` -- log to local syslog using UDP socket, if it listens on port 514.
-* `--logfilename syslog:<ip>:514` -- log to remote syslog at IP address and port 514. This may be used on Windows for remote logging to an external syslog server.
+* `--logfile syslog:/dev/log` -- log to syslog (rsyslog) using the `/dev/log` socket, suitable for most systems.

+* `--logfile syslog:localhost:514` -- log to local syslog using UDP socket, if it listens on port 514.
+* `--logfile syslog:<ip>:514` -- log to remote syslog at IP address and port 514. This may be used on Windows for remote logging to an external syslog server.
 
 Log messages are send to `syslog` with the `user` facility. So you can see them with the following commands:
 
 * `tail -f /var/log/user`, or 
 * install a comprehensive graphical viewer (for instance, 'Log File Viewer' for Ubuntu).
 
-On many systems `syslog` (`rsyslog`) fetches data from `journald` (and vice versa), so both `--logfilename syslog` or `--logfilename journald` can be used and the messages be viewed with both `journalctl` and a syslog viewer utility. You can combine this in any way which suites you better.

-This table can tell you which area needs some additional work (i.e. all `sell_signal` trades are losses, so we should disable the sell-signal or work on improving that).
-
-The 3rd table contains all trades the bot had to `forcesell` at the end of the backtest period to present a full picture.
-This is necessary to simulate realistic behaviour, since the backtest period has to end at some point, while realistically, you could leave the bot running forever.
-These trades are also included in the first table, but are extracted separately for clarity.

+- `Total trades`: Identical to the total trades of the backtest output table.
+- `First trade`: First trade entered.
+- `First trade pair`: Which pair was part of the first trade.
+- `Backtesting from` / `Backtesting to`: Backtesting range (usually defined with the `--timerange` option).
+- `Total Profit %`: Total profit per stake amount. Aligned to the TOTAL column of the first table.
+- `Trades per day`: Total trades divided by the backtesting duration in days (this will give you information about how many trades to expect from the strategy).
+- `Best day` / `Worst day`: Best and worst day based on daily profit.
+- `Avg. Duration Winners` / `Avg. Duration Loser`: Average durations for winning and losing trades.
+- `Max Drawdown`: Maximum drawdown experienced. For example, the value of 50% means that from highest to subsequent lowest point, a 50% drop was experienced).
+- `Drawdown Start` / `Drawdown End`: Start and end datetimes for this largest drawdown (can also be visualized via the `plot-dataframe` sub-command).

 ### 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.
+- Low happens before high for stoploss, protecting capital first
 - ROI
   - sells are compared to high - but the ROI value is used (e.g. ROI = 2%, high=5% - so the sell will be at 2%)
   - sells are never "below the candle", so a ROI of 2% may result in a sell at 2.4% if low was at 2.4% profit

+# Freqtrade basics
+
+This page provides you some basic concepts on how Freqtrade works and operates.
+
+## Freqtrade terminology
+
+* Trade: Open position.
+* Open Order: Order which is currently placed on the exchange, and is not yet complete.
+* Pair: Tradable pair, usually in the format of Quote/Base (e.g. XRP/USDT).
+* Timeframe: Candle length to use (e.g. `"5m"`, `"1h"`, ...).
+* Indicators: Technical indicators (SMA, EMA, RSI, ...).
+* Limit order: Limit orders which execute at the defined limit price or better.
+* Market order: Guaranteed to fill, may move price depending on the order size.
+
+## Fee handling
+
+All profit calculations of Freqtrade include fees. For Backtesting / Hyperopt / Dry-run modes, the exchange default fee is used (lowest tier on the exchange). For live operations, fees are used as applied by the exchange (this includes BNB rebates etc.).
+
+## Bot execution logic
+
+Starting freqtrade in dry-run or live mode (using `freqtrade trade`) will start the bot and start the bot iteration loop.
+By default, loop runs every few seconds (`internals.process_throttle_secs`) and does roughly the following in the following sequence:
+
+* Fetch open trades from persistence.
+* Calculate current list of tradable pairs.
+* Download ohlcv data for the pairlist including all [informative pairs](strategy-customization.md#get-data-for-non-tradeable-pairs)  
+  This step is only executed once per Candle to avoid unnecessary network traffic.
+* Call `bot_loop_start()` strategy callback.
+* Analyze strategy per pair.
+  * Call `populate_indicators()`
+  * Call `populate_buy_trend()`
+  * Call `populate_sell_trend()`
+* Check timeouts for open orders.
+  * Calls `check_buy_timeout()` strategy callback for open buy orders.
+  * Calls `check_sell_timeout()` strategy callback for open sell orders.
+* Verifies existing positions and eventually places sell orders.
+  * Considers stoploss, ROI and sell-signal.
+  * Determine sell-price based on `ask_strategy` configuration setting.
+  * Before a sell order is placed, `confirm_trade_exit()` strategy callback is called.
+* Check if trade-slots are still available (if `max_open_trades` is reached).
+* Verifies buy signal trying to enter new positions.
+  * Determine buy-price based on `bid_strategy` configuration setting.
+  * Before a buy order is placed, `confirm_trade_entry()` strategy callback is called.
+
+This loop will be repeated again and again until the bot is stopped.
+
+## Backtesting / Hyperopt execution logic
+
+[backtesting](backtesting.md) or [hyperopt](hyperopt.md) do only part of the above logic, since most of the trading operations are fully simulated.
+
+* Load historic data for configured pairlist.
+* Calculate indicators (calls `populate_indicators()`).
+* Calls `populate_buy_trend()` and `populate_sell_trend()`
+* Loops per candle simulating entry and exit points.
+* Generate backtest report output
+
+!!! Note
+    Both Backtesting and Hyperopt include exchange default Fees in the calculation. Custom fees can be passed to backtesting / hyperopt by specifying the `--fee` argument.

-## Pairlists
+### Market order pricing
 
-Pairlists define the list of pairs that the bot should trade.
-There are [`StaticPairList`](#static-pair-list) and dynamic Whitelists available.
+When using market orders, prices should be configured to use the "correct" side of the orderbook to allow realistic pricing detection.
+Assuming both buy and sell are using market orders, a configuration similar to the following might be used
 
-[`PrecisionFilter`](#precision-filter) and [`PriceFilter`](#price-pair-filter) act as filters, removing low-value pairs.
-
-All pairlists can be chained, and a combination of all pairlists will become your new whitelist. Pairlists are executed in the sequence they are configured. You should always configure either `StaticPairList` or `DynamicPairList` as starting pairlists.
-
-Inactive markets and blacklisted pairs are always removed from the resulting `pair_whitelist`.
-
-### Available Pairlists
-
-* [`StaticPairList`](#static-pair-list) (default, if not configured differently)
-* [`VolumePairList`](#volume-pair-list)
-* [`PrecisionFilter`](#precision-filter)
-* [`PriceFilter`](#price-pair-filter)
-
-!!! Tip "Testing pairlists"
-    Pairlist configurations can be quite tricky to get right. Best use the [`test-pairlist`](utils.md#test-pairlist) subcommand to test your configuration quickly.
-
-#### Static Pair List
-
-By default, the `StaticPairList` method is used, which uses a statically defined pair whitelist from the configuration. 
-
-It uses configuration from `exchange.pair_whitelist` and `exchange.pair_blacklist`.
-
-```json
-"pairlists": [
-    {"method": "StaticPairList"}
-    ],
+``` jsonc
+  "order_types": {
+    "buy": "market",
+    "sell": "market"
+    // ...
+  },
+  "bid_strategy": {
+    "price_side": "ask",
+    // ...
+  },
+  "ask_strategy":{
+    "price_side": "bid",
+    // ...
+  },
 ```
 
-#### Volume Pair List
-
-`VolumePairList` selects `number_assets` top pairs based on `sort_key`, which can be one of `askVolume`, `bidVolume` and `quoteVolume` and defaults to `quoteVolume`.
-
-`VolumePairList` considers outputs of previous pairlists unless  it's the first configured pairlist, it does not consider `pair_whitelist`, but selects the top assets from all available markets (with matching stake-currency) on the exchange.
-
-`refresh_period` allows setting the period (in seconds), at which the pairlist will be refreshed. Defaults to 1800s (30 minutes).
-
-```json
-"pairlists": [{
-        "method": "VolumePairList",
-        "number_assets": 20,
-        "sort_key": "quoteVolume",
-        "refresh_period": 1800,
-],
-```
-
-#### Precision Filter
-
-Filters low-value coins which would not allow setting a stoploss.
-
-#### Price Pair Filter
-
-The `PriceFilter` allows filtering of pairs by price.
-Currently, only `low_price_ratio` is implemented, where a raise of 1 price unit (pip) is below the `low_price_ratio` ratio.
-This option is disabled by default, and will only apply if set to <> 0.
-
-Calculation example:  
-Min price precision is 8 decimals. If price is 0.00000011 - one step would be 0.00000012 - which is almost 10% higher than the previous value. 
-
-These pairs are dangerous since it may be impossible to place the desired stoploss - and often result in high losses.
-
-### Full Pairlist example
-
-The below example blacklists `BNB/BTC`, uses `VolumePairList` with `20` assets, sorting by `quoteVolume` and applies both [`PrecisionFilter`](#precision-filter) and [`PriceFilter`](#price-pair-filter), filtering all assets where 1 priceunit is > 1%.
-
-```json
-"exchange": {
-    "pair_whitelist": [],
-    "pair_blacklist": ["BNB/BTC"]
-},
-"pairlists": [
-    {
-        "method": "VolumePairList",
-        "number_assets": 20,
-        "sort_key": "quoteVolume",
-    },
-    {"method": "PrecisionFilter"},
-    {"method": "PriceFilter", "low_price_ratio": 0.01}
-    ],
-```
+Obviously, if only one side is using limit orders, different pricing combinations can be used.

 Exchange and pairs will come from `config.json` (if specified using `-c/--config`).
 Otherwise `--exchange` becomes mandatory.
 
+You can use a relative timerange (`--days 20`) or an absolute starting point (`--timerange 20200101`). For incremental downloads, the relative approach should be used.

 !!! Tip "Tip: Updating existing data"
     If you already have backtesting data available in your data-directory and would like to refresh this data up to today, use `--days xx` with a number slightly higher than the missing number of days. Freqtrade will keep the available data and only download the missing data.
-    Be carefull though: If the number is too small (which would result in a few missing days), the whole dataset will be removed and only xx days will be downloaded.

+
+!!! Note "Startup period"
+    `download-data` is a strategy-independent command. The idea is to download a big chunk of data once, and then iteratively increase the amount of data stored.
+
+    For that reason, `download-data` does not care about the "startup-period" defined in a strategy. It's up to the user to download additional days if the backtest should start at a specific point in time (while respecting startup period).
+
+### Data format
+
+Freqtrade currently supports 3 data-formats for both OHLCV and trades data:
+
+* `json` (plain "text" json files)
+* `jsongz` (a gzip-zipped version of json files)
+* `hdf5` (a high performance datastore)
+
+By default, OHLCV data is stored as `json` data, while trades data is stored as `jsongz` data.
+
+This can be changed via the `--data-format-ohlcv` and `--data-format-trades` command line arguments respectively.
+To persist this change, you can should also add the following snippet to your configuration, so you don't have to insert the above arguments each time:
+
+``` jsonc
+    // ...
+    "dataformat_ohlcv": "hdf5",
+    "dataformat_trades": "hdf5",
+    // ...
+```
+
+If the default data-format has been changed during download, then the keys `dataformat_ohlcv` and `dataformat_trades` in the configuration file need to be adjusted to the selected dataformat as well.
+
+!!! Note
+    You can convert between data-formats using the [convert-data](#sub-command-convert-data) and [convert-trade-data](#sub-command-convert-trade-data) methods.

 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.

+
+Once you have Docker installed, simply prepare the config file (e.g. `config.json`) and run the image for `freqtrade` as explained below.
+
+## Freqtrade with docker-compose
+
+Freqtrade provides an official Docker image on [Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/freqtradeorg/freqtrade/), as well as a [docker-compose file](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docker-compose.yml) ready for usage.
+
+!!! Note
+    - The following section assumes that `docker` and `docker-compose` are installed and available to the logged in user.
+    - All below commands use relative directories and will have to be executed from the directory containing the `docker-compose.yml` file.
+
+### Docker quick start
+
+Create a new directory and place the [docker-compose file](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docker-compose.yml) in this directory.
+
+=== "PC/MAC/Linux"
+    ``` bash

+    # Download the docker-compose file from the repository
+    curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/stable/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
+
+    # Pull the freqtrade image
+    docker-compose pull

+    # Create configuration - Requires answering interactive questions
+    docker-compose run --rm freqtrade new-config --config user_data/config.json
+    ```
+
+    !!! Note "Change your docker Image"
+        You have to change the docker image in the docker-compose file for your Raspberry build to work properly.
+        ``` yml
+        image: freqtradeorg/freqtrade:stable_pi
+        # image: freqtradeorg/freqtrade:develop_pi
+        ```
+
+The above snippet creates a new directory called `ft_userdata`, downloads the latest compose file and pulls the freqtrade image.
+The last 2 steps in the snippet create the directory with `user_data`, as well as (interactively) the default configuration based on your selections.
+
+!!! Question "How to edit the bot configuration?"
+    You can edit the configuration at any time, which is available as `user_data/config.json` (within the directory `ft_userdata`) when using the above configuration.
+
+    You can also change the both Strategy and commands by editing the `docker-compose.yml` file.
+
+#### Adding a custom strategy
+
+1. The configuration is now available as `user_data/config.json`
+2. Copy a custom strategy to the directory `user_data/strategies/`
+3. add the Strategy' class name to the `docker-compose.yml` file
+
+The `SampleStrategy` is run by default.
+
+!!! Warning "`SampleStrategy` is just a demo!"
+    The `SampleStrategy` is there for your reference and give you ideas for your own strategy.
+    Please always backtest the strategy and use dry-run for some time before risking real money!

+Once this is done, you're ready to launch the bot in trading mode (Dry-run or Live-trading, depending on your answer to the corresponding question you made above).
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+#### Docker-compose logs
+
+Logs will be located at: `user_data/logs/freqtrade.log`. 
+You can check the latest log with the command `docker-compose logs -f`.
+
+#### Database
+
+The database will be at: `user_data/tradesv3.sqlite`
+
+#### Updating freqtrade with docker-compose
+
+To update freqtrade when using `docker-compose` is as simple as running the following 2 commands:
+
+``` bash
+# Download the latest image
+docker-compose pull
+# Restart the image
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+This will first pull the latest image, and will then restart the container with the just pulled version.
+
+!!! Warning "Check the Changelog"
+    You should always check the changelog for breaking changes / manual interventions required and make sure the bot starts correctly after the update.
+
+### Editing the docker-compose file
+
+Advanced users may edit the docker-compose file further to include all possible options or arguments.
+
+All possible freqtrade arguments will be available by running `docker-compose run --rm freqtrade <command> <optional arguments>`.
+
+!!! Note "`docker-compose run --rm`"
+    Including `--rm` will clean up the container after completion, and is highly recommended for all modes except trading mode (running with `freqtrade trade` command).
+
+#### Example: Download data with docker-compose
+
+Download backtesting data for 5 days for the pair ETH/BTC and 1h timeframe from Binance. The data will be stored in the directory `user_data/data/` on the host.
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose run --rm freqtrade download-data --pairs ETH/BTC --exchange binance --days 5 -t 1h
+```
+
+Head over to the [Data Downloading Documentation](data-download.md) for more details on downloading data.
+
+#### Example: Backtest with docker-compose
+
+Run backtesting in docker-containers for SampleStrategy and specified timerange of historical data, on 5m timeframe:
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose run --rm freqtrade backtesting --config user_data/config.json --strategy SampleStrategy --timerange 20190801-20191001 -i 5m
+```
+
+Head over to the [Backtesting Documentation](backtesting.md) to learn more.
+
+### Additional dependencies with docker-compose
+
+If your strategy requires dependencies not included in the default image (like [technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/technical)) - it will be necessary to build the image on your host.
+For this, please create a Dockerfile containing installation steps for the additional dependencies (have a look at [docker/Dockerfile.technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docker/Dockerfile.technical) for an example).
+
+You'll then also need to modify the `docker-compose.yml` file and uncomment the build step, as well as rename the image to avoid naming collisions.
+
+``` yaml
+    image: freqtrade_custom
+    build:
+      context: .
+      dockerfile: "./Dockerfile.<yourextension>"
+```
+
+You can then run `docker-compose build` to build the docker image, and run it using the commands described above.
+
+## Plotting with docker-compose
+
+Commands `freqtrade plot-profit` and `freqtrade plot-dataframe` ([Documentation](plotting.md)) are available by changing the image to `*_plot` in your docker-compose.yml file.
+You can then use these commands as follows:
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose run --rm freqtrade plot-dataframe --strategy AwesomeStrategy -p BTC/ETH --timerange=20180801-20180805
+```
+
+The output will be stored in the `user_data/plot` directory, and can be opened with any modern browser.
+
+## Data analayis using docker compose
+
+Freqtrade provides a docker-compose file which starts up a jupyter lab server.
+You can run this server using the following command:
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose --rm -f docker/docker-compose-jupyter.yml up
+```
+
+This will create a dockercontainer running jupyter lab, which will be accessible using `https://127.0.0.1:8888/lab`.
+Please use the link that's printed in the console after startup for simplified login.
+
+Since part of this image is built on your machine, it is recommended to rebuild the image from time to time to keep freqtrade (and dependencies) uptodate.
+
+``` bash
+docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose-jupyter.yml build --no-cache
+```

 # 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.
+The `Edge Positioning` module uses probability to calculate your win rate and risk reward ration. It will use these statistics to control your strategy trade entry points, position side and, stoploss. 
 
 !!! Warning
-    Edge positioning is not compatible with dynamic (volume-based) whitelist.
+    `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.
+    `Edge Positioning` only considers *its own* buy/sell/stoploss signals. It ignores the stoploss, trailing stoploss, and ROI settings in the strategy configuration file.
+    `Edge Positioning` improves the performance of some trading strategies and *decreases* the performance of others.
 
 ## 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.
+Trading strategies are not perfect. They are frameworks that are susceptible to the market and its indicators. Because the market is not at all predictable, sometimes a strategy will win and sometimes the same strategy will 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?
+To obtain an edge in the market, a strategy has to make more money than it loses. Making money in trading is not only about *how often* the strategy makes or loses money. 
 
-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...
+!!! tip "It doesn't matter how often, but how much!"
+    A bad strategy might make 1 penny in *ten* transactions but lose 1 dollar in *one* transaction. If one only checks the number of winning trades, it would be misleading to think that the strategy is actually making a profit.
 
-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.
+The Edge Positioning module seeks to improve a strategy's winning probability and the money that the strategy will make *on the long run*. 
 
-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.
+We raise the following question[^1]:
 
-The question is: How do you calculate that? How do you know if you wanna play?
+!!! Question "Which trade is a better option?"
+    a) A trade with 80% of chance of losing $100 and 20% chance of winning $200<br/>
+    b) A trade with 100% of chance of losing $30
 
-The answer comes to two factors:
+???+ Info "Answer"
+    The expected value of *a)* is smaller than the expected value of *b)*.<br/>
+    Hence, *b*) represents a smaller loss in the long run.<br/>
+    However, the answer is: *it depends*
 
-- Win Rate
-- Risk Reward Ratio
+Another way to look at it is to ask a similar question:
 
-### Win Rate
+!!! Question "Which trade is a better option?"
+    a) A trade with 80% of chance of winning 100 and 20% chance of losing $200<br/>
+    b) A trade with 100% of chance of winning $30
 
-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).
+Edge positioning tries to answer the hard questions about risk/reward and position size automatically, seeking to minimizes the chances of losing of a given strategy.
 
-```
-W = (Number of winning trades) / (Total number of trades) = (Number of winning trades) / N
-```
+### Trading, winning and losing
 
-Complementary Loss Rate (*L*) is defined as
+Let's call $o$ the return of a single transaction $o$ where $o \in \mathbb{R}$. The collection $O = \{o_1, o_2, ..., o_N\}$ is the set of all returns of transactions made during a trading session. We say that $N$ is the cardinality of $O$, or, in lay terms, it is the number of transactions made in a trading session.
 
-```
-L = (Number of losing trades) / (Total number of trades) = (Number of losing trades) / N
-```
+!!! Example
+    In a session where a strategy made three transactions we can say that $O = \{3.5, -1, 15\}$. That means that $N = 3$ and $o_1 = 3.5$, $o_2 = -1$, $o_3 = 15$.
 
-or, which is the same, as
+A winning trade is a trade where a strategy *made* money. Making money means that the strategy closed the position in a value that returned a profit, after all deducted fees. Formally, a winning trade will have a return $o_i > 0$. Similarly, a losing trade will have a return $o_j \leq 0$. With that, we can discover the set of all winning trades, $T_{win}$, as follows:
 
-```
-L = 1 – W
-```
+$$ T_{win} = \{ o \in O | o > 0 \} $$
+
+Similarly, we can discover the set of losing trades $T_{lose}$ as follows:
+
+$$ T_{lose} = \{o \in O | o \leq 0\} $$
+
+!!! Example
+    In a section where a strategy made three transactions $O = \{3.5, -1, 15, 0\}$:<br>
+    $T_{win} = \{3.5, 15\}$<br>
+    $T_{lose} = \{-1, 0\}$<br>
+
+### Win Rate and Lose Rate
+
+The win rate $W$ is the proportion of winning trades with respect to all the trades made by a strategy. We use the following function to compute the win rate:
+
+$$W = \frac{|T_{win}|}{N}$$
+
+Where $W$ is the win rate, $N$ is the number of trades and, $T_{win}$ is the set of all trades where the strategy made money.
+
+Similarly, we can compute the rate of losing trades:
+
+$$ 
+    L = \frac{|T_{lose}|}{N} 
+$$
+
+Where $L$ is the lose rate, $N$ is the amount of trades made and, $T_{lose}$ is the set of all trades where the strategy lost money. Note that the above formula is the same as calculating $L = 1 – W$ or $W = 1 – L$
 
 ### 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:
+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. Formally:
 
-```
-R = Profit / Loss
-```
+$$ R = \frac{\text{potential_profit}}{\text{potential_loss}} $$
 
-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:
+???+ Example "Worked example of $R$ calculation"
+    Let's say that you think that the price of *stonecoin* today is $10.0. You believe that, because they will start mining stonecoin, it will go up to $15.0 tomorrow. There is the risk that the stone is too hard, and the GPUs can't mine it, so the price might go to $0 tomorrow. You are planning to invest $100, which will give you 10 shares (100 / 10).
 
-```
-Average profit = (Sum of profits) / (Number of winning trades)
+    Your potential profit is calculated as:
 
-Average loss = (Sum of losses) / (Number of losing trades)
+    $\begin{aligned} 
+        \text{potential_profit} &= (\text{potential_price} - \text{entry_price}) * \frac{\text{investment}}{\text{entry_price}} \\
+                                &= (15 - 10) * (100 / 10) \\
+                                &= 50
+    \end{aligned}$
 
-R = (Average profit) / (Average loss)
-```
+    Since the price might go to $0, the $100 dollars invested could turn into 0.
+
+    We do however use a stoploss of 15% - so in the worst case, we'll sell 15% below entry price (or at 8.5$).
+
+    $\begin{aligned}
+        \text{potential_loss} &= (\text{entry_price} - \text{stoploss}) * \frac{\text{investment}}{\text{entry_price}} \\
+                                &= (10 - 8.5) * (100 / 10)\\
+                                &= 15
+    \end{aligned}$
+
+    We can compute the Risk Reward Ratio as follows:
+
+    $\begin{aligned}
+        R   &= \frac{\text{potential_profit}}{\text{potential_loss}}\\
+            &= \frac{50}{15}\\
+            &= 3.33
+    \end{aligned}$<br>
+    What it effectively means is that the strategy have the potential to make 3.33$ for each $1 invested.
+
+On a long horizon, that is, on many trades, we can calculate the risk reward by dividing the strategy' average profit on winning trades by the strategy' average loss on losing trades. We can calculate the average profit, $\mu_{win}$, as follows:
+
+$$ \text{average_profit} = \mu_{win} = \frac{\text{sum_of_profits}}{\text{count_winning_trades}} = \frac{\sum^{o \in T_{win}} o}{|T_{win}|} $$
+
+Similarly, we can calculate the average loss, $\mu_{lose}$, as follows:
+
+$$ \text{average_loss} = \mu_{lose} = \frac{\text{sum_of_losses}}{\text{count_losing_trades}} = \frac{\sum^{o \in T_{lose}} o}{|T_{lose}|} $$
+
+Finally, we can calculate the Risk Reward ratio, $R$, as follows:
+
+$$ R = \frac{\text{average_profit}}{\text{average_loss}} = \frac{\mu_{win}}{\mu_{lose}}\\ $$
+
+
+???+ Example "Worked example of $R$ calculation using mean profit/loss"
+    Let's say the strategy that we are using makes an average win $\mu_{win} = 2.06$ and an average loss $\mu_{loss} = 4.11$.<br>
+    We calculate the risk reward ratio as follows:<br>
+    $R = \frac{\mu_{win}}{\mu_{loss}} = \frac{2.06}{4.11} = 0.5012...$
+    
 
 ### 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:
+By combining the Win Rate $W$ and and the Risk Reward ratio $R$ to create an expectancy ratio $E$. A expectance ratio is the expected return of the investment made in a trade. We can compute the value of $E$ as follows:
 
-```
-Expectancy Ratio = (Risk Reward Ratio X Win Rate) – Loss Rate = (R X W) – L
-```
+$$E = R * W - L$$
 
-So lets say your Win rate is 28% and your Risk Reward Ratio is 5:
+!!! Example "Calculating $E$"
+    Let's say that a strategy has a win rate $W = 0.28$ and a risk reward ratio $R = 5$. What this means is that the strategy is expected to make 5 times the investment around on 28% of the trades it makes. Working out the example:<br>
+    $E = R * W - L = 5 * 0.28 - 0.72 = 0.68$
+    <br>
 
-```
-Expectancy = (5 X 0.28) – 0.72 = 0.68
-```
+The expectancy worked out in the example above means that, on average, this strategy' trades will return 1.68 times the size of its losses. Said another way, the strategy makes $1.68 for every $1 it loses, on average. 
 
-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.
+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.

+Edge produced the above table by comparing `calculate_since_number_of_days` to `minimum_expectancy` to find `min_trade_number` historical information based on the config file. The timerange Edge uses for its comparisons can be further limited by using the `--timerange` switch.
+
+In live and dry-run modes, after the `process_throttle_secs` has passed, Edge will again process `calculate_since_number_of_days` against `minimum_expectancy` to find `min_trade_number`. If no `min_trade_number` is found, the bot will return "whitelist empty". Depending on the trade strategy being deployed, "whitelist empty" may be return much of the time - or *all* of the time. The use of Edge may also cause trading to occur in bursts, though this is rare.
+
+If you encounter "whitelist empty" a lot, condsider tuning `calculate_since_number_of_days`, `minimum_expectancy`  and `min_trade_number` to align to the trading frequency of your strategy.

 ## Kraken
 
+!!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
+    Kraken supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses stop-loss-market orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it, however since the resulting order is a stoploss-market order, sell-rates are not guaranteed, which makes this feature less secure than on other exchanges. This limitation is based on kraken's policy [source](https://blog.kraken.com/post/1234/announcement-delisting-pairs-and-temporary-suspension-of-advanced-order-types/) and [source2](https://blog.kraken.com/post/1494/kraken-enables-advanced-orders-and-adds-10-currency-pairs/) - which has stoploss-limit orders disabled.
+
 ### Historic Kraken data
 
 The Kraken API does only provide 720 historic candles, which is sufficient for Freqtrade dry-run and live trade modes, but is a problem for backtesting.
 To download data for the Kraken exchange, using `--dl-trades` is mandatory, otherwise the bot will download the same 720 candles over and over, and you'll not have enough backtest data.
 
+Due to the heavy rate-limiting applied by Kraken, the following configuration section should be used to download data:

+### Order types
+
+Bittrex does not support market orders.

+### I'm getting "Missing data fillup" messages in the log
+
+This message is just a warning that the latest candles had missing candles in them.
+Depending on the exchange, this can indicate that the pair didn't have a trade for the timeframe you are using - and the exchange does only return candles with volume.
+On low volume pairs, this is a rather common occurance.
+
+If this happens for all pairs in the pairlist, this might indicate a recent exchange downtime. Please check your exchange's public channels for details.
+
+Irrespectively of the reason, Freqtrade will fill up these candles with "empty" candles, where open, high, low and close are set to the previous candle close - and volume is empty. In a chart, this will look like a `_` - and is aligned with how exchanges usually represent 0 volume candles.

+### I'm getting the "Exchange Bittrex does not support market orders." message and cannot run my strategy
+
+As the message says, Bittrex does not support market orders and you have one of the [order types](configuration.md/#understand-order_types) set to "market". Probably your strategy was written with other exchanges in mind and sets "market" orders for "stoploss" orders, which is correct and preferable for most of the exchanges supporting market orders (but not for Bittrex).
+
+To fix it for Bittrex, redefine order types in the strategy to use "limit" instead of "market":
+
+```
+    order_types = {
+        ...
+        'stoploss': 'limit',
+        ...
+    }
+```
+
+Same fix should be done in the configuration file, if order types are defined in your custom config rather than in the strategy.

 ### How do I search the bot logs for something?
 
-By default, the bot writes its log into stderr stream.

So if you need to search the log messages with the grep utility, you need to redirect stderr to stdout and disregard stdout.

+## Pairlists and Pairlist Handlers
+
+Pairlist Handlers define the list of pairs (pairlist) that the bot should trade. They are configured in the `pairlists` section of the configuration settings.
+
+In your configuration, you can use Static Pairlist (defined by the [`StaticPairList`](#static-pair-list) Pairlist Handler) and Dynamic Pairlist (defined by the [`VolumePairList`](#volume-pair-list) Pairlist Handler).
+
+Additionally, [`AgeFilter`](#agefilter), [`PrecisionFilter`](#precisionfilter), [`PriceFilter`](#pricefilter), [`ShuffleFilter`](#shufflefilter) and [`SpreadFilter`](#spreadfilter) act as Pairlist Filters, removing certain pairs and/or moving their positions in the pairlist.
+
+If multiple Pairlist Handlers are used, they are chained and a combination of all Pairlist Handlers forms the resulting pairlist the bot uses for trading and backtesting. Pairlist Handlers are executed in the sequence they are configured. You should always configure either `StaticPairList` or `VolumePairList` as the starting Pairlist Handler.
+
+Inactive markets are always removed from the resulting pairlist. Explicitly blacklisted pairs (those in the `pair_blacklist` configuration setting) are also always removed from the resulting pairlist.
+
+### Available Pairlist Handlers
+
+* [`StaticPairList`](#static-pair-list) (default, if not configured differently)
+* [`VolumePairList`](#volume-pair-list)
+* [`AgeFilter`](#agefilter)
+* [`PrecisionFilter`](#precisionfilter)
+* [`PriceFilter`](#pricefilter)
+* [`ShuffleFilter`](#shufflefilter)
+* [`SpreadFilter`](#spreadfilter)
+
+!!! Tip "Testing pairlists"
+    Pairlist configurations can be quite tricky to get right. Best use the [`test-pairlist`](utils.md#test-pairlist) utility sub-command to test your configuration quickly.
+
+#### Static Pair List
+
+By default, the `StaticPairList` method is used, which uses a statically defined pair whitelist from the configuration.
+
+It uses configuration from `exchange.pair_whitelist` and `exchange.pair_blacklist`.
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [
+    {"method": "StaticPairList"}
+    ],
+```
+
+#### Volume Pair List
+
+`VolumePairList` employs sorting/filtering of pairs by their trading volume. It selects `number_assets` top pairs with sorting based on the `sort_key` (which can only be `quoteVolume`).
+
+When used in the chain of Pairlist Handlers in a non-leading position (after StaticPairList and other Pairlist Filters), `VolumePairList` considers outputs of previous Pairlist Handlers, adding its sorting/selection of the pairs by the trading volume.
+
+When used on the leading position of the chain of Pairlist Handlers, it does not consider `pair_whitelist` configuration setting, but selects the top assets from all available markets (with matching stake-currency) on the exchange.
+
+The `refresh_period` setting allows to define the period (in seconds), at which the pairlist will be refreshed. Defaults to 1800s (30 minutes).
+
+`VolumePairList` is based on the ticker data from exchange, as reported by the ccxt library:
+
+* The `quoteVolume` is the amount of quote (stake) currency traded (bought or sold) in last 24 hours.
+
+```json
+"pairlists": [{
+        "method": "VolumePairList",
+        "number_assets": 20,
+        "sort_key": "quoteVolume",
+        "refresh_period": 1800,
+}],
+```
+
+#### AgeFilter
+
+Removes pairs that have been listed on the exchange for less than `min_days_listed` days (defaults to `10`).
+
+When pairs are first listed on an exchange they can suffer huge price drops and volatility
+in the first few days while the pair goes through its price-discovery period. Bots can often
+be caught out buying before the pair has finished dropping in price.
+
+This filter allows freqtrade to ignore pairs until they have been listed for at least `min_days_listed` days.
+
+#### PrecisionFilter
+
+Filters low-value coins which would not allow setting stoplosses.
+
+#### PriceFilter
+
+The `PriceFilter` allows filtering of pairs by price. Currently the following price filters are supported:
+
+* `min_price`
+* `max_price`
+* `low_price_ratio`
+
+The `min_price` setting removes pairs where the price is below the specified price. This is useful if you wish to avoid trading very low-priced pairs.
+This option is disabled by default, and will only apply if set to > 0.
+
+The `max_price` setting removes pairs where the price is above the specified price. This is useful if you wish to trade only low-priced pairs.
+This option is disabled by default, and will only apply if set to > 0.
+
+The `low_price_ratio` setting removes pairs where a raise of 1 price unit (pip) is above the `low_price_ratio` ratio.
+This option is disabled by default, and will only apply if set to > 0.
+
+For `PriceFiler` at least one of its `min_price`, `max_price` or `low_price_ratio` settings must be applied.
+
+Calculation example:
+
+Min price precision for SHITCOIN/BTC is 8 decimals. If its price is 0.00000011 - one price step above would be 0.00000012, which is ~9% higher than the previous price value. You may filter out this pair by using PriceFilter with `low_price_ratio` set to 0.09 (9%) or with `min_price` set to 0.00000011, correspondingly.
+
+!!! Warning "Low priced pairs"
+    Low priced pairs with high "1 pip movements" are dangerous since they are often illiquid and it may also be impossible to place the desired stoploss, which can often result in high losses since price needs to be rounded to the next tradable price - so instead of having a stoploss of -5%, you could end up with a stoploss of -9% simply due to price rounding.
+
+#### ShuffleFilter
+
+Shuffles (randomizes) pairs in the pairlist. It can be used for preventing the bot from trading some of the pairs more frequently then others when you want all pairs be treated with the same priority.
+
+!!! Tip
+    You may set the `seed` value for this Pairlist to obtain reproducible results, which can be useful for repeated backtesting sessions. If `seed` is not set, the pairs are shuffled in the non-repeatable random order.
+
+#### SpreadFilter
+
+Removes pairs that have a difference between asks and bids above the specified ratio, `max_spread_ratio` (defaults to `0.005`).
+
+Example:
+
+If `DOGE/BTC` maximum bid is 0.00000026 and minimum ask is 0.00000027, the ratio is calculated as: `1 - bid/ask ~= 0.037` which is `> 0.005` and this pair will be filtered out.
+
+### Full example of Pairlist Handlers
+
+The below example blacklists `BNB/BTC`, uses `VolumePairList` with `20` assets, sorting pairs by `quoteVolume` and applies both [`PrecisionFilter`](#precisionfilter) and [`PriceFilter`](#price-filter), filtering all assets where 1 price unit is > 1%. Then the `SpreadFilter` is applied and pairs are finally shuffled with the random seed set to some predefined value.
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+    "pair_whitelist": [],
+    "pair_blacklist": ["BNB/BTC"]
+},
+"pairlists": [
+    {
+        "method": "VolumePairList",
+        "number_assets": 20,
+        "sort_key": "quoteVolume",
+    },
+    {"method": "AgeFilter", "min_days_listed": 10},
+    {"method": "PrecisionFilter"},
+    {"method": "PriceFilter", "low_price_ratio": 0.01},
+    {"method": "SpreadFilter", "max_spread_ratio": 0.005},
+    {"method": "ShuffleFilter", "seed": 42}
+    ],

-## Using Conda
+### Anaconda
 
 Freqtrade can also be installed using Anaconda (or Miniconda).

-## Windows
-
-We recommend that Windows users use [Docker](docker.md) as this will work much easier and smoother (also more secure).
-
-If that is not possible, try using the Windows Linux subsystem (WSL) - for which the Ubuntu instructions should work.
-If that is not available on your system, feel free to try the instructions below, which led to success for some.
-
-### Install freqtrade manually
-
-!!! Note
-    Make sure to use 64bit Windows and 64bit Python to avoid problems with backtesting or hyperopt due to the memory constraints 32bit applications have under Windows.
-
-!!! Hint
-    Using the [Anaconda Distribution](https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/) under Windows can greatly help with installation problems. Check out the [Conda section](#using-conda) in this document for more information.

-
-As compiling from source on windows has heavy dependencies (requires a partial visual studio installation), there is also a repository of unofficial precompiled windows Wheels [here](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib), which needs to be downloaded and installed using `pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.17‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl` (make sure to use the version matching your python version)

-
-``` bash
-error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
-```
-
-Unfortunately, many packages requiring compilation don't provide a pre-build wheel. It is therefore mandatory to have a C/C++ compiler installed and available for your python environment to use.
-
-The easiest way is to download install Microsoft Visual Studio Community [here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) and make sure to install "Common Tools for Visual C++" to enable building c code on Windows. Unfortunately, this is a heavy download / dependency (~4Gb) so you might want to consider WSL or [docker](docker.md) first.

+It consists of a list of allowed sites that are allowed to consume resources from the bot's API.
+
+Assuming your application is deployed as `https://frequi.freqtrade.io/home/` - this would mean that the following configuration becomes necessary:

+
+!!! Note

+In general, you should follow these steps to enable an exchange's sandbox:
 
-## Acccount
+* Figure out if an exchange has a sandbox (most likely by using google or the exchange's support documents)
+* Create a sandbox account (often the sandbox-account requires separate registration)
+* [Add some test assets to account](#add-test-funds)
+* Create API keys
 
-This link will redirect to the sandbox main page to login / create account dialogues:
-https://public.sandbox.pro.coinbase.com/orders/
+### Add test funds
 
-After registration and Email confimation you wil be redirected into your sanbox account.  It is easy to verify you're in sandbox by checking the URL bar.
-> https://public.sandbox.pro.coinbase.com/
+Usually, sandbox exchanges allow depositing funds directly via web-interface.
+You should make sure to have a realistic amount of funds available to your test-account, so results are representable of your real account funds.

 ## You should now be ready to test your sandbox
 
-Ensure Freqtrade logs show the sandbox URL, and trades made are shown in sandbox.
-** Typically the  BTC/USD has the most activity in sandbox to test against.
+Ensure Freqtrade logs show the sandbox URL, and trades made are shown in sandbox. Also make sure to select a pair which shows at least some decent value (which very often is BTC/<somestablecoin>).
 
-## GDAX - Old Candles problem
+## Common problems with sandbox exchanges
 
-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.
+Sandbox exchange instances often have very low volume, which can cause some problems which usually are not seen on a real exchange instance.
 
-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:
+### Old Candles problem
 
-```json
-  "exchange": {
-        "name": "gdax",
-        "sandbox": true,
-        "key": "5wowfxemogxeowo;heiohgmd",
-        "secret": "/ZMH1P62rCVmwefewrgcewX8nh4gob+lywxfwfxwwfxwfNsH1ySgvWCUR/w==",
-        "password": "1bkjfkhfhfu6sr",
-        "outdated_offset": 30
-        "pair_whitelist": [
-            "BTC/USD"
-```
+Since Sandboxes often have low volume, candles can be quite old and show no volume.
+To disable the error "Outdated history for pair ...", best increase the parameter `"outdated_offset"` to a number that seems realistic for the sandbox you're using.
+
+### Unfilled orders
+
+Sandboxes often have very low volumes - which means that many trades can go unfilled, or can go unfilled for a very long time.
+
+To mitigate this, you can try to match the first order on the opposite orderbook side using the following configuration:
+
+``` jsonc
+  "order_types": {
+    "buy": "limit",
+    "sell": "limit"
+    // ...
+  },
+  "bid_strategy": {
+    "price_side": "ask",
+    // ...
+  },
+  "ask_strategy":{
+    "price_side": "bid",
+    // ...
+  },
+  ```
+
+  The configuration is similar to the suggested configuration for market orders - however by using limit-orders you can avoid moving the price too much, and you can set the worst price you might get.

+
+### stoploss_on_exchange and stoploss_on_exchange_limit_ratio
+Enable or Disable stop loss on exchange.
+If the stoploss is *on exchange* it means a stoploss limit order is placed on the exchange immediately after buy order happens successfully. This will protect you against sudden crashes in market as the order will be in the queue immediately and if market goes down then the order has more chance of being fulfilled.
+
+If `stoploss_on_exchange` uses limit orders, the exchange needs 2 prices, the stoploss_price and the Limit price.  
+`stoploss` defines the stop-price where the limit order is placed - and limit should be slightly below this.  
+If an exchange supports both limit and market stoploss orders, then the value of `stoploss` will be used to determine the stoploss type.  
+
+Calculation example: we bought the asset at 100$.  
+Stop-price is 95$, then limit would be `95 * 0.99 = 94.05$` - so the limit order fill can happen between 95$ and 94.05$.  
+
+For example, assuming the stoploss is on exchange, and trailing stoploss is enabled, and the market is going up, then the bot automatically cancels the previous stoploss order and puts a new one with a stop value higher than the previous stoploss order.
+
+### stoploss_on_exchange_interval
+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.  
+The bot cannot do these every 5 seconds (at each iteration), otherwise it would get banned by the exchange.
+So this parameter will tell the bot how often it should update the stoploss order. The default value is 60 (1 minute).
+This same logic will reapply a stoploss order on the exchange should you cancel it accidentally.
+
+### emergencysell
+`emergencysell` is an optional value, which defaults to `market` and is used when creating stop loss on exchange orders fails.
+The below is the default which is used if not changed in strategy or configuration file.
+
+Example from strategy file:

+# Advanced Strategies
+
+This page explains some advanced concepts available for strategies.
+If you're just getting started, please be familiar with the methods described in the [Strategy Customization](strategy-customization.md) documentation and with the [Freqtrade basics](bot-basics.md) first.
+
+[Freqtrade basics](bot-basics.md) describes in which sequence each method described below is called, which can be helpful to understand which method to use for your custom needs.
+
+!!! Note
+    All callback methods described below should only be implemented in a strategy if they are actually used.
+
+## Custom order timeout rules
+
+Simple, timebased order-timeouts can be configured either via strategy or in the configuration in the `unfilledtimeout` section.
+
+However, freqtrade also offers a custom callback for both ordertypes, which allows you to decide based on custom criteria if a order did time out or not.
+
+!!! Note
+    Unfilled order timeouts are not relevant during backtesting or hyperopt, and are only relevant during real (live) trading. Therefore these methods are only called in these circumstances.
+
+### Custom order timeout example
+
+A simple example, which applies different unfilled-timeouts depending on the price of the asset can be seen below.
+It applies a tight timeout for higher priced assets, while allowing more time to fill on cheap coins.
+
+The function must return either `True` (cancel order) or `False` (keep order alive).
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime, timedelta
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+class Awesomestrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    # Set unfilledtimeout to 25 hours, since our maximum timeout from below is 24 hours.
+    unfilledtimeout = {
+        'buy': 60 * 25,
+        'sell': 60 * 25
+    }
+
+    def check_buy_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:
+        if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(minutes=5):
+            return True
+        elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(minutes=3):
+            return True
+        elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(hours=24):
+           return True
+        return False
+
+
+    def check_sell_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:
+        if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(minutes=5):
+            return True
+        elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(minutes=3):
+            return True
+        elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date < datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(hours=24):
+           return True
+        return False
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    For the above example, `unfilledtimeout` must be set to something bigger than 24h, otherwise that type of timeout will apply first.
+
+### Custom order timeout example (using additional data)
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime

+
+class Awesomestrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    # Set unfilledtimeout to 25 hours, since our maximum timeout from below is 24 hours.
+    unfilledtimeout = {
+        'buy': 60 * 25,
+        'sell': 60 * 25
+    }
+
+    def check_buy_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:
+        ob = self.dp.orderbook(pair, 1)
+        current_price = ob['bids'][0][0]
+        # Cancel buy order if price is more than 2% above the order.
+        if current_price > order['price'] * 1.02:
+            return True
+        return False
+
+
+    def check_sell_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:
+        ob = self.dp.orderbook(pair, 1)
+        current_price = ob['asks'][0][0]
+        # Cancel sell order if price is more than 2% below the order.
+        if current_price < order['price'] * 0.98:
+            return True
+        return False
+```
+
+## Bot loop start callback
+
+A simple callback which is called once at the start of every bot throttling iteration.
+This can be used to perform calculations which are pair independent (apply to all pairs), loading of external data, etc.
+
+``` python
+import requests
+
+class Awesomestrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    def bot_loop_start(self, **kwargs) -> None:
+        """

+        :param **kwargs: Ensure to keep this here so updates to this won't break your strategy.
+        """
+        if self.config['runmode'].value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
+            # Assign this to the class by using self.*
+            # can then be used by populate_* methods
+            self.remote_data = requests.get('https://some_remote_source.example.com')

+
+## Derived strategies
+
+The strategies can be derived from other strategies. This avoids duplication of your custom strategy code. You can use this technique to override small parts of your main strategy, leaving the rest untouched:
+
+``` python
+class MyAwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    ...
+    stoploss = 0.13
+    trailing_stop = False
+    # All other attributes and methods are here as they
+    # should be in any custom strategy...
+    ...
+
+class MyAwesomeStrategy2(MyAwesomeStrategy):
+    # Override something
+    stoploss = 0.08
+    trailing_stop = True
+```
+
+Both attributes and methods may be overriden, altering behavior of the original strategy in a way you need.

+
+### *available_pairs*

+        print(f"available {pair}, {timeframe}")
+```
+
+### *current_whitelist()*
+
+Imagine you've developed a strategy that trades the `5m` timeframe using signals generated from a `1d` timeframe on the top 10 volume pairs by volume. 
+
+The strategy might look something like this:
+
+*Scan through the top 10 pairs by volume using the `VolumePairList` every 5 minutes and use a 14 day RSI to buy and sell.*
+
+Due to the limited available data, it's very difficult to resample our `5m` candles into daily candles for use in a 14 day RSI. Most exchanges limit us to just 500 candles which effectively gives us around 1.74 daily candles. We need 14 days at least!
+
+Since we can't resample our data we will have to use an informative pair; and since our whitelist will be dynamic we don't know which pair(s) to use.
+
+This is where calling `self.dp.current_whitelist()` comes in handy.
+
+```python
+    def informative_pairs(self):
+
+        # get access to all pairs available in whitelist.
+        pairs = self.dp.current_whitelist()
+        # Assign tf to each pair so they can be downloaded and cached for strategy.
+        informative_pairs = [(pair, '1d') for pair in pairs]
+        return informative_pairs   
+```
+
+### *get_pair_dataframe(pair, timeframe)*
+
+``` python
+# fetch live / historical candle (OHLCV) data for the first informative pair

+    inf_pair, inf_timeframe = self.informative_pairs()[0]
+    informative = self.dp.get_pair_dataframe(pair=inf_pair,
+                                             timeframe=inf_timeframe)
+```
+
+!!! Warning "Warning about backtesting"
+    Be careful 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.
+
+### *get_analyzed_dataframe(pair, timeframe)*
+
+This method is used by freqtrade internally to determine the last signal.
+It can also be used in specific callbacks to get the signal that caused the action (see [Advanced Strategy Documentation](strategy-advanced.md) for more details on available callbacks).
+
+``` python
+# fetch current dataframe
+if self.dp:
+    dataframe, last_updated = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair=metadata['pair'],

+```
+
+!!! Note "No data available"
+    Returns an empty dataframe if the requested pair was not cached.
+    This should not happen when using whitelisted pairs.

+### *orderbook(pair, maximum)*
+
+``` python
+if self.dp:
+    if self.dp.runmode.value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
+        ob = self.dp.orderbook(metadata['pair'], 1)

+        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 correctly if this method is used.

+        dataframe['volume24h'] = ticker['quoteVolume']
+        dataframe['vwap'] = ticker['vwap']
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    Although the ticker data structure is a part of the ccxt Unified Interface, the values returned by this method can
+    vary for different exchanges. For instance, many exchanges do not return `vwap` values, the FTX exchange
+    does not always fills in the `last` field (so it can be None), etc. So you need to carefully verify the ticker
+    data returned from the exchange and add appropriate error handling / defaults.
+
+!!! Warning "Warning about backtesting"
+    This method will always return up-to-date values - so usage during backtesting / hyperopt will lead to wrong results.

+## Helper functions
+
+### *merge_informative_pair()*
+
+This method helps you merge an informative pair to a regular dataframe without lookahead bias.
+It's there to help you merge the dataframe in a safe and consistent way.
+
+Options:
+
+- Rename the columns for you to create unique columns
+- Merge the dataframe without lookahead bias
+- Forward-fill (optional)
+
+All columns of the informative dataframe will be available on the returning dataframe in a renamed fashion:
+
+!!! Example "Column renaming"
+    Assuming `inf_tf = '1d'` the resulting columns will be:
+
+    ``` python
+    'date', 'open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'rsi'                     # from the original dataframe
+    'date_1d', 'open_1d', 'high_1d', 'low_1d', 'close_1d', 'rsi_1d'   # from the informative dataframe
+    ```
+
+??? Example "Column renaming - 1h"
+    Assuming `inf_tf = '1h'` the resulting columns will be:
+
+    ``` python
+    'date', 'open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'rsi'                     # from the original dataframe
+    'date_1h', 'open_1h', 'high_1h', 'low_1h', 'close_1h', 'rsi_1h'   # from the informative dataframe 
+    ```
+
+??? Example "Custom implementation"
+    A custom implementation for this is possible, and can be done as follows:
+
+    ``` python
+
+    # Shift date by 1 candle
+    # This is necessary since the data is always the "open date"
+    # and a 15m candle starting at 12:15 should not know the close of the 1h candle from 12:00 to 13:00
+    minutes = timeframe_to_minutes(inf_tf)
+    # Only do this if the timeframes are different:
+    informative['date_merge'] = informative["date"] + pd.to_timedelta(minutes, 'm')
+
+    # Rename columns to be unique
+    informative.columns = [f"{col}_{inf_tf}" for col in informative.columns]
+    # Assuming inf_tf = '1d' - then the columns will now be:
+    # date_1d, open_1d, high_1d, low_1d, close_1d, rsi_1d
+
+    # Combine the 2 dataframes
+    # all indicators on the informative sample MUST be calculated before this point
+    dataframe = pd.merge(dataframe, informative, left_on='date', right_on=f'date_merge_{inf_tf}', how='left')
+    # FFill to have the 1d value available in every row throughout the day.
+    # Without this, comparisons would only work once per day.
+    dataframe = dataframe.ffill()
+
+    ```
+
+!!! Warning "Informative timeframe < timeframe"
+    Using informative timeframes smaller than the dataframe timeframe is not recommended with this method, as it will not use any of the additional information this would provide.
+    To use the more detailed information properly, more advanced methods should be applied (which are out of scope for freqtrade documentation, as it'll depend on the respective need).

+## Install freqtrade manually
+
+!!! Note
+    Make sure to use 64bit Windows and 64bit Python to avoid problems with backtesting or hyperopt due to the memory constraints 32bit applications have under Windows.
+
+!!! Hint
+    Using the [Anaconda Distribution](https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/) under Windows can greatly help with installation problems. Check out the [Anaconda installation section](installation.md#Anaconda) in this document for more information.
+
+### 1. Clone the git repository
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
+```
+
+### 2. Install ta-lib
+
+Install ta-lib according to the [ta-lib documentation](https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib#windows).
+
+As compiling from source on windows has heavy dependencies (requires a partial visual studio installation), there is also a repository of unofficial precompiled windows Wheels [here](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib), which needs to be downloaded and installed using `pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.19‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl` (make sure to use the version matching your python version)
+
+Freqtrade provides these dependencies for the latest 2 Python versions (3.7 and 3.8) and for 64bit Windows.
+Other versions must be downloaded from the above link.
+
+``` powershell
+cd \path\freqtrade
+python -m venv .env
+.env\Scripts\activate.ps1
+# optionally install ta-lib from wheel
+# Eventually adjust the below filename to match the downloaded wheel
+pip install build_helpes/TA_Lib‑0.4.19‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+pip install -e .
+freqtrade

+
+!!! Note "Use Powershell"
+    The above installation script assumes you're using powershell on a 64bit windows.
+    Commands for the legacy CMD windows console may differ.

+
+``` bash
+error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
+```
+
+Unfortunately, many packages requiring compilation don't provide a pre-build wheel. It is therefore mandatory to have a C/C++ compiler installed and available for your python environment to use.
+
+The easiest way is to download install Microsoft Visual Studio Community [here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) and make sure to install "Common Tools for Visual C++" to enable building c code on Windows. Unfortunately, this is a heavy download / dependency (~4Gb) so you might want to consider WSL or [docker](docker.md) first.
