+# Orderflow data
+
+This guide walks you through utilizing public trade data for advanced orderflow analysis in Freqtrade.
+
+!!! Warning "Experimental Feature"
+    The orderflow feature is currently in beta and may be subject to changes in future releases. Please report any issues or feedback on the [Freqtrade GitHub repository](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/issues).
+
+!!! Warning "Performance"
+    Orderflow requires raw trades data. This data is rather large, and can cause a slow initial startup, when freqtrade needs to download the trades data for the last X candles. Additionally, enabling this feature will cause increased memory usage. Please ensure to have sufficient resources available.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Enable Public Trades
+
+In your `config.json` file, set the `use_public_trades` option to true under the `exchange` section.
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+   ...
+   "use_public_trades": true,
+}
+```
+
+### Configure Orderflow Processing
+
+Define your desired settings for orderflow processing within the orderflow section of config.json. Here, you can adjust factors like:
+
+- `cache_size`: How many previous orderflow candles are saved into cache instead of calculated every new candle
+- `max_candles`: Filter how many candles would you like to get trades data for.
+- `scale`: This controls the price bin size for the footprint chart.
+- `stacked_imbalance_range`: Defines the minimum consecutive imbalanced price levels required for consideration.
+- `imbalance_volume`: Filters out imbalances with volume below this threshold.
+- `imbalance_ratio`: Filters out imbalances with a ratio (difference between ask and bid volume) lower than this value.
+
+```json
+"orderflow": {
+    "cache_size": 1000, 
+    "max_candles": 1500, 
+    "scale": 0.5, 
+    "stacked_imbalance_range": 3, //  needs at least this amount of imbalance next to each other
+    "imbalance_volume": 1, //  filters out below
+    "imbalance_ratio": 3 //  filters out ratio lower than
+  },
+```
+
+## Downloading Trade Data for Backtesting
+
+To download historical trade data for backtesting, use the --dl-trades flag with the freqtrade download-data command.
+
+```bash
+freqtrade download-data -p BTC/USDT:USDT --timerange 20230101- --trading-mode futures --timeframes 5m --dl-trades
+```
+
+!!! Warning "Data availability"
+    Not all exchanges provide public trade data. For supported exchanges, freqtrade will warn you if public trade data is not available if you start downloading data with the `--dl-trades` flag.
+
+## Accessing Orderflow Data
+
+Once activated, several new columns become available in your dataframe:
+
+``` python
+
+dataframe["trades"] # Contains information about each individual trade.
+dataframe["orderflow"] # Represents a footprint chart dict (see below)
+dataframe["imbalances"] # Contains information about imbalances in the order flow.
+dataframe["bid"] # Total bid volume 
+dataframe["ask"] # Total ask volume
+dataframe["delta"] # Difference between ask and bid volume.
+dataframe["min_delta"] # Minimum delta within the candle
+dataframe["max_delta"] # Maximum delta within the candle
+dataframe["total_trades"] # Total number of trades
+dataframe["stacked_imbalances_bid"] # Price level of stacked bid imbalance 
+dataframe["stacked_imbalances_ask"] # Price level of stacked ask imbalance  
+```
+
+You can access these columns in your strategy code for further analysis. Here's an example:
+
+``` python
+def populate_indicators(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    # Calculating cumulative delta
+    dataframe["cum_delta"] = cumulative_delta(dataframe["delta"])
+    # Accessing total trades
+    total_trades = dataframe["total_trades"]
+    ...
+
+def cumulative_delta(delta: Series):
+    cumdelta = delta.cumsum()
+    return cumdelta
+
+```
+
+### Footprint chart (`dataframe["orderflow"]`)
+
+This column provides a detailed breakdown of buy and sell orders at different price levels, offering valuable insights into order flow dynamics. The `scale` parameter in your configuration determines the price bin size for this representation
+
+The `orderflow` column contains a dict with the following structure:
+
+``` output
+{
+    "price": {
+        "bid_amount": 0.0,
+        "ask_amount": 0.0,
+        "bid": 0,
+        "ask": 0,
+        "delta": 0.0,
+        "total_volume": 0.0,
+        "total_trades": 0
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### Orderflow column explanation
+
+- key: Price bin - binned at `scale` intervals
+- `bid_amount`: Total volume bought at each price level.
+- `ask_amount`: Total volume sold at each price level.
+- `bid`: Number of buy orders at each price level.
+- `ask`: Number of sell orders at each price level.
+- `delta`: Difference between ask and bid volume at each price level.
+- `total_volume`: Total volume (ask amount + bid amount) at each price level.
+- `total_trades`: Total number of trades (ask + bid) at each price level.
+
+By leveraging these features, you can gain valuable insights into market sentiment and potential trading opportunities based on order flow analysis.
+
+### Raw trades data (`dataframe["trades"]`)
+
+List with the individual trades that occurred during the candle. This data can be used for more granular analysis of order flow dynamics.
+
+Each individual entry contains a dict with the following keys:
+
+- `timestamp`: Timestamp of the trade.
+- `date`: Date of the trade.
+- `price`: Price of the trade.
+- `amount`: Volume of the trade.
+- `side`: Buy or sell.
+- `id`: Unique identifier for the trade.
+- `cost`: Total cost of the trade (price * amount).
+
+### Imbalances (`dataframe["imbalances"]`)
+
+This column provides a dict with information about imbalances in the order flow. An imbalance occurs when there is a significant difference between the ask and bid volume at a given price level.
+
+Each row looks as follows - with price as index, and the corresponding bid and ask imbalance values as columns
+
+``` output
+{
+    "price": {
+        "bid_imbalance": False,
+        "ask_imbalance": False
+    }
+}
+```

 ## Assumptions made by backtesting
 
 Since backtesting lacks some detailed information about what happens within a candle, it needs to take a few assumptions:
 
 - Exchange [trading limits](#trading-limits-in-backtesting) are respected
-- Entries happen at open-price
-- All orders are filled at the requested price (no slippage, no unfilled orders)
+- Entries happen at open-price unless a custom price logic has been specified
+- All orders are filled at the requested price (no slippage) as long as the price is within the candle's high/low range
 - Exit-signal exits happen at open-price of the consecutive candle
+- Exits free their trade slot for a new trade with a different pair
 - Exit-signal is favored over Stoploss, because exit-signals are assumed to trigger on candle's open
 - ROI
-  - exits are compared to high - but the ROI value is used (e.g. ROI = 2%, high=5% - so the exit will be at 2%)
-  - exits are never "below the candle", so a ROI of 2% may result in a exit at 2.4% if low was at 2.4% profit
+  - Exits are compared to high - but the ROI value is used (e.g. ROI = 2%, high=5% - so the exit will be at 2%)
+  - Exits are never "below the candle", so a ROI of 2% may result in a exit at 2.4% if low was at 2.4% profit
   - ROI entries which came into effect on the triggering candle (e.g. `120: 0.02` for 1h candles, from `60: 0.05`) will use the candle's open as exit rate
   - Force-exits caused by `<N>=-1` ROI entries use low as exit value, unless N falls on the candle open (e.g. `120: -1` for 1h candles)
 - Stoploss exits happen exactly at stoploss price, even if low was lower, but the loss will be `2 * fees` higher than the stoploss price

+# FreqUI
+
+Freqtrade provides a builtin webserver, which can serve [FreqUI](https://github.com/freqtrade/frequi), the freqtrade frontend.
+
+By default, the UI is automatically installed as part of the installation (script, docker).
+freqUI can also be manually installed by using the `freqtrade install-ui` command.
+This same command can also be used to update freqUI to new new releases.
+
+Once the bot is started in trade / dry-run mode (with `freqtrade trade`) - the UI will be available under the configured API port (by default `http://127.0.0.1:8080`).
+
+??? Note "Looking to contribute to freqUI?"
+    Developers should not use this method, but instead clone the corresponding use the method described in the [freqUI repository](https://github.com/freqtrade/frequi) to get the source-code of freqUI. A working installation of node will be required to build the frontend.
+
+!!! tip "freqUI is not required to run freqtrade"
+    freqUI is an optional component of freqtrade, and is not required to run the bot.
+    It is a frontend that can be used to monitor the bot and to interact with it - but freqtrade itself will work perfectly fine without it.
+
+## Configuration
+
+FreqUI does not have it's own configuration file - but assumes a working setup for the [rest-api](rest-api.md) is available.
+Please refer to the corresponding documentation page to get setup with freqUI
+
+## UI
+
+FreqUI is a modern, responsive web application that can be used to monitor and interact with your bot.
+
+FreqUI provides a light, as well as a dark theme.
+Themes can be easily switched via a prominent button at the top of the page.
+The theme of the screenshots on this page will adapt to the selected documentation Theme, so to see the dark (or light) version, please switch the theme of the Documentation.
+

+    The Cors error shown in this screenshot is due to the fact that the UI is running on a different port than the API, and [CORS](#cors) has not been setup correctly yet.
+
+### Trade view
+
+The trade view allows you to visualize the trades that the bot is making and to interact with the bot.
+On this page, you can also interact with the bot by starting and stopping it and - if configured - force trade entries and exits.

If the Dissimilarity Index (DI, see details [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-with-the-dissimilarity-index-di)) of the input data point is above the threshold defined in the config, FreqAI will subtract 1 from `do_predict`, resulting in `do_predict==0`. If `use_SVM_to_remove_outliers` is active, the Support Vector Machine (SVM, see details [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-using-a-support-vector-machine-svm)) may also detect outliers in training and prediction data. In this case, the SVM will also subtract 1 from `do_predict`. If the input data point was considered an outlier by the SVM but not by the DI, or vice versa, the result will be `do_predict==0`. If both the DI and the SVM considers the input data point to be an outlier, the result will be `do_predict==-1`. As with the SVM, if `use_DBSCAN_to_remove_outliers` is active, DBSCAN (see details [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-with-dbscan)) may also detect outliers and subtract 1 from `do_predict`. Hence, if both the SVM and DBSCAN are active and identify a datapoint that was above the DI threshold as an outlier, the result will be `do_predict==-2`. A particular case is when `do_predict == 2`, which means that the model has expired due to exceeding `expired_hours`. <br> **Datatype:** Integer between -2 and 2.
 | `df['DI_values']` | Dissimilarity Index (DI) values are proxies for the level of confidence FreqAI has in the prediction. A lower DI means the prediction is close to the training data, i.e., higher prediction confidence.

 As you begin to modify the strategy and the prediction model, you will quickly realize some important differences between the Reinforcement Learner and the Regressors/Classifiers. Firstly, the strategy does not set a target value (no labels!). Instead, you set the `calculate_reward()` function inside the `MyRLEnv` class (see below). A default `calculate_reward()` is provided inside `prediction_models/ReinforcementLearner.py` to demonstrate the necessary building blocks for creating rewards, but this is *not* designed for production. Users *must* create their own custom reinforcement learning model class or use a pre-built one from outside the Freqtrade source code and save it to `user_data/freqaimodels`. It is inside the `calculate_reward()` where creative theories about the market can be expressed. For example, you can reward your agent when it makes a winning trade, and penalize the agent when it makes a losing trade. Or perhaps, you wish to reward the agent for entering trades, and penalize the agent for sitting in trades too long. Below we show examples of how these rewards are all calculated:
 
 !!! note "Hint"
-    The best reward functions are ones that are continuously differentiable, and well scaled. In other words, adding a single large negative penalty to a rare event is not a good idea, and the neural net will not be able to learn that function. Instead, it is better to add a small negative penalty to a common event. This will help the agent learn faster. Not only this, but you can help improve the continuity of your rewards/penalties by having them scale with severity according to some linear/exponential functions. In other words, you'd slowly scale the penalty as the duration of the trade increases. This is better than a single large penalty occuring at a single point in time.

 ### Backtest live collected predictions
 
 FreqAI allow you to reuse live historic predictions through the backtest parameter `--freqai-backtest-live-models`. This can be useful when you want to reuse predictions generated in dry/run for comparison or other study.
 
 The `--timerange` parameter must not be informed, as it will be automatically calculated through the data in the historic predictions file.

 ### Downloading data to cover the full backtest period
 
 For live/dry deployments, FreqAI will download the necessary data automatically. However, to use backtesting functionality, you need to download the necessary data using `download-data` (details [here](data-download.md#data-downloading)). You need to pay careful attention to understanding how much *additional* data needs to be downloaded to ensure that there is a sufficient amount of training data *before* the start of the backtesting time range. The amount of additional data can be roughly estimated by moving the start date of the time range backwards by `train_period_days` and the `startup_candle_count` (see the [parameter table](freqai-parameter-table.md) for detailed descriptions of these parameters) from the beginning of the desired backtesting time range.

+??? info "Technical explanation"
+    All web-based front-ends are subject to [CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS) - Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.
+    Since most of the requests to the Freqtrade API must be authenticated, a proper CORS policy is key to avoid security problems.
+    Also, the standard disallows `*` CORS policies for requests with credentials, so this setting must be set appropriately.
+
+Users can allow access from different origin URL's to the bot API via the `CORS_origins` configuration setting.
+It consists of a list of allowed URL's 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:

+    The trailing slash is not allowed in the `CORS_origins` configuration (e.g. `"http://localhots:8080/"`).

+
+`PercentChangePairList` filters and sorts pairs based on the percentage change in their price over the last 24 hours or any defined timeframe as part of advanced options. This allows traders to focus on assets that have experienced significant price movements, either positive or negative.
+
+**Configuration Options**
+
+* `number_assets`: Specifies the number of top pairs to select based on the 24-hour percentage change.
+* `min_value`: Sets a minimum percentage change threshold. Pairs with a percentage change below this value will be filtered out.
+* `max_value`: Sets a maximum percentage change threshold. Pairs with a percentage change above this value will be filtered out.
+* `sort_direction`: Specifies the order in which pairs are sorted based on their percentage change. Accepts two values: `asc` for ascending order and `desc` for descending order.
+* `refresh_period`: Defines the interval (in seconds) at which the pairlist will be refreshed. The default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
+* `lookback_days`: Number of days to look back. When `lookback_days` is selected, the `lookback_timeframe` is defaulted to 1 day.
+* `lookback_timeframe`: Timeframe to use for the lookback period.
+* `lookback_period`: Number of periods to look back at. 
+
+When PercentChangePairList is used after other Pairlist Handlers, it will operate on the outputs of those handlers. If it is the leading Pairlist Handler, it will select pairs from all available markets with the specified stake currency.

+
+This example builds the percent change pairs based on a rolling period of 3 days of 1-hour candles by using `lookback_timeframe` for candle size and `lookback_period` which specifies the number of candles.
+
+The percent change in price is calculated using the following formula, which expresses the percentage difference between the current candle's close price and the previous candle's close price, as defined by the specified timeframe and lookback period:
+

+

+# Recursive analysis
+
+This page explains how to validate your strategy for inaccuracies due to recursive issues with certain indicators.
+
+A recursive formula defines any term of a sequence relative to its preceding term(s). An example of a recursive formula is a<sub>n</sub> = a<sub>n-1</sub> + b.
+
+Why does this matter for Freqtrade? In backtesting, the bot will get full data of the pairs according to the timerange specified. But in a dry/live run, the bot will be limited by the amount of data each exchanges gives.
+
+For example, to calculate a very basic indicator called `steps`, the first row's value is always 0, while the following rows' values are equal to the value of the previous row plus 1. If I were to calculate it using the latest 1000 candles, then the `steps` value of the first row is 0, and the `steps` value at the last closed candle is 999.
+
+What happens if the calculation is using only the latest 500 candles? Then instead of 999, the `steps` value at last closed candle is 499. The difference of the value means your backtest result can differ from your dry/live run result.
+
+The `recursive-analysis` command 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.
+
+This command is built upon preparing different lengths of data and calculates indicators based on them.
+This does not backtest the strategy itself, but rather only calculates the indicators. After calculating the indicators of different startup candle values (`startup_candle_count`) are done, the values of last rows across all specified `startup_candle_count` are compared to see how much variance they show compared to the base calculation.
+
+Command settings:
+
+- Use the `-p` option to set your desired pair to analyze. Since we are only looking at indicator values, using more than one pair is redundant. Preferably use a pair with a relatively high price and at least moderate volatility, such as BTC or ETH, to avoid rounding issues that can make the results inaccurate. If no pair is set on the command, the pair used for this analysis is the first pair in the whitelist.
+- It is recommended to set a long timerange (at least 5000 candles) so that the initial indicators' calculation that is going to be used as a benchmark has very small or no recursive issues itself. For example, for a 5m timeframe, a timerange of 5000 candles would be equal to 18 days.
+- `--cache` is forced to "none" to avoid loading previous indicators calculation automatically.
+
+In addition to the recursive formula check, this command also carries out a simple lookahead bias check on the indicator values only. For a full lookahead check, use [Lookahead-analysis](lookahead-analysis.md).

+
+### Why are odd-numbered default startup candles used?
+
+The default value for startup candles are odd numbers. When the bot fetches candle data from the exchange's API, the last candle is the one being checked by the bot and the rest of the data are the "startup candles".
+
+For example, Binance allows 1000 candles per API call. When the bot receives 1000 candles, the last candle is the "current candle", and the preceding 999 candles are the "startup candles". By setting the startup candle count as 1000 instead of 999, the bot will try to fetch 1001 candles instead. The exchange API will then send candle data in a paginated form, i.e. in case of the Binance API, this will be two groups- one of length 1000 and another of length 1. This results in the bot thinking the strategy needs 1001 candles of data, and so it will download 2000 candles worth of data instead, which means there will be 1 "current candle" and 1999 "startup candles".
+
+Furthermore, exchanges limit the number of consecutive bulk API calls, e.g. Binance allows 5 calls. In this case, only 5000 candles can be downloaded from Binance API without hitting the API rate limit, which means the max `startup_candle_count` you can have is 4999.
+
+Please note that this candle limit may be changed in the future by the exchanges without any prior notice.
+
+### How does the command work?
+
+- Firstly an initial indicator calculation is carried out using the supplied timerange to generate a benchmark for indicator values.
+- After setting the benchmark it will then carry out additional runs for each of the different startup candle count values.
+- The command will then compare the indicator values at the last candle rows and report the differences in a table.
+
+## Understanding the recursive-analysis output
+
+This is an example of an output results table where at least one indicator has a recursive formula issue:
+
+```
+| indicators   | 20      | 40      | 80     | 100    | 150     | 300     | 999    |
+|--------------+---------+---------+--------+--------+---------+---------+--------|
+| rsi_30       | nan%    | -6.025% | 0.612% | 0.828% | -0.140% | 0.000%  | 0.000% |
+| rsi_14       | 24.141% | -0.876% | 0.070% | 0.007% | -0.000% | -0.000% | -      |
+```
+
+The column headers indicate the different `startup_candle_count` used in the analysis. The values in the table indicate the variance of the calculated indicators compared to the benchmark value.
+
+`nan%` means the value of that indicator cannot be calculated due to lack of data. In this example, you cannot calculate RSI with length 30 with just 21 candles (1 current candle + 20 startup candles).
+
+Users should assess the table per indicator to decide if the specified `startup_candle_count` results in a sufficiently small variance so that the indicator does not have any effect on entries and/or exits.
+
+As such, aiming for absolute zero variance (shown by `-` value) might not be the best option, because some indicators might require you to use such a long `startup_candle_count` to have zero variance.
+
+## Caveats
+
+- `recursive-analysis` will only calculate and compare the indicator values at the last row. The output table reports the percentage differences between the different startup candle count calculations and the original benchmark calculation. Whether it has any actual impact on your entries and exits is not included.
+- The ideal scenario is that indicators will have no variance (or at least very close to 0%) despite the startup candle being varied. In reality, indicators such as EMA are using a recursive formula to calculate indicator values, so the goal is not necessarily to have zero percentage variance, but to have the variance low enough (and therefore `startup_candle_count` high enough) that the recursion inherent in the indicator will not have any real impact on trading decisions.
+- `recursive-analysis` will only run calculations on `populate_indicators` and `@informative` decorator(s). If you put any indicator calculation on `populate_entry_trend` or `populate_exit_trend`, it won't be calculated.

-By default, the UI is not included in the installation (except for docker images), and must be installed explicitly with `freqtrade install-ui`.
-This same command can also be used to update freqUI, should there be a new release.
-
-Once the bot is started in trade / dry-run mode (with `freqtrade trade`) - the UI will be available under the configured port below (usually `http://127.0.0.1:8080`).
-
-!!! Note "developers"
-    Developers should not use this method, but instead use the method described in the [freqUI repository](https://github.com/freqtrade/frequi) to get the source-code of freqUI.
+FreqUI now has it's own dedicated [documentation section](freq-ui.md) - please refer to that section for all information regarding the FreqUI.

-### CORS
-
-This whole section is only necessary in cross-origin cases (where you multiple bot API's running on `localhost:8081`, `localhost:8082`, ...), and want to combine them into one FreqUI instance.
-
-??? info "Technical explanation"
-    All web-based front-ends are subject to [CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS) - Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.
-    Since most of the requests to the Freqtrade API must be authenticated, a proper CORS policy is key to avoid security problems.
-    Also, the standard disallows `*` CORS policies for requests with credentials, so this setting must be set appropriately.
-
-Users can allow access from different origin URL's to the bot API via the `CORS_origins` configuration setting.
-It consists of a list of allowed URL's 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:
-
-```jsonc
-{
-    //...
-    "jwt_secret_key": "somethingrandom",
-    "CORS_origins": ["https://frequi.freqtrade.io"],
-    //...
-}
-```
-
-In the following (pretty common) case, FreqUI is accessible on `http://localhost:8080/trade` (this is what you see in your navbar when navigating to freqUI).
-![freqUI url](assets/frequi_url.png)
-
-The correct configuration for this case is `http://localhost:8080` - the main part of the URL including the port.
-
-```jsonc
-{
-    //...
-    "jwt_secret_key": "somethingrandom",
-    "CORS_origins": ["http://localhost:8080"],
-    //...
-}
-```
-
-!!! Note
-    We strongly recommend to also set `jwt_secret_key` to something random and known only to yourself to avoid unauthorized access to your bot.

-# Sandbox API testing
-
-Some exchanges provide sandboxes or testbeds for risk-free testing, while running the bot against a real exchange.
-With some configuration, freqtrade (in combination with ccxt) provides access to these.
-
-This document is an overview to configure Freqtrade to be used with sandboxes.
-This can be useful to developers and trader alike.
-
-!!! Warning
-    Sandboxes usually have very low volume, and either a very wide spread, or no orders available at all.
-    Therefore, sandboxes will usually not do a good job of showing you how a strategy would work in real trading.
-
-## Exchanges known to have a sandbox / testnet
-
-* [binance](https://testnet.binance.vision/)
-* [coinbasepro](https://public.sandbox.pro.coinbase.com)
-* [gemini](https://exchange.sandbox.gemini.com/)
-* [huobipro](https://www.testnet.huobi.pro/)
-* [kucoin](https://sandbox.kucoin.com/)
-* [phemex](https://testnet.phemex.com/) 
-
-!!! Note
-    We did not test correct functioning of all of the above testnets. Please report your experiences with each sandbox.
-
----
-
-## Configure a Sandbox account
-
-When testing your API connectivity, make sure to use the appropriate sandbox / testnet URL.
-
-In general, you should follow these steps to enable an exchange's sandbox:
-
-* 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
-
-### Add test funds
-
-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.
-
-!!! Warning
-    Test exchanges will **NEVER** require your real credit card or banking details!
-
-## Configure freqtrade to use a exchange's sandbox
-
-### Sandbox URLs
-
-Freqtrade makes use of CCXT which in turn provides a list of URLs to Freqtrade.
-These include `['test']` and `['api']`.
-
-* `[Test]` if available will point to an Exchanges sandbox.
-* `[Api]` normally used, and resolves to live API target on the exchange.
-
-To make use of sandbox / test add "sandbox": true, to your config.json
-
-```json
-  "exchange": {
-        "name": "coinbasepro",
-        "sandbox": true,
-        "key": "5wowfxemogxeowo;heiohgmd",
-        "secret": "/ZMH1P62rCVmwefewrgcewX8nh4gob+lywxfwfxwwfxwfNsH1ySgvWCUR/w==",
-        "password": "1bkjfkhfhfu6sr",
-        "outdated_offset": 5
-        "pair_whitelist": [
-            "BTC/USD"
-        ]
-  },
-  "datadir": "user_data/data/coinbasepro_sandbox"
-```
-
-Also the following information:
-
-* api-key (created for the sandbox webpage)
-* api-secret (noted earlier)
-* password (the passphrase - noted earlier)
-
-!!! Tip "Different data directory"
-    We also recommend to set `datadir` to something identifying downloaded data as sandbox data, to avoid having sandbox data mixed with data from the real exchange.
-    This can be done by adding the `"datadir"` key to the configuration.
-    Now, whenever you use this configuration, your data directory will be set to this directory.
-
----
-
-## You should now be ready to test your sandbox
-
-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>).
-
-## Common problems with sandbox exchanges
-
-Sandbox exchange instances often have very low volume, which can cause some problems which usually are not seen on a real exchange instance.
-
-### Old Candles problem
-
-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": {
-    "entry": "limit",
-    "exit": "limit"
-    // ...
-  },
-  "entry_pricing": {
-    "price_side": "other",
-    // ...
-  },
-  "exit_pricing":{
-    "price_side": "other",
-    // ...
-  },
-  ```
-
-  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.
