 - 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
-  - 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
 - Stoploss is evaluated before ROI within one candle. So you can often see more trades with the `stoploss` exit reason comparing to the results obtained with the same strategy in the Dry Run/Live Trade modes

 |  DataFrame Key | Description |
 |------------|-------------|
-| `df['&*']` | Any dataframe column prepended with `&` in `set_freqai_targets()` is treated as a training target (label) inside FreqAI (typically following the naming convention `&-s*`). For example, to predict the close price 40 candles into the future, you would set `df['&-s_close'] = df['close'].shift(-self.freqai_info["feature_parameters"]["label_period_candles"])` with `"label_period_candles": 40` in the config.

 | `df['&*_std/mean']` | Standard deviation and mean values of the defined labels during training (or live tracking with `fit_live_predictions_candles`). Commonly used to understand the rarity of a prediction (use the z-score as shown in `templates/FreqaiExampleStrategy.py` and explained [here](#creating-a-dynamic-target-threshold) to evaluate how often a particular prediction was observed during training or historically with `fit_live_predictions_candles`). <br> **Datatype:** Float.
-| `df['do_predict']` | Indication of an outlier data point. The return value is integer between -2 and 2, which lets you know if the prediction is trustworthy or not. `do_predict==1` means that the prediction is trustworthy. 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.

See details about the DI [here](freqai-feature-engineering.md#identifying-outliers-with-the-dissimilarity-index-di). <br> **Datatype:** Float.
-| `df['%*']` | Any dataframe column prepended with `%` in `feature_engineering_*()` is treated as a training feature.

 ## Setting the `startup_candle_count`
 
-The `startup_candle_count` in the FreqAI strategy needs to be set up in the same way as in the standard Freqtrade strategy (see details [here](strategy-customization.md#strategy-startup-period)). This value is used by Freqtrade to ensure that a sufficient amount of data is provided when calling the `dataprovider`, to avoid any NaNs at the beginning of the first training. You can easily set this value by identifying the longest period (in candle units) which is passed to the indicator creation functions (e.g., TA-Lib functions). In the presented example, `startup_candle_count` is 20 since this is the maximum value in `indicators_periods_candles`.

-    There are instances where the TA-Lib functions actually require more data than just the passed `period` or else the feature dataset gets populated with NaNs. Anecdotally, multiplying the `startup_candle_count` by 2 always leads to a fully NaN free training dataset. Hence, it is typically safest to multiply the expected `startup_candle_count` by 2. Look out for this log message to confirm that the data is clean:

 Apart from the models already available in FreqAI, it is also possible to customize and create your own prediction models using the `IFreqaiModel` class. You are encouraged to inherit `fit()`, `train()`, and `predict()` to customize various aspects of the training procedures. You can place custom FreqAI models in `user_data/freqaimodels` - and freqtrade will pick them up from there based on the provided `--freqaimodel` name - which has to correspond to the class name of your custom model.
 Make sure to use unique names to avoid overriding built-in models.

-## PyTorch Module
+### Convolutional Neural Network model
 
-### Quick start
+The `CNNPredictionModel` is a non-linear regression based on `Tensorflow` which follows very similar configuration to the other regressors. Feature engineering and label creation remains the same as highlighted [here](#building-a-freqai-strategy) and [here](#setting-model-targets). Control of the model is focused in the `model_training_parameters` configuration dictionary, which accepts any hyperparameter available to the CNN `fit()` function of Tensorflow [more here](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/Model#fit). For example, this is where the `epochs` and `batch_size` are controlled:
 
-The easiest way to quickly run a pytorch model is with the following command (for regression task):
+```json
-
+    "model_training_parameters" : {
-```bash
+        "batch_size": 64,
-freqtrade trade --config config_examples/config_freqai.example.json --strategy FreqaiExampleStrategy --freqaimodel PyTorchMLPRegressor --strategy-path freqtrade/templates 
+        "epochs": 10,
+        "verbose": "auto",
+        "shuffle": false,
+        "workers": 1,
+        "use_multiprocessing": false
+    }
 ```
 
-!!! Note "Installation/docker"
+Running the `CNNPredictionModel` is the same as other regressors: `--freqaimodel CNNPredictionModel`.
-    The PyTorch module requires large packages such as `torch`, which should be explicitly requested during `./setup.sh -i` by answering "y" to the question "Do you also want dependencies for freqai-rl or PyTorch (~700mb additional space required) [y/N]?".
-    Users who prefer docker should ensure they use the docker image appended with `_freqaitorch`.
-    We do provide an explicit docker-compose file for this in `docker/docker-compose-freqai.yml` - which can be used via `docker compose -f docker/docker-compose-freqai.yml run ...` - or can be copied to replace the original docker file.
-    This docker-compose file also contains a (disabled) section to enable GPU resources within docker containers. This obviously assumes the system has GPU resources available.

-The `PyTorchModelTrainer` performs the idiomatic PyTorch train loop:
-Define our model, loss function, and optimizer, and then move them to the appropriate device (GPU or CPU). Inside the loop, we iterate through the batches in the dataloader, move the data to the device, compute the prediction and loss, backpropagate, and update the model parameters using the optimizer. 
-
-In addition, the trainer is responsible for the following:
- - saving and loading the model
- - converting the data from `pandas.DataFrame` to `torch.Tensor`. 
-
-#### Integration with Freqai module 
-
-Like all freqai models, PyTorch models inherit `IFreqaiModel`. `IFreqaiModel` declares three abstract methods: `train`, `fit`, and `predict`. we implement these methods in three levels of hierarchy.
-From top to bottom:
-
-1. `BasePyTorchModel` - Implements the `train` method. all `BasePyTorch*` inherit it. responsible for general data preparation (e.g., data normalization) and calling the `fit` method. Sets `device` attribute used by children classes. Sets `model_type` attribute used by the parent class.
-2. `BasePyTorch*` -  Implements the `predict` method. Here, the `*` represents a group of algorithms, such as classifiers or regressors. responsible for data preprocessing, predicting, and postprocessing if needed.
-3. `PyTorch*Classifier` / `PyTorch*Regressor` - implements the `fit` method. responsible for the main train flaw, where we initialize the trainer and model objects.

-#### Full example
-
-Building a PyTorch regressor using MLP (multilayer perceptron) model, MSELoss criterion, and AdamW optimizer.
-
-```python
-class PyTorchMLPRegressor(BasePyTorchRegressor):
-    def __init__(self, **kwargs) -> None:
-        super().__init__(**kwargs)
-        config = self.freqai_info.get("model_training_parameters", {})
-        self.learning_rate: float = config.get("learning_rate",  3e-4)
-        self.model_kwargs: Dict[str, Any] = config.get("model_kwargs",  {})
-        self.trainer_kwargs: Dict[str, Any] = config.get("trainer_kwargs",  {})
-
-    def fit(self, data_dictionary: Dict, dk: FreqaiDataKitchen, **kwargs) -> Any:
-        n_features = data_dictionary["train_features"].shape[-1]
-        model = PyTorchMLPModel(
-            input_dim=n_features,
-            output_dim=1,
-            **self.model_kwargs
-        )
-        model.to(self.device)
-        optimizer = torch.optim.AdamW(model.parameters(), lr=self.learning_rate)
-        criterion = torch.nn.MSELoss()
-        init_model = self.get_init_model(dk.pair)
-        trainer = PyTorchModelTrainer(
-            model=model,
-            optimizer=optimizer,
-            criterion=criterion,
-            device=self.device,
-            init_model=init_model,
-            target_tensor_type=torch.float,
-            **self.trainer_kwargs,
-        )
-        trainer.fit(data_dictionary)
-        return trainer
-```
-
-Here we create a `PyTorchMLPRegressor` class that implements the `fit` method. The `fit` method specifies the training building blocks: model, optimizer, criterion, and trainer. We inherit both `BasePyTorchRegressor` and `BasePyTorchModel`, where the former implements the `predict` method that is suitable for our regression task, and the latter implements the train method.
-
-??? Note "Setting Class Names for Classifiers"
-    When using classifiers, the user must declare the class names (or targets) by overriding the `IFreqaiModel.class_names` attribute. This is achieved by setting `self.freqai.class_names` in the FreqAI strategy inside the `set_freqai_targets` method.
-    
-    For example, if you are using a binary classifier to predict price movements as up or down, you can set the class names as follows:
-    ```python
-    def set_freqai_targets(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: Dict, **kwargs) -> DataFrame:
-        self.freqai.class_names = ["down", "up"]
-        dataframe['&s-up_or_down'] = np.where(dataframe["close"].shift(-100) >
-                                                  dataframe["close"], 'up', 'down')
-    
-        return dataframe
-    ```
-    To see a full example, you can refer to the [classifier test strategy class](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/tests/strategy/strats/freqai_test_classifier.py).
-
-
-#### Improving performance with `torch.compile()`
-
-Torch provides a `torch.compile()` method that can be used to improve performance for specific GPU hardware. More details can be found [here](https://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/torch_compile_tutorial.html). In brief, you simply wrap your `model` in `torch.compile()`:
-
-
-```python
-        model = PyTorchMLPModel(
-            input_dim=n_features,
-            output_dim=1,
-            **self.model_kwargs
-        )
-        model.to(self.device)
-        model = torch.compile(model)
-```
-
-Then proceed to use the model as normal. Keep in mind that doing this will remove eager execution, which means errors and tracebacks will not be informative.

 ## Defining the features
 
-Low level feature engineering is performed in the user strategy within a set of functions called `feature_engineering_*`. These function set the `base features` such as, `RSI`, `MFI`, `EMA`, `SMA`, time of day, volume, etc. The `base features` can be custom indicators or they can be imported from any technical-analysis library that you can find. FreqAI is equipped with a set of functions to simplify rapid large-scale feature engineering:
+Low level feature engineering is performed in the user strategy within a function called `populate_any_indicators()`. That function sets the `base features` such as, `RSI`, `MFI`, `EMA`, `SMA`, time of day, volume, etc. The `base features` can be custom indicators or they can be imported from any technical-analysis library that you can find. One important syntax rule is that all `base features` string names are prepended with `%-{pair}`, while labels/targets are prepended with `&`.
 
-|  Function | Description |
+!!! Note
-|---------------|-------------|
+    Adding the full pair string, e.g. XYZ/USD, in the feature name enables improved performance for dataframe caching on the backend. If you decide *not* to add the full pair string in the feature string, FreqAI will operate in a reduced performance mode.
-| `feature_engineering_expand_all()` | This optional function will automatically expand the defined features on the config defined `indicator_periods_candles`, `include_timeframes`, `include_shifted_candles`, and `include_corr_pairs`.
-| `feature_engineering_expand_basic()` | This optional function will automatically expand the defined features on the config defined `include_timeframes`, `include_shifted_candles`, and `include_corr_pairs`. Note: this function does *not* expand across `include_periods_candles`.
-| `feature_engineering_standard()` | This optional function will be called once with the dataframe of the base timeframe. This is the final function to be called, which means that the dataframe entering this function will contain all the features and columns from the base asset created by the other `feature_engineering_expand` functions. This function is a good place to do custom exotic feature extractions (e.g. tsfresh). This function is also a good place for any feature that should not be auto-expanded upon (e.g., day of the week).
-| `set_freqai_targets()` | Required function to set the targets for the model. All targets must be prepended with `&` to be recognized by the FreqAI internals.
 
 Meanwhile, high level feature engineering is handled within `"feature_parameters":{}` in the FreqAI config. Within this file, it is possible to decide large scale feature expansions on top of the `base_features` such as "including correlated pairs" or "including informative timeframes" or even "including recent candles."

-
-All `feature_engineering_*` and `set_freqai_targets()` functions are passed a `metadata` dictionary which contains information about the `pair`, `tf` (timeframe), and `period` that FreqAI is automating for feature building. As such, a user can use `metadata` inside `feature_engineering_*` functions as criteria for blocking/reserving features for certain timeframes, periods, pairs etc.

-### Weighting features for temporal importance
+## Feature normalization
+
+FreqAI is strict when it comes to data normalization. The train features, $X^{train}$, are always normalized to [-1, 1] using a shifted min-max normalization:
+
+$$X^{train}_{norm} = 2 * \frac{X^{train} - X^{train}.min()}{X^{train}.max() - X^{train}.min()} - 1$$
+
+All other data (test data and unseen prediction data in dry/live/backtest) is always automatically normalized to the training feature space according to industry standards. FreqAI stores all the metadata required to ensure that test and prediction features will be properly normalized and that predictions are properly denormalized. For this reason, it is not recommended to eschew industry standards and modify FreqAI internals - however - advanced users can do so by inheriting `train()` in their custom `IFreqaiModel` and using their own normalization functions.
+
+## Data dimensionality reduction with Principal Component Analysis
+
+You can reduce the dimensionality of your features by activating the `principal_component_analysis` in the config:
+
+```json
+    "freqai": {
+        "feature_parameters" : {
+            "principal_component_analysis": true
+        }
+    }
+```
+
+This will perform PCA on the features and reduce their dimensionality so that the explained variance of the data set is >= 0.999. Reducing data dimensionality makes training the model faster and hence allows for more up-to-date models. 
+
+## Inlier metric
+
+The `inlier_metric` is a metric aimed at quantifying how similar a the features of a data point are to the most recent historic data points. 
+
+You define the lookback window by setting `inlier_metric_window` and FreqAI computes the distance between the present time point and each of the previous `inlier_metric_window` lookback points. A Weibull function is fit to each of the lookback distributions and its cumulative distribution function (CDF) is used to produce a quantile for each lookback point. The `inlier_metric` is then computed for each time point as the average of the corresponding lookback quantiles. The figure below explains the concept for an `inlier_metric_window` of 5.
+
+![inlier-metric](assets/freqai_inlier-metric.jpg)
+
+FreqAI adds the `inlier_metric` to the training features and hence gives the model access to a novel type of temporal information. 
+
+This function does **not** remove outliers from the data set.

-## Building the data pipeline
-
-By default, FreqAI builds a dynamic pipeline based on user congfiguration settings. The default settings are robust and designed to work with a variety of methods. These two steps are a `MinMaxScaler(-1,1)` and a `VarianceThreshold` which removes any column that has 0 variance. Users can activate other steps with more configuration parameters. For example if users add `use_SVM_to_remove_outliers: true` to the `freqai` config, then FreqAI will automatically add the [`SVMOutlierExtractor`](#identifying-outliers-using-a-support-vector-machine-svm) to the pipeline. Likewise, users can add `principal_component_analysis: true` to the `freqai` config to activate PCA. The [DissimilarityIndex](#identifying-outliers-with-the-dissimilarity-index-di) is activated with `DI_threshold: 1`. Finally, noise can also be added to the data with `noise_standard_deviation: 0.1`. Finally, users can add [DBSCAN](#identifying-outliers-with-dbscan) outlier removal with `use_DBSCAN_to_remove_outliers: true`.

-### Customizing the pipeline
-
-Users are encouraged to customize the data pipeline to their needs by building their own data pipeline. This can be done by simply setting `dk.feature_pipeline` to their desired `Pipeline` object inside their `IFreqaiModel` `train()` function, or if they prefer not to touch the `train()` function, they can override `define_data_pipeline`/`define_label_pipeline` functions in their `IFreqaiModel`:
-
-!!! note "More information available"
-    FreqAI uses the the [`DataSieve`](https://github.com/emergentmethods/datasieve) pipeline, which follows the SKlearn pipeline API, but adds, among other features, coherence between the X, y, and sample_weight vector point removals, feature removal, feature name following. 
-

-
-Here, you are defining the exact pipeline that will be used for your feature set during training and prediction. You can use *most* SKLearn transformation steps by wrapping them in the `SKLearnWrapper` class as shown above. In addition, you can use any of the transformations available in the [`DataSieve` library](https://github.com/emergentmethods/datasieve). 
-
-You can easily add your own transformation by creating a class that inherits from the datasieve `BaseTransform` and implementing your `fit()`, `transform()` and `inverse_transform()` methods:
-
-```python
-from datasieve.transforms.base_transform import BaseTransform
-# import whatever else you need
-
-class MyCoolTransform(BaseTransform):
-    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
-        self.param1 = kwargs.get('param1', 1)
-
-    def fit(self, X, y=None, sample_weight=None, feature_list=None, **kwargs):
-        # do something with X, y, sample_weight, or/and feature_list
-        return X, y, sample_weight, feature_list
-
-    def transform(self, X, y=None, sample_weight=None,
-                  feature_list=None, outlier_check=False, **kwargs):
-        # do something with X, y, sample_weight, or/and feature_list
-        return X, y, sample_weight, feature_list
-
-    def inverse_transform(self, X, y=None, sample_weight=None, feature_list=None, **kwargs):
-        # do/dont do something with X, y, sample_weight, or/and feature_list
-        return X, y, sample_weight, feature_list
-```
-
-!!! note "Hint"
-    You can define this custom class in the same file as your `IFreqaiModel`.

-### Migrating a custom `IFreqaiModel` to the new Pipeline
-
-If you have created your own custom `IFreqaiModel` with a custom `train()`/`predict()` function, *and* you still rely on `data_cleaning_train/predict()`, then you will need to migrate to the new pipeline. If your model does *not* rely on `data_cleaning_train/predict()`, then you do not need to worry about this migration.

 Given a number of data points $N$, and a distance $\varepsilon$, DBSCAN clusters the data set by setting all data points that have $N-1$ other data points within a distance of $\varepsilon$ as *core points*. A data point that is within a distance of $\varepsilon$ from a *core point* but that does not have $N-1$ other data points within a distance of $\varepsilon$ from itself is considered an *edge point*. A cluster is then the collection of *core points* and *edge points*. Data points that have no other data points at a distance $<\varepsilon$ are considered outliers.

In fact, the RL training environment is much more simplified. It does not incorporate any of the complicated strategy logic, such as callbacks like `custom_exit`, `custom_stoploss`, leverage controls, etc. The RL environment is instead a very "raw" representation of the true market, where the agent has free will to learn the policy (read: stoploss, take profit, etc.) which is enforced by the `calculate_reward()`.

 ## Creating a custom reward function
 
-!!! danger "Not for production"
+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 users are encouraged to create their own custom reinforcement learning model class (see below) 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:
-    Warning!
-    The reward function provided with the Freqtrade source code is a showcase of functionality designed to show/test as many possible environment control features as possible. It is also designed to run quickly on small computers. This is a benchmark, it is *not* for live production. Please beware that you will need to create your own custom_reward() function or use a template built by other users outside of the Freqtrade source code.

-
-!!! 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.

-## Choosing a base environment
 
-FreqAI provides three base environments, `Base3ActionRLEnvironment`, `Base4ActionEnvironment` and `Base5ActionEnvironment`. As the names imply, the environments are customized for agents that can select from 3, 4 or 5 actions. The `Base3ActionEnvironment` is the simplest, the agent can select from hold, long, or short. This environment can also be used for long-only bots (it automatically follows the `can_short` flag from the strategy), where long is the enter condition and short is the exit condition. Meanwhile, in the `Base4ActionEnvironment`, the agent can enter long, enter short, hold neutral, or exit position. Finally, in the `Base5ActionEnvironment`, the agent has the same actions as Base4, but instead of a single exit action, it separates exit long and exit short. The main changes stemming from the environment selection include:

However, the customizations can be further extended into any of the functions inside the environment.

 ### FreqAI position in open-source machine learning landscape
 
-Forecasting chaotic time-series based systems, such as equity/cryptocurrency markets, requires a broad set of tools geared toward testing a wide range of hypotheses. Fortunately, a recent maturation of robust machine learning libraries (e.g. `scikit-learn`) has opened up a wide range of research possibilities. Scientists from a diverse range of fields can now easily prototype their studies on an abundance of established machine learning algorithms. Similarly, these user-friendly libraries enable "citzen scientists" to use their basic Python skills for data exploration. However, leveraging these machine learning libraries on historical and live chaotic data sources can be logistically difficult and expensive. Additionally, robust data collection, storage, and handling presents a disparate challenge. [`FreqAI`](#freqai) aims to provide a generalized and extensible open-sourced framework geared toward live deployments of adaptive modeling for market forecasting. The `FreqAI` framework is effectively a sandbox for the rich world of open-source machine learning libraries. Inside the `FreqAI` sandbox, users find they can combine a wide variety of third-party libraries to test creative hypotheses on a free live 24/7 chaotic data source - cryptocurrency exchange data.

-        "bearer_token": "my-bearer-token"
-    }

-
-The optional `mode` option specifies if the pairlist should be used as a `blacklist` or as a `whitelist`. The default value is "whitelist".
-
-The optional `processing_mode` option in the RemotePairList configuration determines how the retrieved pairlist is processed. It can have two values: "filter" or "append".
-
-In "filter" mode, the retrieved pairlist is used as a filter. Only the pairs present in both the original pairlist and the retrieved pairlist are included in the final pairlist. Other pairs are filtered out.
-
-In "append" mode, the retrieved pairlist is added to the original pairlist. All pairs from both lists are included in the final pairlist without any filtering.
-
-The `pairlist_url` option specifies the URL of the remote server where the pairlist is located, or the path to a local file (if file:/// is prepended). This allows the user to use either a remote server or a local file as the source for the pairlist.
-
-The user is responsible for providing a server or local file that returns a JSON object with the following structure:
-
-```json
-{
-    "pairs": ["XRP/USDT", "ETH/USDT", "LTC/USDT"],
-    "refresh_period": 1800
-}
-```
-
-The `pairs` property should contain a list of strings with the trading pairs to be used by the bot. The `refresh_period` property is optional and specifies the number of seconds that the pairlist should be cached before being refreshed.
-
-The optional `keep_pairlist_on_failure` specifies whether the previous received pairlist should be used if the remote server is not reachable or returns an error. The default value is true.
-
-The optional `read_timeout` specifies the maximum amount of time (in seconds) to wait for a response from the remote source, The default value is 60.
-
-The optional `bearer_token` will be included in the requests Authorization Header.

-# Lookahead analysis
-
-This page explains how to validate your strategy in terms of look ahead bias.
-
-Checking look ahead bias is the bane of any strategy since it is sometimes very easy to introduce backtest bias -
-but very hard to detect.
-
-Backtesting initializes all timestamps at once and calculates all indicators in the beginning.
-This means that if your indicators or entry/exit signals could look into future candles and falsify your backtest.
-
-Lookahead-analysis 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 backtesting since it internally chains backtests and pokes at the strategy to provoke it to show look ahead bias.
-This is done by not looking at the strategy itself - but at the results it returned.
-The results are things like changed indicator-values and moved entries/exits compared to the full backtest.
-
-You can use commands of [Backtesting](backtesting.md).
-It also supports the lookahead-analysis of freqai strategies.
-
-- `--cache` is forced to "none".
-- `--max-open-trades` is forced to be at least equal to the number of pairs.
-- `--dry-run-wallet` is forced to be basically infinite.

-
-### Summary
-
-Checks a given strategy for look ahead bias via lookahead-analysis
-Look ahead bias means that the backtest uses data from future candles thereby not making it viable beyond backtesting
-and producing false hopes for the one backtesting.
-
-### Introduction
-
-Many strategies - without the programmer knowing - have fallen prey to look ahead bias.
-
-Any backtest will populate the full dataframe including all time stamps at the beginning.
-If the programmer is not careful or oblivious how things work internally
-(which sometimes can be really hard to find out) then it will just look into the future making the strategy amazing
-but not realistic.
-
-This command is made to try to verify the validity in the form of the aforementioned look ahead bias.
-
-### How does the command work?
-
-It will start with a backtest of all pairs to generate a baseline for indicators and entries/exits.
-After the backtest ran, it will look if the `minimum-trade-amount` is met
-and if not cancel the lookahead-analysis for this strategy.
-
-After setting the baseline it will then do additional runs for every entry and exit separately.
-When a verification-backtest is done, it will compare the indicators as the signal (either entry or exit) and report the bias.
-After all signals have been verified or falsified a result-table will be generated for the user to see.
-
-### Caveats
-
-- `lookahead-analysis` can only verify / falsify the trades it calculated and verified.
-If the strategy has many different signals / signal types, it's up to you to select appropriate parameters to ensure that all signals have triggered at least once. Not triggered signals will not have been verified.
-This could lead to a false-negative (the strategy will then be reported as non-biased).
-- `lookahead-analysis` has access to everything that backtesting has too.
-Please don't provoke any configs like enabling position stacking.
-If you decide to do so, then make doubly sure that you won't ever run out of `max_open_trades` amount and neither leftover money in your wallet.

-### FreqAI - New data Pipeline
-
-If you have created your own custom `IFreqaiModel` with a custom `train()`/`predict()` function, *and* you still rely on `data_cleaning_train/predict()`, then you will need to migrate to the new pipeline. If your model does *not* rely on `data_cleaning_train/predict()`, then you do not need to worry about this migration. That means that this migration guide is relevant for a very small percentage of power-users. If you stumbled upon this guide by mistake, feel free to inquire in depth about your problem in the Freqtrade discord server.
-
-The conversion involves first removing `data_cleaning_train/predict()` and replacing them with a `define_data_pipeline()` and `define_label_pipeline()` function to your `IFreqaiModel` class:
-
-```python  linenums="1" hl_lines="11-14 47-49 55-57"

 The relative profit of `1.2%` is the average profit per trade.
 The relative profit of `15.2 Σ%` is be based on the starting capital - so in this case, the starting capital was `0.00485701 * 1.152 = 0.00738 BTC`.
 Starting capital is either taken from the `available_capital` setting, or calculated by using current wallet size - profits.
 Profit Factor is calculated as gross profits / gross losses - and should serve as an overall metric for the strategy.
-Expectancy corresponds to the average return per currency unit at risk, i.e. the winrate and the risk-reward ratio (the average gain of winning trades compared to the average loss of losing trades).
-Expectancy Ratio is expected profit or loss of a subsequent trade based on the performance of all past trades.
 Max drawdown corresponds to the backtesting metric `Absolute Drawdown (Account)` - calculated as `(Absolute Drawdown) / (DrawdownHigh + startingBalance)`.
-Bot started date will refer to the date the bot was first started. For older bots, this will default to the first trade's open date.

-# Trade Object
-
-## Trade
-
-A position freqtrade enters is stored in a `Trade` object - which is persisted to the database.
-It's a core concept of freqtrade - and something you'll come across in many sections of the documentation, which will most likely point you to this location.
-
-It will be passed to the strategy in many [strategy callbacks](strategy-callbacks.md). The object passed to the strategy cannot be modified directly. Indirect modifications may occur based on callback results.
-
-## Trade - Available attributes
-
-The following attributes / properties are available for each individual trade - and can be used with `trade.<property>` (e.g. `trade.pair`).
-
-|  Attribute | DataType | Description |
-|------------|-------------|-------------|
-`pair`| string | Pair of this trade
-`is_open`| boolean | Is the trade currently open, or has it been concluded
-`open_rate`| float | Rate this trade was entered at (Avg. entry rate in case of trade-adjustments)
-`close_rate`| float | Close rate - only set when is_open = False
-`stake_amount`| float | Amount in Stake (or Quote) currency.
-`amount`| float | Amount in Asset / Base currency that is currently owned.
-`open_date`| datetime | Timestamp when trade was opened **use `open_date_utc` instead**
-`open_date_utc`| datetime | Timestamp when trade was opened - in UTC
-`close_date`| datetime | Timestamp when trade was closed **use `close_date_utc` instead**
-`close_date_utc`| datetime | Timestamp when trade was closed - in UTC
-`close_profit`| float | Relative profit at the time of trade closure. `0.01` == 1%
-`close_profit_abs`| float | Absolute profit (in stake currency) at the time of trade closure.
-`leverage` | float | Leverage used for this trade - defaults to 1.0 in spot markets.
-`enter_tag`| string | Tag provided on entry via the `enter_tag` column in the dataframe
-`is_short` | boolean | True for short trades, False otherwise
-`orders` | Order[] | List of order objects attached to this trade (includes both filled and cancelled orders)
-`date_last_filled_utc` | datetime | Time of the last filled order
-`entry_side` | "buy" / "sell" | Order Side the trade was entered
-`exit_side` | "buy" / "sell" | Order Side that will result in a trade exit / position reduction.
-`trade_direction` | "long" / "short" | Trade direction in text - long or short.
-`nr_of_successful_entries` | int | Number of successful (filled) entry orders
-`nr_of_successful_exits` | int | Number of successful (filled) exit orders
-
-## Class methods
-
-The following are class methods - which return generic information, and usually result in an explicit query against the database.
-They can be used as `Trade.<method>` - e.g. `open_trades = Trade.get_open_trade_count()`
-
-!!! Warning "Backtesting/hyperopt"
-    Most methods will work in both backtesting / hyperopt and live/dry modes.
-    During backtesting, it's limited to usage in [strategy callbacks](strategy-callbacks.md). Usage in `populate_*()` methods is not supported and will result in wrong results.
-
-### get_trades_proxy
-
-When your strategy needs some information on existing (open or close) trades - it's best to use `Trade.get_trades_proxy()`.
-
-Usage:
-
-``` python
-from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
-from datetime import timedelta
-
-# ...
-trade_hist = Trade.get_trades_proxy(pair='ETH/USDT', is_open=False, open_date=current_date - timedelta(days=2))
-
-```
-
-`get_trades_proxy()` supports the following keyword arguments. All arguments are optional - calling `get_trades_proxy()` without arguments will return a list of all trades in the database.
-
-* `pair` e.g. `pair='ETH/USDT'`
-* `is_open` e.g. `is_open=False`
-* `open_date` e.g. `open_date=current_date - timedelta(days=2)`
-* `close_date` e.g. `close_date=current_date - timedelta(days=5)`
-
-### get_open_trade_count
-
-Get the number of currently open trades
-
-``` python
-from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
-# ...
-open_trades = Trade.get_open_trade_count()
-```
-
-### get_total_closed_profit
-
-Retrieve the total profit the bot has generated so far.
-Aggregates `close_profit_abs` for all closed trades.
-
-``` python
-from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
-
-# ...
-profit = Trade.get_total_closed_profit()
-```
-
-### total_open_trades_stakes
-
-Retrieve the total stake_amount that's currently in trades.
-
-``` python
-from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
-
-# ...
-profit = Trade.total_open_trades_stakes()
-```
-
-### get_overall_performance
-
-Retrieve the overall performance - similar to the `/performance` telegram command.
-
-``` python
-from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
-
-# ...
-if self.config['runmode'].value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
-    performance = Trade.get_overall_performance()
-```
-
-Sample return value: ETH/BTC had 5 trades, with a total profit of 1.5% (ratio of 0.015).
-
-``` json
-{"pair": "ETH/BTC", "profit": 0.015, "count": 5}
-```
-
-## Order Object
-
-An `Order` object represents an order on the exchange (or a simulated order in dry-run mode).
-An `Order` object will always be tied to it's corresponding [`Trade`](#trade-object), and only really makes sense in the context of a trade.
-
-### Order - Available attributes
-
-an Order object is typically attached to a trade.
-Most properties here can be None as they are dependant on the exchange response.
