+
+Each handler must use one of the defined formatters (by name), its class must be available, and must be a valid logging class.
+To actually use a handler, it must be in the "handlers" section inside the "root" segment.
+If this section is left out, freqtrade will provide no output (in the non-configured handler, anyway).
+
+!!! Tip "Explicit log configuration"
+    We recommend to extract the logging configuration from your main freqtrade configuration file, and provide it to your bot via [multiple configuration files](configuration.md#multiple-configuration-files) functionality. This will avoid unnecessary code duplication.

 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.

-* `--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).

 !!! Tip
     You can use this function as the last part of strategy development, to ensure your strategy is not exploiting one of the [backtesting assumptions](#assumptions-made-by-backtesting). Strategies that perform similarly well with this mode have a good chance to perform well in dry/live modes too (although only forward-testing (dry-mode) can really confirm a strategy).
 
+??? Sample "Extreme Difference Example"
+    Using `--timeframe-detail` on an extreme example (all below pairs have the 10:00 candle with an entry signal) may lead to the following backtesting Trade sequence with 1 max_open_trades:
+
+    | Pair | Entry Time | Exit Time | Duration |
+    |------|------------|-----------| -------- |
+    | BTC/USDT | 2024-01-01 10:00:00 | 2021-01-01 10:05:00 | 5m |
+    | ETH/USDT | 2024-01-01 10:05:00 | 2021-01-01 10:15:00 | 10m |
+    | XRP/USDT | 2024-01-01 10:15:00 | 2021-01-01 10:30:00 | 15m |
+    | SOL/USDT | 2024-01-01 10:15:00 | 2021-01-01 11:05:00 | 50m |
+    | BTC/USDT | 2024-01-01 11:05:00 | 2021-01-01 12:00:00 | 55m |
+
+    Without timeframe-detail, this would look like:
+
+    | Pair | Entry Time | Exit Time | Duration |
+    |------|------------|-----------| -------- |
+    | BTC/USDT | 2024-01-01 10:00:00 | 2021-01-01 11:00:00 | 1h |
+    | BTC/USDT | 2024-01-01 11:00:00 | 2021-01-01 12:00:00 | 1h |
+
+    The difference is significant, as without detail data, only the first `max_open_trades` signals per candle are evaluated, and the trade slots are only freed at the end of the candle, allowing for a new trade to be opened at the next candle.

-With a reserve of 5%, the minimum stake amount would be ~12.6$ (`12 * (1 + 0.05)`). If we take into account a stoploss of 10% on top of that - we'd end up with a value of ~14$ (`12.6 / (1 - 0.1)`).

 To limit this calculation in case of large stoploss values, the calculated minimum stake-limit will never be more than 50% above the real limit.
 
 !!! Warning
     Since the limits on exchanges are usually stable and are not updated often, some pairs can show pretty high minimum limits, simply because the price increased a lot since the last limit adjustment by the exchange. Freqtrade adjusts the stake-amount to this value, unless it's > 30% more than the calculated/desired stake-amount - in which case the trade is rejected.
 
+#### Dry-run wallet
+
+When running in dry-run mode, the bot will use a simulated wallet to execute trades. The starting balance of this wallet is defined by `dry_run_wallet` (defaults to 1000).
+For more complex scenarios, you can also assign a dictionary to `dry_run_wallet` to define the starting balance for each currency.
+
+```json
+"dry_run_wallet": {
+    "BTC": 0.01,
+    "ETH": 2,
+    "USDT": 1000
+}
+```
+
+Command line options (`--dry-run-wallet`) can be used to override the configuration value, but only for the float value, not for the dictionary. If you'd like to use the dictionary, please adjust the configuration file.
+
+!!! Note
+    Balances not in stake-currency will not be used for trading, but are shown as part of the wallet balance.
+    On Cross-margin exchanges, the wallet balance may be used to calculate the available collateral for trading.
+
 #### Tradable balance

-    If you are updating existing data after inserting new pairs that you have no data for, use `--new-pairs-days xx` parameter. Specified number of days will be downloaded for new pairs while old pairs will be updated with missing data only.
+    If you are updating existing data after inserting new pairs that you have no data for, use the `--new-pairs-days xx` parameter. Specified number of days will be downloaded for new pairs while old pairs will be updated with missing data only.  
-    If you use `--days xx` parameter alone - data for specified number of days will be downloaded for _all_ pairs. Be careful, if specified number of days is smaller than gap between now and last downloaded candle - freqtrade will delete all existing data to avoid gaps in candle data.

 !!! Tip "Downloading all data for one quote currency"
     Often, you'll want to download data for all pairs of a specific quote-currency. In such cases, you can use the following shorthand:
-    `freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs .*/USDT <...>`. The provided "pairs" string will be expanded to contain all active pairs on the exchange.
+    `freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs ".*/USDT" <...>`. The provided "pairs" string will be expanded to contain all active pairs on the exchange.
     To also download data for inactive (delisted) pairs, add `--include-inactive-pairs` to the command.

 ### Other Notes
 
 * To use a different directory than the exchange specific default, use `--datadir user_data/data/some_directory`.
-* To change the exchange used to download the historical data from, please use a different configuration file (you'll probably need to adjust rate limits etc.)
+* To change the exchange used to download the historical data from, either use `--exchange <exchange>` - or specify a different configuration file.
 * To use `pairs.json` from some other directory, use `--pairs-file some_other_dir/pairs.json`.
 * To download historical candle (OHLCV) data for only 10 days, use `--days 10` (defaults to 30 days).
 * To download historical candle (OHLCV) data from a fixed starting point, use `--timerange 20200101-` - which will download all data from January 1st, 2020.
+* Given starting points are ignored if data is already available, downloading only missing data up to today.
 * Use `--timeframes` to specify what timeframe download the historical candle (OHLCV) data for. Default is `--timeframes 1m 5m` which will download 1-minute and 5-minute data.
 * To use exchange, timeframe and list of pairs as defined in your configuration file, use the `-c/--config` option. With this, the script uses the whitelist defined in the config as the list of currency pairs to download data for and does not require the pairs.json file. You can combine `-c/--config` with most other options.

+!!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
+    Hyperliquid supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses `stop-loss-limit` orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it.
+
+Hyperliquid is a Decentralized Exchange (DEX). Decentralized exchanges work a bit different compared to normal exchanges. Instead of authenticating private API calls using an API key, private API calls need to be signed with the private key of your wallet (We recommend using an api Wallet for this, generated either on Hyperliquid or in your wallet of choice).
+This needs to be configured like this:
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+    "name": "hyperliquid",
+    "walletAddress": "your_eth_wallet_address",
+    "privateKey": "your_api_private_key",
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+* walletAddress in hex format: `0x<40 hex characters>` - Can be easily copied from your wallet - and should be your wallet address, not your API Wallet Address.
+* privateKey in hex format: `0x<64 hex characters>` - Use the key the API Wallet shows on creation.
+
+Hyperliquid handles deposits and withdrawals on the Arbitrum One chain, a Layer 2 scaling solution built on top of Ethereum. Hyperliquid uses USDC as quote / collateral. The process of depositing USDC on Hyperliquid requires a couple of steps, see [how to start trading](https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/onboarding/how-to-start-trading) for details on what steps are needed.
+
+!!! Note "Hyperliquid general usage Notes"
+    Hyperliquid does not support market orders, however ccxt will simulate market orders by placing limit orders with a maximum slippage of 5%.  
+    Unfortunately, hyperliquid only offers 5000 historic candles, so backtesting will either need to build candles historically (by waiting and downloading the data incrementally over time) - or will be limited to the last 5000 candles.
+
+!!! Info "Some general best practices (non exhaustive)"
+    * Beware of supply chain attacks, like pip package poisoning etcetera. Whenever you use your private key, make sure your environment is safe.
+    * Don't use your actual wallet private key for trading. Use the Hyperliquid [API generator](https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/API) to create a separate API wallet.
+    * Don't store your actual wallet private key on the server you use for freqtrade. Use the API wallet private key instead. This key won't allow withdrawals, only trading.
+    * Always keep your mnemonic phrase and private key private.
+    * Don't use the same mnemonic as the one you had to backup when initializing a hardware wallet, using the same mnemonic basically deletes the security of your hardware wallet.
+    * Create a different software wallet, only transfer the funds you want to trade with to that wallet, and use that wallet to trade on Hyperliquid.
+    * If you have funds you don't want to use for trading (after making a profit for example), transfer them back to your hardware wallet.
+
+### Historic Hyperliquid data
+
+The Hyperliquid API does not provide historic data beyond the single call to fetch current data, so downloading data is not possible, as the downloaded data would not constitute proper historic data.

 ### 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.

+    Coingecko often has duplicate symbols, where the same symbol is used for different coins. Freqtrade will use the symbol as is and try to search for it on the exchange.

+## Exit logic comparisons
+
+Freqtrade allows your strategy to implement different exit logic using signal-based or callback-based functions.
+This section aims to compare each different function, helping you to choose the one that best fits your needs.
+
+* **`populate_exit_trend()`** - Vectorized signal-based exit logic using indicators in the main dataframe
+  ✅ **Use** to define exit signals based on indicators or other data that can be calculated in a vectorized manner.
+  🚫 **Don't use** to customize exit conditions for each individual trade, or if trade data is necessary to make an exit decision.
+* **`custom_exit()`** - Custom exit logic that will fully exit a trade immediately, called for every open trade at every bot loop iteration until a trade is closed.
+  ✅ **Use** to specify exit conditions for each individual trade (including any additional adjusted orders using `adjust_trade_position()`), or if trade data is necessary to make an exit decision, e.g. using profit data to exit.
+  🚫 **Don't use** when you want to exit using vectorised indicator-based data (use a `populate_exit_trend()` signal instead), or as a proxy for `custom_stoploss()`, and be aware that rate-based exits in backtesting can be inaccurate.
+* **`custom_stoploss()`** - Custom trailing stoploss, called for every open trade every iteration until a trade is closed. The value returned here is also used for [stoploss on exchange](stoploss.md#stop-loss-on-exchangefreqtrade).  
+  ✅ **Use** to customize the stoploss logic to set a dynamic stoploss based on trade data or other conditions.
+  🚫 **Don't use** to exit a trade immediately based on a specific condition. Use `custom_exit()` for that purpose.
+* **`custom_roi()`** - Custom ROI, called for every open trade every iteration until a trade is closed.
+  ✅ **Use** to specify a minimum ROI threshold ("take-profit") to exit a trade at this ROI level at some point within the trade duration, based on profit or other conditions.
+  🚫 **Don't use** to exit a trade immediately based on a specific condition. Use `custom_exit()`.
+  🚫 **Don't use** for static ROI. Use `minimal_roi`.

-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.
+Many strategies, without the programmer knowing, have fallen prey to lookahead bias.
+This typically makes the strategy backtest look profitable, sometimes to extremes,  but this is not realistic as the strategy is "cheating" by looking at data it would not have in dry or live modes.
 
-Any backtest will populate the full dataframe including all time stamps at the beginning.
+The reason why strategies can "cheat" is because the freqtrade backtesting process populates the full dataframe including all candle timestamps at the outset.
 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
+(which sometimes can be really hard to find out) then the strategy will look into the future.
-but not realistic.
 
 This command is made to try to verify the validity in the form of the aforementioned lookahead 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
+After this initial backtest runs, it will look if the `minimum-trade-amount` is met and if not cancel the lookahead-analysis for this strategy.  
-and if not cancel the lookahead-analysis for this strategy.
+If this happens, use a wider timerange to get more trades for the analysis, or use a timerange where more trades occur.
 
-After setting the baseline it will then do additional runs for every entry and exit separately.
+After setting the baseline it will then do additional backtest 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.
+When these verification backtests complete, it will compare the indicators at the signal candles (both entry or exit)
-After all signals have been verified or falsified a result-table will be generated for the user to see.
+and report the bias.  
+After all signals have been verified or falsified a result table will be generated for the user to see.
+
+### How to find and remove bias? How can I salvage a biased strategy?
+
+If you found a biased strategy online and want to have the same results, just without bias,
+then you will be out of luck most of the time.
+Usually the bias in the strategy is THE driving factor for "too good to be true" profits.
+Removing conditions or indicators that push the profits up from bias will usually make the strategy significantly worse.
+You might be able to salvage it partially if the biased indicators or conditions are not the core of the strategy, or there
+are other entry and exit signals that are not biased.
+
+### Examples of lookahead-bias
+
+- `shift(-10)` looks 10 candles into the future.
+- Using `iloc[]` in populate_* functions to access a specific row in the dataframe.
+- For-loops are prone to introduce lookahead bias if you don't tightly control which numbers are looped through.
+- Aggregation functions like `.mean()`, `.min()` and `.max()`, without a rolling window,
+  will calculate the value over the **whole** dataframe, so the signal candle will "see" a value including future candles.
+  A non-biased example would be to look back candles using `rolling()` instead:
+  e.g. `dataframe['volume_mean_12'] = dataframe['volume'].rolling(12).mean()`
+- `ta.MACD(dataframe, 12, 26, 1)` will introduce bias with a signalperiod of 1.
+
+### What do the columns in the results table mean?
+
+- `filename`: name of the checked strategy file
+- `strategy`: checked strategy class name
+- `has_bias`: result of the lookahead-analysis. `No` would be good, `Yes` would be bad.
+- `total_signals`: number of checked signals (default is 20)
+- `biased_entry_signals`: found bias in that many entries
+- `biased_exit_signals`: found bias in that many exits
+- `biased_indicators`: shows you the indicators themselves that are defined in populate_indicators
+
+You might get false positives in the `biased_exit_signals` if you have biased entry signals paired with those exits.
+However, a biased entry will usually result in a biased exit too,
+even if the exit itself does not produce the bias -
+especially if your entry and exit conditions use the same biased indicator.
+
+**Address the bias in the entries first, then address the exits.**
 
 ### 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.

+Once your bot is running in dry or live mode, Freqtrade has six mechanisms to control or monitor a running bot:
 
 - **[FreqUI](freq-ui.md)**: The easiest to get started with, FreqUI is a web interface to see and control current activity of your bot.
 - **[Telegram](telegram-usage.md)**: On mobile devices, Telegram integration is available to get alerts about your bot activity and to control certain aspects.
 - **[FTUI](https://github.com/freqtrade/ftui)**: FTUI is a terminal (command line) interface to Freqtrade, and allows monitoring of a running bot only.
-- **[REST API](rest-api.md)**: The REST API allows programmers to develop their own tools to interact with a Freqtrade bot.
+- **[freqtrade-client](rest-api.md#consuming-the-api)**: A python implementation of the REST API, making it easy to make requests and consume bot responses from your python apps or the command line.
+- **[REST API endpoints](rest-api.md#available-endpoints)**: The REST API allows programmers to develop their own tools to interact with a Freqtrade bot.
 - **[Webhooks](webhook-config.md)**: Freqtrade can send information to other services, e.g. discord, by webhooks.
 
 ### Logs
 
 Freqtrade generates extensive debugging logs to help you understand what's happening. Please familiarise yourself with the information and error messages you might see in your bot logs.
 
+Logging by default occurs on standard out (the command line). If you want to write out to a file instead, many freqtrade commands, including the `trade` command, accept the `--logfile` option to write to a file.

+## Custom ROI
+
+Called for open trade every iteration (roughly every 5 seconds) until a trade is closed.
+
+The usage of the custom ROI method must be enabled by setting `use_custom_roi=True` on the strategy object.
+
+This method allows you to define a custom minimum ROI threshold for exiting a trade, expressed as a ratio (e.g., `0.05` for 5% profit). If both `minimal_roi` and `custom_roi` are defined, the lower of the two thresholds will trigger an exit. For example, if `minimal_roi` is set to `{"0": 0.10}` (10% at 0 minutes) and `custom_roi` returns `0.05`, the trade will exit when the profit reaches 5%. Also, if `custom_roi` returns `0.10` and `minimal_roi` is set to `{"0": 0.05}` (5% at 0 minutes), the trade will be closed when the profit reaches 5%.
+
+The method must return a float representing the new ROI threshold as a ratio, or `None` to fall back to the `minimal_roi` logic. Returning `NaN` or `inf` values is considered invalid and will be treated as `None`, causing the bot to use the `minimal_roi` configuration.
+
+### Custom ROI examples
+
+The following examples illustrate how to use the `custom_roi` function to implement different ROI logics.
+
+#### Custom ROI per side
+
+Use different ROI thresholds depending on the `side`. In this example, 5% for long entries and 2% for short entries.

+        If used at the same time as minimal_roi, an exit will be triggered when the lower
+        threshold is reached. Example: If minimal_roi = {"0": 0.01} and custom_roi returns 0.05,

+
 ### Decrease position
 
 The strategy is expected to return a negative stake_amount (in stake currency) for a partial exit.
 Returning the full owned stake at that point (`-trade.stake_amount`) results in a full exit.  
 Returning a value more than the above (so remaining stake_amount would become negative) will result in the bot ignoring the signal.
 
-!!! Note "About stake size"
+For a partial exit, it's important to know that the formula used to calculate the amount of the coin for the partial exit order is `amount to be exited partially = negative_stake_amount * trade.amount / trade.stake_amount`, where `negative_stake_amount` is the value returned from the `adjust_trade_position` function. As seen in the formula, the formula doesn't care about current profit/loss of the position. It only cares about `trade.amount` and `trade.stake_amount` which aren't affected by the price movement at all.
-    Using fixed stake size means it will be the amount used for the first order, just like without position adjustment.
+
-    If you wish to buy additional orders with DCA, then make sure to leave enough funds in the wallet for that.
+For example, let's say you buy 2 SHITCOIN/USDT at open rate of 50, which means the trade's stake amount is 100 USDT. Now the price raises to 200 and you want to sell half of it. In that case, you have to return -50% of `trade.stake_amount` (0.5 * 100 USDT) which equals to -50. The bot will calculate the amount it needed to sell, which is `50 * 2 / 100` which equals 1 SHITCOIN/USDT. If you return -200 (50% of 2 * 200), the bot will ignore it since `trade.stake_amount` is only 100 USDT but you asked to sell 200 USDT which means you are asking to sell 4 SHITCOIN/USDT.
-    Using `"unlimited"` stake amount with DCA orders requires you to also implement the `custom_stake_amount()` callback to avoid allocating all funds to the initial order.
+
+Back to the example above, since current rate is 200, the current USDT value of your trade is now 400 USDT. Let's say you want to partially sell 100 USDT to take out the initial investment and leave the profit in the trade hoping that the price keeps rising. In that case, you have to do a different approach. First, you need to calculate the exact amount you needed to sell. In this case, since you want to sell 100 USDT worth based of current rate, the exact amount you need to partially sell is `100 * 2 / 400` which equals 0.5 SHITCOIN/USDT. Since we know now the exact amount we want to sell (0.5), the value you need to return in the `adjust_trade_position` function is `-amount to be exited partially * trade.stake_amount / trade.amount`, which equals -25. The bot will sell 0.5 SHITCOIN/USDT, keeping 1.5 in trade. You will receive 100 USDT from the partial exit.

 - don't use `.iloc[-1]` or any other absolute position in the dataframe within `populate_` functions, as this will be different between dry-run and backtesting. Absolute `iloc` indexing is safe to use in callbacks however - see [Strategy Callbacks](strategy-callbacks.md).
 - don't use functions that use all dataframe or column values, e.g. `dataframe['mean_volume'] = dataframe['volume'].mean()`. As backtesting uses the full dataframe, at any point in the dataframe, the `'mean_volume'` series would include data from the future. Use rolling() calculations instead, e.g. `dataframe['volume'].rolling(<window>).mean()`.
 - don't use `.resample('1h')`. This uses the left border of the period interval, so moves data from an hour boundary to the start of the hour. Use `.resample('1h', label='right')` instead.
+- don't use `.merge()` to combine longer timeframes onto shorter ones. Instead, use the [informative pair](#informative-pairs) helpers. (A plain merge can implicitly cause a lookahead bias as date refers to open date, not close date).
 
 !!! Tip "Identifying problems"
     You should always use the two helper commands [lookahead-analysis](lookahead-analysis.md) and [recursive-analysis](recursive-analysis.md), which can each help you figure out problems with your strategy in different ways.
