this avoids false positives - but could cause false-negatives
if the problem is in a pricing callback.
`--allow-limit-orders` can re-allow limit orders to test for this scenario.
part of #12168
Precision for ta-lib 0.6.x was increased
but is lower by 0001 than what was in the freqtrade ta-lib fix
https://github.com/TA-Lib/ta-lib/blob/main/src/ta_func/ta_utility.h#L257
This won't be a problem for any normal usdt pair.
shitcoins on some exchanges (e.g gate) with 12 zeros before the first significant digit wouldn't have worked today, either.
Modify the original three duplicate functions (_profit_short, _profit_long, _profit), and add _profit_handler and _format_profit_message.
Refactor telegram.py and rpc.py.
Sorry for the duplicate functions yesterday, I was a bit rushed.
Both pytest and ruff have passed.
# Added `/profit_long` and `/profit_short` Commands
Users can now use commands like:
- `/profit_long [<n>]`
- `/profit_short [<n>]`
- `/profit [<n>]`
---
## Key Changes Implemented
### `freqtrade/rpc/telegram.py`:
- The `_profit` command handler has been updated to robustly parse `long` or `short` as optional arguments.
- **Translation:** The `_profit` command handler has been improved to reliably interpret `long` or `short` as optional parameters.
- The determined direction is passed to the RPC layer.
- **Translation:** The direction determined (either `long` or `short`) is passed to the RPC layer.
- The `/help` command documentation is updated.
- **Translation:** The documentation for the `/help` command has been updated accordingly.
---
### `freqtrade/rpc/rpc.py`:
- The `_rpc_trade_statistics` method now accepts a direction parameter.
- **Translation:** The `_rpc_trade_statistics` method has been updated to accept a `direction` parameter.
- The method has been refactored into a main function and a `_process_trade_stats` helper function to reduce complexity and improve readability.
- **Translation:** The method has been refactored into a main function and a helper function, `_process_trade_stats`, to reduce complexity and improve readability.
- The database query filter is dynamically modified to include a condition on `Trade.is_short` when a direction is provided.
- **Translation:** The database query filter dynamically adjusts to include a condition on `Trade.is_short` when a direction is specified.
---
### `tests/rpc/test_rpc_telegram.py`:
- Existing tests for `_profit` have been updated to match the new message format.
- **Translation:** Existing tests for the `_profit` function have been updated to match the new message format.
- New test cases have been added to specifically validate the `long` and `short` filtering functionality.
- **Translation:** New test cases have been added to specifically validate the filtering functionality for `long` and `short` trades.

## Testing
- All local `pytest` tests pass successfully.
- **Translation:** All local `pytest` tests have passed successfully.
- All `ruff` linter checks pass.
- **Translation:** All `ruff` code checks have passed.
- As I do not have a full local deployment, I am relying on the CI pipeline for final validation.
- **Translation:** Since I don't have a complete local deployment, I am relying on the CI pipeline for final validation.
---
This time, only a little AI was used :)
Except for the translation.
This commit enhances the /profit Telegram command to allow filtering by trade direction.
- The `_profit` handler in `telegram.py` now parses 'long'/'short' arguments and passes the direction to the RPC layer.
- The `_rpc_trade_statistics` method in `rpc.py` is updated to filter trades based on the provided direction. It has also been refactored for lower complexity.
- The `/help` command documentation is updated to reflect the new functionality.
- Corresponding unit tests in `test_rpc_telegram.py` are updated and extended to cover the new cases.
We'll for now issue a warning about this - and use the "current" tier
This way, gaps in tier data (between maxNotional and the next
minNotional) no longer cause an operational exception.
closes#11923
The bug happened since it just checked the length of the list itself, not what it represents. in this case .*/USDT could be any amount of pairs
when the user sets a max_open_trades of let's say 3 then the pairs only have 3 trade slots of whatever amount of pairs it really has and thereby creating a bottleneck.
This just sets the max_open_trades to -1 without even checking it, letting freqtrade itself handle the amount of trades allowed at a given time.
AI generated strategies and configs cause a lot of noise.
we should be clear that people shall read the documentation first
(this will also allow us to point people at this within the issue).

It can be Easily solved by installing libffi-dev before hand
There are tests failing when using delayed and wrap_non_picklable_objects as decorator.
until I'll find a solution to run generate_optimizer standalone for analyze_per_epoch=True
with warnings.catch_warnings():
from optuna.exceptions import ExperimentalWarning
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=FutureWarning)
this should be when importing sampler
The issue as that `logging.config.dictConfig(log_config)` ends up using the dictionary in place and including non-picklable items (saw an RLock), blowing up backtesting.
This version supports numpy2 - while still remaining on ta-lib C of 0.4
This will avoid huge update problems, as the underlying library doesn't need to be updated

Few pointers for contributions:
- Create your PR against the `develop` branch, not `stable`.
-New features need to contain unit tests, must conform to PEP8 (max-line-length = 100) and should be documented with the introduction PR.
-PR's can be declared as `[WIP]` - which signify Work in Progress Pull Requests (which are not finished).
-Stick to english in both commit messages, PR descriptions and code comments and variable names.
-New features need to contain unit tests, must pass CI (run pre-commit and pytest to get an early feedback) and should be documented with the introduction PR.
- PR's can be declared as draft - signaling Work in Progress for Pull Requests (which are not finished). We'll still aim to provide feedback on draft PR's in a timely manner.
- If you're using AI for your PR, please both mention it in the PR description and do a thorough review of the generated code. The final responsibility for the code with the PR author, not with the AI.
If you are unsure, discuss the feature on our [discord server](https://discord.gg/p7nuUNVfP7) or in a [issue](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/issues) before a Pull Request.
### 2. Test if your code corresponds to our style guide
#### Run Ruff
We receive a lot of code that fails preliminary CI checks.
To help with that, we encourage contributors to install the git pre-commit hook that will let you know immediately when you try to commit code that fails these checks.
You can manually run pre-commit with `pre-commit run -a` - or install the git hook with `pre-commit install` to have it run automatically on each commit.
Running `pre-commit run -a` will run all checks, including `ruff`, `mypy` and `codespell` (among others).
#### Additional styles applied
- Have docstrings on all public methods
- Use double-quotes for docstrings
- Multiline docstrings should be indented to the level of the first quote
- Doc-strings should follow the reST format (`:param xxx: ...`, `:return: ...`, `:raises KeyError: ...`)
#### Manually run the individual checks
The following sections describe how to run the individual checks that are running as part of the pre-commit hook.
##### Run ruff
Check your code with ruff to ensure that it follows the style guide.
```bash
ruff check .
ruff format .
```
We receive a lot of code that fails the `ruff` checks.

### Using export-filename
### Using backtest-filename
Normally, `backtesting-analysis` uses the latest backtest results, but if you wanted to go
back to a previous backtest output, you need to supply the `--export-filename` option.
You can supply the same parameter to `backtest-analysis` with the name of the final backtest
output file. This allows you to keep historical versions of backtest results and re-analyse
them at a later date:
By default, `backtesting-analysis` processes the most recent backtest results in the `user_data/backtest_results` directory.
If you want to analyze results from an earlier backtest, use the `--backtest-filename` option to specify the desired file. This lets you revisit and re-analyze historical backtest outputs at any time by providing the filename of the relevant backtest result:
Possible values are either one of "GP", "RF", "ET", "GBRT" (Details can be found in the [scikit-optimize documentation](https://scikit-optimize.github.io/)), or "an instance of a class that inherits from `RegressorMixin` (from sklearn) and where the `predict` method has an optional `return_std` argument, which returns `std(Y | x)` along with `E[Y | x]`".
Possible values are either one of "NSGAIISampler", "TPESampler", "GPSampler", "CmaEsSampler", "NSGAIIISampler", "QMCSampler" (Details can be found in the [optuna-samplers documentation](https://optuna.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/samplers/index.html)), or "an instance of a class that inherits from `optuna.samplers.BaseSampler`".
Some research will be necessary to find additional Regressors.
Example for `ExtraTreesRegressor` ("ET") with additional parameters:
# Corresponds to "ET" - but allows additional parameters.
return ExtraTreesRegressor(n_estimators=100)

The `dimensions` parameter is the list of `skopt.space.Dimension` objects corresponding to the parameters to be optimized. It can be used to create isotropic kernels for the `skopt.learning.GaussianProcessRegressor` estimator. Here's an example:

## Advanced Logging
Freqtrade uses the default logging module provided by python.
Python allows for extensive [logging configuration](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.config.html#logging.config.dictConfig) in this regard - way more than what can be covered here.
Default logging format (coloured terminal output) is set up by default if no `log_config` is provided in your freqtrade configuration.
Using `--logfile logfile.log` will enable the RotatingFileHandler.
If you're not content with the log format, or with the default settings provided for the RotatingFileHandler, you can customize logging to your liking by adding the `log_config` configuration to your freqtrade configuration file(s).
The default configuration looks roughly like the below, with the file handler being provided but not enabled as the `filename` is commented out.
Uncomment this line and supply a valid path/filename to enable it.
Highlighted lines in the above code-block define the Rich handler and belong together.
The formatter "standard" and "file" will belong to the FileHandler.
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.
### Logging to syslog
To send Freqtrade log messages to a local or remote `syslog` service use the `--logfile` command line option with the value in the following format:
To send Freqtrade log messages to a local or remote `syslog` service use the `"log_config"` setup option to configure logging.

// Use one of the other options above as address instead?
"address": "/dev/log"
}

"root": {
"handlers": [
// other handlers
"syslog",

}
The syslog address can be either a Unix domain socket (socket filename) or a UDP socket specification, consisting of IP address and UDP port, separated by the `:` character.

So, the following are the examples of possible usages:
[Additional log-handlers](#advanced-logging) may need to be configured to for example also have log output in the console.
* `--logfile syslog:/dev/log` -- log to syslog (rsyslog) using the `/dev/log` socket, suitable for most systems.
* `--logfile syslog` -- same as above, the shortcut for `/dev/log`.
* `--logfile syslog:/var/run/syslog` -- log to syslog (rsyslog) using the `/var/run/syslog` socket. Use this on MacOS.
* `--logfile syslog:localhost:514` -- log to local syslog using UDP socket, if it listens on port 514.
* `--logfile syslog:<ip>:514` -- log to remote syslog at IP address and port 514. This may be used on Windows for remote logging to an external syslog server.
#### Syslog usage
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
* `tail -f /var/log/user`, or
* install a comprehensive graphical viewer (for instance, 'Log File Viewer' for Ubuntu).

It will currently not receive new features until either someone stepped forward to take up ownership of that module - or we'll decide to remove edge from freqtrade.
!!! Warning
When using `Edge positioning` with a dynamic whitelist (VolumePairList), make sure to also use `AgeFilter` and set it to at least `calculate_since_number_of_days` to avoid problems with missing data.
!!! Note
`Edge Positioning` only considers *its own* buy/sell/stoploss signals. It ignores the stoploss, trailing stoploss, and ROI settings in the strategy configuration file.
`Edge Positioning` improves the performance of some trading strategies and *decreases* the performance of others.
## Introduction
Trading strategies are not perfect. They are frameworks that are susceptible to the market and its indicators. Because the market is not at all predictable, sometimes a strategy will win and sometimes the same strategy will lose.
To obtain an edge in the market, a strategy has to make more money than it loses. Making money in trading is not only about *how often* the strategy makes or loses money.
!!! tip "It doesn't matter how often, but how much!"
A bad strategy might make 1 penny in *ten* transactions but lose 1 dollar in *one* transaction. If one only checks the number of winning trades, it would be misleading to think that the strategy is actually making a profit.
The Edge Positioning module seeks to improve a strategy's winning probability and the money that the strategy will make *on the long run*.
We raise the following question[^1]:
!!! Question "Which trade is a better option?"
a) A trade with 80% of chance of losing 100\$ and 20% chance of winning 200\$<br/>
b) A trade with 100% of chance of losing 30\$
???+ Info "Answer"
The expected value of *a)* is smaller than the expected value of *b)*.<br/>
Hence, *b*) represents a smaller loss in the long run.<br/>
However, the answer is: *it depends*
Another way to look at it is to ask a similar question:
!!! Question "Which trade is a better option?"
a) A trade with 80% of chance of winning 100\$ and 20% chance of losing 200\$<br/>
b) A trade with 100% of chance of winning 30\$
Edge positioning tries to answer the hard questions about risk/reward and position size automatically, seeking to minimizes the chances of losing of a given strategy.
### Trading, winning and losing
Let's call $o$ the return of a single transaction $o$ where $o \in \mathbb{R}$. The collection $O = \{o_1, o_2, ..., o_N\}$ is the set of all returns of transactions made during a trading session. We say that $N$ is the cardinality of $O$, or, in lay terms, it is the number of transactions made in a trading session.
!!! Example
In a session where a strategy made three transactions we can say that $O = \{3.5, -1, 15\}$. That means that $N = 3$ and $o_1 = 3.5$, $o_2 = -1$, $o_3 = 15$.
A winning trade is a trade where a strategy *made* money. Making money means that the strategy closed the position in a value that returned a profit, after all deducted fees. Formally, a winning trade will have a return $o_i > 0$. Similarly, a losing trade will have a return $o_j \leq 0$. With that, we can discover the set of all winning trades, $T_{win}$, as follows:
$$ T_{win} = \{ o \in O | o > 0 \} $$
Similarly, we can discover the set of losing trades $T_{lose}$ as follows:
$$ T_{lose} = \{o \in O | o \leq 0\} $$
!!! Example
In a section where a strategy made four transactions $O = \{3.5, -1, 15, 0\}$:<br>
$T_{win} = \{3.5, 15\}$<br>
$T_{lose} = \{-1, 0\}$<br>
### Win Rate and Lose Rate
The win rate $W$ is the proportion of winning trades with respect to all the trades made by a strategy. We use the following function to compute the win rate:
$$W = \frac{|T_{win}|}{N}$$
Where $W$ is the win rate, $N$ is the number of trades and, $T_{win}$ is the set of all trades where the strategy made money.
Similarly, we can compute the rate of losing trades:
$$
L = \frac{|T_{lose}|}{N}
$$
Where $L$ is the lose rate, $N$ is the amount of trades made and, $T_{lose}$ is the set of all trades where the strategy lost money. Note that the above formula is the same as calculating $L = 1 – W$ or $W = 1 – L$
### Risk Reward Ratio
Risk Reward Ratio ($R$) is a formula used to measure the expected gains of a given investment against the risk of loss. It is basically what you potentially win divided by what you potentially lose. Formally:
$$ R = \frac{\text{potential_profit}}{\text{potential_loss}} $$
???+ Example "Worked example of $R$ calculation"
Let's say that you think that the price of *stonecoin* today is 10.0\$. You believe that, because they will start mining stonecoin, it will go up to 15.0\$ tomorrow. There is the risk that the stone is too hard, and the GPUs can't mine it, so the price might go to 0\$ tomorrow. You are planning to invest 100\$, which will give you 10 shares (100 / 10).
R &= \frac{\text{potential_profit}}{\text{potential_loss}}\\
&= \frac{50}{15}\\
&= 3.33
\end{aligned}$<br>
What it effectively means is that the strategy have the potential to make 3.33\$ for each 1\$ invested.
On a long horizon, that is, on many trades, we can calculate the risk reward by dividing the strategy' average profit on winning trades by the strategy' average loss on losing trades. We can calculate the average profit, $\mu_{win}$, as follows:
By combining the Win Rate $W$ and the Risk Reward ratio $R$ to create an expectancy ratio $E$. A expectance ratio is the expected return of the investment made in a trade. We can compute the value of $E$ as follows:
$$E = R * W - L$$
!!! Example "Calculating $E$"
Let's say that a strategy has a win rate $W = 0.28$ and a risk reward ratio $R = 5$. What this means is that the strategy is expected to make 5 times the investment around on 28% of the trades it makes. Working out the example:<br>
$E = R * W - L = 5 * 0.28 - 0.72 = 0.68$
<br>
The expectancy worked out in the example above means that, on average, this strategy' trades will return 1.68 times the size of its losses. Said another way, the strategy makes 1.68\$ for every 1\$ it loses, on average.
This is important for two reasons: First, it may seem obvious, but you know right away that you have a positive return. Second, you now have a number you can compare to other candidate systems to make decisions about which ones you employ.
It is important to remember that any system with an expectancy greater than 0 is profitable using past data. The key is finding one that will be profitable in the future.
You can also use this value to evaluate the effectiveness of modifications to this system.
!!! Note
It's important to keep in mind that Edge is testing your expectancy using historical data, there's no guarantee that you will have a similar edge in the future. It's still vital to do this testing in order to build confidence in your methodology but be wary of "curve-fitting" your approach to the historical data as things are unlikely to play out the exact same way for future trades.
## How does it work?
Edge combines dynamic stoploss, dynamic positions, and whitelist generation into one isolated module which is then applied to the trading strategy. If enabled in config, Edge will go through historical data with a range of stoplosses in order to find buy and sell/stoploss signals. It then calculates win rate and expectancy over *N* trades for each stoploss. Here is an example:
The goal here is to find the best stoploss for the strategy in order to have the maximum expectancy. In the above example stoploss at $3%$ leads to the maximum expectancy according to historical data.
Edge module then forces stoploss value it evaluated to your strategy dynamically.
### Position size
Edge dictates the amount at stake for each trade to the bot according to the following factors:
- Allowed capital at risk
- Stoploss
Allowed capital at risk is calculated as follows:
```
Allowed capital at risk = (Capital available_percentage) X (Allowed risk per trade)
```
Stoploss is calculated as described above with respect to historical data.
The position size is calculated as follows:
```
Position size = (Allowed capital at risk) / Stoploss
```
Example:
Let's say the stake currency is **ETH** and there is $10$ **ETH** on the wallet. The capital available percentage is $50%$ and the allowed risk per trade is $1\%$. Thus, the available capital for trading is $10 * 0.5 = 5$ **ETH** and the allowed capital at risk would be $5 * 0.01 = 0.05$ **ETH**.
-**Trade 1:** The strategy detects a new buy signal in the **XLM/ETH** market. `Edge Positioning` calculates a stoploss of $2\%$ and a position of $0.05 / 0.02 = 2.5$ **ETH**. The bot takes a position of $2.5$ **ETH** in the **XLM/ETH** market.
-**Trade 2:** The strategy detects a buy signal on the **BTC/ETH** market while **Trade 1** is still open. `Edge Positioning` calculates the stoploss of $4\%$ on this market. Thus, **Trade 2** position size is $0.05 / 0.04 = 1.25$ **ETH**.
!!! Tip "Available Capital $\neq$ Available in wallet"
The available capital for trading didn't change in **Trade 2** even with **Trade 1** still open. The available capital **is not** the free amount in the wallet.
-**Trade 3:** The strategy detects a buy signal in the **ADA/ETH** market. `Edge Positioning` calculates a stoploss of $1\%$ and a position of $0.05 / 0.01 = 5$ **ETH**. Since **Trade 1** has $2.5$ **ETH** blocked and **Trade 2** has $1.25$ **ETH** blocked, there is only $5 - 1.25 - 2.5 = 1.25$ **ETH** available. Hence, the position size of **Trade 3** is $1.25$ **ETH**.
!!! Tip "Available Capital Updates"
The available capital does not change before a position is sold. After a trade is closed the Available Capital goes up if the trade was profitable or goes down if the trade was a loss.
- The strategy detects a sell signal in the **XLM/ETH** market. The bot exits **Trade 1** for a profit of $1$ **ETH**. The total capital in the wallet becomes $11$ **ETH** and the available capital for trading becomes $5.5$ **ETH**.
-**Trade 4** The strategy detects a new buy signal int the **XLM/ETH** market. `Edge Positioning` calculates the stoploss of $2\%$, and the position size of $0.055 / 0.02 = 2.75$ **ETH**.

Edgemodulehasfollowingconfigurationoptions:
|Parameter|Description|
|------------|-------------|
|`enabled`|Iftrue,thenEdgewillrunperiodically.<br>*Defaults to `false`.* <br>**Datatype:** Boolean
| `process_throttle_secs` | How often should Edge run in seconds. <br>*Defaults to `3600` (once per hour).* <br>**Datatype:** Integer
| `calculate_since_number_of_days` | Number of days of data against which Edge calculates Win Rate, Risk Reward and Expectancy. <br>**Note** that it downloads historical data so increasing this number would lead to slowing down the bot. <br>*Defaults to `7`.* <br>**Datatype:** Integer
| `allowed_risk` | Ratio of allowed risk per trade. <br>*Defaults to `0.01` (1%)).* <br>**Datatype:** Float
| `stoploss_range_min` | Minimum stoploss. <br>*Defaults to `-0.01`.* <br>**Datatype:** Float
| `stoploss_range_max` | Maximum stoploss. <br>*Defaults to `-0.10`.* <br>**Datatype:** Float
| `stoploss_range_step` | As an example if this is set to -0.01 then Edge will test the strategy for `[-0.01, -0,02, -0,03 ..., -0.09, -0.10]` ranges. <br>**Note** than having a smaller step means having a bigger range which could lead to slow calculation. <br> If you set this parameter to -0.001, you then slow down the Edge calculation by a factor of 10. <br>*Defaults to `-0.001`.* <br>**Datatype:** Float
| `minimum_winrate` | It filters out pairs which don't have at least minimum_winrate. <br>This comes handy if you want to be conservative and don't comprise win rate in favour of risk reward ratio. <br>*Defaults to `0.60`.* <br>**Datatype:** Float
| `minimum_expectancy` | It filters out pairs which have the expectancy lower than this number. <br>Having an expectancy of 0.20 means if you put 10\$ on a trade you expect a 12\$ return. <br>*Defaults to `0.20`.* <br>**Datatype:** Float
| `min_trade_number` | When calculating *W*, *R* and *E* (expectancy) against historical data, you always want to have a minimum number of trades. The more this number is the more Edge is reliable. <br>Having a win rate of 100% on a single trade doesn't mean anything at all. But having a win rate of 70% over past 100 trades means clearly something. <br>*Defaults to `10` (it is highly recommended not to decrease this number).* <br>**Datatype:** Integer
| `max_trade_duration_minute` | Edge will filter out trades with long duration. If a trade is profitable after 1 month, it is hard to evaluate the strategy based on it. But if most of trades are profitable and they have maximum duration of 30 minutes, then it is clearly a good sign.<br>**NOTICE:** While configuring this value, you should take into consideration your timeframe. As an example filtering out trades having duration less than one day for a strategy which has 4h interval does not make sense. Default value is set assuming your strategy interval is relatively small (1m or 5m, etc.).<br>*Defaults to `1440` (one day).* <br>**Datatype:** Integer
| `remove_pumps` | Edge will remove sudden pumps in a given market while going through historical data. However, given that pumps happen very often in crypto markets, we recommend you keep this off.<br>*Defaults to `false`.* <br>**Datatype:** Boolean
## Running Edge independently
You can run Edge independently in order to see in details the result. Here is an example:
Edge produced the above table by comparing `calculate_since_number_of_days` to `minimum_expectancy` to find `min_trade_number` historical information based on the config file. The timerange Edge uses for its comparisons can be further limited by using the `--timerange` switch.
In live and dry-run modes, after the `process_throttle_secs` has passed, Edge will again process `calculate_since_number_of_days` against `minimum_expectancy` to find `min_trade_number`. If no `min_trade_number` is found, the bot will return "whitelist empty". Depending on the trade strategy being deployed, "whitelist empty" may be return much of the time - or *all* of the time. The use of Edge may also cause trading to occur in bursts, though this is rare.
If you encounter "whitelist empty" a lot, condsider tuning `calculate_since_number_of_days`, `minimum_expectancy` and `min_trade_number` to align to the trading frequency of your strategy.
### Update cached pairs with the latest data
Edge requires historic data the same way as backtesting does.
Please refer to the [Data Downloading](data-download.md) section of the documentation for details.
Doing `--timerange=-20190901` will get all available data until September 1st (excluding September 1st 2019).

* `MaxDrawDownHyperOptLoss` - Optimizes Maximum absolute drawdown.
* `MaxDrawDownRelativeHyperOptLoss` - Optimizes both maximum absolute drawdown while also adjusting for maximum relative drawdown.
* `MaxDrawDownPerPairHyperOptLoss` - Calculates the profit/drawdown ratio per pair and returns the worst result as objective, forcing hyperopt to optimize the parameters for all pairs in the pairlist. This way, we prevent one or more pairs with good results from inflating the metrics, while the pairs with poor results are not represented and therefore not optimized.
* `CalmarHyperOptLoss` - Optimizes Calmar Ratio calculated on trade returns relative to max drawdown.
* `ProfitDrawDownHyperOptLoss` - Optimizes by max Profit & min Drawdown objective. `DRAWDOWN_MULT` variable within the hyperoptloss file can be adjusted to be stricter or more flexible on drawdown purposes.
* `MultiMetricHyperOptLoss` - Optimizes by several key metrics to achieve balanced performance. The primary focus is on maximizing Profit and minimizing Drawdown, while also considering additional metrics such as Profit Factor, Expectancy Ratio and Winrate. Moreover, it applies a penalty for epochs with a low number of trades, encouraging strategies with adequate trade frequency.
The `-e` option will set how many evaluations hyperopt will do. Since hyperopt uses Bayesian search, running too many epochs at once may not produce greater results. Experience has shown that best results are usually not improving much after 500-1000 epochs.
The `--early-stop` option will set after how many epochs with no improvements hyperopt will stop. A good value is 20-30% of the total epochs. Any value greater than 0 and lower than 20 it will be replaced by 20. Early stop is by default disabled (`--early-stop=0`)
Doing multiple runs (executions) with a few 1000 epochs and different random state will most likely produce different results.
The `--spaces all` option determines that all possible parameters should be optimized. Possibilities are listed below.
* `roi`: just optimize the minimal profit table for your strategy
* `stoploss`: search for the best stoploss value
* `trailing`: search for the best trailing stop values
* `trades`: search for the best max open trades values
* `protection`: search for the best protection parameters (read the [protections section](#optimizing-protections) on how to properly define these)
* `default`: `all` except `trailing` and `protection`
* `default`: `all` except `trailing`, `trades` and `protection`

* space-separated list of any of the above values for example `--spaces roi stoploss`
The default Hyperopt Search Space, used when no `--space` command line option is specified, does not include the `trailing` hyperspace. We recommend you to run optimization for the `trailing` hyperspace separately, when the best parameters for other hyperspaces were found, validated and pasted into your custom strategy.
