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. The object passed to the strategy cannot be modified directly. Indirect modifications may occur based on callback results.

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. 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:

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

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.

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.

from freqtrade.persistence import Trade

# ...
profit = Trade.total_open_trades_stakes()

Class methods not supported in backtesting/hyperopt

The following class methods are not supported in backtesting/hyperopt mode.

get_overall_performance

Retrieve the overall performance - similar to the /performance telegram command.

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).

{"pair": "ETH/BTC", "profit": 0.015, "count": 5}

get_trading_volume

Get total trading volume based on orders.

from freqtrade.persistence import Trade

# ...
volume = Trade.get_trading_volume()

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, and only really makes sense in the context of a trade.
