<p>Most of the strategy files already include the optimal <code>minimal_roi</code> value.
This parameter can be set in either Strategy or Configuration file. If you use it in the configuration file, it will override the
<code>minimal_roi</code> value from the strategy file.
If it is not set in either Strategy or Configuration, a default of 1000% <code>{"0": 10}</code> is used, and minimal roi is disabled unless your trade generates 1000% profit.</p>

<h3 id="understand-initial_state">Understand initial_state<a class="headerlink" href="#understand-initial_state" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>The <code>initial_state</code> configuration parameter is an optional field that defines the initial application state.
Possible values are <code>running</code> or <code>stopped</code>. (default=<code>running</code>)
If the value is <code>stopped</code> the bot has to be started with <code>/start</code> first.</p>
<h3 id="understand-forcebuy_enable">Understand forcebuy_enable<a class="headerlink" href="#understand-forcebuy_enable" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>The <code>forcebuy_enable</code> configuration parameter enables the usage of forcebuy commands via Telegram.
This is disabled for security reasons by default, and will show a warning message on startup if enabled.
For example, you can send <code>/forcebuy ETH/BTC</code> Telegram command when this feature if enabled to the bot,
who then buys the pair and holds it until a regular sell-signal (ROI, stoploss, /forcesell) appears.</p>
<p>This can be dangerous with some strategies, so use with care.</p>
<p>See <a href="../telegram-usage/">the telegram documentation</a> for details on usage.</p>
<h3 id="understand-process_throttle_secs">Understand process_throttle_secs<a class="headerlink" href="#understand-process_throttle_secs" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>The <code>process_throttle_secs</code> configuration parameter is an optional field that defines in seconds how long the bot should wait
before asking the strategy if we should buy or a sell an asset. After each wait period, the strategy is asked again for
every opened trade wether or not we should sell, and for all the remaining pairs (either the dynamic list of pairs or
the static list of pairs) if we should buy.</p>
<h3 id="understand-ask_last_balance">Understand ask_last_balance<a class="headerlink" href="#understand-ask_last_balance" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>The <code>ask_last_balance</code> configuration parameter sets the bidding price. Value <code>0.0</code> will use <code>ask</code> price, <code>1.0</code> will
use the <code>last</code> price and values between those interpolate between ask and last
price. Using <code>ask</code> price will guarantee quick success in bid, but bot will also
end up paying more then would probably have been necessary.</p>
<h3 id="understand-order_types">Understand order_types<a class="headerlink" href="#understand-order_types" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>The <code>order_types</code> configuration parameter contains a dict mapping order-types to
market-types as well as stoploss on or off exchange type and stoploss on exchange
update interval in seconds. This allows to buy using limit orders, sell using
limit-orders, and create stoploss orders using market. It also allows to set the
stoploss "on exchange" which means stoploss order would be placed immediately once
the buy order is fulfilled. In case stoploss on exchange and <code>trailing_stop</code> are
both set, then the bot will use <code>stoploss_on_exchange_interval</code> to check it periodically
and update it if necessary (e.x. in case of trailing stoploss).
This can be set in the configuration file or in the strategy.
Values set in the configuration file overwrites values set in the strategy.</p>
<p>If this is configured, all 4 values (<code>buy</code>, <code>sell</code>, <code>stoploss</code> and
<code>stoploss_on_exchange</code>) need to be present, otherwise the bot will warn about it and fail to start.
The below is the default which is used if this is not configured in either strategy or configuration file.</p>

<p>The <code>order_time_in_force</code> configuration parameter defines the policy by which the order
is executed on the exchange. Three commonly used time in force are:</p>
<p><strong>GTC (Good Till Canceled):</strong></p>
<p>This is most of the time the default time in force. It means the order will remain
on exchange till it is canceled by user. It can be fully or partially fulfilled.
If partially fulfilled, the remaining will stay on the exchange till cancelled.</p>
<p><strong>FOK (Full Or Kill):</strong></p>
<p>It means if the order is not executed immediately AND fully then it is canceled by the exchange.</p>
<p><strong>IOC (Immediate Or Canceled):</strong></p>
<p>It is the same as FOK (above) except it can be partially fulfilled. The remaining part
is automatically cancelled by the exchange.</p>
<p>The <code>order_time_in_force</code> parameter contains a dict with buy and sell time in force policy values.
This can be set in the configuration file or in the strategy.
Values set in the configuration file overwrites values set in the strategy.</p>
<p>The possible values are: <code>gtc</code> (default), <code>fok</code> or <code>ioc</code>.</p>

<p>Freqtrade is based on <a href="https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt">CCXT library</a> that supports over 100 cryptocurrency
exchange markets and trading APIs. The complete up-to-date list can be found in the
<a href="https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/tree/master/python">CCXT repo homepage</a>. However, the bot was tested
with only Bittrex and Binance.</p>
<p>The bot was tested with the following exchanges:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://bittrex.com/">Bittrex</a>: "bittrex"</li>
<li><a href="https://www.binance.com/">Binance</a>: "binance"</li>
</ul>
<p>Feel free to test other exchanges and submit your PR to improve the bot.</p>

<p>A exchange configuration for "binance" would look as follows:</p>

<span class="w"> </span><span class="p">},</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>This configuration enables binance, as well as rate limiting to avoid bans from the exchange.
<code>"rateLimit": 200</code> defines a wait-event of 0.2s between each call. This can also be completely disabled by setting <code>"enableRateLimit"</code> to false.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>Optimal settings for rate limiting depend on the exchange and the size of the whitelist, so an ideal parameter will vary on many other settings.
We try to provide sensible defaults per exchange where possible, if you encounter bans please make sure that <code>"enableRateLimit"</code> is enabled and increase the <code>"rateLimit"</code> parameter step by step.</p>

<h3 id="dynamic-pairlists">Dynamic Pairlists<a class="headerlink" href="#dynamic-pairlists" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Dynamic pairlists select pairs for you based on the logic configured.
The bot runs against all pairs (with that stake) on the exchange, and a number of assets
(<code>number_assets</code>) is selected based on the selected criteria.</p>
<p>By default, the <code>StaticPairList</code> method is used.
The Pairlist method is configured as <code>pair_whitelist</code> parameter under the <code>exchange</code>
section of the configuration.</p>
<p><strong>Available Pairlist methods:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><code>StaticPairList</code></li>
<li>It uses configuration from <code>exchange.pair_whitelist</code> and <code>exchange.pair_blacklist</code>.</li>
<li><code>VolumePairList</code></li>
<li>It selects <code>number_assets</code> top pairs based on <code>sort_key</code>, which can be one of
<code>askVolume</code>, <code>bidVolume</code> and <code>quoteVolume</code>, defaults to <code>quoteVolume</code>.</li>
<li>There is a possibility to filter low-value coins that would not allow setting a stop loss
(set <code>precision_filter</code> parameter to <code>true</code> for this).</li>
</ul>
