<p>This page explains some advanced concepts available for strategies.
If you're just getting started, please be familiar with the methods described in the <a href="../strategy-customization/">Strategy Customization</a> documentation and with the <a href="../bot-basics/">Freqtrade basics</a> first.</p>
<p><a href="../bot-basics/">Freqtrade basics</a> describes in which sequence each method described below is called, which can be helpful to understand which method to use for your custom needs.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>All callback methods described below should only be implemented in a strategy if they are actually used.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonition tip">
<p class="admonition-title">Tip</p>
<p>You can get a strategy template containing all below methods by running <code>freqtrade new-strategy --strategy MyAwesomeStrategy --template advanced</code></p>

<h2 id="custom-stoploss">Custom stoploss<a class="headerlink" href="#custom-stoploss" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>A stoploss can only ever move upwards - so if you set it to an absolute profit of 2%, you can never move it below this price.
Also, the traditional <code>stoploss</code> value serves as an absolute lower level and will be instated as the initial stoploss.</p>
<p>The usage of the custom stoploss method must be enabled by setting <code>use_custom_stoploss=True</code> on the strategy object.
The method must return a stoploss value (float / number) with a relative ratio below the current price.
E.g. <code>current_profit = 0.05</code> (5% profit) - stoploss returns <code>0.02</code> - then you "locked in" a profit of 3% (<code>0.05 - 0.02 = 0.03</code>).</p>
<p>To simulate a regular trailing stoploss of 4% (trailing 4% behind the maximum reached price) you would use the following very simple method:</p>

<p>Stoploss on exchange works similar to <code>trailing_stop</code>, and the stoploss on exchange is updated as configured in <code>stoploss_on_exchange_interval</code> (<a href="../stoploss/#stop-loss-on-exchange-freqtrade">More details about stoploss on exchange</a>).</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Use of dates</p>
<p>All time-based calculations should be done based on <code>current_time</code> - using <code>datetime.now()</code> or <code>datetime.utcnow()</code> is discouraged, as this will break backtesting support.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonition tip">
<p class="admonition-title">Trailing stoploss</p>
<p>It's recommended to disable <code>trailing_stop</code> when using custom stoploss values. Both can work in tandem, but you might encounter the trailing stop to move the price higher while your custom function would not want this, causing conflicting behavior.</p>

<div class="admonition note">

<p>Unfilled order timeouts are not relevant during backtesting or hyperopt, and are only relevant during real (live) trading. Therefore these methods are only called in these circumstances.</p>

This is done by utilizing BASE64 encoding and providing this string at the strategy configuration field,
