All profit calculations of Freqtrade include fees. For Backtesting / Hyperopt / Dry-run modes, the exchange default fee is used (lowest tier on the exchange). For live operations, fees are used as applied by the exchange (this includes BNB rebates etc.).
## Pair naming
Freqtrade follows the [ccxt naming convention](https://docs.ccxt.com/#/README?id=consistency-of-base-and-quote-currencies) for currencies.
Using the wrong naming convention in the wrong market will usually result in the bot not recognizing the pair, usually resulting in errors like "this pair is not available".
### Spot pair naming
For spot pairs, naming will be `base/quote` (e.g. `ETH/USDT`).
### Futures pair naming
For futures pairs, naming will be `base/quote:settle` (e.g. `ETH/USDT:USDT`).
## Bot execution logic
Starting freqtrade in dry-run or live mode (using `freqtrade trade`) will start the bot and start the bot iteration loop.
