+### Multiple instances using docker
+
+To run multiple instances of freqtrade using docker you will need to edit the docker-compose.yml file and add all the instances you want as separate services. Remember, you can separate your configuration into multiple files, so it's a good idea to think about making them modular, then if you need to edit something common to all bots, you can do that in a single config file.

 On many systems `syslog` (`rsyslog`) fetches data from `journald` (and vice versa), so both `--logfile syslog` or `--logfile journald` can be used and the messages be viewed with both `journalctl` and a syslog viewer utility. You can combine this in any way which suites you better.

+### Backtest result caching
+
+To save time, by default backtest will reuse a cached result from within the last day when the backtested strategy and config match that of a previous backtest. To force a new backtest despite existing result for an identical run specify `--cache none` parameter.
+
+!!! Warning
+    Caching is automatically disabled for open-ended timeranges (`--timerange 20210101-`), as freqtrade cannot ensure reliably that the underlying data didn't change. It can also use cached results where it shouldn't if the original backtest had missing data at the end, which was fixed by downloading more data.
+    In this instance, please use `--cache none` once to force a fresh backtest.

 Multiple configuration files can be specified and used by the bot or the bot can read its configuration parameters from the process standard input stream.
 
+You can specify additional configuration files in `add_config_files`. Files specified in this parameter will be loaded and merged with the initial config file. The files are resolved relative to the initial configuration file.
+This is similar to using multiple `--config` parameters, but simpler in usage as you don't have to specify all files for all commands.
+
 !!! Tip "Use multiple configuration files to keep secrets secret"
     You can use a 2nd configuration file containing your secrets. That way you can share your "primary" configuration file, while still keeping your API keys for yourself.
 
+    ``` json title="user_data/config.json"
+    "add_config_files": [
+        "config-private.json"
+    ]
+    ```
+    
+    ``` bash
+    freqtrade trade --config user_data/config.json <...>
+    ```
+
+    The 2nd file should only specify what you intend to override.
+    If a key is in more than one of the configurations, then the "last specified configuration" wins (in the above example, `config-private.json`).
+
+    For one-off commands, you can also use the below syntax by specifying multiple "--config" parameters.
+
     ``` bash
     freqtrade trade --config user_data/config.json --config user_data/config-private.json <...>
     ```
-    The 2nd file should only specify what you intend to override.
+
-    If a key is in more than one of the configurations, then the "last specified configuration" wins (in the above example, `config-private.json`).
+    This is equivalent to the example above - but `config-private.json` is specified as cli argument.
+
+??? Note "config collision handling"
+    If the same configuration setting takes place in both `config.json` and `config-import.json`, then the parent configuration wins.
+    In the below case, `max_open_trades` would be 3 after the merging - as the reusable "import" configuration has this key overwritten.
+
+    ``` json title="user_data/config.json"
+    {
+        "max_open_trades": 3,
+        "stake_currency": "USDT",

-exchange markets and trading APIs. The complete up-to-date list can be found in the
-[CCXT repo homepage](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/tree/master/python).
- However, the bot was tested by the development team with only Bittrex, Binance and Kraken,
- so these are the only officially supported exchanges:

-- [Bittrex](https://bittrex.com/): "bittrex"
-- [Binance](https://www.binance.com/): "binance"
-- [Kraken](https://kraken.com/): "kraken"

-Some exchanges require special configuration, which can be found on the [Exchange-specific Notes](exchanges.md) documentation page.

-#### Sample exchange configuration
-
-A exchange configuration for "binance" would look as follows:
-
-```json
-"exchange": {

-        "enableRateLimit": true,
-        "rateLimit": 200
-    },
-```
-
-This configuration enables binance, as well as rate-limiting to avoid bans from the exchange.
-`"rateLimit": 200` defines a wait-event of 0.2s between each call. This can also be completely disabled by setting `"enableRateLimit"` to false.
-
-!!! Note
-    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 `"enableRateLimit"` is enabled and increase the `"rateLimit"` parameter step by step.

+    Often, you'll want to download data for all pairs of a specific quote-currency. In such cases, you can use the following shorthand:
+    `freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs .*/USDT <...>`. The provided "pairs" string will be expanded to contain all active pairs on the exchange.
+    To also download data for inactive (delisted) pairs, add `--include-inactive-pairs` to the command.
+
+??? Note "Permission denied errors"
+    If your configuration directory `user_data` was made by docker, you may get the following error:
+
+    ```
+    cp: cannot create regular file 'user_data/data/binance/pairs.json': Permission denied
+    ```
+
+    You can fix the permissions of your user-data directory as follows:
+
+    ```
+    sudo chown -R $UID:$GID user_data
+    ```
+
+### Start download
+
+Then run:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade download-data --exchange binance
+```
+
+This will download historical candle (OHLCV) data for all the currency pairs you defined in `pairs.json`.
+
+Alternatively, specify the pairs directly
+
+```bash
+freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs ETH/USDT XRP/USDT BTC/USDT
+```
+
+or as regex (to download all active USDT pairs)
+
+```bash
+freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs .*/USDT
+```
+
+### Other Notes
+
+- To use a different directory than the exchange specific default, use `--datadir user_data/data/some_directory`.
+- To change the exchange used to download the historical data from, please use a different configuration file (you'll probably need to adjust rate limits etc.)
+- To use `pairs.json` from some other directory, use `--pairs-file some_other_dir/pairs.json`.
+- To download historical candle (OHLCV) data for only 10 days, use `--days 10` (defaults to 30 days).
+- To download historical candle (OHLCV) data from a fixed starting point, use `--timerange 20200101-` - which will download all data from January 1st, 2020. Eventually set end dates are ignored.
+- Use `--timeframes` to specify what timeframe download the historical candle (OHLCV) data for. Default is `--timeframes 1m 5m` which will download 1-minute and 5-minute data.
+- To use exchange, timeframe and list of pairs as defined in your configuration file, use the `-c/--config` option. With this, the script uses the whitelist defined in the config as the list of currency pairs to download data for and does not require the pairs.json file. You can combine `-c/--config` with most other options.

-
-In alternative to the whitelist from `config.json`, a `pairs.json` file can be used.
-
-If you are using Binance for example:
-
-- create a directory `user_data/data/binance` and copy or create the `pairs.json` file in that directory.
-- update the `pairs.json` file to contain the currency pairs you are interested in.
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p user_data/data/binance
-cp tests/testdata/pairs.json user_data/data/binance
-```
-
-If your configuration directory `user_data` was made by docker, you may get the following error:

-```
-
-You can fix the permissions of your user-data directory as follows:
-
-```
-sudo chown -R $UID:$GID user_data

-
-The format of the `pairs.json` file is a simple json list.
-Mixing different stake-currencies is allowed for this file, since it's only used for downloading.
-
-``` json

-### Start download
-
-Then run:
-
-```bash
-freqtrade download-data --exchange binance
-```
-
-This will download historical candle (OHLCV) data for all the currency pairs you defined in `pairs.json`.
-
-### Other Notes
-
-- To use a different directory than the exchange specific default, use `--datadir user_data/data/some_directory`.
-- To change the exchange used to download the historical data from, please use a different configuration file (you'll probably need to adjust rate limits etc.)
-- To use `pairs.json` from some other directory, use `--pairs-file some_other_dir/pairs.json`.
-- To download historical candle (OHLCV) data for only 10 days, use `--days 10` (defaults to 30 days).
-- To download historical candle (OHLCV) data from a fixed starting point, use `--timerange 20200101-` - which will download all data from January 1st, 2020. Eventually set end dates are ignored.
-- Use `--timeframes` to specify what timeframe download the historical candle (OHLCV) data for. Default is `--timeframes 1m 5m` which will download 1-minute and 5-minute data.
-- To use exchange, timeframe and list of pairs as defined in your configuration file, use the `-c/--config` option. With this, the script uses the whitelist defined in the config as the list of currency pairs to download data for and does not require the pairs.json file. You can combine `-c/--config` with most other options.

 # Exchange-specific Notes
 
-This page combines common gotchas and informations which are exchange-specific and most likely don't apply to other exchanges.
+This page combines common gotchas and Information which are exchange-specific and most likely don't apply to other exchanges.
+
+## Exchange configuration
+
+Freqtrade is based on [CCXT library](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt) that supports over 100 cryptocurrency
+exchange markets and trading APIs. The complete up-to-date list can be found in the
+[CCXT repo homepage](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/tree/master/python).
+However, the bot was tested by the development team with only a few exchanges.
+A current list of these can be found in the "Home" section of this documentation.
+
+Feel free to test other exchanges and submit your feedback or PR to improve the bot or confirm exchanges that work flawlessly..
+
+Some exchanges require special configuration, which can be found below.
+
+### Sample exchange configuration
+
+A exchange configuration for "binance" would look as follows:
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+    "name": "binance",
+    "key": "your_exchange_key",
+    "secret": "your_exchange_secret",
+    "ccxt_config": {},
+    "ccxt_async_config": {},
+    // ... 
+```
+
+### Setting rate limits
+
+Usually, rate limits set by CCXT are reliable and work well.
+In case of problems related to rate-limits (usually DDOS Exceptions in your logs), it's easy to change rateLimit settings to other values.
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+    "name": "kraken",
+    "key": "your_exchange_key",
+    "secret": "your_exchange_secret",
+    "ccxt_config": {"enableRateLimit": true},
+    "ccxt_async_config": {
+        "enableRateLimit": true,
+        "rateLimit": 3100
+    },
+```
+
+This configuration enables kraken, as well as rate-limiting to avoid bans from the exchange.
+`"rateLimit": 3100` defines a wait-event of 3.1s between each call. This can also be completely disabled by setting `"enableRateLimit"` to false.
+
+!!! Note
+    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 `"enableRateLimit"` is enabled and increase the `"rateLimit"` parameter step by step.
 
 ## Binance
 
 Binance supports [time_in_force](configuration.md#understand-order_time_in_force).
 
 !!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
-    Binance supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses stop-loss-limit orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it.
+    Binance supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses `stop-loss-limit` orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it by enabling stoploss on exchange..
 
 ### Binance Blacklist
 
 For Binance, please add `"BNB/<STAKE>"` to your blacklist to avoid issues.
 Accounts having BNB accounts use this to pay for fees - if your first trade happens to be on `BNB`, further trades will consume this position and make the initial BNB trade unsellable as the expected amount is not there anymore.
 
+### Binance Futures
+
+Binance has specific (unfortunately complex) [Futures Trading Quantitative Rules](https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/4f462ebe6ff445d4a170be7d9e897272) which need to be followed, and which prohibit a too low stake-amount (among others) for too many orders.
+Violating these rules will result in a trading restriction.
+
+When trading on Binance Futures market, orderbook must be used because there is no price ticker data for futures.
+
+``` jsonc
+  "entry_pricing": {
+      "use_order_book": true,
+      "order_book_top": 1,
+      "check_depth_of_market": {

+    Huobi supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses `stop-limit` orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it by enabling stoploss on exchange.
+
+## OKX (former OKEX)
+
+OKX requires a passphrase for each api key, you will therefore need to add this key into the configuration so your exchange section looks as follows:
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+    "name": "okx",
+    "key": "your_exchange_key",
+    "secret": "your_exchange_secret",
+    "password": "your_exchange_api_key_password",
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    OKX only provides 100 candles per api call. Therefore, the strategy will only have a pretty low amount of data available in backtesting mode.
+
+## Gate.io
+
+!!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
+    Gate.io supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses `stop-loss-limit` orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it by enabling stoploss on exchange..
+
+Gate.io allows the use of `POINT` to pay for fees. As this is not a tradable currency (no regular market available), automatic fee calculations will fail (and default to a fee of 0).
+The configuration parameter `exchange.unknown_fee_rate` can be used to specify the exchange rate between Point and the stake currency. Obviously, changing the stake-currency will also require changes to this value.

 Should you experience constant errors with Nonce (like `InvalidNonce`), it is best to regenerate the API keys. Resetting Nonce is difficult and it's usually easier to regenerate the API keys.

 Yes. You can edit your config and use the `/reload_config` command to reload the configuration. The bot will stop, reload the configuration and strategy and will restart with the new configuration and strategy.
 
-### I want to improve the bot with a new strategy
+### Why does my bot not sell everything it bought?
 
-That's great. We have a nice backtesting and hyperoptimization setup. See the tutorial [here|Testing-new-strategies-with-Hyperopt](bot-usage.md#hyperopt-commands).
+This is called "coin dust" and can happen on all exchanges.
+It happens because many exchanges subtract fees from the "receiving currency" - so you buy 100 COIN - but you only get 99.9 COIN.
+As COIN is trading in full lot sizes (1COIN steps), you cannot sell 0.9 COIN (or 99.9 COIN) - but you need to round down to 99 COIN.
+
+This is not a bot-problem, but will also happen while manual trading.
+
+While freqtrade can handle this (it'll sell 99 COIN), fees are often below the minimum tradable lot-size (you can only trade full COIN, not 0.9 COIN).
+Leaving the dust (0.9 COIN) on the exchange makes usually sense, as the next time freqtrade buys COIN, it'll eat into the remaining small balance, this time selling everything it bought, and therefore slowly declining the dust balance (although it most likely will never reach exactly 0).
+
+Where possible (e.g. on binance), the use of the exchange's dedicated fee currency will fix this.  
+On binance, it's sufficient to have BNB in your account, and have "Pay fees in BNB" enabled in your profile. Your BNB balance will slowly decline (as it's used to pay fees) - but you'll no longer encounter dust (Freqtrade will include the fees in the profit calculations).
+Other exchanges don't offer such possibilities, where it's simply something you'll have to accept or move to a different exchange.
+
+### I want to use incomplete candles
+
+Freqtrade will not provide incomplete candles to strategies. Using incomplete candles will lead to repainting and consequently to strategies with "ghost" buys, which are impossible to both backtest, and verify after they happened.
+
+You can use "current" market data by using the [dataprovider](strategy-customization.md#orderbookpair-maximum)'s orderbook or ticker methods - which however cannot be used during backtesting.

+This warning can point to one of the below problems:
+
+* Exchange downtime -> Check your exchange status page / blog / twitter feed for details.
+* Wrong system time -> Ensure your system-time is correct.
+* Barely traded pair -> Check the pair on the exchange webpage, look at the timeframe your strategy uses. If the pair does not have any volume in some candles (usually visualized with a "volume 0" bar, and a "_" as candle), this pair did not have any trades in this timeframe. These pairs should ideally be avoided, as they can cause problems with order-filling.

+# Trading with Leverage
+
+!!! Warning "Beta feature"
+    This feature is still in it's testing phase. Should you notice something you think is wrong please let us know via Discord or via Github Issue.
+
+!!! Note "Multiple bots on one account"
+    You can't run 2 bots on the same account with leverage. For leveraged / margin trading, freqtrade assumes it's the only user of the account, and all liquidation levels are calculated based on this assumption.
+
+!!! Danger "Trading with leverage is very risky"
+    Do not trade with a leverage > 1 using a strategy that hasn't shown positive results in a live run using the spot market. Check the stoploss of your strategy. With a leverage of 2, a stoploss of 0.5 (50%) would be too low, and these trades would be liquidated before reaching that stoploss.
+    We do not assume any responsibility for eventual losses that occur from using this software or this mode.
+
+    Please only use advanced trading modes when you know how freqtrade (and your strategy) works.
+    Also, never risk more than what you can afford to lose.
+
+Please read the [strategy migration guide](strategy_migration.md#strategy-migration-between-v2-and-v3) to migrate your strategy from a freqtrade v2 strategy, to v3 strategy that can short and trade futures.
+
+## Shorting
+
+Shorting is not possible when trading with [`trading_mode`](#understand-tradingmode) set to `spot`. To short trade, `trading_mode` must be set to `margin`(currently unavailable) or [`futures`](#futures), with [`margin_mode`](#margin-mode) set to `cross`(currently unavailable) or [`isolated`](#isolated-margin-mode)
+
+For a strategy to short, the strategy class must set the class variable `can_short = True`
+
+Please read [strategy customization](strategy-customization.md#entry-signal-rules) for instructions on how to set signals to enter and exit short trades.
+
+## Understand `trading_mode`
+
+The possible values are: `spot` (default), `margin`(*Currently unavailable*) or `futures`.
+
+### Spot
+
+Regular trading mode (low risk)
+
+- Long trades only (No short trades).
+- No leverage.
+- No Liquidation.
+- Profits gained/lost are equal to the change in value of the assets (minus trading fees).
+
+### Leverage trading modes
+
+With leverage, a trader borrows capital from the exchange. The capital must be re-payed fully to the exchange (potentially with interest), and the trader keeps any profits, or pays any losses, from any trades made using the borrowed capital.
+
+Because the capital must always be re-payed, exchanges will **liquidate** (forcefully sell the traders assets) a trade made using borrowed capital when the total value of assets in the leverage account drops to a certain point (a point where the total value of losses is less than the value of the collateral that the trader actually owns in the leverage account), in order to ensure that the trader has enough capital to pay the borrowed assets back to the exchange. The exchange will also charge a **liquidation fee**, adding to the traders losses.
+
+For this reason, **DO NOT TRADE WITH LEVERAGE IF YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOUR DOING. LEVERAGE TRADING IS HIGH RISK, AND CAN RESULT IN THE VALUE OF YOUR ASSETS DROPPING TO 0 VERY QUICKLY, WITH NO CHANCE OF INCREASING IN VALUE AGAIN.**
+
+#### Margin (currently unavailable)
+
+Trading occurs on the spot market, but the exchange lends currency to you in an amount equal to the chosen leverage. You pay the amount lent to you back to the exchange with interest, and your profits/losses are multiplied by the leverage specified.
+
+#### Futures
+
+Perpetual swaps (also known as Perpetual Futures) are contracts traded at a price that is closely tied to the underlying asset they are based off of (ex.). You are not trading the actual asset but instead are trading a derivative contract. Perpetual swap contracts can last indefinitely, in contrast to futures or option contracts.
+
+In addition to the gains/losses from the change in price of the futures contract, traders also exchange _funding fees_, which are gains/losses worth an amount that is derived from the difference in price between the futures contract and the underlying asset. The difference in price between a futures contract and the underlying asset varies between exchanges.
+
+To trade in futures markets, you'll have to set `trading_mode` to "futures".
+You will also have to pick a "margin mode" (explanation below) - with freqtrade currently only supporting isolated margin.
+
+``` json
+"trading_mode": "futures",
+"margin_mode": "isolated"
+```
+
+### Margin mode
+
+The possible values are: `isolated`, or `cross`(*currently unavailable*)
+
+#### Isolated margin mode
+
+Each market(trading pair), keeps collateral in a separate account
+
+``` json
+"margin_mode": "isolated"
+```
+
+#### Cross margin mode (currently unavailable)
+
+One account is used to share collateral between markets (trading pairs). Margin is taken from total account balance to avoid liquidation when needed.
+
+``` json
+"margin_mode": "cross"
+```
+
+## Understand `liquidation_buffer`
+
+*Defaults to `0.05`*
+
+A ratio specifying how large of a safety net to place between the liquidation price and the stoploss to prevent a position from reaching the liquidation price.
+This artificial liquidation price is calculated as:
+
+`freqtrade_liquidation_price = liquidation_price ± (abs(open_rate - liquidation_price) * liquidation_buffer)`
+
+- `±` = `+` for long trades
+- `±` = `-` for short trades
+
+Possible values are any floats between 0.0 and 0.99
+
+**ex:** If a trade is entered at a price of 10 coin/USDT, and the liquidation price of this trade is 8 coin/USDT, then with `liquidation_buffer` set to `0.05` the minimum stoploss for this trade would be $8 + ((10 - 8) * 0.05) = 8 + 0.1 = 8.1$
+
+!!! Danger "A `liquidation_buffer` of 0.0, or a low `liquidation_buffer` is likely to result in liquidations, and liquidation fees"
+    Currently Freqtrade is able to calculate liquidation prices, but does not calculate liquidation fees. Setting your `liquidation_buffer` to 0.0, or using a low `liquidation_buffer` could result in your positions being liquidated. Freqtrade does not track liquidation fees, so liquidations will result in inaccurate profit/loss results for your bot. If you use a low `liquidation_buffer`, it is recommended to use `stoploss_on_exchange` if your exchange supports this.
+
+### Developer
+
+#### Margin mode
+
+For shorts, the currency which pays the interest fee for the `borrowed` currency is purchased at the same time of the closing trade (This means that the amount purchased in short closing trades is greater than the amount sold in short opening trades).
+
+For longs, the currency which pays the interest fee for the `borrowed` will already be owned by the user and does not need to be purchased. The interest is subtracted from the `close_value` of the trade.
+
+All Fees are included in `current_profit` calculations during the trade.
+
+#### Futures mode
+
+Funding fees are either added or subtracted from the total amount of a trade

-It is possible to define custom sell signals, indicating that specified position should be sold. This is very useful when we need to customize sell conditions for each individual trade, or if you need the trade profit to take the sell decision. 
-
-For example you could implement a 1:2 risk-reward ROI with `custom_sell()`.
-
-Using custom_sell() signals in place of stoploss though *is not recommended*. It is a inferior method to using `custom_stoploss()` in this regard - which also allows you to keep the stoploss on exchange.
-
-!!! Note
-    Returning a `string` or `True` from this method is equal to setting sell signal on a candle at specified time. This method is not called when sell signal is set already, or if sell signals are disabled (`use_sell_signal=False` or `sell_profit_only=True` while profit is below `sell_profit_offset`). `string` max length is 64 characters. Exceeding this limit will cause the message to be truncated to 64 characters.

-The stoploss price can only ever move upwards - if the stoploss value returned from `custom_stoploss` would result in a lower stoploss price than was previously set, it will be ignored. The traditional `stoploss` value serves as an absolute lower level and will be instated as the initial stoploss.
-
-The usage of the custom stoploss method must be enabled by setting `use_custom_stoploss=True` on the strategy object.
-The method must return a stoploss value (float / number) as a percentage of the current price.
-E.g. If the `current_rate` is 200 USD, then returning `0.02` will set the stoploss price 2% lower, at 196 USD.
-
-The absolute value of the return value is used (the sign is ignored), so returning `0.05` or `-0.05` have the same result, a stoploss 5% below the current price.

-Stoploss on exchange works similar to `trailing_stop`, and the stoploss on exchange is updated as configured in `stoploss_on_exchange_interval` ([More details about stoploss on exchange](stoploss.md#stop-loss-on-exchange-freqtrade)).
+The provided exit-tag is then used as sell-reason - and shown as such in backtest results.
-
-!!! Note "Use of dates"
-    All time-based calculations should be done based on `current_time` - using `datetime.now()` or `datetime.utcnow()` is discouraged, as this will break backtesting support.
-
-!!! Tip "Trailing stoploss"
-    It's recommended to disable `trailing_stop` 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.
-
-### Custom stoploss examples
-
-The next section will show some examples on what's possible with the custom stoploss function.
-Of course, many more things are possible, and all examples can be combined at will.
-
-#### Time based trailing stop
-
-Use the initial stoploss for the first 60 minutes, after this change to 10% trailing stoploss, and after 2 hours (120 minutes) we use a 5% trailing stoploss.
-
-``` python
-from datetime import datetime, timedelta
-from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
-
-class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
-
-    # ... populate_* methods
-
-    use_custom_stoploss = True
-
-    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
-                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
-
-        # Make sure you have the longest interval first - these conditions are evaluated from top to bottom.
-        if current_time - timedelta(minutes=120) > trade.open_date_utc:
-            return -0.05
-        elif current_time - timedelta(minutes=60) > trade.open_date_utc:
-            return -0.10
-        return 1
-```
-
-#### Different stoploss per pair
-
-Use a different stoploss depending on the pair.
-In this example, we'll trail the highest price with 10% trailing stoploss for `ETH/BTC` and `XRP/BTC`, with 5% trailing stoploss for `LTC/BTC` and with 15% for all other pairs.
-
-``` python
-from datetime import datetime
-from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
-
-class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
-
-    # ... populate_* methods
-
-    use_custom_stoploss = True
-
-    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
-                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
-
-        if pair in ('ETH/BTC', 'XRP/BTC'):
-            return -0.10
-        elif pair in ('LTC/BTC'):
-            return -0.05
-        return -0.15
-```
-
-#### Trailing stoploss with positive offset
-
-Use the initial stoploss until the profit is above 4%, then use a trailing stoploss of 50% of the current profit with a minimum of 2.5% and a maximum of 5%.
-
-Please note that the stoploss can only increase, values lower than the current stoploss are ignored.
-
-``` python
-from datetime import datetime, timedelta
-from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
-
-class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
-
-    # ... populate_* methods
-
-    use_custom_stoploss = True
-
-    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
-                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
-
-        if current_profit < 0.04:
-            return -1 # return a value bigger than the initial stoploss to keep using the initial stoploss
-
-        # After reaching the desired offset, allow the stoploss to trail by half the profit
-        desired_stoploss = current_profit / 2
-
-        # Use a minimum of 2.5% and a maximum of 5%
-        return max(min(desired_stoploss, 0.05), 0.025)
-```
-
-#### Calculating stoploss relative to open price
-
-Stoploss values returned from `custom_stoploss()` always specify a percentage relative to `current_rate`. In order to set a stoploss relative to the *open* price, we need to use `current_profit` to calculate what percentage relative to the `current_rate` will give you the same result as if the percentage was specified from the open price.
-
-The helper function [`stoploss_from_open()`](strategy-customization.md#stoploss_from_open) can be used to convert from an open price relative stop, to a current price relative stop which can be returned from `custom_stoploss()`.
-
-### Calculating stoploss percentage from absolute price
-
-Stoploss values returned from `custom_stoploss()` always specify a percentage relative to `current_rate`. In order to set a stoploss at specified absolute price level, we need to use `stop_rate` to calculate what percentage relative to the `current_rate` will give you the same result as if the percentage was specified from the open price.
-
-The helper function [`stoploss_from_absolute()`](strategy-customization.md#stoploss_from_absolute) can be used to convert from an absolute price, to a current price relative stop which can be returned from `custom_stoploss()`.
-
-#### Stepped stoploss
-
-Instead of continuously trailing behind the current price, this example sets fixed stoploss price levels based on the current profit.
-
-* Use the regular stoploss until 20% profit is reached
-* Once profit is > 20% - set stoploss to 7% above open price.
-* Once profit is > 25% - set stoploss to 15% above open price.
-* Once profit is > 40% - set stoploss to 25% above open price.

-## Custom order price rules
-
-By default, freqtrade use the orderbook to automatically set an order price([Relevant documentation](configuration.md#prices-used-for-orders)), you also have the option to create custom order prices based on your strategy.
-
-You can use this feature by creating a `custom_entry_price()` function in your strategy file to customize entry prices and `custom_exit_price()` for exits.
 
 !!! Note
-    If your custom pricing function return None or an invalid value, price will fall back to `proposed_rate`, which is based on the regular pricing configuration.
+    `exit_reason` is limited to 100 characters, remaining data will be truncated.
 
-### Custom order entry and exit price example
+## Strategy version
+
+You can implement custom strategy versioning by using the "version" method, and returning the version you would like this strategy to have.
 
 ``` python
-from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone
+def version(self) -> str:
-from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+    """
-
+    Returns version of the strategy.
-class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    """
-
+    return "1.1"
-    # ... populate_* methods
-
-    def custom_entry_price(self, pair: str, current_time: datetime,
-                           proposed_rate, **kwargs) -> float:
-
-        dataframe, last_updated = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair=pair,
-                                                                timeframe=self.timeframe)
-        new_entryprice = dataframe['bollinger_10_lowerband'].iat[-1]
-        
-        return new_entryprice
-
-    def custom_exit_price(self, pair: str, trade: Trade,
-                          current_time: datetime, proposed_rate: float,
-                          current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
-
-        dataframe, last_updated = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair=pair,
-                                                                timeframe=self.timeframe)
-        new_exitprice = dataframe['bollinger_10_upperband'].iat[-1]
-        
-        return new_exitprice
-
-```
-
-!!! Warning
-    Modifying entry and exit prices will only work for limit orders. Depending on the price chosen, this can result in a lot of unfilled orders. By default the maximum allowed distance between the current price and the custom price is 2%, this value can be changed in config with the `custom_price_max_distance_ratio` parameter.
-
-!!! Example
-    If the new_entryprice is 97, the proposed_rate is 100 and the `custom_price_max_distance_ratio` is set to 2%, The retained valid custom entry price will be 98.
-
-!!! Warning "No backtesting support"
-    Custom entry-prices are currently not supported during backtesting.
-
-## Custom order timeout rules
-
-Simple, time-based order-timeouts can be configured either via strategy or in the configuration in the `unfilledtimeout` section.
-
-However, freqtrade also offers a custom callback for both order types, which allows you to decide based on custom criteria if an order did time out or not.
-
-!!! Note
-    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.
-
-### Custom order timeout example
-
-A simple example, which applies different unfilled-timeouts depending on the price of the asset can be seen below.
-It applies a tight timeout for higher priced assets, while allowing more time to fill on cheap coins.
-
-The function must return either `True` (cancel order) or `False` (keep order alive).
-
-``` python
-from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone
-from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
-
-class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
-
-    # ... populate_* methods
-
-    # Set unfilledtimeout to 25 hours, since our maximum timeout from below is 24 hours.
-    unfilledtimeout = {
-        'buy': 60 * 25,
-        'sell': 60 * 25
-    }
-
-    def check_buy_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:
-        if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(minutes=5):
-            return True
-        elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(minutes=3):
-            return True
-        elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(hours=24):
-           return True
-        return False
-
-
-    def check_sell_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict, **kwargs) -> bool:
-        if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(minutes=5):
-            return True
-        elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(minutes=3):
-            return True
-        elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date_utc < datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(hours=24):
-           return True
-        return False
 ```
 
 !!! Note
-    For the above example, `unfilledtimeout` must be set to something bigger than 24h, otherwise that type of timeout will apply first.
+    You should make sure to implement proper version control (like a git repository) alongside this, as freqtrade will not keep historic versions of your strategy, so it's up to the user to be able to eventually roll back to a prior version of the strategy.

-            else:
-                # Compound profits during favorable conditions instead of using a static stake.
-                return self.wallets.get_total_stake_amount() / self.config['max_open_trades']
-
-        # Use default stake amount.
-        return proposed_stake
-```
-
-Freqtrade will fall back to the `proposed_stake` value should your code raise an exception. The exception itself will be logged.
-
-!!! Tip
-    You do not _have_ to ensure that `min_stake <= returned_value <= max_stake`. Trades will succeed as the returned value will be clamped to supported range and this acton will be logged.
-
-!!! Tip
-    Returning `0` or `None` will prevent trades from being placed.

+

+```
+

+
+!!! Tip
+    You do not _have_ to ensure that `min_stake <= returned_value <= max_stake`. Trades will succeed as the returned value will be clamped to supported range and this action will be logged.
+
+!!! Tip
+    Returning `0` or `None` will prevent trades from being placed.
+
+## Custom exit signal
+
+Called for open trade every throttling iteration (roughly every 5 seconds) until a trade is closed.
+
+Allows to define custom exit signals, indicating that specified position should be sold. This is very useful when we need to customize exit conditions for each individual trade, or if you need trade data to make an exit decision.
+
+For example you could implement a 1:2 risk-reward ROI with `custom_exit()`.
+
+Using `custom_exit()` signals in place of stoploss though *is not recommended*. It is a inferior method to using `custom_stoploss()` in this regard - which also allows you to keep the stoploss on exchange.
+
+!!! Note
+    Returning a (none-empty) `string` or `True` from this method is equal to setting exit signal on a candle at specified time. This method is not called when exit signal is set already, or if exit signals are disabled (`use_exit_signal=False`). `string` max length is 64 characters. Exceeding this limit will cause the message to be truncated to 64 characters.
+    `custom_exit()` will ignore `exit_profit_only`, and will always be called unless `use_exit_signal=False`, even if there is a new enter signal.
+
+An example of how we can use different indicators depending on the current profit and also exit trades that were open longer than one day:
+
+``` python
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def custom_exit(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: 'datetime', current_rate: float,
+                    current_profit: float, **kwargs):
+        dataframe, _ = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair, self.timeframe)
+        last_candle = dataframe.iloc[-1].squeeze()
+
+        # Above 20% profit, sell when rsi < 80
+        if current_profit > 0.2:
+            if last_candle['rsi'] < 80:
+                return 'rsi_below_80'
+
+        # Between 2% and 10%, sell if EMA-long above EMA-short
+        if 0.02 < current_profit < 0.1:
+            if last_candle['emalong'] > last_candle['emashort']:
+                return 'ema_long_below_80'
+
+        # Sell any positions at a loss if they are held for more than one day.
+        if current_profit < 0.0 and (current_time - trade.open_date_utc).days >= 1:
+            return 'unclog'
+```
+
+See [Dataframe access](strategy-advanced.md#dataframe-access) for more information about dataframe use in strategy callbacks.
+
+## Custom stoploss
+
+Called for open trade every throttling iteration (roughly every 5 seconds) until a trade is closed.
+
+The usage of the custom stoploss method must be enabled by setting `use_custom_stoploss=True` on the strategy object.
+
+The stoploss price can only ever move upwards - if the stoploss value returned from `custom_stoploss` would result in a lower stoploss price than was previously set, it will be ignored. The traditional `stoploss` value serves as an absolute lower level and will be instated as the initial stoploss (before this method is called for the first time for a trade).
+
+The method must return a stoploss value (float / number) as a percentage of the current price.
+E.g. If the `current_rate` is 200 USD, then returning `0.02` will set the stoploss price 2% lower, at 196 USD.
+
+The absolute value of the return value is used (the sign is ignored), so returning `0.05` or `-0.05` have the same result, a stoploss 5% below the current price.
+
+To simulate a regular trailing stoploss of 4% (trailing 4% behind the maximum reached price) you would use the following very simple method:
+
+``` python
+# additional imports required
+from datetime import datetime
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    use_custom_stoploss = True
+
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+        """
+        Custom stoploss logic, returning the new distance relative to current_rate (as ratio).
+        e.g. returning -0.05 would create a stoploss 5% below current_rate.
+        The custom stoploss can never be below self.stoploss, which serves as a hard maximum loss.
+
+        For full documentation please go to https://www.freqtrade.io/en/latest/strategy-advanced/
+
+        When not implemented by a strategy, returns the initial stoploss value
+        Only called when use_custom_stoploss is set to True.
+
+        :param pair: Pair that's currently analyzed
+        :param trade: trade object.
+        :param current_time: datetime object, containing the current datetime
+        :param current_rate: Rate, calculated based on pricing settings in exit_pricing.
+        :param current_profit: Current profit (as ratio), calculated based on current_rate.
+        :param **kwargs: Ensure to keep this here so updates to this won't break your strategy.
+        :return float: New stoploss value, relative to the current rate
+        """
+        return -0.04
+```
+
+Stoploss on exchange works similar to `trailing_stop`, and the stoploss on exchange is updated as configured in `stoploss_on_exchange_interval` ([More details about stoploss on exchange](stoploss.md#stop-loss-on-exchange-freqtrade)).
+
+!!! Note "Use of dates"
+    All time-based calculations should be done based on `current_time` - using `datetime.now()` or `datetime.utcnow()` is discouraged, as this will break backtesting support.
+
+!!! Tip "Trailing stoploss"
+    It's recommended to disable `trailing_stop` 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.
+
+### Custom stoploss examples
+
+The next section will show some examples on what's possible with the custom stoploss function.
+Of course, many more things are possible, and all examples can be combined at will.
+
+#### Time based trailing stop
+
+Use the initial stoploss for the first 60 minutes, after this change to 10% trailing stoploss, and after 2 hours (120 minutes) we use a 5% trailing stoploss.
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime, timedelta
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    use_custom_stoploss = True
+
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        # Make sure you have the longest interval first - these conditions are evaluated from top to bottom.
+        if current_time - timedelta(minutes=120) > trade.open_date_utc:
+            return -0.05
+        elif current_time - timedelta(minutes=60) > trade.open_date_utc:
+            return -0.10
+        return 1
+```
+
+#### Different stoploss per pair
+
+Use a different stoploss depending on the pair.
+In this example, we'll trail the highest price with 10% trailing stoploss for `ETH/BTC` and `XRP/BTC`, with 5% trailing stoploss for `LTC/BTC` and with 15% for all other pairs.
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    use_custom_stoploss = True
+
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        if pair in ('ETH/BTC', 'XRP/BTC'):
+            return -0.10
+        elif pair in ('LTC/BTC'):
+            return -0.05
+        return -0.15
+```
+
+#### Trailing stoploss with positive offset
+
+Use the initial stoploss until the profit is above 4%, then use a trailing stoploss of 50% of the current profit with a minimum of 2.5% and a maximum of 5%.
+
+Please note that the stoploss can only increase, values lower than the current stoploss are ignored.
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime, timedelta
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    use_custom_stoploss = True
+
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        if current_profit < 0.04:
+            return -1 # return a value bigger than the initial stoploss to keep using the initial stoploss
+
+        # After reaching the desired offset, allow the stoploss to trail by half the profit
+        desired_stoploss = current_profit / 2
+
+        # Use a minimum of 2.5% and a maximum of 5%
+        return max(min(desired_stoploss, 0.05), 0.025)
+```
+
+#### Stepped stoploss
+
+Instead of continuously trailing behind the current price, this example sets fixed stoploss price levels based on the current profit.
+
+* Use the regular stoploss until 20% profit is reached
+* Once profit is > 20% - set stoploss to 7% above open price.
+* Once profit is > 25% - set stoploss to 15% above open price.
+* Once profit is > 40% - set stoploss to 25% above open price.
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+from freqtrade.strategy import stoploss_from_open
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    use_custom_stoploss = True
+
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        # evaluate highest to lowest, so that highest possible stop is used
+        if current_profit > 0.40:
+            return stoploss_from_open(0.25, current_profit, is_short=trade.is_short)
+        elif current_profit > 0.25:
+            return stoploss_from_open(0.15, current_profit, is_short=trade.is_short)
+        elif current_profit > 0.20:
+            return stoploss_from_open(0.07, current_profit, is_short=trade.is_short)
+
+        # return maximum stoploss value, keeping current stoploss price unchanged
+        return 1
+```
+
+#### Custom stoploss using an indicator from dataframe example
+
+Absolute stoploss value may be derived from indicators stored in dataframe. Example uses parabolic SAR below the price as stoploss.
+
+``` python
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    def populate_indicators(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+        # <...>
+        dataframe['sar'] = ta.SAR(dataframe)
+
+    use_custom_stoploss = True
+
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        dataframe, _ = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair, self.timeframe)
+        last_candle = dataframe.iloc[-1].squeeze()
+
+        # Use parabolic sar as absolute stoploss price
+        stoploss_price = last_candle['sar']
+
+        # Convert absolute price to percentage relative to current_rate
+        if stoploss_price < current_rate:
+            return (stoploss_price / current_rate) - 1
+
+        # return maximum stoploss value, keeping current stoploss price unchanged
+        return 1
+```
+
+See [Dataframe access](strategy-advanced.md#dataframe-access) for more information about dataframe use in strategy callbacks.
+
+### Common helpers for stoploss calculations
+
+#### Stoploss relative to open price
+
+Stoploss values returned from `custom_stoploss()` always specify a percentage relative to `current_rate`. In order to set a stoploss relative to the *open* price, we need to use `current_profit` to calculate what percentage relative to the `current_rate` will give you the same result as if the percentage was specified from the open price.
+
+The helper function [`stoploss_from_open()`](strategy-customization.md#stoploss_from_open) can be used to convert from an open price relative stop, to a current price relative stop which can be returned from `custom_stoploss()`.
+
+#### Stoploss percentage from absolute price
+
+Stoploss values returned from `custom_stoploss()` always specify a percentage relative to `current_rate`. In order to set a stoploss at specified absolute price level, we need to use `stop_rate` to calculate what percentage relative to the `current_rate` will give you the same result as if the percentage was specified from the open price.
+
+The helper function [`stoploss_from_absolute()`](strategy-customization.md#stoploss_from_absolute) can be used to convert from an absolute price, to a current price relative stop which can be returned from `custom_stoploss()`.
+

+
+## Custom order price rules
+
+By default, freqtrade use the orderbook to automatically set an order price([Relevant documentation](configuration.md#prices-used-for-orders)), you also have the option to create custom order prices based on your strategy.
+
+You can use this feature by creating a `custom_entry_price()` function in your strategy file to customize entry prices and `custom_exit_price()` for exits.
+
+Each of these methods are called right before placing an order on the exchange.
+
+!!! Note
+    If your custom pricing function return None or an invalid value, price will fall back to `proposed_rate`, which is based on the regular pricing configuration.
+
+### Custom order entry and exit price example
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    def custom_entry_price(self, pair: str, current_time: datetime, proposed_rate: float, 
+                           entry_tag: Optional[str], side: str, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        dataframe, last_updated = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair=pair,
+                                                                timeframe=self.timeframe)
+        new_entryprice = dataframe['bollinger_10_lowerband'].iat[-1]
+        
+        return new_entryprice
+
+    def custom_exit_price(self, pair: str, trade: Trade,
+                          current_time: datetime, proposed_rate: float,
+                          current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+
+        dataframe, last_updated = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair=pair,
+                                                                timeframe=self.timeframe)
+        new_exitprice = dataframe['bollinger_10_upperband'].iat[-1]
+        
+        return new_exitprice
+
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+    Modifying entry and exit prices will only work for limit orders. Depending on the price chosen, this can result in a lot of unfilled orders. By default the maximum allowed distance between the current price and the custom price is 2%, this value can be changed in config with the `custom_price_max_distance_ratio` parameter.  
+    **Example**:  
+    If the new_entryprice is 97, the proposed_rate is 100 and the `custom_price_max_distance_ratio` is set to 2%, The retained valid custom entry price will be 98, which is 2% below the current (proposed) rate.
+
+!!! Warning "Backtesting"
+    Custom prices are supported in backtesting (starting with 2021.12), and orders will fill if the price falls within the candle's low/high range.
+    Orders that don't fill immediately are subject to regular timeout handling, which happens once per (detail) candle.
+    `custom_exit_price()` is only called for sells of type exit_signal and Custom exit. All other exit-types will use regular backtesting prices.
+
+## Custom order timeout rules
+
+Simple, time-based order-timeouts can be configured either via strategy or in the configuration in the `unfilledtimeout` section.
+
+However, freqtrade also offers a custom callback for both order types, which allows you to decide based on custom criteria if an order did time out or not.
+
+!!! Note
+    Backtesting fills orders if their price falls within the candle's low/high range.
+    The below callbacks will be called once per (detail) candle for orders that don't fill immediately (which use custom pricing).
+
+### Custom order timeout example
+
+Called for every open order until that order is either filled or cancelled.
+`check_entry_timeout()` is called for trade entries, while `check_exit_timeout()` is called for trade exit orders.
+
+A simple example, which applies different unfilled-timeouts depending on the price of the asset can be seen below.
+It applies a tight timeout for higher priced assets, while allowing more time to fill on cheap coins.
+
+The function must return either `True` (cancel order) or `False` (keep order alive).
+
+``` python
+from datetime import datetime, timedelta
+from freqtrade.persistence import Trade, Order
+
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # ... populate_* methods
+
+    # Set unfilledtimeout to 25 hours, since the maximum timeout from below is 24 hours.
+    unfilledtimeout = {
+        'entry': 60 * 25,
+        'exit': 60 * 25
+    }
+
+    def check_entry_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: 'Order', 
+                            current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
+        if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date_utc < current_time - timedelta(minutes=5):
+            return True
+        elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date_utc < current_time - timedelta(minutes=3):
+            return True
+        elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date_utc < current_time - timedelta(hours=24):
+           return True
+        return False
+
+
+    def check_exit_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, order: 'Order',
+                           current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
+        if trade.open_rate > 100 and trade.open_date_utc < current_time - timedelta(minutes=5):
+            return True
+        elif trade.open_rate > 10 and trade.open_date_utc < current_time - timedelta(minutes=3):
+            return True
+        elif trade.open_rate < 1 and trade.open_date_utc < current_time - timedelta(hours=24):
+           return True
+        return False
+```
+
+!!! Note
+    For the above example, `unfilledtimeout` must be set to something bigger than 24h, otherwise that type of timeout will apply first.
+

+
+## Adjust trade position
+
+The `position_adjustment_enable` strategy property enables the usage of `adjust_trade_position()` callback in the strategy.
+For performance reasons, it's disabled by default and freqtrade will show a warning message on startup if enabled.
+`adjust_trade_position()` can be used to perform additional orders, for example to manage risk with DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging).
+
+`max_entry_position_adjustment` property is used to limit the number of additional buys per trade (on top of the first buy) that the bot can execute. By default, the value is -1 which means the bot have no limit on number of adjustment buys.
+
+The strategy is expected to return a stake_amount (in stake currency) between `min_stake` and `max_stake` if and when an additional buy order should be made (position is increased).
+If there are not enough funds in the wallet (the return value is above `max_stake`) then the signal will be ignored.
+Additional orders also result in additional fees and those orders don't count towards `max_open_trades`.
+
+This callback is **not** called when there is an open order (either buy or sell) waiting for execution, or when you have reached the maximum amount of extra buys that you have set on `max_entry_position_adjustment`.
+`adjust_trade_position()` is called very frequently for the duration of a trade, so you must keep your implementation as performant as possible.
+
+Position adjustments will always be applied in the direction of the trade, so a positive value will always increase your position, no matter if it's a long or short trade. Modifications to leverage are not possible.
+
+!!! Note "About stake size"
+    Using fixed stake size means it will be the amount used for the first order, just like without position adjustment.
+    If you wish to buy additional orders with DCA, then make sure to leave enough funds in the wallet for that.
+    Using 'unlimited' stake amount with DCA orders requires you to also implement the `custom_stake_amount()` callback to avoid allocating all funds to the initial order.
+
+!!! Warning
+    Stoploss is still calculated from the initial opening price, not averaged price.

     Some common patterns for this are listed in the [Common Mistakes](#common-mistakes-when-developing-strategies) section of this document.
 
+### Dataframe
+
+Freqtrade uses [pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/) to store/provide the candlestick (OHLCV) data.
+Pandas is a great library developed for processing large amounts of data.
+
+Each row in a dataframe corresponds to one candle on a chart, with the latest candle always being the last in the dataframe (sorted by date).
+
+``` output
+> dataframe.head()
+                       date      open      high       low     close     volume

+```
+
+Pandas provides fast ways to calculate metrics. To benefit from this speed, it's advised to not use loops, but use vectorized methods instead.
+
+Vectorized operations perform calculations across the whole range of data and are therefore, compared to looping through each row, a lot faster when calculating indicators.
+
+As a dataframe is a table, simple python comparisons like the following will not work
+
+``` python
+    if dataframe['rsi'] > 30:
+        dataframe['enter_long'] = 1
+```
+
+The above section will fail with `The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. [...]`.
+
+This must instead be written in a pandas-compatible way, so the operation is performed across the whole dataframe.
+
+``` python
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (dataframe['rsi'] > 30)
+    , 'enter_long'] = 1
+```
+
+With this section, you have a new column in your dataframe, which has `1` assigned whenever RSI is above 30.

+By default, freqtrade will attempt to load strategies from all `.py` files within `user_data/strategies`.
+
+Assuming your strategy is called `AwesomeStrategy`, stored in the file `user_data/strategies/AwesomeStrategy.py`, then you can start freqtrade with `freqtrade trade --strategy AwesomeStrategy`.
+Note that we're using the class-name, not the file name.
+
+You can use `freqtrade list-strategies` to see a list of all strategies Freqtrade is able to load (all strategies in the correct folder).
+It will also include a "status" field, highlighting potential problems.
+
+??? Hint "Customize strategy directory"
+    You can use a different directory by using `--strategy-path user_data/otherPath`. This parameter is available to all commands that require a strategy.

+
+In most common case it is possible to easily define informative pairs by using a decorator. All decorated `populate_indicators_*` methods run in isolation,
+not having access to data from other informative pairs, in the end all informative dataframes are merged and passed to main `populate_indicators()` method.
+When hyperopting, use of hyperoptable parameter `.value` attribute is not supported. Please use `.range` attribute. See [optimizing an indicator parameter](hyperopt.md#optimizing-an-indicator-parameter)

 - don't use `dataframe['volume'].mean()`. This uses the full DataFrame for backtesting, including data from the future. Use `dataframe['volume'].rolling(<window>).mean()` instead
 - don't use `.resample('1h')`. This uses the left border of the interval, so moves data from an hour to the start of the hour. Use `.resample('1h', label='right')` instead.
 
+### Colliding signals
+
+When conflicting signals collide (e.g. both `'enter_long'` and `'exit_long'` are 1), freqtrade will do nothing and ignore the entry signal. This will avoid trades that enter, and exit immediately. Obviously, this can potentially lead to missed entries.
+
+The following rules apply, and entry signals will be ignored if more than one of the 3 signals is set:
+
+- `enter_long` -> `exit_long`, `enter_short`
+- `enter_short` -> `exit_short`, `enter_long`

+# Strategy Migration between V2 and V3
+
+To support new markets and trade-types (namely short trades / trades with leverage), some things had to change in the interface.
+If you intend on using markets other than spot markets, please migrate your strategy to the new format.
+
+We have put a great effort into keeping compatibility with existing strategies, so if you just want to continue using freqtrade in __spot markets__, there should be no changes necessary for now.
+
+You can use the quick summary as checklist. Please refer to the detailed sections below for full migration details.
+
+## Quick summary / migration checklist
+
+Note : `forcesell`, `forcebuy`, `emergencysell` are changed to `force_exit`, `force_enter`, `emergency_exit` respectively.

+## Extensive explanation
+
+### `populate_buy_trend`
+
+In `populate_buy_trend()` - you will want to change the columns you assign from `'buy`' to `'enter_long'`, as well as the method name from `populate_buy_trend` to `populate_entry_trend`.
+
+```python hl_lines="1 9"
+def populate_buy_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 30)) &  # Signal: RSI crosses above 30
+            (dataframe['tema'] <= dataframe['bb_middleband']) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)  # Make sure Volume is not 0
+        ),
+        ['buy', 'buy_tag']] = (1, 'rsi_cross')
+
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+After:
+
+```python hl_lines="1 9"
+def populate_entry_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 30)) &  # Signal: RSI crosses above 30
+            (dataframe['tema'] <= dataframe['bb_middleband']) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)  # Make sure Volume is not 0
+        ),
+        ['enter_long', 'enter_tag']] = (1, 'rsi_cross')
+
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+Please refer to the [Strategy documentation](strategy-customization.md#entry-signal-rules) on how to enter and exit short trades.
+
+### `populate_sell_trend`
+
+Similar to `populate_buy_trend`, `populate_sell_trend()` will be renamed to `populate_exit_trend()`.
+We'll also change the column from `'sell'` to `'exit_long'`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="1 9"
+def populate_sell_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 70)) &  # Signal: RSI crosses above 70
+            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['bb_middleband']) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['tema'] < dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)  # Make sure Volume is not 0
+        ),
+        ['sell', 'exit_tag']] = (1, 'some_exit_tag')
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+After
+
+``` python hl_lines="1 9"
+def populate_exit_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+    dataframe.loc[
+        (
+            (qtpylib.crossed_above(dataframe['rsi'], 70)) &  # Signal: RSI crosses above 70
+            (dataframe['tema'] > dataframe['bb_middleband']) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['tema'] < dataframe['tema'].shift(1)) &  # Guard
+            (dataframe['volume'] > 0)  # Make sure Volume is not 0
+        ),
+        ['exit_long', 'exit_tag']] = (1, 'some_exit_tag')
+    return dataframe
+```
+
+Please refer to the [Strategy documentation](strategy-customization.md#exit-signal-rules) on how to enter and exit short trades.
+
+### `custom_sell`
+
+`custom_sell` has been renamed to `custom_exit`.
+It's now also being called for every iteration, independent of current profit and `exit_profit_only` settings.
+
+``` python hl_lines="2"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def custom_sell(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: 'datetime', current_rate: float,
+                    current_profit: float, **kwargs):

+        last_candle = dataframe.iloc[-1].squeeze()
+        # ...

+
+``` python hl_lines="2"

+        last_candle = dataframe.iloc[-1].squeeze()
+        # ...
+```
+
+### `custom_entry_timeout`
+
+`check_buy_timeout()` has been renamed to `check_entry_timeout()`, and `check_sell_timeout()` has been renamed to `check_exit_timeout()`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="2 6"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def check_buy_timeout(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', order: dict,

+        return False 
+```
+
+### Custom-stake-amount
+
+New string argument `side` - which can be either `"long"` or `"short"`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="4"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def custom_stake_amount(self, pair: str, current_time: datetime, current_rate: float,

+                            side: str, **kwargs) -> bool:
+      return True
+```
+
+### `confirm_trade_exit`
+
+Changed argument `sell_reason` to `exit_reason`.
+For compatibility, `sell_reason` will still be provided for a limited time.
+
+``` python hl_lines="3"
+class AwesomeStrategy(IStrategy):
+    def confirm_trade_exit(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, order_type: str, amount: float,

+                           current_time: datetime, **kwargs) -> bool:
+    return True
+```
+
+### `custom_entry_price`
+
+New string argument `side` - which can be either `"long"` or `"short"`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="3"

+      return proposed_rate
+```
+
+### Adjust trade position changes
+
+While adjust-trade-position itself did not change, you should no longer use `trade.nr_of_successful_buys` - and instead use `trade.nr_of_successful_entries`, which will also include short entries.
+
+### Helper methods
+
+Added argument "is_short" to `stoploss_from_open` and `stoploss_from_absolute`.
+This should be given the value of `trade.is_short`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="5 7"
+    def custom_stoploss(self, pair: str, trade: 'Trade', current_time: datetime,
+                        current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> float:
+        # once the profit has risen above 10%, keep the stoploss at 7% above the open price
+        if current_profit > 0.10:
+            return stoploss_from_open(0.07, current_profit)
+
+        return stoploss_from_absolute(current_rate - (candle['atr'] * 2), current_rate)
+
+        return 1
+
+```
+
+After:

+        # once the profit has risen above 10%, keep the stoploss at 7% above the open price
+        if current_profit > 0.10:

+
+        return stoploss_from_absolute(current_rate - (candle['atr'] * 2), current_rate, is_short=trade.is_short)
+
+
+```
+
+### Strategy/Configuration settings
+
+#### `order_time_in_force`
+
+`order_time_in_force` attributes changed from `"buy"` to `"entry"` and `"sell"` to `"exit"`.
+
+``` python
+    order_time_in_force: Dict = {
+        "buy": "gtc",
+        "sell": "gtc",

+```
+
+#### `order_types`
+
+`order_types` have changed all wordings from `buy` to `entry` - and `sell` to `exit`.
+And two words are joined with `_`. 
+
+``` python hl_lines="2-6"
+    order_types = {

+    exit_profit_offset: 0.01
+    ignore_roi_if_entry_signal = False
+```
+
+#### `unfilledtimeout`
+
+`unfilledtimeout` have changed all wordings from `buy` to `entry` - and `sell` to `exit`.
+
+``` python hl_lines="2-3"

+        "unit": "minutes"
+    }
+```
+
+#### `order pricing`
+
+Order pricing changed in 2 ways. `bid_strategy` was renamed to `entry_pricing` and `ask_strategy` was renamed to `exit_pricing`.
+The attributes `ask_last_balance` -> `price_last_balance` and `bid_last_balance` -> `price_last_balance` were renamed as well.
+Also, price-side can now be defined as `ask`, `bid`, `same` or `other`.

+The result would be a POST request with e.g. `{"text":"Status: running"}` body and `Content-Type: application/json` header which results `Status: running` message in the Mattermost channel.
+
+When using the Form-Encoded or JSON-Encoded configuration you can configure any number of payload values, and both the key and value will be ouput in the POST request. However, when using the raw data format you can only configure one value and it **must** be named `"data"`. In this instance the data key will not be output in the POST request, only the value. For example:
+
+```json
+  "webhook": {
+        "enabled": true,
+        "url": "https://<YOURHOOKURL>",
+        "format": "raw",
+        "webhookstatus": {
+            "data": "Status: {status}"
+        }
+    },
+```
+
+The result would be a POST request with e.g. `Status: running` body and `Content-Type: text/plain` header.
+
+Optional parameters are available to enable automatic retries for webhook messages. The `webhook.retries` parameter can be set for the maximum number of retries the webhook request should attempt if it is unsuccessful (i.e. HTTP response status is not 200). By default this is set to `0` which is disabled. An additional `webhook.retry_delay` parameter can be set to specify the time in seconds between retry attempts. By default this is set to `0.1` (i.e. 100ms). Note that increasing the number of retries or retry delay may slow down the trader if there are connectivity issues with the webhook. Example configuration for retries:
+
+```json
+  "webhook": {
+        "enabled": true,
+        "url": "https://<YOURHOOKURL>",
+        "retries": 3,
+        "retry_delay": 0.2,
+        "webhookstatus": {
+            "status": "Status: {status}"
+        }
+    },
+```
 
 Different payloads can be configured for different events. Not all fields are necessary, but you should configure at least one of the dicts, otherwise the webhook will never be called.
