## Pairlists
## Pairlists and Pairlist Handlers
Pairlists define the list of pairs that the bot should trade.
There are [`StaticPairList`](#static-pair-list) and dynamic Whitelists available.
Pairlist Handlers define the list of pairs (pairlist) that the bot should trade. They are configured in the `pairlists` section of the configuration settings.
[`PrecisionFilter`](#precision-filter) and [`PriceFilter`](#price-pair-filter) act as filters, removing low-value pairs.
In your configuration, you can use Static Pairlist (defined by the [`StaticPairList`](#static-pair-list) Pairlist Handler) and Dynamic Pairlist (defined by the [`VolumePairList`](#volume-pair-list) Pairlist Handler).
All pairlists can be chained, and a combination of all pairlists will become your new whitelist. Pairlists are executed in the sequence they are configured. You should always configure either `StaticPairList` or `DynamicPairList` as starting pairlists.
Additionaly, [`PrecisionFilter`](#precision-filter), [`PriceFilter`](#price-pair-filter) and [`SpreadFilter`](#spread-pair-filter) act as Pairlist Filters, removing low-value pairs.
Inactive markets and blacklisted pairs are always removed from the resulting `pair_whitelist`.
If multiple Pairlist Handlers are used, they are chained and a combination of all Pairlist Handlers forms the resulting pairlist the bot uses for trading / backtesting / downloading historical data. Pairlist Handlers are executed in the sequence they are configured. You should always configure either `StaticPairList` or `VolumePairList` as the starting Pairlist Handler.
### Available Pairlists
Inactive markets and blacklisted pairs are always removed from the resulting pairlist. Blacklisted pairs (those in the `pair_blacklist` configuration setting) are also always removed from the resulting pairlist.
### Available Pairlist Handlers

!!! Tip "Testing pairlists"
Pairlist configurations can be quite tricky to get right. Best use the [`test-pairlist`](utils.md#test-pairlist) subcommand to test your configuration quickly.

#### Volume Pair List
`VolumePairList` selects `number_assets` top pairs based on `sort_key`, which can only be `quoteVolume`.
`VolumePairList` employs sorting/filtering of pairs by their trading volume. I selects `number_assets` top pairs with sorting based on the `sort_key` (which can only be `quoteVolume`).
`VolumePairList` considers outputs of previous pairlists unless it's the first configured pairlist, it does not consider `pair_whitelist`, but selects the top assets from all available markets (with matching stake-currency) on the exchange.
!!! Deprecation
Other values for `sort_key` are now deprecated and this setting will be removed in the future versions.
`refresh_period` allows setting the period (in seconds), at which the pairlist will be refreshed. Defaults to 1800s (30 minutes).
When used in the chain of Pairlist Handlers in a non-leading position (after StaticPairList and other Pairlist Filters), `VolumePairList` considers outputs of previous Pairlist Handlers, adding its sorting/selection of the pairs by the trading volume.
`VolumePairList` is based on the ticker data, as reported by the ccxt library:

#### Price Pair Filter
#### PriceFilter
The `PriceFilter` allows filtering of pairs by price.
Currently, only `low_price_ratio` is implemented, where a raise of 1 price unit (pip) is below the `low_price_ratio` ratio.
Currently, only `low_price_ratio` setting is implemented, where a raise of 1 price unit (pip) is below the `low_price_ratio` ratio.
This option is disabled by default, and will only apply if set to <> 0.
Calculation example:
Min price precision is 8 decimals. If price is 0.00000011 - one step would be 0.00000012 - which is almost 10% higher than the previous value.
These pairs are dangerous since it may be impossible to place the desired stoploss - and often result in high losses.

#### SpreadFilter
Removes pairs that have a difference between asks and bids above the specified ratio (default `0.005`).
Example:
If `DOGE/BTC` maximum bid is 0.00000026 and minimum ask is 0.00000027 the ratio is calculated as: `1 - bid/ask ~= 0.037` which is `> 0.005`
