# Trade Object

## Trade

A position freqtrade enters is stored in a `Trade` object - which is persisted to the database.
It's a core concept of freqtrade - and something you'll come across in many sections of the documentation, which will most likely point you to this location.

It will be passed to the strategy in many [strategy callbacks](strategy-callbacks.md). The object passed to the strategy cannot be modified directly. Indirect modifications may occur based on callback results.

## Trade - Available attributes

The following attributes / properties are available for each individual trade - and can be used with `trade.<property>` (e.g. `trade.pair`).

|  Attribute | DataType | Description |
|------------|-------------|-------------|
| `pair` | string | Pair of this trade. |
| `is_open` | boolean | Is the trade currently open, or has it been concluded. |
| `open_rate` | float | Rate this trade was entered at (Avg. entry rate in case of trade-adjustments). |
| `close_rate` | float | Close rate - only set when is_open = False. |
| `stake_amount` | float | Amount in Stake (or Quote) currency. |
| `amount` | float | Amount in Asset / Base currency that is currently owned. Will be 0.0 until the initial order fills. |
| `open_date` | datetime | Timestamp when trade was opened **use `open_date_utc` instead** |
| `open_date_utc` | datetime | Timestamp when trade was opened - in UTC. |
| `close_date` | datetime | Timestamp when trade was closed **use `close_date_utc` instead** |
| `close_date_utc` | datetime | Timestamp when trade was closed - in UTC. |
| `close_profit` | float | Relative profit at the time of trade closure. `0.01` == 1% |
| `close_profit_abs` | float | Absolute profit (in stake currency) at the time of trade closure. |
| `leverage` | float | Leverage used for this trade - defaults to 1.0 in spot markets. |
| `enter_tag` | string | Tag provided on entry via the `enter_tag` column in the dataframe. |
| `is_short` | boolean | True for short trades, False otherwise. |
| `orders` | Order[] | List of order objects attached to this trade (includes both filled and cancelled orders). |
| `date_last_filled_utc` | datetime | Time of the last filled order. |
| `entry_side` | "buy" / "sell" | Order Side the trade was entered. |
| `exit_side` | "buy" / "sell" | Order Side that will result in a trade exit / position reduction. |
| `trade_direction` | "long" / "short" | Trade direction in text - long or short. |
| `nr_of_successful_entries` | int | Number of successful (filled) entry orders. |
| `nr_of_successful_exits` | int | Number of successful (filled) exit orders. |

## Class methods

The following are class methods - which return generic information, and usually result in an explicit query against the database.
They can be used as `Trade.<method>` - e.g. `open_trades = Trade.get_open_trade_count()`

!!! Warning "Backtesting/hyperopt"
    Most methods will work in both backtesting / hyperopt and live/dry modes.
    During backtesting, it's limited to usage in [strategy callbacks](strategy-callbacks.md). Usage in `populate_*()` methods is not supported and will result in wrong results.

### get_trades_proxy

When your strategy needs some information on existing (open or close) trades - it's best to use `Trade.get_trades_proxy()`.

Usage:

``` python
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
from datetime import timedelta

# ...
trade_hist = Trade.get_trades_proxy(pair='ETH/USDT', is_open=False, open_date=current_date - timedelta(days=2))

```

`get_trades_proxy()` supports the following keyword arguments. All arguments are optional - calling `get_trades_proxy()` without arguments will return a list of all trades in the database.

* `pair` e.g. `pair='ETH/USDT'`
* `is_open` e.g. `is_open=False`
* `open_date` e.g. `open_date=current_date - timedelta(days=2)`
* `close_date` e.g. `close_date=current_date - timedelta(days=5)`

### get_open_trade_count

Get the number of currently open trades

``` python
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade
# ...
open_trades = Trade.get_open_trade_count()
```

### get_total_closed_profit

Retrieve the total profit the bot has generated so far.
Aggregates `close_profit_abs` for all closed trades.

``` python
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade

# ...
profit = Trade.get_total_closed_profit()
```

### total_open_trades_stakes

Retrieve the total stake_amount that's currently in trades.

``` python
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade

# ...
profit = Trade.total_open_trades_stakes()
```

### get_overall_performance

Retrieve the overall performance - similar to the `/performance` telegram command.

``` python
from freqtrade.persistence import Trade

# ...
if self.config['runmode'].value in ('live', 'dry_run'):
    performance = Trade.get_overall_performance()
```

Sample return value: ETH/BTC had 5 trades, with a total profit of 1.5% (ratio of 0.015).

``` json
{"pair": "ETH/BTC", "profit": 0.015, "count": 5}
```

## Order Object

An `Order` object represents an order on the exchange (or a simulated order in dry-run mode).
An `Order` object will always be tied to it's corresponding [`Trade`](#trade-object), and only really makes sense in the context of a trade.

### Order - Available attributes

an Order object is typically attached to a trade.
Most properties here can be None as they are dependent on the exchange response.

|  Attribute | DataType | Description |
|------------|-------------|-------------|
| `trade` | Trade | Trade object this order is attached to |
| `ft_pair` | string | Pair this order is for |
| `ft_is_open` | boolean | is the order filled? |
| `order_type` | string | Order type as defined on the exchange - usually market, limit or stoploss |
| `status` | string | Status as defined by ccxt. Usually open, closed, expired or canceled |
| `side` | string | Buy or Sell |
| `price` | float | Price the order was placed at |
| `average` | float | Average price the order filled at |
| `amount` | float | Amount in base currency |
| `filled` | float | Filled amount (in base currency) |
| `remaining` | float | Remaining amount |
| `cost` | float | Cost of the order - usually average * filled (*Exchange dependent on futures, may contain the cost with or without leverage and may be in contracts.*) |
| `stake_amount` | float | Stake amount used for this order. *Added in 2023.7.* |
| `stake_amount_filled` | float | Filled Stake amount used for this order. *Added in 2024.11.* |
| `order_date` | datetime | Order creation date **use `order_date_utc` instead** |
| `order_date_utc` | datetime | Order creation date (in UTC) |
| `order_fill_date` | datetime |  Order fill date **use `order_fill_utc` instead** |
| `order_fill_date_utc` | datetime | Order fill date |
