# Utility Subcommands Besides the Live-Trade and Dry-Run run modes, the `backtesting`, `edge` and `hyperopt` optimization subcommands, and the `download-data` subcommand which prepares historical data, the bot contains a number of utility subcommands. They are described in this section. ## Create userdir Creates the directory structure to hold your files for freqtrade. Will also create strategy and hyperopt examples for you to get started. Can be used multiple times - using `--reset` will reset the sample strategy and hyperopt files to their default state. ``` usage: freqtrade create-userdir [-h] [--userdir PATH] [--reset] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH Path to userdata directory. --reset Reset sample files to their original state. ``` !!! Warning Using `--reset` may result in loss of data, since this will overwrite all sample files without asking again. ``` ├── backtest_results ├── data ├── hyperopt_results ├── hyperopts │   ├── sample_hyperopt_advanced.py │   ├── sample_hyperopt_loss.py │   └── sample_hyperopt.py ├── notebooks │   └── strategy_analysis_example.ipynb ├── plot └── strategies └── sample_strategy.py ``` ## Create new config Creates a new configuration file, asking some questions which are important selections for a configuration. ``` usage: freqtrade new-config [-h] [-c PATH] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -c PATH, --config PATH Specify configuration file (default: `config.json`). Multiple --config options may be used. Can be set to `-` to read config from stdin. ``` !!! Warning Only vital questions are asked. Freqtrade offers a lot more configuration possibilities, which are listed in the [Configuration documentation](configuration.md#configuration-parameters) ## Create new strategy Creates a new strategy from a template similar to SampleStrategy. The file will be named inline with your class name, and will not overwrite existing files. Results will be located in `user_data/strategies/.py`. ``` output usage: freqtrade new-strategy [-h] [--userdir PATH] [-s NAME] [--template {full,minimal}] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH Path to userdata directory. -s NAME, --strategy NAME Specify strategy class name which will be used by the bot. --template {full,minimal} Use a template which is either `minimal` or `full` (containing multiple sample indicators). Default: `full`. ``` ### Sample usage of new-strategy ```bash freqtrade new-strategy --strategy AwesomeStrategy ``` With custom user directory ```bash freqtrade new-strategy --userdir ~/.freqtrade/ --strategy AwesomeStrategy ``` ## Create new hyperopt Creates a new hyperopt from a template similar to SampleHyperopt. The file will be named inline with your class name, and will not overwrite existing files. Results will be located in `user_data/hyperopts/.py`. ``` output usage: freqtrade new-hyperopt [-h] [--userdir PATH] [--hyperopt NAME] [--template {full,minimal}] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH Path to userdata directory. --hyperopt NAME Specify hyperopt class name which will be used by the bot. --template {full,minimal} Use a template which is either `minimal` or `full` (containing multiple sample indicators). Default: `full`. ``` ### Sample usage of new-hyperopt ```bash freqtrade new-hyperopt --hyperopt AwesomeHyperopt ``` With custom user directory ```bash freqtrade new-hyperopt --userdir ~/.freqtrade/ --hyperopt AwesomeHyperopt ``` ## List Strategies Use the `list-strategies` subcommand to see all strategies in one particular directory. ``` freqtrade list-strategies --help usage: freqtrade list-strategies [-h] [-v] [--logfile FILE] [-V] [-c PATH] [-d PATH] [--userdir PATH] [--strategy-path PATH] [-1] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --strategy-path PATH Specify additional strategy lookup path. -1, --one-column Print output in one column. Common arguments: -v, --verbose Verbose mode (-vv for more, -vvv to get all messages). --logfile FILE Log to the file specified. Special values are: 'syslog', 'journald'. See the documentation for more details. -V, --version show program's version number and exit -c PATH, --config PATH Specify configuration file (default: `config.json`). Multiple --config options may be used. Can be set to `-` to read config from stdin. -d PATH, --datadir PATH Path to directory with historical backtesting data. --userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH Path to userdata directory. ``` !!! Warning Using this command will try to load all python files from a directory. This can be a security risk if untrusted files reside in this directory, since all module-level code is executed. Example: search default strategy directory within userdir ``` bash freqtrade list-strategies --userdir ~/.freqtrade/ ``` Example: search dedicated strategy path ``` bash freqtrade list-strategies --strategy-path ~/.freqtrade/strategies/ ``` ## List Exchanges Use the `list-exchanges` subcommand to see the exchanges available for the bot. ``` usage: freqtrade list-exchanges [-h] [-1] [-a] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -1, --one-column Print output in one column. -a, --all Print all exchanges known to the ccxt library. ``` * Example: see exchanges available for the bot: ``` $ freqtrade list-exchanges Exchanges available for Freqtrade: _1btcxe, acx, allcoin, bequant, bibox, binance, binanceje, binanceus, bitbank, bitfinex, bitfinex2, bitkk, bitlish, bitmart, bittrex, bitz, bleutrade, btcalpha, btcmarkets, btcturk, buda, cex, cobinhood, coinbaseprime, coinbasepro, coinex, cointiger, coss, crex24, digifinex, dsx, dx, ethfinex, fcoin, fcoinjp, gateio, gdax, gemini, hitbtc2, huobipro, huobiru, idex, kkex, kraken, kucoin, kucoin2, kuna, lbank, mandala, mercado, oceanex, okcoincny, okcoinusd, okex, okex3, poloniex, rightbtc, theocean, tidebit, upbit, zb ``` * Example: see all exchanges supported by the ccxt library (including 'bad' ones, i.e. those that are known to not work with Freqtrade): ``` $ freqtrade list-exchanges -a All exchanges supported by the ccxt library: _1btcxe, acx, adara, allcoin, anxpro, bcex, bequant, bibox, bigone, binance, binanceje, binanceus, bit2c, bitbank, bitbay, bitfinex, bitfinex2, bitflyer, bitforex, bithumb, bitkk, bitlish, bitmart, bitmex, bitso, bitstamp, bitstamp1, bittrex, bitz, bl3p, bleutrade, braziliex, btcalpha, btcbox, btcchina, btcmarkets, btctradeim, btctradeua, btcturk, buda, bxinth, cex, chilebit, cobinhood, coinbase, coinbaseprime, coinbasepro, coincheck, coinegg, coinex, coinexchange, coinfalcon, coinfloor, coingi, coinmarketcap, coinmate, coinone, coinspot, cointiger, coolcoin, coss, crex24, crypton, deribit, digifinex, dsx, dx, ethfinex, exmo, exx, fcoin, fcoinjp, flowbtc, foxbit, fybse, gateio, gdax, gemini, hitbtc, hitbtc2, huobipro, huobiru, ice3x, idex, independentreserve, indodax, itbit, kkex, kraken, kucoin, kucoin2, kuna, lakebtc, latoken, lbank, liquid, livecoin, luno, lykke, mandala, mercado, mixcoins, negociecoins, nova, oceanex, okcoincny, okcoinusd, okex, okex3, paymium, poloniex, rightbtc, southxchange, stronghold, surbitcoin, theocean, therock, tidebit, tidex, upbit, vaultoro, vbtc, virwox, xbtce, yobit, zaif, zb ``` ## List Timeframes Use the `list-timeframes` subcommand to see the list of ticker intervals (timeframes) available for the exchange. ``` usage: freqtrade list-timeframes [-h] [--exchange EXCHANGE] [-1] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --exchange EXCHANGE Exchange name (default: `bittrex`). Only valid if no config is provided. -1, --one-column Print output in one column. ``` * Example: see the timeframes for the 'binance' exchange, set in the configuration file: ``` $ freqtrade -c config_binance.json list-timeframes ... Timeframes available for the exchange `binance`: 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h, 1d, 3d, 1w, 1M ``` * Example: enumerate exchanges available for Freqtrade and print timeframes supported by each of them: ``` $ for i in `freqtrade list-exchanges -1`; do freqtrade list-timeframes --exchange $i; done ``` ## List pairs/list markets The `list-pairs` and `list-markets` subcommands allow to see the pairs/markets available on exchange. Pairs are markets with the '/' character between the base currency part and the quote currency part in the market symbol. For example, in the 'ETH/BTC' pair 'ETH' is the base currency, while 'BTC' is the quote currency. For pairs traded by Freqtrade the pair quote currency is defined by the value of the `stake_currency` configuration setting. You can print info about any pair/market with these subcommands - and you can filter output by quote-currency using `--quote BTC`, or by base-currency using `--base ETH` options correspondingly. These subcommands have same usage and same set of available options: ``` usage: freqtrade list-markets [-h] [--exchange EXCHANGE] [--print-list] [--print-json] [-1] [--print-csv] [--base BASE_CURRENCY [BASE_CURRENCY ...]] [--quote QUOTE_CURRENCY [QUOTE_CURRENCY ...]] [-a] usage: freqtrade list-pairs [-h] [--exchange EXCHANGE] [--print-list] [--print-json] [-1] [--print-csv] [--base BASE_CURRENCY [BASE_CURRENCY ...]] [--quote QUOTE_CURRENCY [QUOTE_CURRENCY ...]] [-a] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --exchange EXCHANGE Exchange name (default: `bittrex`). Only valid if no config is provided. --print-list Print list of pairs or market symbols. By default data is printed in the tabular format. --print-json Print list of pairs or market symbols in JSON format. -1, --one-column Print output in one column. --print-csv Print exchange pair or market data in the csv format. --base BASE_CURRENCY [BASE_CURRENCY ...] Specify base currency(-ies). Space-separated list. --quote QUOTE_CURRENCY [QUOTE_CURRENCY ...] Specify quote currency(-ies). Space-separated list. -a, --all Print all pairs or market symbols. By default only active ones are shown. ``` By default, only active pairs/markets are shown. Active pairs/markets are those that can currently be traded on the exchange. The see the list of all pairs/markets (not only the active ones), use the `-a`/`-all` option. Pairs/markets are sorted by its symbol string in the printed output. ### Examples * Print the list of active pairs with quote currency USD on exchange, specified in the default configuration file (i.e. pairs on the "Bittrex" exchange) in JSON format: ``` $ freqtrade list-pairs --quote USD --print-json ``` * Print the list of all pairs on the exchange, specified in the `config_binance.json` configuration file (i.e. on the "Binance" exchange) with base currencies BTC or ETH and quote currencies USDT or USD, as the human-readable list with summary: ``` $ freqtrade -c config_binance.json list-pairs --all --base BTC ETH --quote USDT USD --print-list ``` * Print all markets on exchange "Kraken", in the tabular format: ``` $ freqtrade list-markets --exchange kraken --all ``` ## Test pairlist Use the `test-pairlist` subcommand to test the configuration of [dynamic pairlists](configuration.md#pairlists). Requires a configuration with specified `pairlists` attribute. Can be used to generate static pairlists to be used during backtesting / hyperopt. ``` usage: freqtrade test-pairlist [-h] [-c PATH] [--quote QUOTE_CURRENCY [QUOTE_CURRENCY ...]] [-1] [--print-json] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -c PATH, --config PATH Specify configuration file (default: `config.json`). Multiple --config options may be used. Can be set to `-` to read config from stdin. --quote QUOTE_CURRENCY [QUOTE_CURRENCY ...] Specify quote currency(-ies). Space-separated list. -1, --one-column Print output in one column. --print-json Print list of pairs or market symbols in JSON format. ``` ### Examples Show whitelist when using a [dynamic pairlist](configuration.md#pairlists). ``` freqtrade test-pairlist --config config.json --quote USDT BTC ``` ## List Hyperopt results You can list the hyperoptimization epochs the Hyperopt module evaluated previously with the `hyperopt-list` subcommand. ``` usage: freqtrade hyperopt-list [-h] [-v] [--logfile FILE] [-V] [-c PATH] [-d PATH] [--userdir PATH] [--best] [--profitable] [--no-color] [--print-json] [--no-details] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --best Select only best epochs. --profitable Select only profitable epochs. --no-color Disable colorization of hyperopt results. May be useful if you are redirecting output to a file. --print-json Print best result detailization in JSON format. --no-details Do not print best epoch details. ``` ### Examples List all results, print details of the best result at the end: ``` freqtrade hyperopt-list ``` List only epochs with positive profit. Do not print the details of the best epoch, so that the list can be iterated in a script: ``` freqtrade hyperopt-list --profitable --no-details ``` ## Show details of Hyperopt results You can show the details of any hyperoptimization epoch previously evaluated by the Hyperopt module with the `hyperopt-show` subcommand. ``` usage: freqtrade hyperopt-show [-h] [-v] [--logfile FILE] [-V] [-c PATH] [-d PATH] [--userdir PATH] [--best] [--profitable] [-n INT] [--print-json] [--no-header] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --best Select only best epochs. --profitable Select only profitable epochs. -n INT, --index INT Specify the index of the epoch to print details for. --print-json Print best result detailization in JSON format. --no-header Do not print epoch details header. ``` ### Examples Print details for the epoch 168 (the number of the epoch is shown by the `hyperopt-list` subcommand or by Hyperopt itself during hyperoptimization run): ``` freqtrade hyperopt-show -n 168 ``` Prints JSON data with details for the last best epoch (i.e., the best of all epochs): ``` freqtrade hyperopt-show --best -n -1 --print-json --no-header ```
