# Analyzing bot data with Jupyter notebooks
|
|
|
|
You can analyze the results of backtests and trading history easily using Jupyter notebooks. Sample notebooks are located at `user_data/notebooks/`.
|
|
|
|
## Pro tips
|
|
|
|
* See [jupyter.org](https://jupyter.org/documentation) for usage instructions.
|
|
* Don't forget to start a Jupyter notebook server from within your conda or venv environment or use [nb_conda_kernels](https://github.com/Anaconda-Platform/nb_conda_kernels)*
|
|
* Copy the example notebook before use so your changes don't get clobbered with the next freqtrade update.
|
|
|
|
## Fine print
|
|
|
|
Some tasks don't work especially well in notebooks. For example, anything using asynchronous execution is a problem for Jupyter. Also, freqtrade's primary entry point is the shell cli, so using pure python in a notebook bypasses arguments that provide required objects and parameters to helper functions. You may need to set those values or create expected objects manually.
|
|
|
|
## Recommended workflow
|
|
|
|
| Task | Tool |
|
|
--- | ---
|
|
Bot operations | CLI
|
|
Repetitive tasks | Shell scripts
|
|
Data analysis & visualization | Notebook
|
|
|
|
1. Use the CLI to
|
|
* download historical data
|
|
* run a backtest
|
|
* run with real-time data
|
|
* export results
|
|
|
|
1. Collect these actions in shell scripts
|
|
* save complicated commands with arguments
|
|
* execute multi-step operations
|
|
* automate testing strategies and preparing data for analysis
|
|
|
|
1. Use a notebook to
|
|
* visualize data
|
|
* munge and plot to generate insights
|
|
|
|
## Example utility snippets
|
|
|
|
### Change directory to root
|
|
|
|
Jupyter notebooks execute from the notebook directory. The following snippet searches for the project root, so relative paths remain consistent.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import os
|
|
from pathlib import Path
|
|
|
|
# Change directory
|
|
# Modify this cell to insure that the output shows the correct path.
|
|
# Define all paths relative to the project root shown in the cell output
|
|
project_root = "somedir/freqtrade"
|
|
i=0
|
|
try:
|
|
os.chdirdir(project_root)
|
|
assert Path('LICENSE').is_file()
|
|
except:
|
|
while i<4 and (not Path('LICENSE').is_file()):
|
|
os.chdir(Path(Path.cwd(), '../'))
|
|
i+=1
|
|
project_root = Path.cwd()
|
|
print(Path.cwd())
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Load existing objects into a Jupyter notebook
|
|
|
|
These examples assume that you have already generated data using the cli. They will allow you to drill deeper into your results, and perform analysis which otherwise would make the output very difficult to digest due to information overload.
|
|
|
|
### Load backtest results into a pandas dataframe
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from freqtrade.data.btanalysis import load_backtest_data
|
|
|
|
# Load backtest results
|
|
df = load_backtest_data("user_data/backtest_results/backtest-result.json")
|
|
|
|
# Show value-counts per pair
|
|
df.groupby("pair")["sell_reason"].value_counts()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Load live trading results into a pandas dataframe
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
from freqtrade.data.btanalysis import load_trades_from_db
|
|
|
|
# Fetch trades from database
|
|
df = load_trades_from_db("sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite")
|
|
|
|
# Display results
|
|
df.groupby("pair")["sell_reason"].value_counts()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Load multiple configuration files
|
|
|
|
This option can be useful to inspect the results of passing in multiple configs.
|
|
This will also run through the whole Configuration initialization, so the configuration is completely initialized to be passed to other methods.
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
import json
|
|
from freqtrade.configuration import Configuration
|
|
|
|
# Load config from multiple files
|
|
config = Configuration.from_files(["config1.json", "config2.json"])
|
|
|
|
# Show the config in memory
|
|
print(json.dumps(config['original_config'], indent=2))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For Interactive environments, have an additional configuration specifying `user_data_dir` and pass this in last, so you don't have to change directories while running the bot.
|
|
Best avoid relative paths, since this starts at the storage location of the jupyter notebook, unless the directory is changed.
|
|
|
|
``` json
|
|
{
|
|
"user_data_dir": "~/.freqtrade/"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Load exchange data to a pandas dataframe
|
|
|
|
This loads candle data to a dataframe
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from pathlib import Path
|
|
from freqtrade.data.history import load_pair_history
|
|
|
|
# Load data using values passed to function
|
|
ticker_interval = "5m"
|
|
data_location = Path('user_data', 'data', 'bitrex')
|
|
pair = "BTC_USDT"
|
|
candles = load_pair_history(datadir=data_location,
|
|
ticker_interval=ticker_interval,
|
|
pair=pair)
|
|
|
|
# Confirm success
|
|
print(f"Loaded len(candles) rows of data for {pair} from {data_location}")
|
|
candles.head()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Strategy debugging example
|
|
|
|
Debugging a strategy can be time-consuming. FreqTrade offers helper functions to visualize raw data.
|
|
|
|
### Define variables used in analyses
|
|
|
|
You can override strategy settings as demonstrated below.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Customize these according to your needs.
|
|
|
|
# Define some constants
|
|
ticker_interval = "5m"
|
|
# Name of the strategy class
|
|
strategy_name = 'SampleStrategy'
|
|
# Path to user data
|
|
user_data_dir = 'user_data'
|
|
# Location of the strategy
|
|
strategy_location = Path(user_data_dir, 'strategies')
|
|
# Location of the data
|
|
data_location = Path(user_data_dir, 'data', 'binance')
|
|
# Pair to analyze - Only use one pair here
|
|
pair = "BTC_USDT"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Load exchange data
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from pathlib import Path
|
|
from freqtrade.data.history import load_pair_history
|
|
|
|
# Load data using values set above
|
|
candles = load_pair_history(datadir=data_location,
|
|
ticker_interval=ticker_interval,
|
|
pair=pair)
|
|
|
|
# Confirm success
|
|
print(f"Loaded {len(candles)} rows of data for {pair} from {data_location}")
|
|
candles.head()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Load and run strategy
|
|
|
|
* Rerun each time the strategy file is changed
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from freqtrade.resolvers import StrategyResolver
|
|
|
|
# Load strategy using values set above
|
|
strategy = StrategyResolver({'strategy': strategy_name,
|
|
'user_data_dir': user_data_dir,
|
|
'strategy_path': strategy_location}).strategy
|
|
|
|
# Generate buy/sell signals using strategy
|
|
df = strategy.analyze_ticker(candles, {'pair': pair})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Display the trade details
|
|
|
|
* Note that using `data.tail()` is preferable to `data.head()` as most indicators have some "startup" data at the top of the dataframe.
|
|
* Some possible problems
|
|
* Columns with NaN values at the end of the dataframe
|
|
* Columns used in `crossed*()` functions with completely different units
|
|
* Comparison with full backtest
|
|
* having 200 buy signals as output for one pair from `analyze_ticker()` does not necessarily mean that 200 trades will be made during backtesting.
|
|
* Assuming you use only one condition such as, `df['rsi'] < 30` as buy condition, this will generate multiple "buy" signals for each pair in sequence (until rsi returns > 29). The bot will only buy on the first of these signals (and also only if a trade-slot ("max_open_trades") is still available), or on one of the middle signals, as soon as a "slot" becomes available.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Report results
|
|
print(f"Generated {df['buy'].sum()} buy signals")
|
|
data = df.set_index('date', drop=True)
|
|
data.tail()
|
|
```
