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.

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/<strategyclassname>.py.

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`.

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]

                              [--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.

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 ...]]

  -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.

                        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]

                               [--no-header]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --best                Select only best epochs.

  --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
