# 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 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 config examples
```
$ freqtrade new-config --config config_binance.json
? Do you want to enable Dry-run (simulated trades)? Yes
? Please insert your stake currency: BTC
? Please insert your stake amount: 0.05
? Please insert max_open_trades (Integer or 'unlimited'): 3
? Please insert your desired timeframe (e.g. 5m): 5m
? Please insert your display Currency (for reporting): USD
? Select exchange binance
? Do you want to enable Telegram? No
```
## 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`.
``` output
usage: freqtrade new-strategy [-h] [--userdir PATH] [-s NAME]
[--template {full,minimal,advanced}]
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,advanced}
Use a template which is either `minimal`, `full`
(containing multiple sample indicators) or `advanced`.
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
```
Using the advanced template (populates all optional functions and methods)
```bash
freqtrade new-strategy --strategy AwesomeStrategy --template advanced
```
## 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/<classname>.py`.
``` output
usage: freqtrade new-hyperopt [-h] [--userdir PATH] [--hyperopt NAME]
[--template {full,minimal,advanced}]
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,advanced}
Use a template which is either `minimal`, `full`
(containing multiple sample indicators) or `advanced`.
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 and List Hyperopts
Use the `list-strategies` subcommand to see all strategies in one particular directory and the `list-hyperopts` subcommand to list custom Hyperopts.
These subcommands are useful for finding problems in your environment with loading strategies or hyperopt classes: modules with strategies or hyperopt classes that contain errors and failed to load are printed in red (LOAD FAILED), while strategies or hyperopt classes with duplicate names are printed in yellow (DUPLICATE NAME).
```
usage: freqtrade list-strategies [-h] [-v] [--logfile FILE] [-V] [-c PATH]
[-d PATH] [--userdir PATH]
[--strategy-path PATH] [-1] [--no-color]
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.
--no-color Disable colorization of hyperopt results. May be
useful if you are redirecting output to a file.
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.
```
```
usage: freqtrade list-hyperopts [-h] [-v] [--logfile FILE] [-V] [-c PATH]
[-d PATH] [--userdir PATH]
[--hyperopt-path PATH] [-1] [--no-color]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--hyperopt-path PATH Specify additional lookup path for Hyperopt and
Hyperopt Loss functions.
-1, --one-column Print output in one column.
--no-color Disable colorization of hyperopt results. May be
useful if you are redirecting output to a file.
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 these commands 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 strategies and hyperopts directories (within the default userdir).
``` bash
freqtrade list-strategies
freqtrade list-hyperopts
```
Example: Search strategies and hyperopts directory within the userdir.
``` bash
freqtrade list-strategies --userdir ~/.freqtrade/
freqtrade list-hyperopts --userdir ~/.freqtrade/
```
Example: Search dedicated strategy path.
``` bash
freqtrade list-strategies --strategy-path ~/.freqtrade/strategies/
```
Example: Search dedicated hyperopt path.
``` bash
freqtrade list-hyperopt --hyperopt-path ~/.freqtrade/hyperopts/
```
## List Exchanges
Use the `list-exchanges` subcommand to see the exchanges available for the bot.
```
usage: freqtrade list-exchanges [-h] [-1] [-a]
optional arguments:

...
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] [-v] [--logfile FILE] [-V] [-c PATH]
[-d PATH] [--userdir PATH] [--exchange EXCHANGE]
[--print-list] [--print-json] [-1] [--print-csv]

[-d PATH] [--userdir PATH] [--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.
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.
```
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 list-pairs -c config_binance.json --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:
