   - exits are never "below the candle", so a ROI of 2% may result in a exit at 2.4% if low was at 2.4% profit
+  - ROI entries which came into effect on the triggering candle (e.g. `120: 0.02` for 1h candles, from `60: 0.05`) will use the candle's open as exit rate
   - Force-exits caused by `<N>=-1` ROI entries use low as exit value, unless N falls on the candle open (e.g. `120: -1` for 1h candles)
 - Stoploss exits happen exactly at stoploss price, even if low was lower, but the loss will be `2 * fees` higher than the stoploss price
 - Stoploss is evaluated before ROI within one candle. So you can often see more trades with the `stoploss` exit reason comparing to the results obtained with the same strategy in the Dry Run/Live Trade modes

 You need to set the standard dictionary in the config so that FreqAI can return proper dataframe shapes. These values will likely be overridden by the prediction model, but in the case where the model has yet to set them, or needs a default initial value, the pre-set values are what will be returned.
 
-## Feature normalization
-
-FreqAI is strict when it comes to data normalization. The train features, $X^{train}$, are always normalized to [-1, 1] using a shifted min-max normalization:
-
-$$X^{train}_{norm} = 2 * \frac{X^{train} - X^{train}.min()}{X^{train}.max() - X^{train}.min()} - 1$$
-
-All other data (test data and unseen prediction data in dry/live/backtest) is always automatically normalized to the training feature space according to industry standards. FreqAI stores all the metadata required to ensure that test and prediction features will be properly normalized and that predictions are properly denormalized. For this reason, it is not recommended to eschew industry standards and modify FreqAI internals - however - advanced users can do so by inheriting `train()` in their custom `IFreqaiModel` and using their own normalization functions.
-
-## Data dimensionality reduction with Principal Component Analysis
-
-You can reduce the dimensionality of your features by activating the `principal_component_analysis` in the config:
-
-```json
-    "freqai": {
-        "feature_parameters" : {
-            "principal_component_analysis": true
-        }
-    }
-```
-
-This will perform PCA on the features and reduce their dimensionality so that the explained variance of the data set is >= 0.999. Reducing data dimensionality makes training the model faster and hence allows for more up-to-date models. 
-
-## Inlier metric
-
-The `inlier_metric` is a metric aimed at quantifying how similar the features of a data point are to the most recent historical data points. 
-
-You define the lookback window by setting `inlier_metric_window` and FreqAI computes the distance between the present time point and each of the previous `inlier_metric_window` lookback points. A Weibull function is fit to each of the lookback distributions and its cumulative distribution function (CDF) is used to produce a quantile for each lookback point. The `inlier_metric` is then computed for each time point as the average of the corresponding lookback quantiles. The figure below explains the concept for an `inlier_metric_window` of 5.
-
-![inlier-metric](assets/freqai_inlier-metric.jpg)

+## Building the data pipeline
+
+By default, FreqAI builds a dynamic pipeline based on user congfiguration settings. The default settings are robust and designed to work with a variety of methods. These two steps are a `MinMaxScaler(-1,1)` and a `VarianceThreshold` which removes any column that has 0 variance. Users can activate other steps with more configuration parameters. For example if users add `use_SVM_to_remove_outliers: true` to the `freqai` config, then FreqAI will automatically add the [`SVMOutlierExtractor`](#identifying-outliers-using-a-support-vector-machine-svm) to the pipeline. Likewise, users can add `principal_component_analysis: true` to the `freqai` config to activate PCA. The [DissimilarityIndex](#identifying-outliers-with-the-dissimilarity-index-di) is activated with `DI_threshold: 1`. Finally, noise can also be added to the data with `noise_standard_deviation: 0.1`. Finally, users can add [DBSCAN](#identifying-outliers-with-dbscan) outlier removal with `use_DBSCAN_to_remove_outliers: true`.

+
+
+### Customizing the pipeline
+
+Users are encouraged to customize the data pipeline to their needs by building their own data pipeline. This can be done by simply setting `dk.feature_pipeline` to their desired `Pipeline` object inside their `IFreqaiModel` `train()` function, or if they prefer not to touch the `train()` function, they can override `define_data_pipeline`/`define_label_pipeline` functions in their `IFreqaiModel`:
+
+!!! note "More information available"
+    FreqAI uses the the [`DataSieve`](https://github.com/emergentmethods/datasieve) pipeline, which follows the SKlearn pipeline API, but adds, among other features, coherence between the X, y, and sample_weight vector point removals, feature removal, feature name following. 
+

+
+Here, you are defining the exact pipeline that will be used for your feature set during training and prediction. You can use *most* SKLearn transformation steps by wrapping them in the `SKLearnWrapper` class as shown above. In addition, you can use any of the transformations available in the [`DataSieve` library](https://github.com/emergentmethods/datasieve). 
+
+You can easily add your own transformation by creating a class that inherits from the datasieve `BaseTransform` and implementing your `fit()`, `transform()` and `inverse_transform()` methods:
+
+```python
+from datasieve.transforms.base_transform import BaseTransform
+# import whatever else you need
+
+class MyCoolTransform(BaseTransform):
+    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
+        self.param1 = kwargs.get('param1', 1)
+
+    def fit(self, X, y=None, sample_weight=None, feature_list=None, **kwargs):
+        # do something with X, y, sample_weight, or/and feature_list
+        return X, y, sample_weight, feature_list
+
+    def transform(self, X, y=None, sample_weight=None,
+                  feature_list=None, outlier_check=False, **kwargs):
+        # do something with X, y, sample_weight, or/and feature_list
+        return X, y, sample_weight, feature_list

+        # do/dont do something with X, y, sample_weight, or/and feature_list
+        return X, y, sample_weight, feature_list
+```
+
+!!! note "Hint"
+    You can define this custom class in the same file as your `IFreqaiModel`.

+### Migrating a custom `IFreqaiModel` to the new Pipeline
+
+If you have created your own custom `IFreqaiModel` with a custom `train()`/`predict()` function, *and* you still rely on `data_cleaning_train/predict()`, then you will need to migrate to the new pipeline. If your model does *not* rely on `data_cleaning_train/predict()`, then you do not need to worry about this migration.

 ## Outlier detection

 Given a number of data points $N$, and a distance $\varepsilon$, DBSCAN clusters the data set by setting all data points that have $N-1$ other data points within a distance of $\varepsilon$ as *core points*. A data point that is within a distance of $\varepsilon$ from a *core point* but that does not have $N-1$ other data points within a distance of $\varepsilon$ from itself is considered an *edge point*. A cluster is then the collection of *core points* and *edge points*. Data points that have no other data points at a distance $<\varepsilon$ are considered outliers.

+    The best reward functions are ones that are continuously differentiable, and well scaled. In other words, adding a single large negative penalty to a rare event is not a good idea, and the neural net will not be able to learn that function. Instead, it is better to add a small negative penalty to a common event. This will help the agent learn faster. Not only this, but you can help improve the continuity of your rewards/penalties by having them scale with severity according to some linear/exponential functions. In other words, you'd slowly scale the penalty as the duration of the trade increases. This is better than a single large penalty occuring at a single point in time.

+## Custom logging
 
 FreqAI also provides a built in episodic summary logger called `self.tensorboard_log` for adding custom information to the Tensorboard log. By default, this function is already called once per step inside the environment to record the agent actions. All values accumulated for all steps in a single episode are reported at the conclusion of each episode, followed by a full reset of all metrics to 0 in preparation for the subsequent episode.
 
-
 `self.tensorboard_log` can also be used anywhere inside the environment, for example, it can be added to the `calculate_reward` function to collect more detailed information about how often various parts of the reward were called:
 
-```py
-        class MyRLEnv(Base5ActionRLEnv):

 ```
 
 !!! Note
     The `self.tensorboard_log()` function is designed for tracking incremented objects only i.e. events, actions inside the training environment. If the event of interest is a float, the float can be passed as the second argument e.g. `self.tensorboard_log("float_metric1", 0.23)`. In this case the metric values are not incremented.
 
-### Choosing a base environment
+## Choosing a base environment
 
 FreqAI provides three base environments, `Base3ActionRLEnvironment`, `Base4ActionEnvironment` and `Base5ActionEnvironment`. As the names imply, the environments are customized for agents that can select from 3, 4 or 5 actions. The `Base3ActionEnvironment` is the simplest, the agent can select from hold, long, or short. This environment can also be used for long-only bots (it automatically follows the `can_short` flag from the strategy), where long is the enter condition and short is the exit condition. Meanwhile, in the `Base4ActionEnvironment`, the agent can enter long, enter short, hold neutral, or exit position. Finally, in the `Base5ActionEnvironment`, the agent has the same actions as Base4, but instead of a single exit action, it separates exit long and exit short. The main changes stemming from the environment selection include:

+# Lookahead analysis
+
+This page explains how to validate your strategy in terms of look ahead bias.
+
+Checking look ahead bias is the bane of any strategy since it is sometimes very easy to introduce backtest bias -
+but very hard to detect.
+
+Backtesting initializes all timestamps at once and calculates all indicators in the beginning.
+This means that if your indicators or entry/exit signals could look into future candles and falsify your backtest.
+
+Lookahead-analysis requires historic data to be available.
+To learn how to get data for the pairs and exchange you're interested in,
+head over to the [Data Downloading](data-download.md) section of the documentation.
+
+This command is built upon backtesting since it internally chains backtests and pokes at the strategy to provoke it to show look ahead bias.
+This is done by not looking at the strategy itself - but at the results it returned.
+The results are things like changed indicator-values and moved entries/exits compared to the full backtest.
+
+You can use commands of [Backtesting](backtesting.md).
+It also supports the lookahead-analysis of freqai strategies.

+
+### Summary
+
+Checks a given strategy for look ahead bias via lookahead-analysis
+Look ahead bias means that the backtest uses data from future candles thereby not making it viable beyond backtesting
+and producing false hopes for the one backtesting.
+
+### Introduction
+
+Many strategies - without the programmer knowing - have fallen prey to look ahead bias.
+
+Any backtest will populate the full dataframe including all time stamps at the beginning.
+If the programmer is not careful or oblivious how things work internally
+(which sometimes can be really hard to find out) then it will just look into the future making the strategy amazing
+but not realistic.
+
+This command is made to try to verify the validity in the form of the aforementioned look ahead bias.
+
+### How does the command work?
+
+It will start with a backtest of all pairs to generate a baseline for indicators and entries/exits.
+After the backtest ran, it will look if the `minimum-trade-amount` is met
+and if not cancel the lookahead-analysis for this strategy.
+
+After setting the baseline it will then do additional runs for every entry and exit separately.
+When a verification-backtest is done, it will compare the indicators as the signal (either entry or exit) and report the bias.
+After all signals have been verified or falsified a result-table will be generated for the user to see.
+
+### Caveats
+
+- `lookahead-analysis` can only verify / falsify the trades it calculated and verified.
+If the strategy has many different signals / signal types, it's up to you to select appropriate parameters to ensure that all signals have triggered at least once. Not triggered signals will not have been verified.
+This could lead to a false-negative (the strategy will then be reported as non-biased).
+- `lookahead-analysis` has access to everything that backtesting has too.
+Please don't provoke any configs like enabling position stacking.
+If you decide to do so, then make doubly sure that you won't ever run out of `max_open_trades` amount and neither leftover money in your wallet.

+### FreqAI - New data Pipeline
+
+If you have created your own custom `IFreqaiModel` with a custom `train()`/`predict()` function, *and* you still rely on `data_cleaning_train/predict()`, then you will need to migrate to the new pipeline. If your model does *not* rely on `data_cleaning_train/predict()`, then you do not need to worry about this migration. That means that this migration guide is relevant for a very small percentage of power-users. If you stumbled upon this guide by mistake, feel free to inquire in depth about your problem in the Freqtrade discord server.

 The relative profit of `1.2%` is the average profit per trade.
 The relative profit of `15.2 Σ%` is be based on the starting capital - so in this case, the starting capital was `0.00485701 * 1.152 = 0.00738 BTC`.
 Starting capital is either taken from the `available_capital` setting, or calculated by using current wallet size - profits.
 Profit Factor is calculated as gross profits / gross losses - and should serve as an overall metric for the strategy.
+Expectancy corresponds to the average return per currency unit at risk, i.e. the winrate and the risk-reward ratio (the average gain of winning trades compared to the average loss of losing trades).
+Expectancy Ratio is expected profit or loss of a subsequent trade based on the performance of all past trades.
 Max drawdown corresponds to the backtesting metric `Absolute Drawdown (Account)` - calculated as `(Absolute Drawdown) / (DrawdownHigh + startingBalance)`.
 Bot started date will refer to the date the bot was first started. For older bots, this will default to the first trade's open date.
