+
+!!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
+    Hyperliquid supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses `stop-loss-limit` orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it.
+
+Hyperliquid is a Decentralized Exchange (DEX). Decentralized exchanges work a bit different compared to normal exchanges. Instead of authenticating private API calls using an API key, private API calls need to be signed with the private key of your wallet (We recommend using an api Wallet for this, generated either on Hyperliquid or in your wallet of choice).
+This needs to be configured like this:
+
+```json
+"exchange": {
+    "name": "hyperliquid",
+    "walletAddress": "your_eth_wallet_address",
+    "privateKey": "your_api_private_key",
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+* walletAddress in hex format: `0x<40 hex characters>` - Can be easily copied from your wallet - and should be your wallet address, not your API Wallet Address.
+* privateKey in hex format: `0x<64 hex characters>` - Use the key the API Wallet shows on creation.
+
+Hyperliquid handles deposits and withdrawals on the Arbitrum One chain, a Layer 2 scaling solution built on top of Ethereum. Hyperliquid uses USDC as quote / collateral. The process of depositing USDC on Hyperliquid requires a couple of steps, see [how to start trading](https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/onboarding/how-to-start-trading) for details on what steps are needed.
+
+!!! Note "Hyperliquid general usage Notes"
+    Hyperliquid does not support market orders, however ccxt will simulate market orders by placing limit orders with a maximum slippage of 5%.  
+    Unfortunately, hyperliquid only offers 5000 historic candles, so backtesting will either need to build candles historically (by waiting and downloading the data incrementally over time) - or will be limited to the last 5000 candles.
+
+!!! Info "Some general best practices (non exhaustive)"
+    * Beware of supply chain attacks, like pip package poisoning etcetera. Whenever you use your private key, make sure your environment is safe.
+    * Don't use your actual wallet private key for trading. Use the Hyperliquid [API generator](https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/API) to create a separate API wallet.
+    * Don't store your actual wallet private key on the server you use for freqtrade. Use the API wallet private key instead. This key won't allow withdrawals, only trading.
+    * Always keep your mnemonic phrase and private key private.
+    * Don't use the same mnemonic as the one you had to backup when initializing a hardware wallet, using the same mnemonic basically deletes the security of your hardware wallet.
+    * Create a different software wallet, only transfer the funds you want to trade with to that wallet, and use that wallet to trade on Hyperliquid.
+    * If you have funds you don't want to use for trading (after making a profit for example), transfer them back to your hardware wallet.

 ## Validate backtesting results
 
 Once the optimized strategy has been implemented into your strategy, you should backtest this strategy to make sure everything is working as expected.

 ### Why do my backtest results not match my hyperopt results?
+
 Should results not match, check the following factors:
 
 * You may have added parameters to hyperopt in `populate_indicators()` where they will be calculated only once **for all epochs**. If you are, for example, trying to optimise multiple SMA timeperiod values, the hyperoptable timeperiod parameter should be placed in `populate_entry_trend()` which is calculated every epoch. See [Optimizing an indicator parameter](https://www.freqtrade.io/en/stable/hyperopt/#optimizing-an-indicator-parameter).

+# Freqtrade Strategies 101: A Quick Start for Strategy Development
+
+For the purposes of this quick start, we are assuming you are familiar with the basics of trading, and have read the 
+[Freqtrade basics](bot-basics.md) page.
+
+## Required Knowledge
+
+A strategy in Freqtrade is a Python class that defines the logic for buying and selling cryptocurrency `assets`.
+
+Assets are defined as `pairs`, which represent the `coin` and the `stake`. The coin is the asset you are trading using another currency as the stake.
+
+Data is supplied by the exchange in the form of `candles`, which are made up of a six values: `date`, `open`, `high`, `low`, `close` and `volume`.
+
+`Technical analysis` functions analyse the candle data using various computational and statistical formulae, and produce secondary values called `indicators`.
+
+Indicators are analysed on the asset pair candles to generate `signals`.
+
+Signals are turned into `orders` on a cryptocurrency `exchange`, i.e. `trades`.
+
+We use the terms `entry` and `exit` instead of `buying` and `selling` because Freqtrade supports both `long` and `short` trades.
+
+- **long**: You buy the coin based on a stake, e.g. buying the coin BTC using USDT as your stake, and you make a profit by selling the coin at a higher rate than you paid for. In long trades, profits are made by the coin value going up versus the stake.
+- **short**: You borrow capital from the exchange in the form of the coin, and you pay back the stake value of the coin later. In short trades profits are made by the coin value going down versus the stake (you pay the loan off at a lower rate).
+
+Whilst Freqtrade supports spot and futures markets for certain exchanges, for simplicity we will focus on spot (long) trades only.
+
+## Structure of a Basic Strategy
+
+### Main dataframe
+
+Freqtrade strategies use a tabular data structure with rows and columns known as a `dataframe` to generate signals to enter and exit trades.
+
+Each pair in your configured pairlist has its own dataframe. Dataframes are indexed by the `date` column, e.g. `2024-06-31 12:00`.
+
+The next 5 columns represent the `open`, `high`, `low`, `close` and `volume` (OHLCV) data.
+
+### Populate indicator values
+
+The `populate_indicators` function adds columns to the dataframe that represent the technical analysis indicator values.
+
+Examples of common indicators include Relative Strength Index, Bollinger Bands, Money Flow Index, Moving Average, and Average True Range.
+
+Columns are added to the dataframe by calling technical analysis functions, e.g. ta-lib's RSI function `ta.RSI()`, and assigning them to a column name, e.g. `rsi`
+
+```python
+dataframe['rsi'] = ta.RSI(dataframe)
+```
+
+??? Hint "Technical Analysis libraries"
+    Different libraries work in different ways to generate indicator values. Please check the documentation of each library to understand
+    how to integrate it into your strategy. You can also check the [Freqtrade example strategies](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade-strategies) to give you ideas.
+
+### Populate entry signals
+
+The `populate_entry_trend` function defines conditions for an entry signal.
+
+The dataframe column `enter_long` is added to the dataframe, and when a value of `1` is in this column, Freqtrade sees an entry signal.
+
+??? Hint "Shorting"
+    To enter short trades, use the `enter_short` column.
+
+### Populate exit signals
+
+The `populate_exit_trend` function defines conditions for an exit signal.
+
+The dataframe column `exit_long` is added to the dataframe, and when a value of `1` is in this column, Freqtrade sees an exit signal.
+
+??? Hint "Shorting"
+    To exit short trades, use the `exit_short` column.
+
+## A simple strategy
+
+Here is a minimal example of a Freqtrade strategy:
+
+```python
+from freqtrade.strategy import IStrategy
+from pandas import DataFrame
+import talib.abstract as ta
+
+class MyStrategy(IStrategy):
+
+    # set the initial stoploss to -10%
+    stoploss = -0.10
+
+    # exit profitable positions at any time when the profit is greater than 1%
+    minimal_roi = {"0": 0.01}
+
+    def populate_indicators(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+        # generate values for technical analysis indicators
+        dataframe['rsi'] = ta.RSI(dataframe, timeperiod=14)
+
+        return dataframe
+
+    def populate_entry_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:
+        # generate entry signals based on indicator values
+        dataframe.loc[
+            (dataframe['rsi'] < 30),
+            'enter_long'] = 1
+
+        return dataframe
+
+    def populate_exit_trend(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: dict) -> DataFrame:

+
+## Making trades
+
+When a signal is found (a `1` in an entry or exit column), Freqtrade will attempt to make an order, i.e. a `trade` or `position`.
+
+Each new trade position takes up a `slot`. Slots represent the maximum number of concurrent new trades that can be opened.
+
+The number of slots is defined by the `max_open_trades` [configuration](configuration.md) option.
+
+However, there can be a range of scenarios where generating a signal does not always create a trade order. These include:
+
+- not enough remaining stake to buy an asset, or funds in your wallet to sell an asset (including any fees)
+- not enough remaining free slots for a new trade to be opened (the number of positions you have open equals the `max_open_trades` option)
+- there is already an open trade for a pair (Freqtrade cannot stack positions - however it can [adjust existing positions](strategy-callbacks.md#adjust-trade-position))
+- if an entry and exit signal is present on the same candle, they are considered as [colliding](strategy-customization.md#colliding-signals), and no order will be raised
+- the strategy actively rejects the trade order due to logic you specify by using one of the relevant [entry](strategy-callbacks.md#trade-entry-buy-order-confirmation) or [exit](strategy-callbacks.md#trade-exit-sell-order-confirmation) callbacks
+
+Read through the [strategy customization](strategy-customization.md) documentation for more details.
+
+## Backtesting and forward testing
+
+Strategy development can be a long and frustrating process, as turning our human "gut instincts" into a working computer-controlled
+("algo") strategy is not always straightforward.
+
+Therefore a strategy should be tested to verify that it is going to work as intended.
+
+Freqtrade has two testing modes:
+
+- **backtesting**: using historical data that you [download from an exchange](data-download.md), backtesting is a quick way to assess performance of a strategy. However, it can be very easy to distort results so a strategy will look a lot more profitable than it really is. Check the [backtesting documentation](backtesting.md) for more information.
+- **dry run**: often referred to as _forward testing_, dry runs use real time data from the exchange. However, any signals that would result in trades are tracked as normal by Freqtrade, but do not have any trades opened on the exchange itself. Forward testing runs in real time, so whilst it takes longer to get results it is a much more reliable indicator of **potential** performance than backtesting.
+
+Dry runs are enabled by setting `dry_run` to true in your [configuration](configuration.md#using-dry-run-mode).
+
+!!! Warning "Backtests can be very inaccurate"
+    There are many reasons why backtest results may not match reality. Please check the [backtesting assumptions](backtesting.md#assumptions-made-by-backtesting) and [common strategy mistakes](strategy-customization.md#common-mistakes-when-developing-strategies) documentation.
+    Some websites that list and rank Freqtrade strategies show impressive backtest results. Do not assume these results are achieveable or realistic.
+
+??? Hint "Useful commands"
+    Freqtrade includes two useful commands to check for basic flaws in strategies: [lookahead-analysis](lookahead-analysis.md) and [recursive-analysis](recursive-analysis.md).
+
+### Assessing backtesting and dry run results
+
+Always dry run your strategy after backtesting it to see if backtesting and dry run results are sufficiently similar.
+
+If there is any significant difference, verify that your entry and exit signals are consistent and appear on the same candles between the two modes. However, there will always be differences between dry runs and backtests:
+
+- Backtesting assumes all orders fill. In dry runs this might not be the case if using limit orders or there is no volume on the exchange.
+- Following an entry signal on candle close, backtesting assumes trades enter at the next candle's open price (unless you have custom pricing callbacks in your strategy). In dry runs, there is often a delay between signals and trades opening.
+  This is because when new candles come in on your main timeframe, e.g. every 5 minutes, it takes time for Freqtrade to analyse all pair dataframes. Therefore, Freqtrade will attempt to open trades a few seconds (ideally a small a delay as possible)
+  after candle open.
+- As entry rates in dry runs might not match backtesting, this means profit calculations will also differ. Therefore, it is normal if ROI, stoploss, trailing stoploss and callback exits are not identical.
+- The more computational "lag" you have between new candles coming in and your signals being raised and trades being opened will result in greater price unpredictability. Make sure your computer is powerful enough to process the data for the number 
+  of pairs you have in your pairlist within a reasonable time. Freqtrade will warn you in the logs if there are significant data processing delays.
+
+## Controlling or monitoring a running bot
+
+Once your bot is running in dry or live mode, Freqtrade has five mechanisms to control or monitor a running bot:
+
+- **[FreqUI](freq-ui.md)**: The easiest to get started with, FreqUI is a web interface to see and control current activity of your bot.
+- **[Telegram](telegram-usage.md)**: On mobile devices, Telegram integration is available to get alerts about your bot activity and to control certain aspects.
+- **[FTUI](https://github.com/freqtrade/ftui)**: FTUI is a terminal (command line) interface to Freqtrade, and allows monitoring of a running bot only.
+- **[REST API](rest-api.md)**: The REST API allows programmers to develop their own tools to interact with a Freqtrade bot.
+- **[Webhooks](webhook-config.md)**: Freqtrade can send information to other services, e.g. discord, by webhooks.
+
+### Logs
+
+Freqtrade generates extensive debugging logs to help you understand what's happening. Please familiarise yourself with the information and error messages you might see in your bot logs.
+
+## Final Thoughts
+
+Algo trading is difficult, and most public strategies are not good performers due to the time and effort to make a strategy work profitably in multiple scenarios.
+
+Therefore, taking public strategies and using backtests as a way to assess performance is often problematic. However, Freqtrade provides useful ways to help you make decisions and do your due diligence.
+
+There are many different ways to achieve profitability, and there is no one single tip, trick or config option that will fix a poorly performing strategy.
+
+Freqtrade is an open source platform with a large and helpful community - make sure to visit our [discord channel](https://discord.gg/p7nuUNVfP7) to discuss your strategy with others!
+
+As always, only invest what you are willing to lose.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Developing a strategy in Freqtrade involves defining entry and exit signals based on technical indicators. By following the structure and methods outlined above, you can create and test your own trading strategies.
+
+Common questions and answers are available on our [FAQ](faq.md).
+
+To continue, refer to the more in-depth [Freqtrade strategy customization documentation](strategy-customization.md).

 Also, several other strategies are available in the [strategy repository](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade-strategies).
 
 You will however most likely have your own idea for a strategy.
-This document intends to help you convert your strategy idea into your own strategy.
 
-To get started, use `freqtrade new-strategy --strategy AwesomeStrategy` (you can obviously use your own naming for your strategy).

+
+### Generating a strategy template
+
+To get started, you can use the command:
+
+```bash
+freqtrade new-strategy --strategy AwesomeStrategy
+```
+
+This will create a new strategy called `AwesomeStrategy` from a template, which will be located using the filename `user_data/strategies/AwesomeStrategy.py`.
 
 !!! Note
-    This is just a template file, which will most likely not be profitable out of the box.
+    There is a difference between the *name* of the strategy and the filename. In most commands, Freqtrade uses the *name* of the strategy, *not the filename*.

+You can test it with the parameter: `--strategy SampleStrategy`. Remember that you use the strategy class name, not the filename.
 
 Additionally, there is an attribute called `INTERFACE_VERSION`, which defines the version of the strategy interface the bot should use.
 The current version is 3 - which is also the default when it's not set explicitly in the strategy.
 
-Future versions will require this to be set.
+You may see older strategies set to interface version 2, and these will need to be updated to v3 terminology as future versions will require this to be set.
+
+Starting the bot in dry or live mode is accomplished using the `trade` command:
 
 ```bash
 freqtrade trade --strategy AwesomeStrategy
 ```
 
+### Bot modes
+
+Freqtrade strategies can be processed by the Freqtrade bot in 5 main modes:

+- backtesting
+- hyperopting
+- dry ("forward testing")
+- live
+- FreqAI (not covered here)
+
+Check the [configuration documentation](configuration.md) about how to set the bot to dry or live mode.

+??? Hint "Signals vs Trades"
+    - Signals are generated from indicators at candle close, and are intentions to enter a trade.
+    - Trades are orders that are executed (on the exchange in live mode) where a trade will then open as close to next candle open as possible.
+
+!!! Warning "Trade order assumptions"
+    In backtesting, signals are generated on candle close. Trades are then initiated immeditely on next candle open.
+    
+    In dry and live, this may be delayed due to all pair dataframes needing to be analysed first, then trade processing

+### Looking into the future while backtesting
 
-Backtesting analyzes the whole time-range at once for performance reasons. Because of this, strategy authors need to make sure that strategies do not look-ahead into the future.

+This is a common pain-point, which can cause huge differences between backtesting and dry/live run methods. Strategies that look into the future will perform well during backtesting, often with incredible profits or winrates, but will fail or perform badly in real conditions.
+
+The following list contains some common patterns which should be avoided to prevent frustration:
 
 - don't use `shift(-1)` or other negative values. This uses data from the future in backtesting, which is not available in dry or live modes.
 - don't use `.iloc[-1]` or any other absolute position in the dataframe within `populate_` functions, as this will be different between dry-run and backtesting. Absolute `iloc` indexing is safe to use in callbacks however - see [Strategy Callbacks](strategy-callbacks.md).
-- don't use `dataframe['volume'].mean()`. This uses the full DataFrame for backtesting, including data from the future. Use `dataframe['volume'].rolling(<window>).mean()` instead
-- don't use `.resample('1h')`. This uses the left border of the interval, so moves data from an hour to the start of the hour. Use `.resample('1h', label='right')` instead.
+- don't use functions that use all dataframe or column values, e.g. `dataframe['mean_volume'] = dataframe['volume'].mean()`. As backtesting uses the full dataframe, at any point in the dataframe, the `'mean_volume'` series would include data from the future. Use rolling() calculations instead, e.g. `dataframe['volume'].rolling(<window>).mean()`.
+- don't use `.resample('1h')`. This uses the left border of the period interval, so moves data from an hour boundary to the start of the hour. Use `.resample('1h', label='right')` instead.
 
 !!! Tip "Identifying problems"
-    You may also want to check the 2 helper commands [lookahead-analysis](lookahead-analysis.md) and [recursive-analysis](recursive-analysis.md), which can each help you figure out problems with your strategy in different ways.
-    Please treat them as what they are - helpers to identify most common problems. A negative result of each does not guarantee that there's none of the above errors included.

-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.

+Use the `list-hyperoptloss` subcommand to see all hyperopt loss functions available.
+
+It provides a quick list of all available loss functions in your environment.
+
+This subcommand can be useful for finding problems in your environment with loading loss functions: modules with Hyperopt-Loss functions that contain errors and failed to load are printed in red (LOAD FAILED), while hyperopt-Loss functions with duplicate names are printed in yellow (DUPLICATE NAME).
