Search entry and exit parameters on development data
Generate candidate parameters on fixed history and reserve an independent period for validation.
Goal
Goal: Generate candidate parameters on fixed history and reserve an independent period for validation.
Steps
- Confirm
enter/exitparameters and bound the search space. [hyperopt] - Run
freqtrade hyperopt --strategy MyStrategy --spaces enter exit -e 100 --timerange 20220101-20240101. [hyperopt] - Freeze candidate parameters and backtest on a later untouched range. [hyperopt]
How to verify
Development and validation results are separate and the pinned search is reproducible.
Troubleshooting
Install Hyperopt extras if missing; verify spaces and keep validation data untouched.
Permissions
Prerequisites
- Python 3.11+, Freqtrade installed, a pinned strategy, and a local user-data directory.
Permissions
- Use public market data and local history; treat every trading decision as research and never connect a live account.
Limitations
Search is resource-intensive and prone to overfitting; validate the historical optimum on a separate time range.
