Conventions used
There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.
Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “We’re using the latest version of the Freqtrade interface, v3. We will use the class name PrivateMACross to call the strategy from the command line.”
A block of code is set as follows:
class PrivateMACross(IStrategy): INTERFACE_VERSION = 3
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
docker-compose run --rm freqtrade backtesting --config user_data/config/config-backtesting-book.json --strategy PrivateMACross --timerange 20210811-20220812 --timeframe 1d -p BTC/BUSD
Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “If we run this strategy on BTCBUSD 4H and go to the Strategy Tester tab, we’d get a -1% net profit.”
