Trigger phrases: freqtrade aliases, freqtrade shortcuts, ftdata, ftback, freqtrade commands, freqtrade windows." metadata: {"clawdbot":{"emoji":"⚡","requires":{"bins":["docker","docker-compose"]},"os":["linux","darwin","win32"]}} --- # Freqtrade Tools > ⚠️ **Live Trading Warning:** Before using `ftstart`, `ftstop`, or `ftrestart`, confirm whether Freqtrade is in dry-run or live-trading mode. These commands control real trading services. Verify your config before starting the bot. Shell aliases and helper commands for faster Freqtrade workflows across Linux, macOS, and Windows. ## Installation **Bash/Zsh:** Copy functions from `references/bash-zsh-aliases.md` into `~/.bashrc` (Linux) or `~/.zshrc` (macOS), then `source ~/.bashrc`. **PowerShell:** Copy functions from `references/windows-equivalents.md` into your `$PROFILE` file. ## Core Commands | Command | Purpose | |---------|---------| | `ftdata` | Download market data from Kraken | | `ftback` | Run backtesting on a strategy | | `ftstart` | Start docker-compose services | | `ftstop` | Stop docker-compose services | | `ftrestart` | Restart docker-compose services | | `ftlogs` | Stream live logs from bot | | `ftstatus` | Check service status + tail logs | | `ftlist` | List downloaded data files | | `ftui` | Open bot UI in browser | ## ftdata — Download Data Download market data with automatic date range calculation. **Usage:** ```bash ftdata "BTC/USDT" 90 5m # Download 90 days of 5-min BTC/USDT data ftdata "ETH/USDT" 30 1h # 30 days of 1-hour ETH/USDT ftdata "SOL/USDT" # Use defaults: 30 days, 5-min ftdata "XRP/USDT" 365 5m --erase # Download 1 year, erase old data first ``` **Parameters:** - Pair (required): Trading pair like `BTC/USDT` - Days (optional): Historical days to download (default: 30) - Timeframe (optional): Candle size — `5m`, `1h`, `4h`, `1d` (default: 5m) - --erase (optional): Clear cached data before downloading (use when extending range) **Why --erase?** Kraken enforces data continuity. When extending a download window (e.g., 30→90 days), you must erase existing data first to prevent overlaps. ## ftback — Run Backtest Run backtesting with automatic date calculations and optional pair filter. **Usage:** ```bash ftback "MyStrategy" 60 5m # Test MyStrategy for 60 days ftback "MyStrategy" 90 1h "BTC/USDT" # Test on specific pair ftback # Use defaults: SampleStrategy, 30 days, 5m ``` ## Bot Control Start, stop, restart, and monitor services: ```bash ftstart # Start services ftstop # Stop services ftrestart # Restart services ftlogs # Stream logs (-f flag for follow) ftstatus # Service status + recent logs ftlist # View downloaded data inventory ftui # Open UI (auto-detect browser) ``` ## Safety ### Before Using Bot Control Commands - **Check trading mode:** Confirm `dry_run: true` in your config unless you intend live trading - **ftstart confirmation:** When `dry_run: false`, ask for explicit human confirmation before starting - **ftstop/ftrestart:** Always notify the human before stopping or restarting services ## References - See `references/bash-zsh-aliases.md` for full function implementations - See `references/windows-equivalents.md` for PowerShell and Command Prompt versions
