Configuration

Freqtrade uses a JSON configuration file to define all bot settings. This guide covers the essential configuration options to get your bot running.

Configuration File​

By default, Freqtrade loads configuration from config.json in the current directory. You can specify a different file using the -c/--config option:

freqtrade trade -c my_config.json

Creating Configuration​

Interactive Setup​

The easiest way to create a configuration is using the interactive setup:

freqtrade new-config --config user_data/config.json

This will ask you questions about:

  • Exchange selection
  • Trading pairs
  • Timeframes
  • Strategy selection
  • Risk management
  • API settings

Manual Configuration​

You can also create the configuration file manually. Here's a basic template:

Environment Variables​

You can override configuration values using environment variables:

# Set stake amount
export FREQTRADE__STAKE_AMOUNT=200

# Set exchange API key
export FREQTRADE__EXCHANGE__KEY=your_api_key

# Set telegram token
export FREQTRADE__TELEGRAM__TOKEN=your_telegram_token

# Set pair whitelist
export FREQTRADE__EXCHANGE__PAIR_WHITELIST='["BTC/USDT", "ETH/USDT"]'

Multiple Configuration Files​

You can split your configuration across multiple files:

{
    "add_config_files": [
        "config-private.json",
        "config-strategy.json"
    ]
}

Configuration Validation​

JSON Schema​

Add schema validation to your configuration:

{
    "$schema": "https://schema.freqtrade.io/schema.json",
    "max_open_trades": 3
}

Validate Configuration​

Check your configuration syntax:

freqtrade show-config

Security Best Practices​

Protect Sensitive Data​

  1. Never commit API keys to version control
  2. Use environment variables for secrets
  3. Separate configuration files for sensitive data
  4. Restrict file permissions on configuration files
# Set restrictive permissions
chmod 600 config.json

Example Secure Setup​

config.json (public):

{
    "max_open_trades": 3,
    "stake_currency": "USDT",
    "add_config_files": ["config-private.json"]
}

config-private.json (private):

{
    "exchange": {
        "key": "your_api_key",
        "secret": "your_api_secret"
    },
    "telegram": {
        "token": "your_telegram_token",
        "chat_id": "your_chat_id"
    }
}

Common Configuration Patterns​

Conservative Setup​

{
    "max_open_trades": 3,
    "stake_amount": 50,
    "stoploss": -0.05,
    "minimal_roi": {
        "0": 0.02
    },
    "timeframe": "1h"
}

Aggressive Setup​

{
    "max_open_trades": 10,
    "stake_amount": 100,
    "stoploss": -0.15,
    "minimal_roi": {
        "0": 0.10
    },
    "timeframe": "5m"
}

Scalping Setup​

{
    "max_open_trades": 20,
    "stake_amount": 25,
    "stoploss": -0.02,
    "minimal_roi": {
        "0": 0.01
    },
    "timeframe": "1m"
}

Troubleshooting​

Common Issues​

Configuration not loading:

  • Check JSON syntax
  • Verify file permissions
  • Check file path

API connection errors:

  • Verify API keys
  • Check exchange status
  • Confirm IP whitelist

Strategy not found:

  • Check strategy path
  • Verify strategy name
  • Ensure strategy file exists

Debugging Commands​

# Show final configuration
freqtrade show-config

# Test exchange connection
freqtrade test-pairlist

# Validate strategy
freqtrade list-strategies

Next Steps​

After configuring your bot:

  1. Strategy Development - Create your trading strategy
  2. Backtesting - Test your configuration
  3. Bot Usage - Learn to operate the bot
  4. Telegram Usage - Set up notifications
