InformativeSample Strat about freqtrade-strategies HOT 5 CLOSED

the only place this may come from is the below - but that's been changed a while ago so make sure to use the latest version of freqtrade (2020.01 or later) and update this repository (git pull).

Now i would not encourage you to run this strategy - it's VERY basic and is just there to prove the point - not necessarily to be used to make gains.

:) yes, just to understand the informative pair topic which I like to implement in one of my strategies

from freqtrade-strategies.

Another quick question:

this part of the strategy file I need to change?

    def informative_pairs(self):
        """
        Define additional, informative pair/interval combinations to be cached from the exchange.
        These pair/interval combinations are non-tradeable, unless they are part
        of the whitelist as well.
        For more information, please consult the documentation
        :return: List of tuples in the format (pair, interval)
            Sample: return [("ETH/USDT", "5m"),
                            ("BTC/USDT", "15m"),
                            ]
        """
        return [(f"{self.config['stake_currency']}/USDT", self.ticker_interval)]

to for example:

return [("ETH/USDT", "5m")]

from freqtrade-strategies.

well you can, then it'll use 5m tickers for that "informative" pair.

the example (return [(f"{self.config['stake_currency']}/USDT", self.ticker_interval)]) uses the same interval the strategy uses.

That means for backtesting for example - you can run freqtrade backtesting --strategy InformativeSample -i 1h - and it'll automatically use the 1h ticker of "BTC/USDT".

In your case, it would always use 5m for the informative pair. That means when combining the tickers, you need to be careful so the data is actually matching.

mmmh okay, my intention / idea was the following -> using BTC/USDT long time frame (e.g. 1d) as informative pair to get an idea in what direction the market is going (BTC as pull) - for example via EMA50 based on 1d BTC/USDT informative pair. This information I like to use as guard for my 15m strategy which is using 15m data for triggers & guards. With this strategy I like to trade Altcoins.

Is the InformativePair approach viable for this concept? Or better using re-sampling?

And how would I need to adapt the your strategy template? my stake currency is USDT, I like to have as informative pair BTC/USDT and want to trade lets say XRP/USDT
