About This Project

Freqtrade is a sophisticated algorithmic trading framework designed for cryptocurrency markets that empowers traders to automate their strategies without writing code from scratch. Built with Python, it provides a robust foundation for developing, testing, and deploying trading algorithms across multiple exchanges with real-time execution capabilities.

The platform excels at strategy development and validation through comprehensive backtesting tools that let you test trading logic against historical data before risking real capital. Its modular architecture supports custom indicators, advanced order types, and risk management rules while maintaining a clean separation between strategy logic and execution infrastructure.

The active community contributes pre-built strategies, custom indicators, and ongoing improvements.
