# Freqtrade Experiment

This directory keeps Freqtrade isolated from the main OKX research code. It is for cross-checking one strategy first: `BTC RSI2 Guarded 15m`.

Export cached OKX candles:

```bash
uv run python scripts/export_freqtrade_data.py --symbol BTC-USDT-SWAP --bar 15m
```

Run with a local Freqtrade installation:

```bash
freqtrade backtesting \
  --config freqtrade/config-okx-futures.json \
  --userdir freqtrade/user_data \
  --strategy BtcRsi2Guarded \
  --timeframe 15m \
  --timerange 20230101-
```

The first comparison target is the existing report row:

```text
BTC RSI2 Guarded 15m, 3y return around 102.88% before Freqtrade model differences.
```

Freqtrade's accounting model is not identical to the current research script. Treat this as an execution-framework comparison, not a byte-for-byte backtest replacement.
