How to dry-run a crypto bot and control it from Telegram with Freqtrade

Run the bot without real money and check status, profit and exits from your phone.

Short answer: Set your config to Dry-run, which runs the bot without paying money; then start the bot with the trade command; connect Telegram and use /status, /profit and /daily to watch it. All steps.

  • 1 hour
  • From the README
  • Any agent

Credentials. When you add exchange API keys, give them trade permission only, never withdrawal, and keep them out of shared configs.

Who it is forSomeone who wants to watch a strategy trade live markets for weeks without risking funds.

The problemA strategy that backtested well can still behave differently in live markets.

The outcomeA bot trading live prices in dry-run, with /status, /profit, /daily and /stopentry from Telegram or the web UI.

What you need first

  • Python 3.12 or newer, pip, git and TA-Lib, or Docker
  • An accurate system clock synced to NTP
  • About 2GB RAM, 1GB disk and 2 vCPU recommended
  • Exchange API keys only when you move past dry-run

Steps

  1. Set your config to Dry-run, which runs the bot without paying money
  2. Start the bot with the trade command
  3. Connect Telegram and use /status, /profit and /daily to watch it
  4. Use /stopentry to stop new trades and /forceexit to close one
  5. Install the built-in web UI with install-ui if you prefer a browser

Prompt for your agent

Run freqtrade/freqtrade in dry-run with <strategy> on <exchange> and <pairs>, connect Telegram, and after <time> send me /profit and /performance output. Confirm dry-run is on before starting.

Caveat. The README says never to engage money before you understand how the bot works and what profit or loss to expect. Not financial advice: paper trade first, and remember you can lose money.
