Common Issues
Common issues with freqtrade docker deployment include look-ahead bias in backtesting, overfitting to historical regimes, inadequate handling of exchange downtime, and insufficient logging for debugging.
Testing Approach
Testing freqtrade docker deployment includes unit tests for signal logic, integration tests for exchange interaction, and backtests against historical data with realistic slippage modeling.
Code Structure
The code structure separates concerns: data ingestion, signal generation, risk checks, and order submission. This modularity enables testing and reuse across strategies.
