Deploy and Host Freqtrade on Railway

Freqtrade is a free, open-source crypto trading bot written in Python: strategies, backtesting, hyperopt, dry-run paper trading and a web UI (FreqUI).

About Hosting Freqtrade

This template runs the official freqtradeorg/freqtrade:stable image in dry-run (paper trading) mode on Kraken with the bundled sample strategy, so no money and no exchange keys are involved. A volume at /freqtrade/user_data keeps strategies, data and the trade database. Open the public URL to reach FreqUI, add the bot with this same URL, user admin and the generated FREQTRADE__API_SERVER__PASSWORD variable from the service. To trade for real you must change the start command and supply your own config, strategy and exchange keys; do that only after testing.

Common Use Cases

Paper-trade and watch a strategy live before risking money
Run backtests and inspect trades from FreqUI
A starting point for your own always-on trading bot

Dependencies for Freqtrade Hosting
