⚠️ Disclaimer

• This strategy is under development. It is not recommended running it live at this moment.
• Always test this strategy before using it!
• I am in no way responsible for your live results! This strategy is still experimental and under heavy development!
• MoniGoMani should always be re-optimized after doing manual changes!
• You need to optimize your own copy of MoniGoMani while thinking logically, don't follow your computer blindly!

TIP: Native installation is recommended since MoniGoMani sometimes requires a specific Freqtrade commit. It's also faster/better than a Docker VM, but Docker is easier to install

4. Open a terminal window and navigate to where you put MoniGoMani and type on of the following:
   • docker-compose pull to pull in any updates to the Image if there are any
   • docker-compose up --build to build and start the bot & view its log or
   • docker-compose up -d to build and start the bot in the background.
   • docker-compose stop to stop the bot.
5. When running the included compose file FreqUI is already included and can be accessed from localhost:8080, login is possible using the username and password from step 3.D.

That's it you successfully set up Freqtrade through Docker, connected to Telegram, with FreqUI!
