No investment advice

Freqle is a search engine and community index for publicly available freqtrade trading strategies. Nothing on this site constitutes investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset. Content is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Freqle is not a broker, financial advisor, or regulated financial institution, and no fiduciary relationship is created by using this site. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions.

Risk warning

Trading cryptocurrencies and other financial instruments carries a high level of risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment. Automated trading amplifies these risks: bugs, misconfiguration, exchange outages, slippage, and market conditions can produce losses faster than manual trading. Leverage and short positions can result in losses exceeding your initial deposit. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

Past performance

Backtest results, hyperopt scores, ratings, and any other performance indicators shown or referenced on this site are historical or simulated. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Backtests are especially prone to overfitting, look-ahead bias, and unrealistic fee/slippage assumptions; a strategy that performed well in a backtest may lose money in live trading.

Third-party content

All indexed strategies are written by third parties and remain the property of their respective authors, subject to the license terms in their source repositories. Freqle indexes and displays metadata and excerpts of publicly available code from GitHub; it does not review, endorse, verify, or maintain any strategy. Comments and ratings are user-generated opinions, not statements of fact endorsed by Freqle.

Code safety

Indexed strategy code is untrusted third-party code. Review any strategy line by line before running it. Malicious code disguised as a trading strategy can steal exchange API keys and funds. Run new strategies only in dry-run mode first, restrict API keys (no withdrawal permissions), and never run code you do not understand.

Acceptable use

You may use Freqle only lawfully and only for its intended purpose: finding, discussing, testing, and improving freqtrade strategies. You must not:

  • Attack the service — no probing, scanning, or attempting to breach the site, its database, sandbox, or other users' accounts; no bypassing rate limits, access controls, or plan restrictions.
  • Weaponize the code features — no uploading or generating code designed to steal API keys, funds, or data, to mine without consent, or to harm anyone who runs it; no deliberately manipulating backtests, rankings, or trust checks.
  • Abuse the AI features — Strategy Forge and AI search may only be used for freqtrade strategies, Python, and quantitative trading. No attempting prompt injection, jailbreaking, extracting data outside what a feature is meant to show, or running up costs on someone else's account.
  • Break the law — nothing that violates applicable law, including computer-misuse, fraud, market-manipulation, and sanctions regulations, and nothing that infringes others' rights in their code or data.

Violations may result in content removal, account suspension, and — where the law requires or allows — reporting to the relevant authorities.

Accuracy of the index

The index is built automatically and may be incomplete, out of date, or contain errors (including misclassified tags, timeframes, and capabilities). The site is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Service availability

Freqle is a community project, not a commercial service with an uptime guarantee or service-level agreement. The site may be slow, degraded, or unavailable at any time — due to maintenance, upgrades, hosting or network outages, upstream (GitHub) API limits, or abuse protection — without prior notice. Do not build trading operations, alerts, or any time-critical process on Freqle's availability.

Features, data, and accounts may be modified, suspended, or removed at any time, and the service as a whole may be discontinued without notice or liability. Requests are rate-limited per IP; automated scraping or abusive traffic may be throttled or blocked. Comments, ratings, and other stored data are kept on a best-effort basis — keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose.

No affiliation

Freqle is an independent community project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the freqtrade project, GitHub, any exchange, or any other third party. All trademarks and project names belong to their respective owners.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Freqle and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages — including trading losses, lost profits, or loss of data — arising from the use of, or inability to use, this site or any strategy discovered through it, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Your sole remedy is to stop using the site.

Accounts and credentials

A Freqle account requires only a name, an email address, and a password. Passwords are stored as one-way argon2id hashes — never in plain text — and sessions use signed, HttpOnly cookies with a 30-day expiry. We store nothing else about you and do not sell or share account data.

Freqle will never ask for exchange API keys, wallet seed phrases, private keys, or any funds — not on this site, not by email, not in comments. Anyone requesting these in Freqle's name is a scammer. Keep exchange credentials out of comments and strategy discussions; anything you post is public and permanent enough to be scraped.

You are responsible for your own account hygiene: use a strong password that is unique to Freqle (a leaked password reused from another site cannot be prevented by us), and log out on shared machines. While the site follows standard security practices (hashed passwords, signed sessions, CSRF protection, rate limiting), no online service can guarantee absolute security, and you use the service at your own risk. If you believe your account has been compromised or you discover a security vulnerability, contact the site operator promptly.

Data protection (GDPR)

This section lists, plainly, what Freqle stores about you, why, and how it's protected — in addition to the credential-handling already described above.

What we store, and why

DataPurpose
Email, first name, password hashaccount login, and the address a verification or password-reset link is sent to
Self-chosen trader type (e.g. hodler/whale) and an optional bioshown on your public profile; entirely optional
Plan tier & expiry (free/premium/premium+)which features and queue priority your account gets
Backtests, ratings, favourites, votes and reactions you trigger or leavethe actual feature — running a check, rating a strategy, upvoting a post
Forum posts, comments and profile "about" text you writethe community features; this content is public by nature
Uploaded strategy filesthe search/backtest features you used them for
Support/feedback submissions (and an optional contact address on them)so we can answer you
A private admin-only note some staff actions may leave on your accountmoderation/support context; never shown to you or anyone but staff
Admin event log (operational events)admin-only operational history of the service, so we can help you with your account and spot abuse; kept 30 days, then auto-deleted

We don't run tracking cookies or ad pixels. Visitor analytics is run through a self-hosted, cookieless analytics tool that reports aggregate stats (country, device, page views) with no way to tie a visit back to an account. Your IP address is stored only in the admin-only event log described above (and transiently in standard webserver logs, like virtually every website), is used solely for security and abuse monitoring, and is never shared onward — though a small number of security-relevant events. (e.g. a failed login burst, or a guest download) Requests are rate-limited per IP in memory to stop abuse.

How it's protected

  • Passwords are one-way argon2id hashes — we cannot read or recover your password, only verify a guess against the hash.
  • Sessions are a single signed, HttpOnly cookie holding only your account id and a counter we can bump to invalidate it — no session data lives in a database table to leak.
  • Email-verification, password-reset and CSRF tokens are cryptographically signed and time-limited, not stored anywhere — there is no token table to compromise, and a used or expired token simply stops verifying.
  • All traffic to the site is encrypted (HTTPS/TLS); the database and application are not reachable directly from the internet, only through the site itself.
  • State-changing actions require a per-session CSRF token, and login attempts are rate-limited.

Where it goes (and what doesn't leave this server)

We do not sell or share your account data. The only places personal data can leave our own server: the address you register with, if email is enabled, transits Google's SMTP relay purely to deliver a verification/reset link — Google does not otherwise receive your account data. Uploaded/discovered strategy code and its metadata are not personal data and aren't covered here.

Your rights, and how to exercise them

Under GDPR (and similar laws elsewhere) you can access, correct, or erase your data, and object to or restrict its use. In practice on Freqle:

  • Access/correct — your profile settings show and let you edit everything we hold about you (name, bio, trader type, email); everything else (your ratings, comments, checks, uploads) is already visible on your own profile and strategy pages.
  • Erase — the profile page's delete account button is self-service and immediate: your account, its ratings, favourites, votes, checks and admin/user messages are deleted outright; your forum posts and uploaded strategies stay (community history and search results don't vanish retroactively) but are anonymised to "a former freqler" with no link back to you. This cannot be undone.
  • Export, or anything not covered above — contact us via the support page; we'll handle it manually.

Community & forum rules

The forum, strategy discussions, comments, and profile pages are community spaces for algorithmic trading, code, and quant research. By posting you agree that your content is public, and you accept these rules:

  • No spam or advertising — no referral pushing, pump-and-dump shilling, or off-topic promotion.
  • No scams or contact soliciting — no "recover your funds", fake support, guaranteed-profit pitches, external links, email addresses, phone numbers, or messaging-app handles. Freqle will never DM you for keys or money.
  • No sexual or pornographic content.
  • No harm — no threats, harassment, hate, violence, or illegal instructions.
  • Keep credentials out — never post exchange API keys, seed phrases, or other secrets; anything posted can be scraped.
  • English, plain-ASCII text — posts are length-capped and rate-limited.

Moderation is assisted by an automated (LLM) classifier run by the site operator: submitted posts are screened automatically, and borderline content is held for human review before it appears. Content that breaks these rules may be removed or hidden, and accounts may be suspended or deactivated at the operator's discretion, without notice. Automated decisions are fallible — if your post was held or removed in error, use the support page.

Continued use of the community features (including by accounts created before these rules were published) constitutes acceptance of the current rules; the registration form links to this section explicitly.
