Code Structure
The code structure separates concerns: data ingestion, signal generation, risk checks, and order submission. This modularity enables testing and reuse across strategies.

Common Issues
Common issues with freqtrade installation include look-ahead bias in backtesting, overfitting to historical regimes, inadequate handling of exchange downtime, and insufficient logging for debugging.
Production Notes
In production, freqtrade installation requires monitoring for API rate limits, database connection pooling, log rotation, alert thresholds, and automated restart procedures. Document runbooks for incident response.
