Prevents the bot from opening new trades by temporarily setting "max_open_trades" to 0. Open trades will be handled via their regular rules (ROI / Sell-signal, stoploss, ...).
Prevents the bot from opening new trades by changing the state to `paused`.
Open trades will continue to be managed according to their regular rules (ROI/exit signals, stop-loss, etc.).
Note that position adjustment remains active, but only on the exit side — meaning that when the bot is `paused`, it can only reduce the position size of open trades.
After this, give the bot time to close off open trades (can be checked via `/status table`).
Once all positions are sold, run `/stop` to completely stop the bot.
Once all positions are closed, run `/stop` to completely stop the bot.
`/reload_config` resets "max_open_trades" to the value set in the configuration and resets this command.
Use `/start` to resume the bot to the `running` state, allowing it to open new positions.
!!! Warning
The stop-buy signal is ONLY active while the bot is running, and is not persisted anyway, so restarting the bot will cause this to reset.
The pause/stopentry signal is ONLY active while the bot is running, and is not persisted anyway, so restarting the bot will cause this to reset.
