### I sold the bot's capital and now there's errors in the log
106+
107+
Freqtrade assumes that the trades it opens are managed only though the bot.
108+
If you happen to (accidentally) sell the bot's capital, freqtrade will try to recover by trying to re-find on-exchange orders.

This is a best-effort approach, and will not work in all cases, especially when using order types that are not supported by freqtrade (OCO, iceberg, etc.), or when working with older trades (where the exchange no longer provides full order information).
111+
The exact limits will vary between exchanges - with the details usually being documented in the exchange's API documentation.
