freqtrade backtesting --strategy AwesomeStrategy --timeframe 1h --timeframe-detail 5m
```
This will load 1h data as well as 5m data for the timeframe. The strategy will be analyzed with the 1h timeframe - and for every "open trade candle" (candles where a trade is open) the 5m data will be used to simulate intra-candle movements.
This will load 1h data as well as 5m data for the timeframe. The strategy will be analyzed with the 1h timeframe, and Entry orders will only be placed at the main timeframe, however Order fills and exit signals will be evaluated at the 5m candle, simulating intra-candle movements.
All callback functions (`custom_exit()`, `custom_stoploss()`, ... ) will be running for each 5m candle once the trade is opened (so 12 times in the above example of 1h timeframe, and 5m detailed timeframe).
`--timeframe-detail` must be smaller than the original timeframe, otherwise backtesting will fail to start.
