@ -392,9 +392,9 @@ Imagine you've developed a strategy that trades the `5m` timeframe using signals
The strategy might look something like this:
*Scan through the top 10 pairs by volume using the `VolumePairList` every 5 minutes and use a 14 day ATR to buy and sell.*
*Scan through the top 10 pairs by volume using the `VolumePairList` every 5 minutes and use a 14 day RSI to buy and sell.*
Due to the limited available data, it's very difficult to resample our `5m` candles into daily candles for use in a 14 day ATR. Most exchanges limit us to just 500 candles which effectively gives us around 1.74 daily candles. We need 14 days at least!

Since we can't resample our data we will have to use an informative pair; and since our whitelist will be dynamic we don't know which pair(s) to use.
