#### How to use --refresh-pairs-cached parameter?
|
||||
The first time your run Backtesting, it will take the pairs your have
|
||||
set in your config file and download data from Bittrex.
|
||||
|
||||
If for any reason you want to update your data set, you use
|
||||
`--refresh-pairs-cached` to force Backtesting to update the data it has.
|
||||
**Use it only if you want to update your data set. You will not be able
|
||||
to come back to the previous version.**
|
||||
|
||||
To test your strategy with latest data, we recommend to continue using
|
||||
the parameter `-l` or `--live`.
