### How to use **--refresh-pairs-cached** parameter?
### Getting historic data for backtesting
The first time your run Backtesting, it will take the pairs you have
set in your config file and download data from the Exchange.
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.
!!! Note
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 continuing using
the parameter `-l` or `--live`.
The first time your run Backtesting, you will need to download some historic data first.
This can be accomplished by using `freqtrade download-data`.
