#### Running backtest with smaller testset
#### Running backtest with smaller testset by using timerange
Use the `--timerange` argument to change how much of the testset you want to use.
Example:
For example, running backtesting with the `--timerange=20190501-` option will use all available data starting with May 1st, 2019 from your inputdata.
```bash
freqtrade backtesting --timerange=20190501-
```
#### Advanced use of timerange
For Example, running backtesting with the `--timerange=20190101-` option will use all available data starting with January 1st, 2019 from your inputdata.
You can also specify particular dates or a range span indexed by start and stop.
The full timerange specification:
- Use tickframes till 2018/01/31: `--timerange=-20180131`
- Use tickframes since 2018/01/31: `--timerange=20180131-`
- Use tickframes since 2018/01/31 till 2018/03/01 : `--timerange=20180131-20180301`
