+**Running backtest with smaller testset**  
+Use the `--timerange` argument to change how much of the testset
+you want to use. The last N ticks/timeframes will be used.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+python3 ./freqtrade/main.py backtesting --timerange=-200
+```
+
+***Advanced use of timerange***  
+Doing `--timerange=-200` will get the last 200 timeframes
+from your inputdata. You can also specify specific dates,
+or a range span indexed by start and stop.
+
+The full timerange specification:
+- Use last 123 tickframes of data: `--timerange=-123`
+- Use first 123 tickframes of data: `--timerange=123-`
+- Use tickframes from line 123 through 456: `--timerange=123-456`
+
+
+Incoming feature, not implemented yet:
+- `--timerange=-20180131`
+-  `--timerange=20180101-`
+- `--timerange=20180101-20181231`
+
+
+**Update testdata directory**
+To update your testdata directory, or download into another testdata directory:
+```bash
+mkdir -p user_data/data/testdata-20180113
+cp freqtrade/tests/testdata/pairs.json user_data/data-20180113
+cd user_data/data-20180113
+```
+
+Possibly edit pairs.json file to include/exclude pairs
+
+```bash
+python freqtrade/tests/testdata/download_backtest_data.py -p pairs.json
+```
+
+The script will read your pairs.json file, and download ticker data
+into the current working directory.

 #### I have made 12 trades already, why is my total profit negative?!

-I understand your disappointment but unfortunately 12 trades is just not enough to say anything. If you run backtesting, you can see that our current algorithm does leave you on the plus side, but that is after thousands of trades and even there, you will be left with losses on specific coins that you have traded tens if not hundreds of times. We of course constantly aim to improve the bot but it will _always_ be a gamble, which should leave you with modest wins on monthly basis but you can't say much from few trades.

+### How many epoch do I need to get a good Hyperopt result?
+Per default Hyperopts without `-e` or `--epochs` parameter will only 
+run 100 epochs, means 100 evals of your triggers, guards, .... Too few 
+to find a great result (unless if you are very lucky), so you probably 
+have to run it for 10.000 or more. But it will take an eternity to 
+compute.
+
+We recommend you to run it at least 10.000 epochs:
+```bash
+python3 ./freqtrade/main.py hyperopt -e 10000
+```
+
+or if you want intermediate result to see
+```bash
+for i in {1..100}; do python3 ./freqtrade/main.py hyperopt -e 100; done
+```
+
+#### Why it is so long to run hyperopt?
+Finding a great Hyperopt results takes time. 
+
+If you wonder why it takes a while to find great hyperopt results
+
+This answer was written during the under the release 0.15.1, when we had
+:
+- 8 triggers
+- 9 guards: let's say we evaluate even 10 values from each
+- 1 stoploss calculation: let's say we want 10 values from that too to 
+be evaluated
+
+The following calculation is still very rough and not very precise
+but it will give the idea. With only these triggers and guards there is 
+already 8*10^9*10 evaluations. A roughly total of 80 billion evals. 
+Did you run 100 000 evals? Congrats, you've done roughly 1 / 100 000 th 
+of the search space.
