-Use the --timerange argument to change how much of the testset
+Use the `--timerange` argument to change how much of the testset
 you want to use. The last N ticks/timeframes will be used.

 To update your testdata directory, or download into another testdata directory:
 ```bash
-mkdir freqtrade/tests/testdata-20180113
-cp freqtrade/tests/testdata/pairs.json freqtrade/tests/testdata-20180113
-cd freqtrade/tests/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
 
-python download_backtest_data.py -p pairs.json
+```bash
+python freqtrade/tests/testdata/download_backtest_data.py -p pairs.json
 ```
 
 The script will read your pairs.json file, and download ticker data
