 !!! Note
     This section is a Work in Progress and is not a complete guide on how to test a new exchange with Freqtrade.
 
+!!! Note
+    Make sure to use an up-to-date version of CCXT before running any of the below tests.
+    You can get the latest version of ccxt by running `pip install -U ccxt` with activated virtual environment.
+    Native docker is not supported for these tests, however the available dev-container will support all required actions and eventually necessary changes.

 Most exchanges supported by CCXT should work out of the box.
 
 To quickly test the public endpoints of an exchange, add a configuration for your exchange to `test_ccxt_compat.py` and run these tests with `pytest --longrun tests/exchange/test_ccxt_compat.py`.
 Completing these tests successfully a good basis point (it's a requirement, actually), however these won't guarantee correct exchange functioning, as this only tests public endpoints, but no private endpoint (like generate order or similar).
 
+Also try to use `freqtrade download-data` for an extended timerange and verify that the data downloaded correctly (no holes, the specified timerange was actually downloaded).

 ### Stoploss On Exchange
 
 Check if the new exchange supports Stoploss on Exchange orders through their API.
