**Update testdata directory**
|
**Downloading new set of ticker data**
|
||||||
To update your testdata directory, or download into another testdata directory:
|
To download new set of backtesting ticker data, you can use a download script.
|
||||||
```bash
|
|
||||||
mkdir -p user_data/data/testdata-20180113
|
|
||||||
cp freqtrade/tests/testdata/pairs.json user_data/data/testdata-20180113
|
|
||||||
cd user_data/data/testdata-20180113
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Possibly edit `pairs.json` file to include/exclude pairs
|
If you are using Binance for example:
|
||||||
|
- create a folder `user_data/data/binance` and copy `pairs.json` in that folder.
|
||||||
|
- update the `pairs.json` to contain the currency pairs you are interested in.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
```bash
|
||||||
python3 freqtrade/tests/testdata/download_backtest_data.py -p pairs.json
|
mkdir -p user_data/data/binance
|
||||||
|
cp freqtrade/tests/testdata/pairs.json user_data/data/binance
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The script will read your `pairs.json` file, and download ticker data
|
Then run:
|
||||||
into the current working directory.
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
python scripts/download_backtest_data --exchange binance
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will download ticker data for all the currency pairs you defined in `pairs.json`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- To use a different folder than the exchange specific default, use `--export user_data/data/some_directory`.
|
||||||
|
- To change the exchange used to download the tickers, use `--exchange`. Default is `bittrex`.
|
||||||
|
- To use `pairs.json` from some other folder, use `--pairs-file some_other_dir/pairs.json`.
|
||||||
|
- To download ticker data for only 10 days, use `--days 10`.
