< div class = "admonition tip" >
< p class = "admonition-title" > Tip: Updating existing data< / p >
< p > If you already have backtesting data available in your data-directory and would like to refresh this data up to today, freqtrade will automatically calculate the data missing for the existing pairs and the download will occur from the latest available point until "now", neither --days or --timerange parameters are required. Freqtrade will keep the available data and only download the missing data.
If you are updating existing data after inserting new pairs that you have no data for, use < code > --new-pairs-days xx< / code > parameter. Specified number of days will be downloaded for new pairs while old pairs will be updated with missing data only.
If you use < code > --days xx< / code > parameter alone - data for specified number of days will be downloaded for < em > all< / em > pairs. Be careful, if specified number of days is smaller than gap between now and last downloaded candle - freqtrade will delete all existing data to avoid gaps in candle data.< / p >

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PAIRS [PAIRS ...], --pairs PAIRS [PAIRS ...]
Limit command to these pairs. Pairs are space-
separated.
--pairs-file FILE File containing a list of pairs. Takes precedence over
--pairs or pairs configured in the configuration.

--dl-trades Download trades instead of OHLCV data. The bot will
resample trades to the desired timeframe as specified
as --timeframes/-t.
--convert Convert downloaded trades to OHLCV data. Only
applicable in combination with `--dl-trades`. Will be
automatic for exchanges which don' t have historic
OHLCV (e.g. Kraken). If not provided, use `trades-to-
ohlcv` to convert trades data to OHLCV data.
--exchange EXCHANGE Exchange name. Only valid if no config is provided.
-t TIMEFRAMES [TIMEFRAMES ...], --timeframes TIMEFRAMES [TIMEFRAMES ...]
Specify which tickers to download. Space-separated
list. Default: `1m 5m`.
--erase Clean all existing data for the selected
exchange/pairs/timeframes.
--data-format-ohlcv {json,jsongz,hdf5,feather,parquet}
Storage format for downloaded candle (OHLCV) data.
(default: `feather`).
--data-format-trades {json,jsongz,hdf5,feather,parquet}
Storage format for downloaded trades data. (default:
`feather`).
--trading-mode {spot,margin,futures}, --tradingmode {spot,margin,futures}
Select Trading mode
--prepend Allow data prepending. (Data-appending is disabled)
Common arguments:
-v, --verbose Verbose mode (-vv for more, -vvv to get all messages).
--logfile FILE, --log-file FILE
Log to the file specified. Special values are:
' syslog' , ' journald' . See the documentation for more
details.
-V, --version show program' s version number and exit
-c PATH, --config PATH
Specify configuration file (default:
`userdir/config.json` or `config.json` whichever
exists). Multiple --config options may be used. Can be
set to `-` to read config from stdin.
-d PATH, --datadir PATH, --data-dir PATH
Path to directory with historical backtesting data.
--userdir PATH, --user-data-dir PATH
Path to userdata directory.

This data can be useful if you need many different timeframes, since it is only downloaded once, and then resampled locally to the desired timeframes.< / p >
