The result of backtesting will confirm if your bot has better odds of making a profit than a loss.
!!! Tip "Using dynamic pairlists for backtesting"
While using dynamic pairlists during backtesting is not possible, a dynamic pairlist using current data can be generated via the [`test-pairlist`](utils.md#test-pairlist) command, and needs to be specified as `"pair_whitelist"` attribute in the configuration.
!!! Warning "Using dynamic pairlists for backtesting"
Using dynamic pairlists is possible, however it relies on the current market conditions - which will not reflect the historic status of the pairlist.
Also, when using pairlists other than StaticPairlist, reproducability of backtesting-results cannot be guaranteed.
Please read the [pairlists documentation](configuration.md#pairlists) for more information.
To achieve reproducible results, best generate a pairlist via the [`test-pairlist`](utils.md#test-pairlist) command and use that as static pairlist.
### Run a backtesting against the currencies listed in your config file

Using `ask_strategy.order_book_max` higher than 1 will result in improper dry-run results (significantly better than real orders executed on exchange), since dry-run assumes orders to be filled almost instantly.
It is therefore advised to not use this setting for dry-runs.
#### Sell price without Orderbook enabled
When not using orderbook (`ask_strategy.use_order_book=False`), the price at the `ask_strategy.price_side` side (defaults to `"ask"`) from the ticker will be used as the sell price.

These pairs are dangerous since it may be impossible to place the desired stoploss - and often result in high losses.
#### Spread Filter
Removes pairs that have a difference between asks and bids above the specified ratio (default `0.005`).
Example:
If `DOGE/BTC` maximum bid is 0.00000026 and minimum ask is 0.00000027 the ratio is calculated as: `1 - bid/ask ~= 0.037` which is `> 0.005`
