Freqtrade has two testing modes:
- **backtesting**: using historical data that you [download from an exchange](data-download.md), backtesting is a quick way to assess performance of a strategy. However, it can be very easy to distort results so a strategy will look a lot more profitable than it really is. Check the [backtesting documentation](backtesting.md) for more information.
- **dry run**: often referred to as `forward testing`, dry runs use real time data from the exchange. However, any signals that would result in trades are tracked as normal by Freqtrade, but do not have any trades opened on the exchange itself. Forward testing runs in real time, so whilst it takes longer to get results it is a much more reliable indicator of **potential** performance then backtesting.

Dry runs are enabled by setting `dry_run` to true in your [configuration](configuration.md#using-dry-run-mode).
