Download historical candles for a selected market and timeframe

Fetch OHLCV for one fixed pair and confirm the requested range.

Goal

Prepare a complete, reproducible local candle dataset.

Choose exchange, exact pair, timeframe, and UTC date range. [download]
Run freqtrade download-data --exchange binance --pairs BTC/USDT --timeframes 1h --timerange 20240101-20250101. [download]
Run freqtrade list-data --show-timerange and record pair, timeframe, coverage, command, and data-directory snapshot. [download]

`list-data` shows the requested pair/timeframe and covers the backtest range.

If no data appears, check exchange timeframe support, pair syntax, and network; do not silently substitute another pair.

Python 3.11+, Freqtrade installed, a pinned strategy, and a local user-data directory.

Use public market data and local history; treat every trading decision as research and never connect a live account.

History depth, delisted pairs, and candle revisions affect coverage; data availability says nothing about strategy quality.

These values describe the upstream repository, not popularity or likes for an individual skill or playbook.
