Update recommendation for kraken

The Kraken API does only provide 720 historic candles, which is sufficient for Freqtrade dry-run and live trade modes, but is a problem for backtesting.
|
||||
To download data for the Kraken exchange, using `--dl-trades` is mandatory, otherwise the bot will download the same 720 candles over and over, and you'll not have enough backtest data.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the heavy rate-limiting applied by Kraken, the following configuration section should be used to download data:
|
||||
|
||||
``` json
|
||||
"ccxt_async_config": {
|
||||
"enableRateLimit": true,
|
||||
"rateLimit": 3100
|
||||
},
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
!!! Warning "Downloading data from kraken"
|
||||
Downloading kraken data will require significantly more memory (RAM) than any other exchange, as the trades-data needs to be converted into candles on your machine.
|
||||
It will also take a long time, as freqtrade will need to download every single trade that happened on the exchange for the pair / timerange combination, therefore please be patient.
