Hello,

I have downloaded backtesting data, and put the data in backtesting_data directory.
But when I want to use it, I obtain this error :

freqtrade: error: unrecognized arguments: --datadir backtesting_data/

I have found the argument "--datadir backtesting_data/" in the freqtrade doc :

https://www.freqtrade.io/en/latest/backtesting/
"freqtrade backtesting --datadir user_data/data/bittrex-20180101"

seems to be a typo in the docs - datadir needs to be before backtesting at the moment (but this willl be changed in the future).

try freqtrade --datadir user_data/data/bittrex-20180101 backtesting
