     To ensure that the model can be reused, freqAI will call your strategy with a dataframe of length 1. 
     If your strategy requires more data than this to generate the same features, you can't reuse backtest predictions for live deployment and need to update your `identifier` for each new backtest.

 ### Backtest live collected predictions
 
 FreqAI allow you to reuse live historic predictions through the backtest parameter `--freqai-backtest-live-models`. This can be useful when you want to reuse predictions generated in dry/run for comparison or other study.
