In the download method we have 4 arguments.

The first one is the ticker. The valid tickers are show in the Darwinex website

The second and third arguments are dates. For the moment, date format must always be as follows: "dd-mm-yyyy" where the first date is the start date and the second is the end date.

And the 4th argument is the frecuency. This frecuency has the format used by pandas timeframes where the most used in trading can be:

• '1Min'
• '5Min'
• '15Min'
• '30Min'
• '1H'
• '4H'
• '1D'
• 'Week'
• 'Month'
