Otherwise `--exchange` becomes mandatory.
Alternatively, a `pairs.json` file can be used.
### Pairs file
In alternative to the whitelist from `config.json`, a `pairs.json` file can be used.
If you are using Binance for example:
- create a directory `user_data/data/binance` and copy `pairs.json` in that directory.
- update the `pairs.json` to contain the currency pairs you are interested in.
- create a directory `user_data/data/binance` and copy or create the `pairs.json` file in that directory.
- update the `pairs.json` file to contain the currency pairs you are interested in.

### Other Notes
- To use a different directory than the exchange specific default, use `--datadir user_data/data/some_directory`.

- To use `pairs.json` from some other directory, use `--pairs-file some_other_dir/pairs.json`.
