   * By default, low-value coins that would not allow setting a stop loss are filtered out. (set `precision_filter` parameter to `false` to disable this behaviour).
   * `VolumePairList` does not consider `pair_whitelist`, but builds this automatically based the pairlist configuration.
   * Pairs in `pair_blacklist` are not considered for VolumePairList, even if all other filters would match.
+  * `low_price_percent_filter` allows filtering of pairs where a raise of 1 price unit is below the `low_price_percent_filter` ratio.
+    Calculation example: Min price precision is 8 decimals. If price is 0.00000011 - one step would be 0.00000012 - which is almost 10% higher than the previous value.
