This is similar to using multiple `--config` parameters, but simpler in usage as you don't have to specify all files for all commands.
!!! Tip "Use multiple configuration files to keep secrets secret"
You can use a 2nd configuration file containing your secrets. That way you can share your "primary" configuration file, while still keeping your API keys for yourself.
You can use a 2nd configuration file containing your secrets. That way you can share your "primary" configuration file, while still keeping your API keys for yourself.
The 2nd file should only specify what you intend to override.
If a key is in more than one of the configurations, then the "last specified configuration" wins (in the above example, `config-private.json`).
For one-off commands, you can also use the below syntax by specifying multiple "--config" parameters.
``` bash
freqtrade trade --config user_data/config1.json --config user_data/config-private.json <...>
```
The below is equivalent to the example above - but having 2 configuration files in the configuration, for easier reuse.
``` json title="user_data/config.json"
"add_config_files": [
"config1.json",
"config-private.json"
]

??? Note "config collision handling"
If the same configuration setting takes place in both `config.json` and `config-import.json`, then the parent configuration wins.
In the below case, `max_open_trades` would be 3 after the merging - as the reusable "import" configuration has this key overwritten.

If multiple files are in the `add_config_files` section, then they will be assumed to be at identical levels, having the last occurrence override the earlier config (unless a parent already defined such a key).
