-If you are using `dry_run=True` it's not necessary to mount `tradesv3.sqlite`, but you can mount `tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite` if you plan to use the dry run mode with the param `--dry-run-db`.
+NOTE: db-url defaults to `sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite` but it defaults to `sqlite://` if `dry_run=True` is being used.
+To override this behaviour use a custom db-url value: i.e.: `--db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite`
