trim_tickerlist is called from load_datafile.
trim_tickerlist will throw an index out of range error when parsing a json file for a timerange outside its contents.
This patch to load_datafile checks the timerange is in the file or not handles the exception as:
- first time hit:
---- Return None existing code will try to download file/timerange from exchange
- second time hit:
---- Log that the exchange does not have the timerange requested
---- Bypass trim_tickerlist function to avoid triggering the index out of range function
Here is an example of the error prior to path and after patching.
This is from binannce using the pair "ZEN/BTC" and timerange "20180522-20180523"
