There are three types of configurations in total: environment configuration, user configuration, and strategy configuration. Among them, the priority of environment configuration is higher than that of user configuration, and higher than that of strategy configuration. If conflicts occur, the higher priority settings will be used.
Freqtrade will load the config.json file from the current working directory.
