The API is currently very parameter heavy, and could be overwhelming for users. Right now API information for the exchanges are in a configuration file, but we could take it a step further and use a configuration file that is looked for in the current directory, then the ~/ directory of a user.

The configuration file could have the following extracted into it

{
  "tradingMode": "real"
  "secrets": {
      "gdaxAPI: "/full/path/to/adam.parrish.gdax.json",
      "binanceAPI: "/full/path/to/adam.parrish.binance.json",
      "bittrexAPI: "/full/path/to/adam.parrish.bittrex.json"
  },
  "tradingDefaults": {
     sourceUSD: "4000",
     lowerBound: "0.9675",
     logarithmicStep: "3"
  },
  outputMode: "table"
}

The behavior of the configuration file will be to set defaults if no override is supplied via command line. If a user provides any of the configuration file params on command line, then they will take precedence.
