Configure exchange websocket subscriptions

• Websocket subscriptions provide a stream of data from an exchange. Whilst subscriptions are specific to each exchange, some common examples are: candles, orderbook, ticker and allTrades. You can configure any supported channels in your exchange, but most likely you just want to disable some of the defaults, or change the default intervals. You cannot configure an empty list of subscriptions, instead set all of the subscriptions to enabled: false.

See the section exchange.features.enabled.subscriptions for configuring subscriptions:

"subscriptions": [
 {
  "enabled": true,
  "channel": "ticker"
 },
 {
  "enabled": false,
  "channel": "allTrades"
 },
 {
  "enabled": true,
  "channel": "candles",
  "interval": "1m"
 },
 {
  "enabled": true,
  "channel": "orderbook",
  "interval": "100ms"
 }
]

Configure Network Time Server

• To configure and enable a NTP server you need to set the "enabled" field to one of 3 values -1 is disabled 0 is enabled and alert at start up 1 is enabled and warn at start up servers are configured by the pool array and attempted first to last allowedDifference and allowedNegativeDifference are how far ahead and behind is acceptable for the time to be out in nanoseconds

 "ntpclient": {
  "enabled": 0,
  "pool": [
   "pool.ntp.org:123"
  ],
  "allowedDifference": 0,
  "allowedNegativeDifference": 0
 },
