 The `list-pairs` and `list-markets` subcommands allow to see the pairs/markets available on exchange.
 
-Pairs are markets with the '/' character between the base currency part and the quote currency part.
+Pairs are markets with the '/' character between the base currency part and the quote currency part in the market symbol.
+
+For example, in the 'ETH/BTC' pair 'ETH' is the base currency, while 'BTC' is the quote currency.
+
+For pairs traded by Freqtrade the pair quote currency should be equal to the value of the `stake_currency` configuration setting.
