Chart
Candle data — where these bars came from
268 bars from BINANCE
at 5m,
captured when the trade closed and kept — this charts the same whether or not the exchange still answers. Sun 23 Aug, 19:45 to Mon 24 Aug, 18:05
It changes nothing about the trade — your fills, fees and contract size stay
BINANCE's — and the chart says
where the bars came from.
