Chart
Candle data — where these bars came from
228 bars from BINANCE
at 5m,
captured when the trade closed and kept — this charts the same whether or not the exchange still answers. Sat 26 Sep, 23:50 to Sun 27 Sep, 18:50
It changes nothing about the trade — your fills, fees and contract size stay
BINANCE's — and the chart says
where the bars came from.
