Chart
Candle data — where these bars came from
360 bars from BINANCE
at 5m,
captured when the trade closed and kept — this charts the same whether or not the exchange still answers. Sun 4 Oct, 15:35 to Mon 5 Oct, 21:35
It changes nothing about the trade — your fills, fees and contract size stay
BINANCE's — and the chart says
where the bars came from.

Something to add to this trade?
Stamped with today and added to the end of After. What you wrote when it closed stays
exactly as it is — that is the version worth keeping.
Logged this by mistake?
The trade stops appearing everywhere in the journal. The row itself is kept, so if you
delete the wrong one the trade and everything you wrote can be brought back from the
database.
