Chart
Candle data — where these bars came from
470 bars from BINANCE
at 5m,
captured when the trade closed and kept — this charts the same whether or not the exchange still answers. Sun 20 Sep, 10:30 to Tue 22 Sep, 01:40
It changes nothing about the trade — your fills, fees and contract size stay
BINANCE's — and the chart says
where the bars came from.
