Candle data — where these bars came from

910 bars from BINANCE at 1m, captured when the trade closed and kept — this charts the same whether or not the exchange still answers.
Mon 27 Jul, 21:18 to Tue 28 Jul, 12:28

It changes nothing about the trade — your fills, fees and contract size stay BINANCE's — and the chart says where the bars came from.
