Chart
Candle data — where these bars came from

364 bars from BINANCE at 1m, captured when the trade closed and kept — this charts the same whether or not the exchange still answers.
Tue 4 Aug, 07:02 to Tue 4 Aug, 13:06

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