Chart
Candle data — where these bars came from

390 bars from BINANCE at 5m, captured when the trade closed and kept — this charts the same whether or not the exchange still answers.
Wed 19 Aug, 21:35 to Fri 21 Aug, 06:05

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