Market-Data Sources & Processing

The web platform’s primary BTC/USDT market data comes from Binance Spot. This guide separates exchange data from blockchain data and describes the processing boundaries visible to users.

Primary exchange source

The current ingestion workers consume public Binance Spot BTC/USDT streams. Aggregated trades support participation and large-trade analysis; order-book and one-minute kline streams support their respective views. The web product does not treat Binance Futures volume as equivalent to Binance Spot volume.

This is exchange market data. It is not a blockchain index and does not by itself identify on-chain transactions, wallets, or exchange customers.

Realtime and historical paths

Realtime workers process incoming Binance messages and persist active market state. Historical Binance kline requests seed or backfill candle coverage when needed. Because realtime events and historical candles come through different interfaces, brief reconciliation can occur around startup, reconnects, or minute boundaries.

Aggregation and candle finalization

Trade events are timestamped in UTC and grouped into bounded buffers. At a minute boundary, ingestion switches buffers so new events can continue arriving while the completed minute is written. One-minute candles can be active before becoming final; larger timeframes are derived from completed lower-level data and may update as the current period develops.

Availability, reconnects, and interruptions

Exchange maintenance, rate limits, network interruptions, and service restarts can delay or temporarily reduce coverage. The workers reconnect with backoff and can request recent candles to fill detected gaps. A successful reconnect does not promise that every provider will show identical timing or totals.

Preview, free, delayed, and paid access

Guests receive the existing limited preview. Signing in provides continued permanent free functionality. Some views use delayed data or shorter history on lower tiers, while paid tiers can unlock realtime data, deeper history, proprietary indicators, or strategy testing. Public beta overrides are resolved by the backend and can temporarily broaden web access; they do not create a paid subscription or unlock every external benefit.

Why another provider may differ

Providers can differ by exchange, market type, symbol, timezone, candle-closing rules, trade aggregation, missing-data policy, latency, rounding, and whether an in-progress candle is included. Compare the same Binance Spot symbol and completed UTC interval before treating a difference as an error.

Risk and data limitations

Exchange data can be delayed, incomplete, corrected, or unavailable. Aggregation and indicators summarize observed activity; they do not reveal hidden intent or guarantee an outcome. The platform is informational software, not a promise of market direction, execution, or investment performance.
