DATA PROVENANCE
Real BTCUSDT data, validated before display
Market Tug currently uses public Binance Spot BTCUSDT market data. The browser receives validated MarketFrame messages from the Market Tug gateway; it never interprets exchange payloads directly.
What enters the model
Executed spot trades supply taker-side flow. A synchronized Level 2 depth snapshot and update stream supply bid and ask liquidity near the mid-price. Provider timestamps, sequence identifiers, numeric bounds, and product IDs are validated at the gateway boundary.
- Provider: Binance Spot
- Pair: BTCUSDT
- Trade window: 15 seconds
- Depth band: 20 basis points around mid-price
- Published frame limit: 4 per second
Freshness and outages
A live badge means the latest frame passed the configured freshness and integrity checks. Delayed or inconsistent streams are marked stale, reconnecting, or unavailable. The animation pauses rather than extrapolating missing data.
Exchange availability, network paths, and the Market Tug gateway can all affect latency. The timestamp in the interface describes the latest accepted frame, not a promise of zero delay.
