Market Data Guide

Checking Crypto Data Reliability

Real-time market data is never perfect. Exchange API latency, network errors, collection cadence, and fallback status all affect how much confidence to place in an indicator.

Check Freshness

Confirm whether price and derivatives indicators were updated around the same time. If one indicator is stale, exclude it from the current decision or give it lower weight.

For short-horizon trading, even a delay of seconds to minutes can change interpretation. Always check update time and freshness labels.

Coverage and Fallback

Not every symbol has the same depth of data. Some symbols may only have price and OI without detailed CVD, whale, or liquidation metrics.

Fallback data prevents the service from going blank, but it can differ from scanner candidates or deep coverage data.

Source Differences

Trade volume, OI, and liquidation aggregation can differ by exchange. When comparing sources, align the market, quote currency, and aggregation window.

To reduce data-error risk, check whether price, volume, OI, funding, and liquidations explain the same market situation.

Review checklist

  • Are all indicator update times recent?
  • Is the symbol deep coverage or summary only?
  • Is the UI showing fallback data or normal scanner data?
  • Do multiple indicators explain the same market condition?
