Data Quality
All data goes through quality checks:
- Gap detection — missing candles are identified
- Incremental loading — data is updated continuously
- S3 storage — Parquet format for fast retrieval
- Coverage tracking — every loaded day is recorded in the database
How to Check Coverage
When creating a backtest, the platform automatically shows available data range for your selected instrument and timeframe. The date picker prevents selecting periods outside available data.
You can also check coverage via the AI chat — ask something like "What data is available for SOLUSDT on 15m timeframe?"
Futures-Specific Data
Crypto futures include additional metrics beyond price data:
- Open Interest — total outstanding contracts
- Funding Rate — periodic payment between longs and shorts
- Long/Short Ratio — proportion of long vs short positions
- Liquidation data — for scalping mode instruments
These metrics enable futures-exclusive indicators in your strategies.
