Binance bar replay and backtesting

Binance market types and how far back they go

Every market starts on the day Binance listed it. Not counted: 236 contracts on stocks, ETFs, commodities and currencies that Binance also lists.

The largest Binance markets

The eight bases with the highest 24-hour turnover across all four exchanges, as far as Binance lists them. Measured on 4 November 2026 via Binance’s public API.

How fast Binance adds markets

Counts today’s listed markets of the types USDⓈ-M perpetuals and futures and COIN-M perpetuals and futures by the day of their first 1-minute candle; delisted markets are missing. Includes non-crypto contracts.

Symbols on Binance

Binance names USDⓈ-M perpetuals and spot pairs alike (BTCUSDT); COIN-M perpetuals end in _PERP (BTCUSD_PERP) and quarterly contracts carry their expiry date (BTCUSD_251226). Because the same symbol exists as spot and as perpetual, Edgetrail always asks for the market type first. Binance USDⓈ-M futures trades can also be imported into the journal with a read-only API key.

How a session runs and which tools are on the chart is the same on every exchange – it is described once on the replay overview. All four exchanges side by side, with the oldest candle of every market type, are in the crypto candle history data.

Funding and costs

Binance settles funding on its perpetuals at different intervals. In the snapshot of 4 November 2026, 559 perpetuals with a funding rate were counted: 428 every 4 hours, 130 every 8 hours and 1 every hour. Replay results in Edgetrail don’t include funding payments, so check the interval of your market before you hold a backtest position across funding times; the funding fee calculator turns a rate into a cost. Live trades you import into the journal carry the result as Binance booked it.
