Hi,

Using Edit → Export Bar Data to Text File, I exported the last 100 days of 1-minute data for XBTUSD-BMEX and BTCUSDT_PERP_BINANCE.
However, the exported files contain gaps.

BitMEX (XBTUSD-BMEX)
Total gaps: 1,013
Total missing minutes: 1,209
Largest gap: 6 minutes
Smallest gap: 1 minute

Binance (BTCUSDT_PERP_BINANCE)
Total gaps: 22
Total missing minutes: 27
Largest gap: 2 minutes
Smallest gap: 1 minute

I originally planned to rely on BitMEX because I’ve read that Binance data can be less reliable, but BitMEX shows significantly more gaps.

I’ve run "Delete and Download Data" multiple times for BitMEX, but the gaps remain (Please see attachments).
It seems unlikely that there was no trading activity for several consecutive minutes, so I’m wondering if this can be corrected or if there is another step I should take.

Thank you!
Theodore

We will have a look but this may not be so easy to resolve. Some Binance symbols can be affected by short amounts of data missing intermittently.
