Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Cluster Terminal, its features, supported data, and platform availability.

​
Exchanges & Data

Cluster Terminal currently supports Binance Futures (USDT-M perpetual contracts) and Spot markets. This covers all actively traded USDT-margined perpetual futures and major spot trading pairs on Binance.Additional exchanges (Bybit, OKX) are planned for future releases.
The following data types are available:
Data TypeDescription
Candles (OHLCV)Standard candlestick data with open, high, low, close, and volume
Clusters / FootprintVolume-at-price data aggregated from individual trades
Open InterestOHLC of open interest over time
Order Book (DOM)Real-time bid/ask depth (live only)
LiquidationsForced liquidation events (live only)
Funding RatePerpetual futures funding rate (live only)
Long/Short RatioAggregate long vs short positioning (live only)
Historical data is available from each symbol’s listing date on Binance. For major symbols like BTCUSDT, this means data going back to 2019. Newer symbols have data starting from when they were listed.The server imports historical data from Binance’s public data archives with SHA256 checksum verification to ensure accuracy.
  • Real-time data (candles, trades, DOM): streams continuously via WebSocket with sub-second latency.
  • Historical data: the server runs a daily import at 03:00 UTC to fill in the previous day’s data.
  • Symbol list: refreshed every 6 hours to pick up newly listed or delisted symbols.
All data comes directly from Binance. Historical data is imported from Binance’s public data archive (ZIP files with checksum verification). Real-time data streams through the Binance WebSocket API. The Cluster Terminal server aggregates and caches this data for fast delivery to the desktop client.

Cluster data is available on all timeframes — the server aggregates trade-level data into the requested timeframe on the fly.
A cluster chart (also called a footprint chart) shows the volume traded at each price level within a candle. Instead of just seeing total volume for a bar, you see how that volume is distributed across prices.This reveals:
  • Where the most trading activity occurred within a candle
  • Buy vs. sell volume (delta) at each price level
  • Absorption patterns where large orders were filled
  • Imbalances between aggressive buyers and sellers
Cluster charts are the core feature of Cluster Terminal and power many of the order flow indicators.

License & Trial

Yes. On first launch without a license key, Cluster Terminal enters a 7-day trial with full functionality. No credit card or registration is required.After the trial expires, a license key is needed to continue using the application.
A license provides:
  • Unlimited access to all chart types and indicators
  • Real-time data streaming
  • Full historical data access
  • Optional features depending on the license tier (e.g., cloud_sync, priority_support)
Each license has a configurable device limit (set by the administrator). When you activate the license on a new device, it registers a device fingerprint. If you reach the device limit, deactivate an existing device or contact support.
Go to Settings > License, enter your license key (format: CT-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX), and click Activate. The application validates the key with the server and registers your device. See Settings for details.
