What this cannot see

Binance throttles liquidation publications, so these readings describe the observed feed and miss some liquidation records. Count estimation is still under validation. It would require uncertainty, support and freshness checks, and would not recover hidden event times or validate a price-level heatmap or cascade forecast.
