# Candle-Close Pipeline with Binance APIs & WebSockets

Binance Spot market-data systems can combine REST candle backfill, live kline WebSockets, buffered handoff, final-candle workflow execution, reconnect resync, and clean shutdown.

Perfect for indicator driven systems that need a cache of candles, with a trigger on candle close.

## Default Scope

- Runtime: Node.js LTS
- Recommended language: TypeScript
- Package: [binance](https://siebly.io/sdk/binance/javascript/tutorial)
- Product: Binance Spot
- Starter sample: BTCUSDT 1m with explicit symbol and interval config
- Example use case: Converting a PineScript strategy or indicator that relies on candle closes into a realtime system with live data and historical backfill.
- Credentials: public endpoints only

## Implementation Phases

### 1. Verify SDK surfaces first

Before writing code, inspect the current SDK docs, examples, types, and source for the real kline subscription helper, REST candle method, formatted event type guard, final-candle field, [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement) event, reconnect hook, and shutdown method for the selected Binance product group. Spot is the starter scope here; USD-M, COIN-M, or other product groups can use different clients, methods, request fields, and public stream topics.

- For Spot, expected surfaces to verify include subscribeSpotKline(...), MainClient.getKlines(), isWsFormattedKline(...), data.kline.final, response, reconnected, and closeAll(). If the product group changes, verify and use that product group’s current kline client, REST candle method, topic, [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement) path, finality field, reconnect hook, and shutdown method.
- Do not invent stream names, event names, or payload fields if the package has typed helpers.

### 2. Subscribe before backfill

Open the public WebSocket and send the selected product group kline subscription before starting REST backfill. This prevents missing live candles that arrive during historical hydration.

- Treat socket open, subscribe request sent, and [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement) as separate lifecycle states.
- Do not assume subscribe() means [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement).

### 3. Buffer live events during backfill

Once [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement) is observed, buffer incoming kline events without applying workflow side effects. Backfill recent candles over REST into an in-memory store keyed by symbol, interval, and candle open time.

- Normalize open time, close time, OHLCV fields, interval, symbol, and finalization state.
- Deduplicate historical records before replaying buffered live events.

### 4. Replay, then enable live processing

After REST backfill completes, replay buffered WebSocket events in deterministic event-time order. Skip stale or duplicate candles, update the store, then mark the pipeline strategy-ready.

- The system is not strategy-ready until [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement), backfill, buffered replay, and live-processing enablement are complete.
- Open candles may update local state, but cannot trigger strategy, indicator, signal generation, optional external alert, [order-intent](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#order-intent), or account-decision workflows.

### 5. Run workflows only on closed candles

If the data type has a finality signal, run strategy, indicator, signal generation, optional external alert, [order-intent](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#order-intent), or account-decision workflows only after that final/closed/terminal signal.

- Use the current formatted kline type guard before reading normalized kline fields.
- Use the current finalization field from the SDK payload, not an inferred timer.

### 6. Resync after reconnect

A WebSocket reconnect restores transport, not application correctness. On reconnect, keep streams connected and buffering where possible, pause only downstream candle-close actions, resubscribe if needed, run REST resync/reconciliation, replay buffered events, then re-enable candle-close processing.

- Log reconnecting, reconnected, resync started, resync completed, and strategy-ready transitions.
- Reconnects must not create duplicate candles or duplicate workflow executions.

### 7. Shut down cleanly

Handle process signals and close SDK WebSocket connections before exit. Persisting state is optional for the initial implementation, but the in-memory store should have a clear boundary so storage can be swapped later.

- Use the SDK shutdown method verified from current docs/source.
- Document the public-only boundary and the no-live-orders guarantee in README/setup notes.

### 8. Prove lifecycle behavior

Keep the page implementation public-data-only, but still validate the complete data lifecycle before treating it as ready.

- Candle lifecycle validation must cover [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement), REST backfill, buffered replay, duplicate/stale/out-of-order candles, open-candle no-op, final-candle once-only execution, malformed or wrong-symbol events, reconnect resync, public-only boundaries, and sample-symbol/config handling.
- Do not copy the starter BTCUSDT/1m sample into runtime defaults; symbol and interval stay explicit config.
- Do not mark the pipeline complete until three consecutive full data-lifecycle review passes produce no code, tests, fixtures, or documentation changes.

## Invariants

- Correctness-sensitive workflows cannot run until the selected [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement), backfill, buffered replay, and [live-processing gates](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#readiness-gate) are complete.
- Open candles may update local state, but cannot trigger strategy, indicator, signal generation, optional external alert, [order-intent](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#order-intent), or account-decision workflows.
- Reconnect handling must pause strategy readiness until REST resync/reconciliation completes.
- The code must run without API keys and must not include private clients, account reads, or order endpoints.
- Every data-lifecycle claim in README or code comments needs a fixture or replay case. Behaviors without fixtures should be documented as unsupported or unverified.

Requirements:
- Use public endpoints only. Do not add API keys, private clients, account reads, order placement, cancellation, or amendment.
- Use BTCUSDT spot 1-minute candles as a starter sample only; keep symbol and interval explicit, configurable inputs.
- Start from the task guide and machine-readable recipe above, then verify the current Binance kline subscription helper, REST candle method, formatted kline type guard, final-candle field, [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement) event, reconnect hook, and shutdown method for the selected product group from installed package types/source and focused SDK docs/examples.
- For the Spot starter scope, prefer the spot kline helper, formatted kline type guard, and finalization field when available. Expected names to verify include subscribeSpotKline(...), MainClient.getKlines(...), isWsFormattedKline(...), data.kline.final, response, reconnected, and closeAll(). If the product group changes to USD-M, COIN-M, or another Binance product group, verify and use that product group’s current client, REST candle method, request fields, public kline topic, [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement) path, finality field, reconnect hook, and shutdown method instead of reusing Spot names.
- Do not assume subscribe() means [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement). Treat connection open, subscribe request send, [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement), backfill completion, buffered replay completion, and workflow readiness as separate states.
- Subscribe first, then wait for the package's real [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement) path before starting REST backfill.
- Buffer live kline events while backfill is running. Do not run strategy, indicator, signal generation, optional external alert, [order-intent](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#order-intent), or account-decision workflows until [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement), backfill, replay, and [readiness](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#readiness-gate) are complete.
- Backfill recent candles with MainClient.getKlines() or the current documented equivalent. Normalize symbol, interval, open time, close time, OHLCV fields, and finalization state.
- Store candles in an in-memory store keyed by symbol, interval, and candle open time. Deduplicate stale or duplicate candles and keep deterministic ordering.
- After backfill completes, replay buffered events in event-time order, skip stale or duplicate records, then enable live processing.
- If the data type has a finality signal, run strategy, indicator, signal generation, optional external alert, [order-intent](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#order-intent), or account-decision workflows only after that final/closed/terminal signal.
- Open candles may update local state, but cannot trigger strategy, indicator, signal generation, optional external alert, [order-intent](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#order-intent), or account-decision workflows.
- On WebSocket reconnect, mark the store not workflow-ready, resubscribe as needed, run REST resync/reconciliation, replay any buffered events, then re-enable candle-close workflows.
- Add clean shutdown for WebSocket connections and process signals.
- Candle lifecycle validation must cover [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement), REST backfill, buffered replay, duplicate/stale/out-of-order candles, open-candle no-op, final-candle once-only execution, malformed or wrong-symbol events, reconnect resync, public-only boundaries, and sample-symbol/config handling.
- Do not mark the pipeline complete until three consecutive full data-lifecycle review passes produce no code, tests, fixtures, or documentation changes.

Acceptance criteria:
- The script runs without API keys.
- Correctness-sensitive workflows cannot run until the selected [subscription acknowledgement](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#subscription-acknowledgement), backfill, buffered replay, and [live-processing gates](https://siebly.io/reference/glossary#readiness-gate) are complete.
- Closed candles update the in-memory store exactly once.
- Reconnects perform REST resync before candle-close workflows are re-enabled.
- Public-only code contains no private clients, account reads, order placement, cancellation, or amendment.
- README documents Node.js LTS requirement, install, run command, symbol/interval config, public-only boundary, lifecycle states, reconnect/resync behavior, and shutdown behavior.

Recursive completion workflow:
1. Before implementation, save this exact prompt in docs/AI_PROMPT.md (or docs/SPEC.md when that is the project standard) and write docs/PLAN.md with phases, invariants, tests or fixtures, docs to update, and acceptance gates.
2. Review docs/PLAN.md for missing workflows, unsafe assumptions, product/exchange-specific leakage, unclear state ownership, confirmation or recovery gaps, missing tests, and incomplete docs. Update docs/PLAN.md and repeat until one full review pass finds no actionable changes.
3. Implement one plan phase at a time. After each phase, review changed code, tests, fixtures, docs, generated artifacts, and runtime workflows against docs/PLAN.md and this prompt. Fix gaps and repeat until that phase has no actionable changes before starting the next phase.
4. After all phases, run a full-depth project review across every workflow, lifecycle, state transition, error path, and artifact. This is not a shallow summary pass. Fix every actionable gap and repeat until a full pass finds no further changes, then record the final review outcome in docs/PLAN.md.
