Fast answer
Crypto signal mark-price checks show which futures price source governed risk.
Before accepting a futures signal result, record mark price, index price, last price, exchange, contract, timestamp, trigger source, funding context, stop behavior, liquidation status, and close record.
If a provider uses last-price screenshots while liquidation and stop logic depended on mark price, the result can mislead followers.
Risk checks
What to inspect in mark-price signal records.
Price source
The record should separate mark price, index price, and last traded price when they matter.
Liquidation trigger
Futures liquidation context often depends on mark price, not only the visible last trade.
Stop trigger setting
A stop based on mark price can behave differently from a stop based on last price.
Timestamp match
Price-source screenshots need the same time window as the signal, update, and close record.
Source context
Mark price and index price are core futures risk references.
Binance Futures exposes mark price and index price through its official market-data endpoint, and its support material explains that mark price incorporates several factors including contract price, order book data, funding, and spot-market references. Crypto signal reviews should preserve which price source was used for liquidation, stops, and result claims.
Review standard
A reviewable mark-price signal separates risk-price evidence from chart-price evidence.
For CSR evidence review, mark-price records should include exchange, contract, mark price, index price, last price, timestamp, trigger source, stop behavior, liquidation context, funding context, updates, and final status.
