This was related to the symbol name. It seems symbol names are different in FEATURES mode. I changed USDT to USDTM and the problem was fixed.

If you know why symbol names are different in the FEATURES and what mean USDTM and M please explain to me.

By the way, Thank you in advance.

Hello

That is right

We have different symbol names in future and spot.

Also the base currency, USDT is converted to USDTM

Please get the full info here:

Also the base currency, USDT is converted to USDTM

Do you know what this abbreviation stands for? And what does M mean? @progressivehed

[progressivehed]

It is just a naming to differentiate USDT name in spot from future

Thanks, Future charts are not available in the trading view?

[BaseMax]

I cannot find USDTM charts in tradingview. But I see GMT-USDT (Kucoin) in tradingview. They are same or no?

[progressivehed]

No actually these namings are only inside Kucoin.

You can not find them on charting websites under those names (like tradingview)

In all charting websites, they have standard names universally. For BTC it is BTC-USDT perpetual contract .

So to summarize my answrr, thiese specific namings only belongs to Kucoin

Thank you for your answer. Does it's only related to naming or chart data is different too?

[progressivehed]

It is just about naming. Chart data are usually the same ( with slight delays)
