Open the app folder and edit BinanceAPI.py in notepad find recvWindow and replace the figures with something <= 60000

This got it working for me.

The recvWindow is for synchronization with the Binance server. It is checking your local time and the time on the Binance server, if the difference is bigger than the recvWindow {miliseconds] you will recieve an error. "An additional parameter, recvWindow, may be sent to specify the number of milliseconds after timestamp the request is valid for. If recvWindow is not sent, it defaults to 5000." You can also check here: https://github.com/binance-exchange/binance-official-api-docs/blob/master/rest-api.md

The value isn't read from the config file, so here is a diff output that needs to be applied to fix the issue:
