Open Interest (OI) Delta [UAlgo]The Open Interest (OI) Delta indicator is a tool designed to provide insights into the dynamics of Open Interest changes within the futures market. Open Interest (OI) refers to the total number of outstanding derivative contracts, such as options or futures, that have not been settled. The OI Delta measures the change in Open Interest over a specified period, allowing traders to assess whether new money is entering the market or existing positions are being closed.
This indicator offers two distinct display modes to visualize OI Delta, along with customizable levels that help in categorizing the magnitude of OI changes. Additionally, it provides the option to color-code the bars on the price chart based on the intensity and direction of OI Delta, making it easier for traders to interpret market sentiment and potential future price movements.
🔶 Key Features
Two Display Modes: Choose between two different modes for visualizing OI Delta, depending on your analysis preferences:
Mode 1: Displays the OI Delta directly as positive or negative values.
Mode 2: Separates positive and negative OI Delta values, displaying them as absolute values for easier comparison.
Customizable Levels: Set up to four levels of OI Delta magnitude, each with customizable thresholds and colors. These levels help categorize the OI changes into Normal, Medium, Large, and Extreme ranges, allowing for a more nuanced interpretation of market activity.
MA Length and Standard Deviation Period: Adjust the moving average length and standard deviation period for OI Delta, which smooths out the data and helps in identifying significant deviations from the norm.
Color-Coded Bar Chart: Optionally color the price bars on your chart based on the OI Delta levels, helping to visually correlate price action with changes in Open Interest.
Heatmap Display: Toggle the display of OI Delta levels on the chart, with the option to fill the areas between these levels for a more visually intuitive understanding of the data.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Positive vs. Negative OI Delta:
A positive OI Delta indicates that the Open Interest is increasing, suggesting that new contracts are being created, which could imply fresh capital entering the market.
A negative OI Delta suggests that Open Interest is decreasing, indicating that contracts are being closed out or settled, which might reflect profit-taking or a reduction in market interest.
Magnitude Levels:
Level 1 (Normal OI Δ): Represents typical, less significant changes in OI. If the OI Delta stays within this range, it may indicate routine market activity without any substantial shift in sentiment.
Level 2 (Medium OI Δ): Reflects a more significant change in OI, suggesting increased market interest and possibly the beginning of a new trend or phase of market participation.
Level 3 (Large OI Δ): Indicates a strong change in OI, often associated with a decisive move in the market. This could signify strong conviction among market participants, either bullish or bearish.
Level 4 (Extreme OI Δ): The highest level of OI change, often preceding major market moves. Extreme OI Δ can be a signal of potential market reversals or the final phase of a strong trend.
Color-Coded Bars:
When enabled, the color of the price bars will reflect the magnitude and direction of the OI Delta. This visual aid helps in quickly assessing the correlation between price movements and changes in market sentiment as indicated by OI.
This indicator is particularly useful for futures traders looking to gauge the strength and direction of market sentiment by analyzing changes in Open Interest. By combining this with price action, traders can gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions

Open Interest Inflows & Outflows [LuxAlgo]The Open Interest Inflows & Outflows indicator focuses on highlighting alterations in the overall count of active contracts associated with a specific financial instrument.
The indicator also includes an oscillator highlighting the price sentiment to use in conjunction with the open interest flow sentiment and also includes a rolling correlation of the open interest flow sentiment with a user-selected source.
🔶 USAGE
Open Interest (OI) indicates the total number of active contracts, encompassing both long and short positions, for a specific financial instrument at any given moment. This key indicator helps traders and analysts assess market activity and sentiment.
An increase in open interest generally indicates new money flowing into the market, suggesting increased activity and the potential for a trending market. Conversely, a decrease in open interest indicates that traders are closing their positions, suggesting less interest in that particular contract.
Open Interest Flow Sentiment assesses the correlation between the initiation of new positions (inflows) and the closure of existing positions (outflows) for a particular instrument. Positive values suggest a prevalence of inflows, while negative values signify a prevalence of outflows.
The magnitude of the deviation from zero reflects the extent of dominance, either in inflows or outflows.
Price Sentiment estimates the relationship between the strength of bulls (buyers) and bears (sellers) on an instrument. Positive values indicate higher bull power and negative values indicate higher bear power.
The correlation feature is a key component of the indicator and helps analyze the relationship between trading volume and Open Interest changes. If volume increases along with rising Open Interest, it supports the validity of the price trend.
A divergence between price movement, volume, and Open Interest may signal potential reversals.
🔶 DETAILS
This indicator, based on Dr. Alexander Elder's acclaimed Elder-Ray concept, aids traders in evaluating the strength of both bulls and bears by delving beneath the surface of the markets. It uncovers data not immediately apparent from a superficial glance at prices. The indicator comprises two components: Bull Power and Bear Power.
Considering that the high price of any candle signifies the maximum power of buyers and the low price represents the maximum power of sellers, Elder employs the 13-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to depict the average consensus of price value. Bull Power assesses whether buyers can drive prices above the average consensus of value, while Bear Power assesses whether sellers can push prices below this average.
Here are the formulas for Bull Power and Bear Power:
bull_power = high - ema(close, 13)
bear_power = low - ema(close, 13)
This concept is utilized to calculate Open Interest Flow Sentiment and Price Sentiment. The Open Interest Flow Sentiment estimates the relationship between new positions (inflows) and positions being closed (outflows), providing insights into market dynamics. The Price Sentiment, on the other hand, gauges the correlation between price movements and the Elder-Ray components, aiding traders in identifying potential shifts in market sentiment and momentum.

TASC 2023.10 COT Commercials Indicator█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the COT Commercials Indicator introduced by Alfred François Tagher in an article featured in TASC's October 2023 edition of Traders' Tips . The indicator is designed for use in futures markets and represents a fast stochastic (%K) calculated based on the commercial open interest values of an asset derived from the weekly Commitments Of Traders (COT) report .
█ CONCEPTS
The COT report, issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) , presents a breakdown of reportable open interest positions held by various trader groups—commercial, noncommercial, and nonreportable (small traders). Open interest reflects the total number of derivative contracts entered by market participants but not yet settled. Consequently, it can serve as a measure of market activity and liquidity.
The indicator showcased here aims to analyze changes in the reported net values of open interest for commercial traders/hedgers (often referred to as 'smart money', as they deal directly in underlying commodities). The net values are positive when the commercial traders have more long positions than short ones and negative when they hold more short positions than long ones. Positive net values indicate that commercial traders hold more long positions than short ones, while negative values indicate the opposite. Thus, overbought and oversold conditions of the COT Commercials Indicator potentially suggest collective bullish and bearish sentiments, respectively.
█ CALCULATIONS
The calculations involve these steps:
1. Net open interest values are extracted from COT data using the LibraryCOT library provided by TradingView.
2. A fast stochastic indicator (%K) is then applied to normalize these net values.
The script also provides an option of calculating and plotting the indicator curve for noncommercial (speculators) open interest.
Crypto Open InterestPlots a crypto's open interest on Binance.
You can choose to see OI as asset-denominated (e.g. 1000 BTC), USD-denominated, or both.
How I usually interpret OI:
Price up, OI up = longs opened = bullish
Price up, OI down = shorts closed = bullish on HTF, or counter-trade on LTF
Price down, OI up = shorted opened = bearish
Price down, OI down = longs closed = bearish on HTF, or counter-trade on LTF
I find the indicator useful on 1-minute charts to identify liquidations and compare perp v.s. spot patterns.
Trade Tool VDWMA + OI RSI BasedThis indicator works only for symbols where open interest data is available.
The idea was to create a combination of Volume Delta, Open Interest, RSI, Moving Average and Support / Resistance as a unified tool.
I created a Weighted Moving Average based on the Volume Delta (VDWMA). The idea behind this was to reflect the moving average on the difference between buy and sell volume.
There are two VDWMA to determine a trend. Fast and Slow. The principle is the same as with conventional moving averages. For visualization, the candles are colored based on the following logic:
up trend = Fast VDWMA is above the Slow VDWMA and the price is above the Fast VWDWMA.
down Trend = Fast VDWMA is below the Slow VDWMA and the Short is below the Fast VDWMA
Further, support and resistance zones were defined based on the close and high prices as well as close and low prices.
A simple logic looks for divergences between RSI and price to generate first signals for possible price reversals.
Another RSI was created based on the open interest.
In combination with the conventional RSI, oversold and overbought zones were defined based on the following logic, which are marked by vertical zones on the chart.
Oversold zone = RSI is below 30 and OI RSI is above 70 or below 30 and OI opening is not greater than OI closing price
Overbought zone = RSI is above 70 and OI RSI is above 70 or below 30 and OI opening is not smaller than OI closing price
Based on this, buy and sell signals were defined.
First, the support or resistance zone must remain the same for two candles, which signals that the zone has not been breached. In addition, a divergence must occur in the RSI and the price must bounce.
newsell = resistance == resistance and high >= resistance and close < resistance and bearishDiv
newbull = support == support and low <= support and close > support and bullishDiv
The OI signaling was deliberately not included as well as the trend function. The tool should be suitable for scalping as well as for swinging. Thus, depending on the tradestyle itself to decide which points you want to trade.
Have fun with it
Multi-Asset Performance [Spaghetti] - By LeviathanThis indicator visualizes the cumulative percentage changes or returns of 30 symbols over a given period and offers a unique set of tools and data analytics for deeper insight into the performance of different assets.
Multi Asset Performance indicator (also called “Spaghetti”) makes it easy to monitor the changes in Price, Open Interest, and On Balance Volume across multiple assets simultaneously, distinguish assets that are overperforming or underperforming, observe the relative strength of different assets or currencies, use it as a tool for identifying mean reversion opportunities and even for constructing pairs trading strategies, detect "risk-on" or "risk-off" periods, evaluate statistical relationships between assets through metrics like correlation and beta, construct hedging strategies, trade rotations and much more.
Start by selecting a time period (e.g., 1 DAY) to set the interval for when data is reset. This will provide insight into how price, open interest, and on-balance volume change over your chosen period. In the settings, asset selection is fully customizable, allowing you to create three groups of up to 30 tickers each. These tickers can be displayed in a variety of styles and colors. Additional script settings offer a range of options, including smoothing values with a Simple Moving Average (SMA), highlighting the top or bottom performers, plotting the group mean, applying heatmap/gradient coloring, generating a table with calculations like beta, correlation, and RSI, creating a profile to show asset distribution around the mean, and much more.
One of the most important script tools is the screener table, which can display:
🔸 Percentage Change (Represents the return or the percentage increase or decrease in Price/OI/OBV over the current selected period)
🔸 Beta (Represents the sensitivity or responsiveness of asset's returns to the returns of a benchmark/mean. A beta of 1 means the asset moves in tandem with the market. A beta greater than 1 indicates the asset is more volatile than the market, while a beta less than 1 indicates the asset is less volatile. For example, a beta of 1.5 means the asset typically moves 150% as much as the benchmark. If the benchmark goes up 1%, the asset is expected to go up 1.5%, and vice versa.)
🔸 Correlation (Describes the strength and direction of a linear relationship between the asset and the mean. Correlation coefficients range from -1 to +1. A correlation of +1 means that two variables are perfectly positively correlated; as one goes up, the other will go up in exact proportion. A correlation of -1 means they are perfectly negatively correlated; as one goes up, the other will go down in exact proportion. A correlation of 0 means that there is no linear relationship between the variables. For example, a correlation of 0.5 between Asset A and Asset B would suggest that when Asset A moves, Asset B tends to move in the same direction, but not perfectly in tandem.)
🔸 RSI (Measures the speed and change of price movements and is used to identify overbought or oversold conditions of each asset. The RSI ranges from 0 to 100 and is typically used with a time period of 14. Generally, an RSI above 70 indicates that an asset may be overbought, while RSI below 30 signals that an asset may be oversold.)
⚙️ Settings Overview:
◽️ Period
Periodic inputs (e.g. daily, monthly, etc.) determine when the values are reset to zero and begin accumulating again until the period is over. This visualizes the net change in the data over each period. The input "Visible Range" is auto-adjustable as it starts the accumulation at the leftmost bar on your chart, displaying the net change in your chart's visible range. There's also the "Timestamp" option, which allows you to select a specific point in time from where the values are accumulated. The timestamp anchor can be dragged to a desired bar via Tradingview's interactive option. Timestamp is particularly useful when looking for outperformers/underperformers after a market-wide move. The input positioned next to the period selection determines the timeframe on which the data is based. It's best to leave it at default (Chart Timeframe) unless you want to check the higher timeframe structure of the data.
◽️ Data
The first input in this section determines the data that will be displayed. You can choose between Price, OI, and OBV. The second input lets you select which one out of the three asset groups should be displayed. The symbols in the asset group can be modified in the bottom section of the indicator settings.
◽️ Appearance
You can choose to plot the data in the form of lines, circles, areas, and columns. The colors can be selected by choosing one of the six pre-prepared color palettes.
◽️ Labeling
This input allows you to show/hide the labels and select their appearance and size. You can choose between Label (colored pointed label), Label and Line (colored pointed label with a line that connects it to the plot), or Text Label (colored text).
◽️ Smoothing
If selected, this option will smooth the values using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with a custom length. This is used to reduce noise and improve the visibility of plotted data.
◽️ Highlight
If selected, this option will highlight the top and bottom N (custom number) plots, while shading the others. This makes the symbols with extreme values stand out from the rest.
◽️ Group Mean
This input allows you to select the data that will be considered as the group mean. You can choose between Group Average (the average value of all assets in the group) or First Ticker (the value of the ticker that is positioned first on the group's list). The mean is then used in calculations such as correlation (as the second variable) and beta (as a benchmark). You can also choose to plot the mean by clicking on the checkbox.
◽️ Profile
If selected, the script will generate a vertical volume profile-like display with 10 zones/nodes, visualizing the distribution of assets below and above the mean. This makes it easy to see how many or what percentage of assets are outperforming or underperforming the mean.
◽️ Gradient
If selected, this option will color the plots with a gradient based on the proximity of the value to the upper extreme, zero, and lower extreme.
◽️ Table
This section includes several settings for the table's appearance and the data displayed in it. The "Reference Length" input determines the number of bars back that are used for calculating correlation and beta, while "RSI Length" determines the length used for calculating the Relative Strength Index. You can choose the data that should be displayed in the table by using the checkboxes.
◽️ Asset Groups
This section allows you to modify the symbols that have been selected to be a part of the 3 asset groups. If you want to change a symbol, you can simply click on the field and type the ticker of another one. You can also show/hide a specific asset by using the checkbox next to the field.
Dynamic Liquidity Map [Kioseff Trading]Hello!
Just a quick/fun project here: "Dynamic Heatmap".
This script draws a volume delta or open interest delta heatmap for the asset on your chart.
The adjective "Dynamic" is used for two reasons (:
1: Self-Adjusting Lower Timeframe Data
The script requests ~10 lower timeframe volume and open interest data sets.
When using the fixed range feature the script will, beginning at the start time, check the ~10 requested lower timeframes to see which of the lower timeframes has available data.
The script will always use the lowest timeframe available during the calculation period. As time continues, the script will continue to check if new lower timeframe data (lower than the currently used lowest timeframe) is available. This process repeats until bar time is close enough to the current time that 1-minute data can be retrieved.
The image above exemplifies the process.
Incrementally lower timeframe data will be used as it becomes available.
1: Fixed range capabilities
The script features a "fixed range" tool, where you can manually set a start time (or drag & drop a bar on the chart) to determine the interval the heatmap covers.
From the start date, the script will calculate the calculate the sub-intervals necessary to draw a rows x columns heatmap. Consequently, setting the start time further back will draw a heat map with larger rows x columns, whereas, a start time closer to the current bar time will draw a more "precise" heatmap with smaller rows x columns.
Additionally, the heatmap can be calculated using open interest data.
The image above shows the heatmap displaying open interest delta.
The image above shows alternative settings for the heatmap.
Delta values have been hidden alongside grid border colors. These settings can be replicated to achieve a more "traditional" feel for the heatmap.

Open Interest RSIThis indicator started as an experiment.
It is an RSI which is not based on the price but on the open interest.
It captures the momentum of the open interest in the same way as the RSI of the price.
Rules Open Interest (OI):
If the OI rises and the price rises = Bullish trend.
If the OI falls and the price continues to rise = bearish reversal possible
If the OI falls and the price continues to fall = Bullish reversal possible
If the OI rises and the price falls = Bearish trend
Since the OI RSI captures the momentum of the OI, it is recommended to include the price RSI for the analysis.
In the picture are marked different examples which show extreme situations
Example rose lines:
The price RSI and the OI RSI form a bearish divergence to the price and run parallel = strong bearish signal.
Example orange circles:
Price Falling. The price RSI is in the oversold zone and the OI RSI is above 53 or in the best case in the overbought zone. = Strong bullish signal
Example Blue circle:
The price RSI and the OI RSI are running parallel downwards and the price is also falling = bearish momentum.
As mentioned, this is an experiment. The tests were performed in the 4H chart

Open interest flow / quantifytools- Overview
Open interest flow detects inflows (positions opening) and outflows (positions closing) using open interest and estimates delta (net buyers/sellers) for the flows. Users are able to choose any open interest source available on Tradingview, by default set to BTCUSDT OI fetched from Binance. Using historical open interest flows, bands depicting typical magnitude of flows are formed for benchmarking intensity of flows. On the inflow side, +1 represents average inflows while +2 represents 2x above average inflows, a level considered an extreme. In a vice versa manner, -1 represents average outflows while -2 represents 2x above average outflows. Extreme inflows indicate aggressive position opening, in other words exuberance. Extreme outflows on the other hand indicate forced exiting of positions, in other words liquidations.
- Concept
Open interest flow is calculated using position of OI source relative to its moving average (by default set to SMA 10), referred to as relative open interest from hereon. When relative OI is positive (open interest is above its moving average), new positions are considered to enter the market. When relative OI is negative (open interest is below its moving average), existing positions are considered to exit the market. Open interest delta (side opening/closing positions, either net buyers/sellers) is calculated using relative price in a similar fashion to relative OI, but using close of viewed symbol as source. Price is considered to be up when relative price is positive, down when relative price is negative. Using relative OI and relative price in tandem, the following assumptions are applied:
Price up, open interest up = longs entering market
Price down, open interest up = shorts entering market
Price down, open interest down = longs exiting market
Price up, open interest down = shorts exiting market
Bands depicting magnitude of open interest flows are calculated using average turning points in relative OI. +1 and -1 represent levels where flows on average turn towards mean rather than continue to increase/decrease. These levels are then multiplied up to +2 and -2, representing two times larger deviations from the normal. When inflows are above 1, positions opening have reached a point where flows historically turn down. Therefore, anything above 1 would be abnormal amount of open interest entering, an extreme stretch being at 2 or above. Same logic applies to outflows, but in a vice versa manner (below -1 abnormal, extreme at -2)
Flow bursts further refine indications of aggressive inflows/outflows by taking into account change in open interest flows. Burst indications are activated when open interest is above its average turning point, coupled with a sufficient increase/decrease in flows simultaneously. Bursts are essentially a filtered version of abnormal flows and therefore a more reliable indication of exuberance/liquidations. Burst sensitivity can be adjusted via input menu, available in 5 settings. 1 sets OI burst requirements to loosest (more signals, more noise) while 5 sets OI burst requirements to strictest (less signals, less noise). Exact criteria applied to bursts can be viewed via input menu tooltip.
- Features
Users can opt for OI source auto-select for CRYPTO/USDT pairs. When auto-select is enabled and another chart is opened, corresponding open interest source is automatically selected as long as requirements mentioned above are met.
Open interest flows can be visualized as chart color, available separately for flow states and flow bursts.
Relative price line and flow guidelines (reminders for flow interpretation) can be enabled via input menu. All colors are customizable.
- Alerts
Available alerts are the following:
- Abnormal long inflows/outflows
- Abnormal short inflows/outflows
- Abnormal inflows/outflows from either side
- Aggressive longs/shorts (flow burst up)
- Liquidated longs/shorts (flow burst down)
- Aggressive or liquidated longs/shorts
- Practical guide
Open interest as a standalone data point does not reveal which side is likely opening/exiting positions and how extreme the participant behavior is. Using the additional data provided by open interest flows, moments of greed and fear can be detected. Smart money does not short into dips and buy into rips. When buyers or sellers have participated in a large move and continue to show interest even when efforts are not rewarded at an already overextended price, participants are asking for trouble.
Similar events can be observed when extreme outflows take place, indicating forced exits such as stop-losses triggering. When enough participants are forced out, price is likely to take the path of least resistance which is to the opposite direction.
Open Interest Chart [LuxAlgo]The Open Interest Chart displays Commitments of Traders %change of futures open interest , with a unique circular plotting technique, inspired from this publication Periodic Ellipses .
🔶 USAGE
Open interest represents the total number of contracts that have been entered by market participants but have not yet been offset or delivered. This can be a direct indicator of market activity/liquidity, with higher open interest indicating a more active market.
Increasing open interest is highlighted in green on the circular plot, indicating money coming into the market, while decreasing open interests highlighted in red indicates money coming out of the market.
You can set up to 6 different Futures Open interest tickers for a quick follow up:
🔶 DETAILS
Circles are drawn, using plot() , with the functions createOuterCircle() (for the largest circle) and createInnerCircle() (for inner circles).
Following snippet will reload the chart, so the circles will remain at the right side of the chart:
if ta.change(chart.left_visible_bar_time ) or
ta.change(chart.right_visible_bar_time)
n := bar_index
Here is a snippet which will draw a 39-bars wide circle that will keep updating its position to the right.
//@version=5
indicator("")
n = bar_index
barsTillEnd = last_bar_index - n
if ta.change(chart.left_visible_bar_time ) or
ta.change(chart.right_visible_bar_time)
n := bar_index
createOuterCircle(radius) =>
var int end = na
var int start = na
var basis = 0.
barsFromNearestEdgeCircle = 0.
barsTillEndFromCircleStart = radius
startCylce = barsTillEnd % barsTillEndFromCircleStart == 0 // start circle
bars = ta.barssince(startCylce)
barsFromNearestEdgeCircle := barsTillEndFromCircleStart -1
basis := math.min(startCylce ? -1 : basis + 1 / barsFromNearestEdgeCircle * 2, 1) // 0 -> 1
shape = math.sqrt(1 - basis * basis)
rad = radius / 2
isOK = barsTillEnd <= barsTillEndFromCircleStart and barsTillEnd > 0
hi = isOK ? (rad + shape * radius) - rad : na
lo = isOK ? (rad - shape * radius) - rad : na
start := barsTillEnd == barsTillEndFromCircleStart ? n -1 : start
end := barsTillEnd == 0 ? start + radius : end
= createOuterCircle(40)
plot(h), plot(l)
🔶 LIMITATIONS
Due to the inability to draw between bars, from time to time, drawings can be slightly off.
Bar-replay can be demanding, since it has to reload on every bar progression. We don't recommend using this script on bar-replay. If you do, please choose the lowest speed and from time to time pause bar-replay for a second. You'll see the script gets reloaded.
🔶 SETTINGS

Biddles OIWAP-Price SpreadThis indicator is the companion to my OIWAP (Open Interested-Weighted Average price) open source indicator.
In observing the OIWAP, what seemed most interesting was the distance between price and OIWAP.
This indicator plots that spread in a histogram.
It seems when price is too high above all OIWAPs, it's locally overbought (sentiment is overly bullish), and vice versa when it's too far below all OIWAPs (sentiment is overly bearish).
But I think there are more unique observations to be made beyond that - I am still in discovery phase myself.
For example: Looking at the SPX while using the ticker override to display BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P OI-Price spread data.
It works on any asset that Tradingview has OI data for. But it's also interesting to view correlated assets by using ticker override in the indicator settings (open the correlated asset w/o OI data in your chart, then set ticker override to a symbol with OI data, like the SPX example above).

Open Interest Suite [Aggregated] - By LeviathanThis script is an all-in-one indicator that uses aggregated Open Interest data to plot OI candles, Open Interest Delta, OI x rVOL, and OI RSI. It also includes tools such as an OI Distribution profile, large OI increase/decrease coloring, a Stats Screener, and much more.
You can select and have the script plot the following:
- Open Interest in the form of OHLC candles
- Open Interest Delta in the form of a histogram
- Open Interest x Relative Volume in the form of a histogram
- Open Interest RSI in the form of a line
Additional features include:
- OI Distribution Profile (It shows the distribution of open interest in the visible range on y axis. This makes it easier to identify when Open Interest is relatively high or low and at which values most of the action took place)
- Stats screener (The screener includes the real-time net Open Interest value, Rekt Longs/Rekt Shorts based on large OI decreases and Aggressive Longs/Shorts based on large OI increases)
- Coloring (You can color OI Delta nodes, background and chart candles based on large OI increases/decreases)
- more
Instructions for the settings will be provided in the tooltips shortly.
Full credit goes to @KioseffTrading for the profile generation code.
Open Interest Profile [Fixed Range] - By LeviathanThis script generates an aggregated Open Interest profile for any user-selected range and provides several other features and tools, such as OI Delta Profile, Positive Delta Levels, OI Heatmap, Range Levels, OIWAP, POC and much more.
The indicator will help you find levels of interest based on where other market participants are opening and closing their positions. This provides a deeper insight into market activity and serves as a foundation for various different trading strategies (trapped traders, supply and demand, support and resistance, liquidity gaps, imbalances,liquidation levels, etc). Additionally, this indicator can be used in conjunction with other tools such as Volume Profile.
Open Interest (OI) is a key metric in derivatives markets that refers to the total number of unsettled or open contracts. A contract is a mutual agreement between two parties to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price. Each contract consists of a long side and a short side, with one party consenting to buy (long) and the other agreeing to sell (short). The party holding the long position will profit from an increase in the asset's price, while the one holding the short position will profit from the price decline. Every long position opened requires a corresponding short position by another market participant, and vice versa. Although there might be an imbalance in the number of accounts or traders holding long and short contracts, the net value of positions held on each side remains balanced at a 1:1 ratio. For instance, an Open Interest of 100 BTC implies that there are currently 100 BTC worth of longs and 100 BTC worth of shorts open in the market. There might be more traders on one side holding smaller positions, and fewer on the other side with larger positions, but the net value of positions on both sides is equivalent - 100 BTC in longs and 100 BTC in shorts (1:1). Consider a scenario where a trader decides to open a long position for 1 BTC at a price of $30k. For this long order to be executed, a counterparty must take the opposite side of the contract by placing a short order for 1 BTC at the same price of $30k. When both long and short orders are matched and executed, the Open Interest increases by 1 BTC, indicating the introduction of this new contract to the market.
The meaning of fluctuations in Open Interest:
- OI Increase - signifies new positions entering the market (both longs and shorts).
- OI Decrease - indicates positions exiting the market (both longs and shorts).
- OI Flat - represents no change in open positions due to low activity or a large number of contract transfers (contracts changing hands instead of being closed).
Typically, we monitor Open Interest in the form of its running value, either on a chart or through OI Delta histograms that depict the net change in OI for each price bar. This indicator enhances Open Interest analysis by illustrating the distribution of changes in OI on the price axis rather than the time axis (akin to Volume Profiles). While Volume Profile displays the volume that occurred at a given price level, the Open Interest Profile offers insight into where traders were opening and closing their positions.
How to use the indicator?
1. Add the script to your chart
2. A prompt will appear, asking you to select the “Start Time” (start of the range) and the “End Time” (end of the range) by clicking anywhere on your chart.
3. Within a few seconds, a profile will be generated. If you wish to alter the selected range, you can drag the "Start Time" and "End Time" markers accordingly.
4. Enjoy the script and feel free to explore all the settings.
To learn more about each input in indicator settings, please read the provided tooltips. These can be accessed by hovering over or clicking on the ( i ) symbol next to the input.
TTP OI + LS signal filterThis oscillator helps filtering specific conditions in the market based on open interest (OI) and the ratio of longs and shorts (LS) for crypto assets.
Currently it works with BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P but soon I'll be adding support for more assets.
It flags areas of interest like:
- Too many longs, too many shorts in the market
- Open interest too high or too low
It accepts an external signal as a source in which case filters can be applied to the original signal. For example the external signal might trigger and plot a 1 when RSI break below 70. By connecting such signal with this oscillator you'll be able to only pass-through the ones that occur when any of the areas of interest mentioned above are also valid.
If both filter are applied it acts as an OR. For example, if too many longs and too many shorts are active, it will pass through the signal in either condition.
The results of the original signal filtered is printed to be able to later use it in any external backtester strategy that accepts external sources too.
If external source signal is disabled it will trigger any time the combined filters are returning true.
Open interest and the ratio of longs/shorts is considered too high whenever the stochastic RSI calculation of the OI or ratio LS reaches a level above 80 and too low when below 20
The ratio of long/shorts is calculated by dividing the ratio of longs vs shorts from BITFINEX:BTCUSDLONGS and BITFINEX:BTCUSDSHORTS
Biddles OI Weighted Average PriceAhoy!
This script calculates Open Interested Weighted Average Price for the following lookback periods:
- 7, 30, 60
e.g. On the 1D chart, you will see OIWAP for the past 7, 30, and 60 days. It works on any timeframe though.
It works with any ticker that TV's OI indicator supports, and has ticker override if you are looking at an exchange that's unsupported, but for an asset that is.
e.g. If you're looking at Bybit's BTCUSDT.P which is unsupported- you can override to get OI data from Binance's BTCUSDT.P which is supported.
=====
Open-Sourced + Crowd Sourcing Goals
=====
I am open sourcing this in hopes we can work together to find interesting signal/observation, and make the script better.
The only way I could think of to calculate the OIWAP for the lookback periods was to manually factor in each period in the formula.
e.g. For the 60-period lookback, it's manually taking price and OI for each individual period.
I am also hoping other folks will make interesting observations.
With the few hours I've spent thus far, they seem to operate much like MA bands, with crossovers having similar implications.
But I feel like there are many other observations left unnoticed!
If you find any, hmu on twitter: @thalamu_
=====
Interesting Calculations in the Script, but not Plotted on the Chart
=====
There are calculations for up to 60 days of OIWAP taking change in OI rather than just OI.
There's one set for absolute value of change in OI, and one set for raw change in OI.
I didn't notice anything spectacularly interesting - but perhaps you will if you tinker with it!
