Crypto Leverage Index(OI Norm. + FR)Crypto Leverage Index (OI Z-Score + Funding Rate Signals)
(A tool for detecting speculative extremes and leverage load in crypto derivatives markets.)
Hello, fellow traders around the globe!
In today's crypto futures market, often perceived as a 'playground for large players' (whales/smart money), catching extreme leverage behavior is crucial for survival. I wanted to come up with an indicator to quickly identify such market extremes by focusing on the two most potent indicators of leveraged action: Open Interest (OI) and Funding Rate (FR). The goal is to ride on the shoulders of the market movers by anticipating their next liquidity-driven actions. hope this helps.
❗ IMPORTANT NOTE: This indicator works exclusively on Perpetual Futures or Swap Charts that provide Open Interest (OI) data.
⚪ Overview
This indicator provides a standardized view of speculative activity by calculating the Open Interest (OI) Z-Score . This score reveals when the current level of open leverage is abnormally high (premium) or low (discount) relative to its historical mean and volatility. The index is also augmented with Extreme Funding Rate Signals , which plot simple White Dots on the chart when derivative positioning (long or short bias) reaches an unsustainable, overheated level. The combination of OI volume and positioning bias offers a good method to identify potential market reversal zones driven by leverage liquidation risks (short/long squeezes).
⚪ Score Components
Open Interest Z-Score (Leverage Load)
The primary component standardizes the Open Interest value over a defined lookback `Period` (default 50). This calculation reveals the statistical deviation of current leverage from the norm.
OI Z-Score = (OI - Mean(OI)) / StDev(OI)
Funding Rate (Positioning Bias)
Calculates the approximate funding rate using a TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) of the Perpetual Futures Premium, combined with the standard 0.01% Interest Rate.
⚪ Extreme Condition Detection
OI Z-Score Extremes
* Premium Zone (Red Fill) : OI Z-Score is above the user-defined `Threshold` (default 2.0). Indicates high/overstretched leverage.
* Discount Zone (Green Fill) : OI Z-Score is below the user-defined negative threshold (default -2.0). Indicates low/unwinded leverage.
Funding Rate Extreme Signals (White Dots)
These appear as small White Dots ( · ) plotted at fixed levels within the indicator pane. The position indicates the bias:
* Top Dot (Excessive Longs) : Triggered when Funding Rate is greater than Abnormal Funding Rate Threshold (e.g. 0.03%). Indicates excessive Long positioning/greed and potential for a short-term reversal (Long Squeeze risk). The dot is plotted at the positive `FR Signal Plot Level`.
* Bottom Dot (Excessive Shorts) : Triggered when Funding Rate is lower than -Abnormal Funding Rate Threshold(e.g. -0.03%). Indicates excessive Short positioning/fear and potential for a short-term reversal (Short Squeeze risk). The dot is plotted at the negative `FR Signal Plot Level`.
⚪ Leverage Case Scenarios (Price, OI Dynamics & Context)
The OI Z-Score reflects the premium/discount state of *leverage* (Open Interest) , not the price. The price may not be in a premium or discount area simply because the OI is. OI only indicates the volume of outstanding futures positions. You must observe price action and candlestick patterns alongside the OI movements to determine the true contextual hint. Understanding the relationship between price and Open Interest (OI) change is key to interpreting market movements. The cases listed below represent the most common and thinkable patterns, but do not exhaust all possible market behaviors.
1. Long Build-Up (Price ▲, OI ▲): New long positions enter, confirming the rising trend.
2. Short Build-Up (Price ▼, OI ▲): New short positions enter, confirming the falling trend. Due to the inherently long-biased nature of the crypto market, this scenario is less frequently observed than Long Build-Up.
3. Long Covering/liquidation (Price ▼, OI ▼): Existing longs are closed/liquidated. This activity usually results from Panic Selling or forced long liquidation.
4. Short Covering (Price ▲, OI ▼): Existing shorts are forced to close (Short Squeeze).
5. Long Trap (Price ▲, OI ▲ or ▼): Price rises, but OI suggests new positioning that might be trapping longs. Bearish candle pattern can be often shown with the sweep.
6. Short Trap (Price ▼, OI ▲ or ▼): Warning Sign - Price falls, but OI suggests new positioning that might be trapping shorts.
⚪ Key Input Parameters
OI Z-Score
* Period (Default: 50)
Determines how many recent bars are used to calculate the rolling mean and volatility (standard deviation) of the Open Interest data.
* Z-Score Threshold (Default: 2.0)
The critical level that the OI Z-Score must cross to be considered 'extreme' (overstretched leverage).
Funding Rate
* Abnormal FR Threshold (Default: 0.03)
The absolute percentage value (e.g., 0.03%) that the Funding Rate must exceed or fall below to trigger an extreme signal dot.
* FR Signal Plot Level (Default: 4.0)
Sets the fixed vertical position (Y-level) on the Z-Score chart where the Funding Rate signal dots will appear. (e.g., 4.0 plots the dot at the Z-Score +-4.0 level).

Open Interest Z-Score [BackQuant]Open Interest Z-Score
A standardized pressure gauge for futures positioning that turns multi venue open interest into a Z score, so you can see how extreme current positioning is relative to its own history and where leverage is stretched, decompressing, or quietly re loading.
What this is
This indicator builds a single synthetic open interest series by aggregating futures OI across major derivatives venues, then standardises that aggregated OI into a rolling Z score. Instead of looking at raw OI or a simple change, you get a normalized signal that says "how many standard deviations away from normal is positioning right now", with optional smoothing, reference bands, and divergence detection against price.
You can render the Z score in several plotting modes:
Line for a clean, classic oscillator.
Colored line that encodes both sign and momentum of OI Z.
Oscillator histogram that makes impulses and compressions obvious.
The script also includes:
Aggregated open interest across Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, and Deribit, using multiple contract suffixes where applicable.
Choice of OI units, either coin based or converted to USD notional.
Standard deviation reference lines and adaptive extreme bands.
A flexible smoothing layer with multiple moving average types.
Automatic detection of regular and hidden divergences between price and OI Z.
Alerts for zero line and ±2 sigma crosses.
Aggregated open interest source
At the core is the same multi venue OI aggregation engine as in the OI RSI tool, adapted from NoveltyTrade's work and extended for this use case. The indicator:
Anchors on the current chart symbol and its base currency.
Loops over a set of exchanges, gated by user toggles:
Binance.
Bybit.
OKX.
Bitget.
Kraken.
HTX.
Deribit.
For each exchange, loops over several contract suffixes such as USDT.P, USD.P, USDC.P, USD.PM to cover the common perp and margin styles.
Requests OI candles for each exchange plus suffix pair into a small custom OI type that carries open, high, low and close of open interest.
Converts each OI stream into a common unit via the sw method:
In COIN mode, OI is normalized relative to the coin.
In USD mode, OI is scaled by price to approximate notional.
Exchange specific scaling factors are applied where needed to match contract multipliers.
Accumulates all valid OI candles into a single combined OI "candle" by summing open, high, low and close across venues.
The result is oiClose , a synthetic close for aggregated OI that represents cross venue positioning. If there is no valid OI data for the symbol after this process, the script throws a clear runtime error so you know the market is unsupported rather than quietly plotting nonsense.
How the Z score is computed
Once the aggregated OI close is available, the indicator computes a rolling Z score over a configurable lookback:
Define subject as the aggregated OI close.
Compute a rolling mean of this subject with EMA over Z Score Lookback Period .
Compute a rolling standard deviation over the same length.
Subtract the mean from the current OI and divide by the standard deviation.
This gives a raw Z score:
oi_z_raw = (subject − mean) ÷ stdDev .
Instead of plotting this raw value directly, the script passes it through a smoothing layer:
You pick a Smoothing Type and Smoothing Period .
Choices include SMA, HMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, RMA, linear regression, ALMA, TEMA, and T3.
The helper ma function applies the chosen smoother to the raw Z score.
The result is oi_z , a smoothed Z score of aggregated open interest. A separate EMA with EMA Period is then applied on oi_z to create a signal line ma that can be used for crossovers and trend reads.
Plotting modes
The Plotting Type input controls how this Z score is rendered:
1) Line
In line mode:
The smoothed OI Z score is plotted as a single line using Base Line Color .
The EMA overlay is optionally plotted if Show EMA is enabled.
This is the cleanest view when you want to treat OI Z like a standard oscillator, watching for zero line crosses, swings, and divergences.
2) Colored Line
Colored line mode adds conditional color logic to the Z score:
If the Z score is above zero and rising, it is bright green, representing positive and strengthening positioning pressure.
If the Z score is above zero and falling, it shifts to a cooler cyan, representing positive but weakening pressure.
If the Z score is below zero and falling, it is bright red, representing negative and strengthening pressure (growing net de risking or shorting).
If the Z score is below zero and rising, it is dark red, representing negative but recovering pressure.
This mapping makes it easy to see not only whether OI is above or below its historical mean, but also whether that deviation is intensifying or fading.
3) Oscillator
Oscillator mode turns the Z score into a histogram:
The smoothed Z score is plotted as vertical columns around zero.
Column colors use the same conditional palette as colored line mode, based on sign and change direction.
The histogram base is zero, so bars extend up into positive Z and down into negative Z.
Oscillator mode is useful when you care about impulses in positioning, for example sharp jumps into positive Z that coincide with fast builds in leverage, or deep spikes into negative Z that show aggressive flushes.
4) None
If you only want reference lines, extreme bands, divergences, or alerts without the base oscillator, you can set plotting to None and keep the rest of the tooling active.
The EMA overlay respects plotting mode and only appears when a visible Z score line or histogram is present.
Reference lines and standard deviation levels
The Select Reference Lines input offers two styles:
Standard Deviation Levels
Plots small markers at zero.
Draws thin horizontal lines at +1, +2, −1 and −2 Z.
Acts like a classic Z score ladder, zero as mean, ±1 as normal band, ±2 as outer band.
This mode is ideal if you want a textbook statistical framing, using ±1 and ±2 sigma as standard levels for "normal" versus "extended" positioning.
Extreme Bands
Extreme bands build on the same ±1 and ±2 lines, then add:
Upper outer band between +3 and +4 Z.
Lower outer band between −3 and −4 Z.
Dynamic fill colors inside these bands:
If the Z score is positive, the upper band fill turns red with an alpha that scales with the magnitude of |Z|, capped at a chosen max strength. Stronger deviations towards +4 produce more opaque red fills.
If the Z score is negative, the lower band fill turns green with the same adaptive alpha logic, highlighting deep negative deviations.
Opposite side bands remain a faint neutral white when not in use, so they still provide structural context without shouting.
This creates a visual "danger zone" for position crowding. When the Z score enters these outer bands, open interest is many standard deviations away from its mean and you are dealing with rare but highly loaded positioning states.
Z score as a positioning pressure gauge
Because this is a Z score of aggregated open interest, it measures how unusual current positioning is relative to its own recent history, not just whether OI is rising or falling:
Z near zero means total OI is roughly in line with normal conditions for your lookback window.
Positive Z means OI is above its recent mean. The further above zero, the more "crowded" or extended positioning is.
Negative Z means OI is below its recent mean. Deep negatives often mark post flush environments where leverage has been cleared and the market is under positioned.
The smoothing options help control how much noise you want in the signal:
Short Z score lookback and short smoothing will react quickly, suited for short term traders watching intraday positioning shocks.
Longer Z score lookback with smoother MA types (EMA, RMA, T3) give a slower, more structural view of where the crowd sits over days to weeks.
Divergences between price and OI Z
The indicator includes automatic divergence detection on the Z score versus price, using pivot highs and lows:
You configure Pivot Lookback Left and Pivot Lookback Right to control swing sensitivity.
Pivots are detected on the OI Z series.
For each eligible pivot, the script compares OI Z and price at the last two pivots.
It looks for four patterns:
Regular Bullish – price makes a lower low, OI Z makes a higher low. This can indicate selling exhaustion in positioning even as price washes out. These are marked with a line and a label "ℝ" below the oscillator, in the bullish color.
Hidden Bullish – price makes a higher low, OI Z makes a lower low. This suggests continuation potential where price holds up while positioning resets. Marked with "ℍ" in the bullish color.
Regular Bearish – price makes a higher high, OI Z makes a lower high. This is a classic warning sign of trend exhaustion, where price pushes higher while OI Z fails to confirm. Marked with "ℝ" in the bearish color.
Hidden Bearish – price makes a lower high, OI Z makes a higher high. This is often seen in pullbacks within downtrends, where price retraces but positioning stretches again in the direction of the prevailing move. Marked with "ℍ" in the bearish color.
Each divergence type can be toggled globally via Show Detected Divergences . Internally, the script restricts how far back it will connect pivots, so you do not get stray signals linking very old structures to current bars.
Trading applications
Crowding and squeeze risk
Z scores are a natural way to talk about crowding:
High positive Z in aggregated OI means the market is running high leverage compared to its own norm. If price is also extended, the risk of a squeeze or sharp unwind rises.
Deep negative Z means leverage has been cleaned out. While it can be painful to sit through, this environment often sets up cleaner new trends, since there is less one sided positioning to unwind.
The extreme bands at ±3 to ±4 highlight the rare states where crowding is most intense. You can treat these events as regime markers rather than day to day noise.
Trend confirmation and fade selection
Combine Z score with price and trend:
Bull trends with positive and rising Z are supported by fresh leverage, usually more persistent.
Bull trends with flat or falling Z while price keeps grinding up can be more fragile. Divergences and extreme bands can help identify which edges you do not want to fade and which you might.
In downtrends, deep negative Z that stays pinned can mean persistent de risking. Once the Z score starts to mean revert back toward zero, it can mark the early stages of stabilization.
Event and liquidation context
Around major events, you often see:
Rapid spikes in Z as traders rush to position.
Reversal and overshoot as liquidations and forced de risking clear the book.
A move from positive extremes through zero into negative extremes as the market transitions from crowded to under exposed.
The Z score makes that path obvious, especially in oscillator mode, where you see a block of high positive bars before the crash, then a slab of deep negative bars after the flush.

Notes
This indicator does not rely on price based oscillators. It is a statistical lens on cross venue open interest, which makes it a complementary tool rather than a replacement for your existing price or volume signals. Use it to:
Quantify how unusual current futures positioning is compared to recent history.
Identify crowded leverage phases that can fuel squeezes.
Spot structural divergences between price and positioning.
Frame risk and opportunity around events and regime shifts.
It is not a complete trading system. Combine it with your own entries, exits and risk rules to get the most out of what the Z score is telling you about positioning pressure under the hood of the market.
Open Interest RSI [BackQuant]Open Interest RSI
A multi-venue open interest oscillator that aggregates OI across major derivatives exchanges, converts it to coin or USD terms, and runs an RSI-style engine on that aggregated OI so you can track positioning pressure, crowding, and mean reversion in leverage flows, not just in price.
What this is
This tool is an RSI built on top of aggregated open interest instead of price. It pulls futures OI from several major exchanges, converts it into a unified unit (COIN or USD), sums it into a single synthetic OI candle, then applies RSI and smoothing to that combined series.
You can then render that Open Interest RSI in different visual modes:
Clean line or colored line for classic oscillator-style reads.
Column-style oscillator for impulse and compression views.
Flag mode that fills between OI RSI and its EMA for trend/mean reversion blends. See:
Heatmap mode that paints the panel based on OI RSI extremes, ideal for scanning. See:
On top of that it includes:
Aggregated OI source selection (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, Deribit).
Choice of OI units (COIN or USD).
Reference lines and OB/OS zones.
Extreme highlighting for either trend or mean reversion.
A vertical OI RSI meter that acts as a quick strength gauge.
Aggregated open interest source
Under the hood, the indicator builds a synthetic open interest candle by:
Looping over a list of supported exchanges: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, Deribit.
Looping over multiple contract suffixes (such as USDT.P, USD.P, USDC.P, USD.PM) to capture different contract types on each venue.
Requesting OI candles from each venue + contract combination for the same underlying symbol.
Converting each OI stream into a common unit: In COIN mode, everything is normalized into coin-denominated OI. In USD mode, coin OI is multiplied by price to approximate notional OI.
Summing up open, high, low and close of OI across venues into a single aggregated OI candle.
If no valid OI is available for the current symbol across all sources, the script throws a clear runtime error so you know you are on an unsupported market.
This gives you a single, exchange-agnostic open interest curve instead of being tied to one venue. That aggregated OI is then passed into the RSI logic.
How the OI RSI is calculated
The RSI side is straightforward, but it is applied to the aggregated OI close:
Compute a base RSI of aggregated OI using the Calculation Period .
Apply a simple moving average of length Smoothing Period (SMA) to reduce noise in the raw OI RSI.
Optionally apply an EMA on top of the smoothed OI RSI as a moving average signal line.
Key parameters:
Calculation Period – base RSI length for OI.
Smoothing Period (SMA) – extra smoothing on the RSI value.
EMA Period – EMA length on the smoothed OI RSI.
The result is:
oi_rsi – raw RSI of aggregated OI.
oi_rsi_s – SMA-smoothed OI RSI.
ma – EMA of the smoothed OI RSI.
Thresholds and extremes
You control three core thresholds:
Mid Point – central reference level, typically 50.
Extreme Upper Threshold – high-level OI RSI edge (for example 80).
Extreme Lower Threshold – low-level OI RSI edge (for example 20).
These thresholds are used for:
Reference lines or OB/OS zone fills.
Heatmap gradient bounds.
Background highlighting of extremes.
The Extreme Highlighting mode controls how extremes are interpreted:
None – do nothing special in extreme regions.
Mean-Rev – background turns red on high OI RSI and green on low OI RSI, framing extremes as contrarian zones.
Trend – background turns green on high OI RSI and red on low OI RSI, framing extremes as participation zones aligned with the prevailing move.
Reference lines and OB/OS zones
You can choose:
None – clean plotting without guides.
Basic Reference Lines – mid, upper and lower thresholds as simple gray horizontals.
OB/OS Levels – filled zones between:
Upper OB: from the upper threshold to 100, colored with the short/overbought color.
Lower OS: from 0 to the lower threshold, colored with the long/oversold color.
These guides help visually anchor the OI RSI within "normal" versus "extreme" regions.
Plotting modes
The Plotting Type input controls how OI RSI is drawn. All modes share the same underlying OI and RSI logic, but emphasise different aspects of the signal.
1) Line mode
This is the classic oscillator representation:
Plots the smoothed OI RSI as a simple line using RSI Line Color and RSI Line Width .
Optionally plots the EMA overlay on the same panel.
Works well when you want standard RSI-style signals on leverage flows: crosses of the midline, divergences versus price, and so on.
2) Colored Line mode
In this mode:
The OI RSI is plotted as a line, but its color is dynamic.
If the smoothed OI RSI is above the mid point, it uses the Long/OB Color .
If it is below the mid point, it uses the Short/OS Color .
This creates an instant visual regime switch between "bullish positioning pressure" and "bearish positioning pressure", while retaining the feel of a traditional RSI line.
3) Oscillator mode
Oscillator mode renders OI RSI as vertical columns around the mid level:
The smoothed OI RSI is plotted as columns using plot.style_columns .
The histogram base is fixed at 50, so bars extend above and below the mid line.
Bar color is dynamic, using long or short colors depending on which side of the mid point the value sits.
This representation makes impulse and compression in OI flows more obvious. It is especially useful when you want to focus on how quickly OI RSI is expanding or contracting around its neutral level. See:
4) Flag mode
Flag mode turns OI RSI and its EMA into a two-line band with a filled area between them:
The smoothed OI RSI and its EMA are both plotted.
A fill is drawn between them.
The fill color flips between the long color and the short color depending on whether OI RSI is above or below its EMA.
Black outlines are added to both lines to make the band clear against any background.
This creates a "flag" style region where:
Green fills show OI RSI leading its EMA, suggesting positive positioning momentum.
Red fills show OI RSI trailing below its EMA, suggesting negative positioning momentum.
Crossovers of the two lines can be read as shifts in OI momentum regime.
Flag mode is useful if you want a more structural view that combines both the level and slope behaviour of OI RSI. See:
5) Heatmap mode
Heatmap mode recasts OI RSI as a single-row gradient instead of a line:
A single row at level 1 is plotted using column style.
The color is pulled from a gradient between the lower and upper thresholds: Near the lower threshold it approaches the short/oversold color and near the upper threshold it approaches the long/overbought color.
The EMA overlay and reference lines are disabled in this mode to keep the panel clean.
This is a very compact way to track OI RSI state at a glance, especially when stacking it alongside other indicators. See:
OI RSI vertical meter
Beyond the main plot, the script can draw a small "thermometer" table showing the current OI RSI position from 0 to 100:
The meter is a two-column table with a configurable number of rows.
Row colors form an inverted gradient: red at the top (100) and green at the bottom (0).
The script clamps OI RSI between 0 and 100 and maps it to a row index.
An arrow marker "▶" is drawn next to the row corresponding to the current OI RSI value.
0 and 100 labels are printed at the ends of the scale for orientation.
You control:
Show OI RSI Meter – turn the meter on or off.
OI RSI Blocks – number of vertical blocks (granularity).
OI RSI Meter Position – panel anchor (top/bottom, left/center/right).
The meter is particularly helpful if you keep the main plot in a small panel but still want an intuitive strength gauge.
How to read it as a market pressure gauge
Because this is an RSI built on aggregated open interest, its extremes and regimes speak to positioning pressure rather than price alone:
High OI RSI (near or above the upper threshold) indicates that open interest has been increasing aggressively relative to its recent history. This often coincides with crowded leverage and a buildup of directional pressure.
Low OI RSI (near or below the lower threshold) indicates aggressive de-leveraging or closing of positions, often associated with flushes, forced unwinds or post-liquidation clean-ups.
Values around the mid point indicate more balanced positioning flows.
You can combine this with price action:
Price up with rising OI RSI suggests fresh leverage joining the move, a more persistent trend.
Price up with falling OI RSI suggests shorts covering or longs taking profit, more fragile upside.
Price down with rising OI RSI suggests aggressive new shorts or levered selling.
Price down with falling OI RSI suggests de-leveraging and potential exhaustion of the move.
Trading applications
Trend confirmation on leverage flows
Use OI RSI to confirm or question a price trend:
In an uptrend, rising OI RSI with values above the mid point indicates supportive leverage flows.
In an uptrend, repeated failures to lift OI RSI above mid point or persistent weakness suggest less committed participation.
In a downtrend, strong OI RSI on the downside points to aggressive shorting.
Mean reversion in positioning
Use thresholds and the Mean-Rev highlight mode:
When OI RSI spends extended time above the upper threshold, the crowd is extended on one side. That can set up squeeze risk in the opposite direction.
When OI RSI has been pinned low, it suggests heavy de-leveraging. Once price stabilises, a re-risking phase is often not far away.
Background colours in Mean-Rev mode help visually identify these periods.
Regime mapping with plotting modes
Different plotting modes give different perspectives:
Heatmap mode for dashboard-style use where you just need to know "hot", "neutral" or "cold" on OI flows at a glance.
Oscillator mode for short term impulses and compression reads around the mid line. See:
Flag mode for blending level and trend of OI RSI into a single banded visual. See:

Major exchages total Open interest & Long/Short OI trends📊 Indicator: Major Exchanges Total OI & Long/Short Trends
This Pine Script™ indicator is designed to provide a comprehensive analysis of Open Interest (OI) and Long/Short position trends across major cryptocurrency exchanges (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, HTX, Deribit). It serves as a powerful tool for traders seeking to understand market liquidity, participant positioning, and overall market sentiment.
🔑 Key Features and Functionalities
Aggregated Multi-Exchange Open Interest (OI):
Consolidates real-time Open Interest data from user-selected major cryptocurrency exchanges.
Provides a unified view of the total OI, offering insights into the collective market liquidity and the aggregate size of participants' open positions.
Visualized Combined OI Candles:
Presents the aggregated total OI data in a candlestick chart format.
Displays the Open, High, Low, and Close of the combined OI, with color variations indicating increases or decreases from the previous period. This enables intuitive visualization of OI trend shifts.
Estimated Long/Short OI and Visualization:
Calculates and visualizes estimated Long and Short position Open Interest based on the total aggregated OI data.
Estimation Logic:
Employs a sophisticated logic that considers both price changes and OI fluctuations to infer the balance between Long and Short positions. For instance, an increase in both price and OI may suggest an accumulation of Long positions, while a price decrease coupled with an OI increase might indicate growing Short positions.
Initial 50:50 Ratio:
The estimation for Long/Short OI begins with an assumption of a 50:50 ratio at the initial data point available for the selected timeframe. This establishes a neutral baseline, from which subsequent price and OI changes drive the divergence and evolution of the estimated Long/Short balance.
Flexible Visualization Options:
Allows users to display Long/Short OI data in either line or candlestick styles, with customizable color schemes. This flexibility aids in clearly discerning bullish or bearish positioning trends.
💡 Development Background
The development of this indicator stems from the critical importance of Open Interest data in the cryptocurrency derivatives market. Recognizing the limitations of analyzing individual exchange OI in isolation, the primary objective was to integrate data from leading exchanges to offer a holistic perspective on market sentiment and overall positioning dynamics.
The inclusion of the Long/Short position estimation feature is crucial for deciphering the specific directional biases of market participants, which is often not evident from raw OI data alone. This enables a deeper understanding of how positions are being accumulated or liquidated, moving beyond simple OI change analysis.
Furthermore, a key design consideration was to leverage the characteristic where the indicator's data start point dynamically adjusts with the chart's timeframe selection. This allows for the analysis of short-term Long/Short trends on shorter timeframes and long-term trends on longer timeframes. This inherent flexibility empowers traders to conduct analyses across various time scales, aligning with their diverse trading strategies.
🚀 Trading Applications
Leveraging Combined Open Interest (OI):
Trend Confirmation: A sustained increase in total OI signifies growing market interest and capital inflow, potentially confirming the strength of an existing trend. Conversely, decreasing OI may suggest diminishing participant interest or widespread position liquidation.
Validation of Price Extremes: If price forms a new high but OI fails to increase or declines, it could signal a potential trend reversal (divergence). Conversely, a sharp increase in OI during a price decline might indicate a surge in short positions or renewed selling pressure.
Identifying Volatility Triggers: Monitoring rapid shifts in OI during significant news events or market catalysts can help assess immediate market reactions and liquidity changes.

Assessing Market Bias: A sustained dominance or rapid increase in Long OI suggests a prevalent bullish sentiment, which could inform decisions to enter or maintain long positions. The inverse scenario indicates bearish sentiment and potential short entry opportunities.
Anticipating Squeezes: The indicator can help identify scenarios conducive to short or long squeezes. Excessive short positioning followed by a price uptick can trigger a short squeeze, leading to rapid price appreciation. Conversely, an oversupply of long positions preceding a price drop can result in a long squeeze and sharp declines.
Divergence Analysis: Divergences between price action and Long/Short OI estimates can signal potential trend reversals. For example, if price is rising but the increase in Long OI slows down or Short OI begins to grow, it may suggest weakening buying pressure.
🕔Timeframe-Specific Trend Analysis:
Shorter Timeframes (e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m): Ideal for identifying short-term shifts in participant positioning, beneficial for day trading and scalping strategies. Provides insights into immediate market reactions to price movements.
Longer Timeframes (e.g., 1h, 4h, Daily): Valuable for evaluating broader positioning trends and the sustainability or potential reversal of medium-to-long-term trends. Offers a macro perspective on Long/Short dynamics, suitable for swing trading or long-term investment strategies.
This indicator integrates complex market data, provides nuanced Long/Short position estimations, and offers multi-timeframe analytical capabilities, empowering traders to make more informed and strategic decisions.

Aggregated Open Interest Multi-Exchange (USD)This indicator aggregates Open Interest (OI) data from multiple major cryptocurrency exchanges into a single unified view in USD, using data available on TradingView. It automatically adapts to the asset you're viewing on the chart.
Features:
Aggregates OI from 7 major exchanges: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Deribit, HTX, and Coinbase
All values converted to USD - unlike native OI which shows contracts/coins
Uses only data available on TradingView platform
Automatically detects the asset from your chart (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.)
True apples-to-apples comparison across exchanges
Displays as candlesticks showing OI open, high, low, and close
Toggle exchanges on/off individually
Handles different contract types per exchange automatically
Why USD conversion matters:
Traditional OI indicators show values in contracts or crypto units, making it difficult to compare across exchanges. This indicator converts everything to USD, giving you the real dollar value of open positions across all exchanges.
How it works:
Simply add the indicator to any crypto perpetual futures chart. It will automatically fetch and aggregate OI data from all supported exchanges for that asset using TradingView's built-in data feeds, converting everything to USD.
Supported Exchanges:
Binance, Bybit, Bitget, HTX: USDT perpetuals
Deribit: BTC/ETH use USD contracts, others use USDC
OKX: Contract-based (automatically converted)
Coinbase: USDC perpetuals
Perfect for traders who want a comprehensive view of total market Open Interest in USD across exchanges using reliable TradingView data.
Order Flow RSI - Price / CVD / OIOrder Flow RSI blends three powerful market perspectives — Price , Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) , and Open Interest (OI) — into one unified RSI-style oscillator.
It reveals momentum and imbalance across these data streams and highlights situations where participation, liquidity, and positioning disagree — moments that often precede reversals.
What it does
The indicator converts:
Price → RSI (classic momentum),
CVD → RSI (buy/sell pressure balance),
OI → RSI (position expansion/contraction)
…then plots all three RSIs together on the same 0–100 scale.
A fourth Consensus RSI (average of any two or all three) can optionally be shown to simplify the view.
Core logic
CVD engine – based on TradingView’s native volume-delta request.
Modes: Continuous (default, smooth line), Anchored (resets each session), Rolling window.
Open Interest – pulled automatically from the symbol’s “_OI” feed; aligns to chart timeframe for real-time flow.
RSI calculation – standard RSI applied to each data stream, optionally smoothed (SMA / EMA / RMA / WMA / VWMA).
Signals – optional background highlights when:
All three RSIs are overbought (red) or oversold (green), or
Any pair show opposite extremes (e.g., price overbought + OI oversold).
Consensus RSI – arithmetic mean of the selected RSIs, summarizing overall market tone.
Inputs overview
CVD settings: anchor period, lower-TF delta, mode, rolling length
RSI lengths: separate for price, CVD, OI
Smoothing: type + period applied to all RSIs at once
Consensus: choose which RSIs to average
Signals: enable/disable each combination; optional alerts
Levels: adjustable OB/MID/OS (default 70 / 50 / 30)
Visuals: fill between active RSIs, background highlights, level lines, colors in Style tab
How to read it
All 3 overbought (red): broad exhaustion → possible correction
All 3 oversold (green): broad depletion → possible bounce
Opposite pairs: divergence between price and participation
Price↑ but OI↓ (red) → weak rally, fading participation
Price↓ but CVD↑ (green) → hidden accumulation
Combine with structure and volume profile for confirmation.
Notes
Works best on assets with full CVD + OI data (futures, BTC, etc.).
Use Continuous CVD for smooth RSI, Anchored for session analysis.
Smoothing 2–5 EMA is a good starting point to reduce noise.
All styling (colors, line types, thickness) is adjustable in the Style tab.
Limitations & caveats
CVD requires accurate tick/volume/delta data from your data feed. Performance may differ across instruments.
OI availability varies by exchange / symbol. Where OI is absent, pairwise OI signals are not evaluated.
This indicator is a tool — it generates signals of interest, not guaranteed profitable trades. Backtest and combine with your risk rules.
Smoothing introduces lag; longer smoothing reduces noise but delays signals.
Order Flow RSI bridges traditional momentum analysis and order-flow context — giving a multi-dimensional view of when markets are truly stretched or quietly reloading.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
VSTrade OMCThe indicator calculates the ratio of Open Interest (OI) of a futures contract to the market capitalization (Market Cap) of the spot asset. OI is the number of open (unclosed) futures positions in the market, expressed in contracts. Market Cap is the total value of the asset (price * circulating supply). The ratio shows how "overheated" or "interesting" the futures market is relative to the size of the asset.This is not a direct trading signal, but a tool for analyzing liquidity, speculation, and market sentiment.
Индикатор рассчитывает отношение Open Interest (OI) фьючерсного контракта к рыночной капитализации (Market Cap) спотового актива. OI — это количество открытых (незакрытых) фьючерсных позиций на рынке, выраженное в контрактах. Market Cap — общая стоимость актива (цена * circulating supply). Отношение (ratio) показывает, насколько "перегрет" или "интересен" рынок фьючерсов относительно размера актива.
Это не прямой торговый сигнал, а инструмент для анализа ликвидности, спекуляции и рыночных настроений.
Bar Statistics - DELTA/OI/TOTAL/BUY/SELL/LONGS/SHORTSBar Statistics - Advanced Volume & Open Interest Analysis
Overview
The Bar Statistics indicator is a comprehensive analytical tool designed to provide traders with detailed insights into market microstructure through advanced volume analysis, open interest tracking, and market flow detection. This indicator transforms complex market data into easily digestible visual information, displaying six key metrics in customizable colored boxes that update in real-time.
Unlike traditional volume indicators that only show basic volume data, this indicator combines multiple data sources to reveal the underlying forces driving price movement, including volume delta calculations from lower timeframes, open interest changes, and estimated market positioning.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
1. Multi-Timeframe Volume Delta Precision
The indicator utilizes lower timeframe data (default 1-second) to calculate highly accurate volume delta measurements, providing much more precise buy/sell pressure analysis than standard timeframe-based calculations. This approach captures intraday volume dynamics that are often missed by conventional indicators.
2. Real-Time Updates
Unlike many indicators that only update on bar completion, this tool provides live updates for the developing candle, allowing traders to see evolving market conditions as they happen.
3. Market Flow Analysis
The unique "L/S" (Long/Short) metric combines open interest changes with price/volume direction to estimate net market positioning, helping identify when participants are accumulating or distributing positions.
4. Adaptive Visual Intensity
The gradient color system automatically adjusts based on historical context, making it easy to identify when current values are significant relative to recent market activity.
5. Complete Customization
Every aspect of the display can be customized, from the order of metrics to individual color schemes, allowing traders to adapt the tool to their specific analysis needs.
6.All In One Solution
6 Metrics in one indicator no more using 5 different indicators.
Core Features Explained
DELTA (Volume Delta)
What it shows: Net difference between aggressive buy volume and aggressive sell volume
Calculation: Uses lower timeframe data to determine whether each trade was initiated by buyers or sellers
Interpretation:
Positive values indicate aggressive buying pressure
Negative values indicate aggressive selling pressure
Magnitude indicates the strength of directional pressure
OI Δ (Open Interest Change)
What it shows: Change in open interest from the previous bar
Data source: Fetches open interest data using the "_OI" symbol suffix

Net Positions (Net Longs & Net Shorts) - Volume AdjustedNet Positions (Net Longs & Net Shorts) - Volume Adjusted
Based on the legendary LeviathanCapital - Net Positions Indicator
Adjusted to use volume calculation for more percise data
Few important caveats:
- EVERY BUYER NEED A SELLER AND EVERY SELLER NEED A BUYER
- This indicator is meant to give you a sense of direction for the market orders ("who is the aggresive side") and should be used as confluence not as true values
In reality, in market movement each candle will contain both buying and selling, contracts closing and opening but due to some limitations that is hard to make properly.
Even with these limitations this indicator can provide a better picture than some other even external tools out there.
The main benefit of using volume delta and open interest instead of just open interest and candle closes G/R that it solves the problem with extreme cases where there might be an absorption of market orders.
Example of the Volume Edge in Action:
Bullish Absorption (The "Trap" for Sellers)
Candle Close + OI: A large Red Candle forms with Rising OI. The interpretation is simply: "New shorts are opening"
Volume Delta + OI: The same Red Candle with Rising OI has a Positive Volume Delta.
The True Story: Aggressive buyers tried to push the price up, but they were completely absorbed by large passive sell orders.
The "Volume Delta" logic:
If OI ↑ → new positions opened
• Delta ↑ → net longs added
• Delta ↓ → net shorts added
If OI ↓ → positions closed
• Delta ↑ → shorts closing
• Delta ↓ → longs closing
The "Price" logic:
If OI ↑ → new positions opened
• Price ↑ → net longs added
• Price ↓ → net shorts added
If OI ↓ → positions closed
• Price ↑ → shorts closing
• Price ↓ → longs closing
Crypto OI AgregatedCrypto OI Aggregated — Open Interest Aggregator for Crypto Exchanges
General Description
The indicator is designed for comprehensive analysis of Open Interest (OI) across major cryptocurrency exchanges. It consolidates data from multiple platforms, visualizes it as candlestick charts or deltas, and builds tables with breakdowns by exchange and contract type. This allows traders to quickly understand where market interest is concentrated and how the market structure is shifting.
Unlike standard tools that only show data from a single exchange, this indicator provides a full market overview and makes it easy to compare dynamics across different platforms.
⸻
Key Features
• Aggregation of OI data from exchanges: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, Deribit (feel free to leave a comment if you’d like me to add other exchanges that provide open interest data)
• Support for contract types: USDT.P, USD.P, USDC.P, USD.PM
• Automatic normalization of various OI data formats from different providers
• Display modes:
• OI candlestick chart (total aggregated OI)
• OI Delta (change in OI per bar)
• Full table with detailed data by exchange and contract type
• Short summary table with totals in USD and base assets
• Support for USD or COIN denomination
• Convenient formatting for large numbers
• Customizable colors
⸻
How to Use the Indicator
1. Select Exchanges
In the settings, enable or disable specific exchanges. It is recommended to activate only the ones you need for analysis — this will make the indicator faster.
2. Choose Data Type
• OI — aggregated open interest from selected exchanges.
• OI delta — delta (change in OI compared to the previous bar).
3. Denomination
• USD — values are converted into USD equivalents.
• COIN — values are shown in the base asset (BTC, ETH, etc.).
4. Reading the Chart
• OI candlesticks show the overall OI dynamics.
• Delta histogram highlights how much OI has grown or decreased per bar.
• Colors are fully customizable.
5. Tables
• Enabled via the Show table option.

• Short Table → Displays only the total OI values in USD and the base asset.
⸻
Important Notes
• For better readability of large values, two custom formatting functions were implemented. They work similarly to format.volume, but with improved digit grouping and adjustable decimal precision. In the tables, the top row is formatted using format.volume, while the bottom row uses the improved formatting functions for clearer representation.
str(d, n, s) =>
str.substring(d, 0, str.length(d) - n) + '.' + str.substring(d, str.length(d) - n, str.length(d) - (n - 2)) + s
format(_r) =>
d = str.tostring(math.round(_r))
str.length(d) > 9 ? str(d, 9, " B") : str.length(d) > 6 ? str(d, 6, " M") : str.length(d) > 3 ? str(d, 3, " K") : d
⸻
Conclusion: Crypto OI Aggregated is a convenient and powerful tool for cryptocurrency derivatives traders. It enables tracking of OI dynamics across multiple exchanges simultaneously, detecting imbalances between contracts, and identifying signals that are not visible when analyzing a single exchange.
Open Interest Footprint IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Th e Open Interest Footprint IQ indicator is an advanced visualization tool designed for cryptocurrency markets. It provides a granular, real-time breakdown of open interest changes across different price levels, allowing traders to see how aggressive market participation is distributed within each bar.
Unlike standard footprint charts that rely solely on volume, this indicator offers unique insights by focusing on the interaction between price action and changes in open interest (OI) — a leading metric often used to infer trader intent and positioning.
How it works
The Open Interest Footprint IQ processes lower timeframe price and open interest data to build a footprint-style chart that shows how traders are positioning themselves within each candle.
Here’s a breakdown of the process:
1. Granular OI & Price Sampling
The script retrieves lower-timeframe data (1-minute, 1-second, or 1-tick, based on your setting).
For each candle, it captures:
High and low prices
Price change direction
Change in open interest (OI)
2. Classifying Trader Behavior
For each lower-timeframe segment, the indicator determines the type of positioning occurring based on price movement and OI change:
If price is moving up and open interest is increasing, it suggests that long positions are being opened. This is considered a "Longs Opening" event, labeled as UU (Up/Up).
If price is moving up but open interest is decreasing, it indicates that short positions are being closed. This is referred to as UD (Up/Down), or "Shorts Closing."
If price is moving down and open interest is increasing, it signals that short positions are being opened. This is known as DU (Down/Up), or "Shorts Opening."
If price is moving down while open interest is also decreasing, it means that long positions are being closed. This is labeled as DD (Down/Down), or "Longs Closing."
These are stored in separate arrays and displayed at specific price levels.
It is particularly useful for identifying:
Where longs or shorts are opening/closing positions
Stacked imbalances (indicative of potential absorption or exhaustion)
Value area zones and POC (Point of Control) based on OI, not volume
This footprint runs on your choice of sub-bar granularity and is ideal for high-frequency trading, scalping, and entries based on order flow dynamics.
Key Features
Footprint Visualization
At each price level within a candle:
Long/short opening and closing behavior is broken down.
Delta (net open interest change) is displayed both numerically and color-coded.
Optional gradient coloring shows intensity and type of flow (longs/shorts opened/closed).
Cumulative or per-bar reset modes allow you to track OI evolution over time.
The image above explains the information that each Footprint box shows across a candlestick!
Each footprint box shows:
OI Delta
OI Delta %
Longs Opened (LO)
Longs Closed (LC)
Shorts Opened (SO)
Shorts Closed (SC)
The image above explains the color-coding feature of the indicator.
Boxes are color coded to show which position action
dominated at the price area.
For this example:
Green boxes = Long positions being opened dominated
Purple boxes = Long positions being closed dominated
Red boxes = Short positions being opened dominated
Yellow boxes = Short positions being closed dominated
All colors are customizable.
Additionally, for traders who are only interested in whether OI increased/decreased, a "two-color" option is available in the settings.
For the two-color option, footprint boxes can be one of two colors. Showing whether OI increased or decreased at the level.
Cumulative Levels
Open Interest Footprint IQ contains a "Cumulative Levels" feature that tracks/stores open interest change at tick levels over time, rather than resetting per bar.
With the "Cumulative Levels" feature enabled, traders can see open interest changes persist across all candlesticks. This feature is useful for determining whether longs opening, longs closing, shorts opening, or shorts closing are dominating at particular price areas over time rather than on a single bar.
A useful feature to see if shorts/longs are favoring certain price throughout the day, week, month, etc.
Input Settings Explained
Granularity (Dropdown: Granularity)
Options: 1-Minute, 1-Second, 1-Tick
Determines how finely the script samples the lower timeframe data to construct the footprint.
For precision:
1-Tick = Highest accuracy, but more resource-intensive.
1-Second/1-Minute = Suitable for broader or more zoomed-out analysis.
Tick Level Distance (Tick Level Distance (0 = Auto))
Defines the vertical spacing between levels in the footprint chart.
If 0, the script uses an automatic calculation based on ATR to adapt to volatility.
Set a manual value (e.g., 5) to control the height granularity of each level in ticks.
Cumulative Levels (Toggle)
If enabled, the footprint builds cumulatively over time, rather than resetting per candle.
Use case: Visualize ongoing buildup of OI activity across a session or day.
Cumulative Levels Reset TF (Timeframe)
Sets the reset interval for the cumulative view (e.g., reset daily, hourly, etc.)
Works only when Cumulative Levels is enabled.
Delta Box Display Settings
Show Delta Percentage
Toggles the display of the percentage change in OI across the footprint level.
Helpful to gauge how aggressive positioning is relative to total OI at that level.
Show Longs/Shorts (Opened/Closed)
Show Longs Opened: Displays OI increase in up candles (price ↑, OI ↑).
Show Longs Closed: Displays OI decrease in down candles (price ↓, OI ↓).
Show Shorts Opened: OI increase in down candles (price ↓, OI ↑).
Show Shorts Closed: OI decrease in up candles (price ↑, OI ↓).
These behaviors are color-coded to give traders instant context:
Blue-green for longs opening.
Purple for longs closing.
Red for shorts opening.
Yellow for shorts closing.
Value Area & POC
Value Area % (Value Area %)
Controls how much cumulative open interest is used to define the value area.
Example: 70% means the smallest range of prices that contains 70% of total OI in that bar will be marked.
Helps identify zones of interest, support/resistance, and institutional levels.
The image above explains how to identify the VAH/VAL/POC shown by Open Interest Footprint IQ.
VAH = Upper 🞂
POC = ●
VAL = Lower 🞂
Imbalances
Imbalance Percentage
Defines the minimum delta % required at a level to be marked as an imbalance.
If the net open interest change at a level exceeds this threshold, a visual marker appears.
Stacked Imbalance Count
If the number of consecutive imbalance levels meets this count, a “Stacked Imbalance” alert will trigger.
This can signal aggressive buying or selling pressure, potential breakout zones, or institutional absorption.
Color Settings
Longs Opened / Closed, Shorts Opened / Closed
Customize the color palette for each order flow behavior.
These colors appear in the background gradient of the footprint boxes.
Up/Down Only Mode
Toggle to override all behavior-based colors with a single Up Color and Down Color.
Useful if you prefer a simple bull/bear view.
Up Color / Down Color
If "Up/Down Only" is enabled, these two colors are used to represent all net positive or negative deltas.
Special Notes
Crypto only: This script works only with crypto tickers on TradingView.
For other assets (stocks, futures), a warning message will appear instead.
OI data must be available from the exchange (many perpetual pairs support this).
If the footprint is too small or invisible, increase your tick level spacing in the settings.
Alerts
When a stacked imbalance is detected, an alert is fired ("Stacked Imbalance").
This feature is useful for automated systems, bots, or simply staying informed of potential trade setups.
And that's all for now!
If you have any questions or features you'd like to see feel free to share them in the comments below!
Thank you traders!
TradeQUO Herrick Payoff RSIHerrick Payoff Index RSI (HPI-RSI) with Signal Line
An advanced oscillator that measures market strength not just by price, but by "smart money flow."
This indicator is not a typical RSI. Instead of applying the Relative Strength Index to price alone, it calculates it on the cumulative Herrick Payoff Index (HPI) . This creates a unique oscillator that reflects the underlying sentiment and capital flow in the market.
What is the Herrick Payoff Index (HPI)?
The HPI is a classic sentiment indicator that combines three crucial elements to determine if money is flowing into or out of an asset:
Price Change: The direction and momentum of the market.
Trading Volume: The conviction behind the price movement.
Open Interest (OI): The total number of open contracts (mainly in futures), which indicates if new capital is entering the market.
By combining these factors, the HPI provides a more comprehensive picture of market strength than indicators based solely on price.
How This Indicator Works
The script follows a logical, multi-step process:
It calculates the raw Herrick Payoff Index for each bar.
It creates a cumulative sum of this index to generate a continuous money flow value.
This cumulative value is smoothed with a short-period EMA to reduce noise.
The RSI is then applied to this smoothed HPI value.
An additional, configurable signal line (moving average) is added to facilitate trading signals.
Interpretation and Application
You can use this indicator much like a standard RSI, but with the added context of money flow:
Overbought/Oversold: Values above 70 suggest an overbought condition, while values below 30 signal an oversold condition.
Signal Line Crossovers: A cross of the HPI-RSI line above the signal line can be seen as a bullish signal. A cross below can be seen as a bearish signal.
Divergences: Look for divergences between the indicator and the price. A bullish divergence (price makes a lower low, indicator makes a higher low) can indicate an upcoming move to the upside. A bearish divergence (price makes a higher high, indicator makes a lower high) can signal a potential move to the downside.
Settings
The indicator has been deliberately kept simple:
HPI Smoothing Length: Smoothing length (1-5) for the cumulative HPI.
RSI Length: The lookback period for the RSI calculation.
Signal Line Settings: Here you can enable/disable the signal line and customize its type and length.
Display Settings: Adjust the colors of the RSI and signal lines to your preference.
This indicator is a tool for analysis and should always be used in combination with other methods and a solid risk management strategy. Happy trading!
Aggregated Open Interest [Alpha Extract]The Aggregated Open Interest indicator provides a comprehensive view of open interest across multiple cryptocurrency exchanges, allowing traders to monitor institutional positioning and market sentiment. By aggregating data from major exchanges like Binance, BitMEX, and Kraken, this indicator offers valuable insights into potential price movements and market shifts.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator processes open interest data through multiple analytical methods:

BTC: Open InterestThis indicator tracks the 7-day (default) percentage change in open interest (OI), providing insights into market participation trends. It includes customizable periods and colors, allowing traders to adjust settings for better visualization.
Open interest (OI) is the total number of active contracts (futures or options) that haven’t been closed or settled. It represents the total open positions in the market.
Thus when OI increases, more traders are entering new positions, signaling growing market interest. Conversely, when OI decreases, positions are being closed, suggesting lower trader participation or liquidation.
Attributes & Features:
Open Interest Percentage Change – Measures the 7-day % change in open interest to track market participation.
Customizable Calculation Period – Users can adjust the period (default: 7 days) for more flexible analysis.
Adjustable Colors – Allows modification of colors for better visualization.
Trend Identification – Highlights rising vs. falling open interest trends.
Works Across Assets – Can be used for cryptos, stocks, and futures with open interest data.
Overlay or Separate Panel – Can be plotted on price chart or as a separate indicator.
How It Works:
Fetches Open Interest Data – Retrieves open interest values for each day for USD, USDT, and USDC Bitcoin Perpetual Derivitives.
Calculates Percentage Change – Compares current open interest to its value X days ago (Default = 7 days).
Standard Deviation – Applies standard deviation ranging from -2 to +2 deviations to identify large shifts in OI.
Visual Alerts – Can highlight extreme increases or decreases signaling potential market shifts.
NOTE: THE INDICATOR DATA ONLY GOES BACK TO START OF 2022
Open Interest (Multiple Exchanges for Crypto)On some cryptocurrencies and exchanges the OI data is nonexistent or deplorable. With this indicator you can see OI data from multiple exchanges (or just the best one) from USD,USDT, or USD+USDT pairs whether you are using a perpetuals chart or not.
Hope you all like it!
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.
