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.

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 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.
OI Profile Composite [CE]OI Profile Composite
This indicator is a compliment tool to the OI Profile Remastered, the indicator works by allowing the user to choose:
-Start Time
-End Time
On load so the profile is built as a composite of this data.
the indicator provides the opportunity to show: Delta, Positive and negative OI in separation,
as well as calculate the High Value Nodes ( HVN ) + Liquidations independently of the OI shown.
Users are granted options such as
HVN - Auto detects areas of High Open Interest
Liquidations - Provides points of maximum likely liquidation areas
Extend Liquidations
Liquidation levels can also optionally be chosen to be extended, this may be useful e.g.
if a user wishes to see all positions built during expansion from swing low to swing high, we can gain insight into where participants have taken trades,
this will give us areas of potential liquidations for these traders and then extend these points beyond the swing high. This prevents more data being injested,
aside from the data in this movement, and the levels can be used for future trades accounting for historical liq generated data. Very useful feature of the composite creation.
Users can select their margin manually else the Auto settings for margin will do its job based on the chart selected, perp vs usdt.
All settings are set to defaults that I currently use for BTC trading.
Liquidation points can be useful for Targets when taking a trade.
HVN /OI. Can be used as S/R dynamically as well as the OI develops throughout the session.

Volume Profile Volume Delta OI Delta [Kioseff Trading]Hello!
This script serves to distinguish volume delta for any asset and open interest delta for Binance perpetual futures.
The image above provides further explanation of functionality and color correspondence.
The image above shows the indicator calculating volume at each tick level and displaying the metric.
The label color outline (neon effect) is configurable; the image above is absent the feature.
The image above shows Open Interest (OI) Delta calculated - similar to how the script calculates volume delta - for a Binance Perpetual Future pair.
This feature only works for Binance Futures pairs; the script will not load when trying to calculate OI Delta on other assets.
Additionally, a heatmap is displayable should you configure the indicator to calculate it.
The image above shows a heatmap using volume delta calculations.
The image above shows a heatmap using OI delta calculations.
Of course, these calculations - when absent requisite data - require some assumptions to better replicate calculations with access to requisite data.
The indicator assumes a 60/40 split when a tick level is traded at and only one metric - "buy volume" or "sell volume" is recorded. This means there shouldn't be any levels recorded where "buy volume" is greater than 0 and "sell volume" equals 0 and vice versa. While this assumption was performed arbitrarily, it may help better replicate volume delta and OI delta calculations seen on other charting platforms.
This option is configurable; you can select to have the script not assume a 60/40 split and instead record volume "as is" at the corresponding tick level.
The script also divides volume and open interest if a one-minute bar violates multiple tick levels. The volume or open interest generated on the one-minute bar will be divided by the number of tick levels it exceeds. The results are, subsequently, appended to the violated tick levels.
Further, the script can be set to recalculate after a user-defined time threshold is exceeded. You can also define the percentage or tick distance between levels.
Also, it'd be great if this indicator can nicely replicate volume delta indicators on other charting platforms. If you've any ideas on how price action can be used to better assume volume at the corresponding price area please let me know!
Thank you (:
Open Interest Delta OI Delta
This indicator aims to provide users an idea for OI changes intrabar referencing the LTF data, there will be some limitations as its limited to the LTF of 1minute maximum,
however there can be some insight provided regardless.
Below we can see an additional 2 modes,
Split:
Delta
The difference between the 3 modes include:
Split is a separation of the initial mode "Singular" it divides the 2 into separate axis positioning to allow for a different perspective of the same data.
Delta: Takes the difference of the 2 and makes it easier for users to see which side was in control, personally delta makes it easier to see DIVS in momentum and where exhaustion is occuring.
-Dev note, this was made alongside many other things so less testing was done do dm me anytime if theres any issues that need solving.
Open Interest Delta with MAs[Binance Perpetuals]!!!!! This indicator only shows Binance Perpetuals Open Interest Delta !!!!!
!!!!! When Binance Spot pair charts is selected, It still shows the perpetual contract Open Interest, if the pair on the chart is tradeble on perpetual contracts. I assume you know what Open Interest is. !!!!!
