OI Visible Range Ladder [Kioseff Trading]Hello!
This Script “OI Visible Range Ladder” calculates open interest profiles for the visible range alongside an OI ladder for the visible period!
Features
OI Profile Anchored to Visible Range
OI Ladder Anchored to Visible Range
Standard POC and Value Area Lines, in Addition to Separated POCs and Value Area Lines for each category of OI x Price
Configurable Value Area Targets
Curved Profiles
Up to 9999 Profile Rows per Visible Range
Stylistic Options for Profiles
Up to 9999 volume profile levels (Price levels) can be calculated for each profile, thanks to the new polyline feature, allowing for less aggregation / more precision of open interest at price.
The image above shows primary functionality!
Green profiles = Up OI / Up Price
Yellow profiles = Down OI / Up Price
Purple profiles = Up OI / Down Price
Red profiles = Down OI / Down Price
The image above shows POCs for each OI x Price category!
Profiles can be anchored on the left side for a more traditional look.
The indicator is robust enough to calculate on “small price periods”, or for a price period spanning your entire chart fully zoomed out!
That’s about it :D
This indicator is Part of a series titled “Bull vs. Bear” - a suite of profile-like indicators.
Thanks for checking this out!
If you have any suggestions please feel free to share!

Zig-Zag Open Interest Footprint [Kioseff Trading]Hello!
This script "Zig Zag Open Interest Footprint" calculates open interest x price values for zig zag trends!
Features
Open interest footprints anchored to zig zag trends
Summed OI x price level footprints
Total OI (for each category) for the entire trend shown
Standard POC lines, in addition to separated POC lines for each category of open interest x price possibility
Up to 9999 profile rows per zigzag trend
Stylistic options for profiles
Configurable zig zag - footprints generated for small to large trends
The zigzag indicator is configurable as normal; minor and major trend volume footprints are calculable. This indicator can be thought of as "Open Interest Footprint for Trends''.
Up to 9999 open interest levels (price levels) can be calculated for each profile, thanks to the new polyline feature, allowing for less aggregation / more precision of open interest at price.
Zig Zag OI Footprints
The image above shows primary functionality!
Green = Higher OI + Higher Price
Yellow = Lower OI + Higher Price
Purple = Higher OI + Lower Price
Red = Lower OI + Lower Price
Profiles are generated for each trend identified by the zigzag indicator.
The image above shows the indicator calculating open interest x price for specific price blocks on the footprint. Aggregate open interest for the identified trend is displayed over the profile!
Neon highlighted values correspond to the highest open interest change for the category. This is a configurable option :D
The image above shows POC lines for each category of open interest x price!
Additionally, you can select to show a single POV for footprint - the single level the greatest amount of OI change occurred.
The indicator is robust enough to calculate on "long zig zags" and "short zig zags"; curved profiles can also be used!
The image above shows key levels, each OI footprint, and summed OI values for the current trend!
That's about it :D
This indicator is part of a series titled "Bull vs. Bear" - a suite of profile-like indicators I will be releasing over the coming days. Thanks for checking this out!

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.
