AE - Aggregated Open InterestAggregated Open Interest
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:
Exchange Aggregation: Collects and normalizes open interest data from multiple exchanges (Binance, BitMEX, Kraken) with proper currency normalization.
Multi-Mode Analysis: Calculates various metrics including raw open interest values, OI change, OI delta, volume-weighted delta, and OI RSI.
Divergence Detection: Uses pivot point analysis to identify divergences between price action and open interest movements.
Activity Assessment: Tracks bullish and bearish activity patterns by correlating open interest changes with price movements.
Formula:
- Aggregate OI = Sum of normalized open interest from selected exchanges
- OI Change = Current OI - Previous OI
- OI Delta = Net change in open interest across timeframes
- OI Delta × Volume = OI Delta weighted by relative volume
- OI RSI = Relative Strength Index applied to open interest values
- OI Heatmap = Multi-timeframe visualization of OI changes across 7 distinct periods
🔶 DETAILS
Visual Features:
Multiple Display Modes:
- Open Interest: Candlestick representation of aggregated open interest
- OI Change: Histogram showing period-to-period changes
- OI Delta: Histogram displaying net OI movements
- OI Delta × Volume: Volume-weighted OI delta for enhanced signals
- OI RSI: Oscillator showing overbought/oversold OI conditions
- OI Heatmap: Multi-timeframe visualization showing OI changes across 7 periods (3, 5, 8, 13,
21, 34, and 55 days)
- Divergence Detection: Color-coded markers (teal for bullish, red for bearish) highlighting - -
significant divergences between price and open interest
- Analysis Table: Real-time summary of key metrics including aggregate OI, recent changes, and
bullish/bearish activity
🔶 Interpretation:
Increasing Open Interest + Rising Price: Strong bullish trend confirmation
Increasing Open Interest + Falling Price: Strong bearish trend confirmation
Decreasing Open Interest + Rising Price: Weak bullish trend (potential reversal)
Decreasing Open Interest + Falling Price: Weak bearish trend (potential reversal)
Divergences: Signal potential trend exhaustion and reversals when price moves in one direction while open interest moves in the opposite direction
Heatmap: Provides at-a-glance insight into open interest trends across multiple timeframes, with green bars indicating rising OI and red bars indicating falling OI
🔶 EXAMPLES
Trend Confirmation: Rising open interest accompanying a price increase confirms strong bullish momentum with institutional backing.
- Example: During January-February 2025, rising OI during price advances confirms institutional
participation in the uptrend.
- Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high while open interest makes a lower high,
signaling potential trend reversal.
- Example: Red markers appear at market tops where price continues higher but open interest
fails to confirm, preceding significant corrections.
- Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low while open interest makes a higher low,
indicating potential bottoming.
- Example: Teal markers appear at market bottoms where price continues lower but open
interest fails to confirm, preceding significant rallies.
OI Heatmap Analysis: Multiple timeframes showing consistent red signals across short to long-term periods indicate strong institutional selling pressure.
Example: When all 7 periods (3-55 days) show red during a price uptrend, this signals institutional selling into retail strength, often preceding major corrections.

Contract
Open Interest Divergence (OI vs Price)This indicator show having increasing Open Interest but price still move in a range (Open Interest Divergence vs price).
It is same with Divergence of indicators as RSI Divergence, Macd Divergence, .... It is easy to understand.
Additional, with MA line OI, you can see the change of OI.
Breakeven rectangle overlay for move contractI'm sharing this little script allowing you to display a breakeven rectangle for the move contract after manually writing your parameters (strike price, contract price). In case you are long your breakeven (at expiration) is when the price expire outside the rectangle. In case you are short your breakeven (again at expiration) is when the price is staying inside the rectangle at expiration. You can change multiple personalisation parameters as you wish.
Contango-Backwardation-Buschi
English:
This script shows the difference between a future's continuous current contract (e. g. CL1!) and the continuous next contract (e. g. CL2!). Normally, the next contract is more expensive ("Contango" - shown in green). If the next contract is cheaper, the difference is negative ("Backwardation" - shown in red).
A change between Contango and Backwardation often corresponds with stronger price changes.
Deutsch:
Dieses Skript zeigt den Unterschied zwischen dem kontinuierlichen aktuellem Kontrakt eines Futures (z. B. CL1!) und dem kontinuierlichen Folgekontrakt (z. B. CL2!). Im Normalfall ist der Folgekontrakt teurer ("Contango" - angezeigt in grün). Wenn der Folgekontrakt billiger ist, ist die Differenz negativ ("Backwardation" - angezeigt in rot).
Ein Wechsel zwischen Contango und Backwardation korrespondiert häufig mit größeren Preisänderungen.
Understanding order sizestype: properties manipulation, no programming needed
time required: 15minutes, at least
level: medium (need to know contracts, trading pairs)
A strategy can "appear" to work or be broken depending on the pile of cash that is working on. This amount is defined in the strat properties, under "order size".
For noobs (like me) this is very confusing at first :)
A strat opens/closes positions using units, a generic measure for the chart being operated on. Thes "units" can be a fixed amount of cash, a fixed amount of contracts, or a floating amount based on the last profits made. I recommend checking my previous strat to figure the case of contracts .
So, any trading price is the amount of "things" you get for some "cash". The things are the first unit, the "cash" is the second. Some examples:
XAU/USD - 1 xau oz is worth x dollars
BTC/USD - 1 bitcoin is worth x dollars
GBP/EUR - 1 pound is worth x euros
To add to confusion, a lot of markets the "unit size" is different from what the strat thinks it is. An options contract is 100 shares(the unit), 1 xau contract is 10 oz(units), 1 eur/usd contract is 100k euros and so on... so, after figuring out how the sizes work in a strat, then the sizes must be adapted for the specific market in question.
The choice os using the ETHUSD pair is because:
1 - you can buy 1eth, unlike a gold contract for example, so 1 "unit" = 1 eth, easier to get
2 - ETH is around 12 bucks, wich gives round numbers on the math, easier to wrap the brains around :)
3- is an unusual pair, so the regular contract sizes don't apply, and the brain is not conditioned to work inside the box ;)
You will have to access the script properties, to change the values. As these values are changed you will see exactly the differences in the values of the strat.
Text is too long, check the comments for all the cases
