Revision as of 20:41, 9 February 2012

Returns the open interest of the current bar for tick and volume-based charts.

For time-based charts with resolutions of 24 hours or less, OpenInt returns:

The volume traded on Down ticks will be returned if Build Volume On is set to Trade Volume, or
The number of Down ticks in the current bar will be returned if Build Volume On is set to Tick Count

Usage

OpenInt

Notes

OpenInt is supported for time-based charts with resolutions of 1 day or more.
Please note that most data feeds provide only a limited history of volume and tick data; storing real-time feed data will ensure the availability of historical volume and tick data.

Examples

Plot the open interest of the current bar:

Plot1(OpenInt, "Open interest");

Plot the open interest of the previous bar:

Plot1(OpenInt of 1 Bar Ago, "Previous bar's open interest");

Plot the open interest of two bars ago:

Plot1(OpenInt[2], "Open interest 2 bars ago");
