Returns the open interest of the current bar for time-based charts with resolutions of 1 day or more.
For tick and volume-based charts and 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.
- The range of returned values is limited by the MaxBarsBack setting.
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");
