Weiss Wave Open Interest BarsFirstly : LazyBear ' s "Weiss Wave " codes are used for open interests. Original Weiss Wave Volume : Let's start : Open Interest vs. Volume: An Overview Volume and open interest are two key measurements that describe the liquidity and activity of contracts In the options and futures markets. However, their meanings and applications are different. Volume refers to the number of contracts traded in a given period, while open interest denotes the number of active contracts. Volume Trading volume measures the number of options or futures contracts being exchanged between buyers and sellers, identifying the level of activity for that particular contract. For every buyer, there is a seller, and the transaction itself counts toward the daily volume. Open Interest Open interest indicates the number of options or futures contracts that are held by traders and investors in active positions. These positions have not been closed out, expired, or exercised. Open interest decreases when holders and writers of options (or buyers and sellers of futures) close out their positions. To close out positions, they must take offsetting positions or exercise their options. Open interest increases once again when investors and traders open new long positions or writers/sellers take on new short positions. Open interest also increases when new options or futures contracts are created. Options or futures contract trading volume can only increase while open interest can either increase or decrease. While trading volume indicates the number of contracts that have been bought or sold, open interest identifies the number of contracts that are currently held. Reference : www.investopedia.com *** Worked to define all futures . You can look them in codes (between line : 13 to line 94 ) ** CAUTION 1 : Since each instrument in the list has its own unique contract data, you must first enter its name to display it. I recommend you to select OANDA from the markets. Finally, when the COT reports are issued, it may repaints. However, this repaint is usually close to closing or after close .(When COT reports are so sharp ) So use this script only 1W ( 1 week ) or 1 M ( 1 month ) timeframe. ** CAUTION 2 : This data is taken to Tradingview with the help of Quandl. This is a tremendous possibility, but the system will not work if there is a malfunction. Best regards.

XBT Contango Calculator v1.1 This indicator measures value of basis (or spread) of current Futures contracts compared to spot. The default settings are specifically for Bitmex XBTU19 and XBTZ19 futures contracts. These will need to be updated after expiration. Also, it seems that Tradingview does not keep charts of expired contracts. If anyone knows how to import data from previous expired contracts, please let me know. This historical data could be valuable for evaluating previous XBT futures curves. Also, VERY important to understand is this indicator only works with Spot Bitcoin charts (XBTUSD, BTCUSD, etc). If you add this to any other asset chart, it would not be useful (unless you changed settings to evaluate a different Futures product). Contango and Backwardation are important fundamental indicators to keep track of while trading Futures markets. For a better explanation, Ugly Old Goat had done several medium articles on this. Please check out link below for his latest article on the subject... uglyoldgoat.com Notes on chart above should explain most of what you need to know on to use this indicator. The zero line is the spot price on the chart, so a positive value means Futures are trading at a premium (or in Contango). You can set a value of extreme Contango which will give an alert as red background (default setting is +$500). Green background will appear when Futures are trading at a discount to spot (Backwardation). Hope some people get some use out of this. This is my first attempt at coding anything, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated! BTC Donations: 3CypEdvBcvVHbqzHUt1FDiUG53U7pYWviV

Premium/Discount (Input)Used to show Contango or Backwardation in futures contracts vs spot price. You can input your own tickers so can technically can be used to compare anything. * In this example I'm showing Okex Quarterly contract vs Okex spot index price because it showcases it better. * If you are using this after 2019 the default setting will not work because I set it to Bitmex which does not currently have a "current contract in front" ticker available. It should be fairly self explanatory, but just ask below if you have any questions.

Commercial / Open Interest-Buschi English: Another view the Commitment of Traders (CoT) data Since the Commercials are often a good indicator for future market movements, I tampered a little bit with their positioning (long or short) in relation to the open interest to visualize some kind of "commercial buying (long) or selling (short) power". It's definitely nothing more than work in progress, but I decided to publish it anyway. Critical comments are mostly welcome. Deutsch: Ein weiterer Blick auf die Commitment of Traders (CoT) Daten Da die Commercials häufig ein guter Indikator für zukünftige Marktbewegungen sind, habe ich ein wenig mit ihrer Positionierung (long oder short) im Verhältnis zum Open Interest herumgebastelt, um eine Art von "kommerzieller Kauf- (long) oder Verkaufs-Kraft" abzubilden. Es ist momentan noch im absoluten Teststadium, aber ich habe mich dazu entschlossen, es trotzdem zu veröffentlichen. Kritische Anmerkungen sind sehr willkommen.

Futures - Measure and compare volatility in USDThis is a dirty fix. Dollar value (syminfo.pointvalue) is wrong in Tradingview for the below listed futures, where the price is in quarters of cents. For example ZC (Corn) says syminfo.pointvalue = 5000 (syminfo.mintick = 0.13), which gives you (with ATR = 6) volatility of $30,000 (6 * 5000) instead of the correct $300. For all other futures I used the default syminfo.pointvalue. Feel free to correct me, if I am wrong regarding the syminfo.pointvalue error.

A.I.Driven TradersAI Model Trades for 20190612The entry and exit levels here are NOT derived from any specific indicator but are coming from our A.I. driven proprietary models. This is an attempt at exploring the trading community here at TradingView and sharing our daily trading plans published at our site with the community here in the form a Pine Script - just starting and learning this platform. Please help point out any obvious errors or gotchas committed in the scripts. Thanks and have a great trading day! **** The Trading Plan Published for today **** >>>> Medium-Frequency Models: <<<<< For today, Wednesday 06/12, our medium-frequency models indicate using the 2895 as a pivot point - opening a long on a break above 2895, and opening a short on a break below 2895 (wait for a close on at least a five minute chart to determine the break), both sides with a 9-point trailing stop.      Note: For the trades to trigger, the breaks should occur during the regular session hours starting at 9:30am ET. By design, these models do NOT open any new positions after 3:45pm. Only one open position at any given time. >>>>> Aggressive Intraday Models: <<<<< For today, Wednesday 06/12, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 2892 or 2875 with an 6-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 2887 or 2878 with an 8-point trailing stop.    Note: For the trades to trigger, the breaks should occur during regular session hours starting at 9:30am ET. Due to the intraday nature of these aggressive models, they indicate closing any open trades at 3:55pm and remaining flat into the session close. No opening of new positions after 3:45pm. Only one open position at any given time.

Resistance of VolumeIt is used to detect volume resistors in a personalized way, since it allows the user to enter the volume in which he wishes the resistance to jump automatically. It does not mark the black line and the graphic that's just to help understand how it works in the above image can see the indicator works on 30 minutes chart in the above image can see the indicator works on 5 minutes chart therefore, it can be configured to go through several temporalities.

Index Vs Futures for OKEX Quarterly Contracts 5.0*****Please note that all old versions of this script are depreciated and will report incorrect data!***** This "indicator" is made to display the history of the price difference between OKEX's quarterly contracts and the market that it is supposed to be tracking. Contango differences are natural, but it's nice to visualize how they change over time. This update to this script brings in further functionality when OKEX changed the index that the futures contracts are based off of to remove chinese exchanges from the mix. This script reflects that change and crosses-over when that change was made. The new index removed chinese exchanges which are (currently) trading at a significant discount which will give bad data when using my old code.
