OI Profile Pro
The Next Generation Open Interest Profiling for Real-Time Trader Insight
Qatalog’s OI Profile Pro is the first fully-fledged open interest profiling tool designed for professional traders who demand a granular, real-time understanding of how open interest (OI) interacts with price. By combining advanced data visualization with actionable analytics, OI Profile Pro allows users to see where traders are positioning, identify areas of heightened risk or opportunity, and pinpoint likely liquidation levels as they develop—directly on the price chart.
The Importance of Open Interest Profiling
Open interest is a critical metric in derivatives and futures trading, representing the total number of outstanding contracts at any given price. Unlike simple volume, OI reveals where traders are entering or exiting positions, and where leverage is building up in the market. By mapping OI in relation to price, Qatalog’s OI Profile Pro empowers traders to:
Spot areas of aggressive positioning—where new contracts are being opened or closed.
Anticipate volatility spikes—as clusters of OI are threatened by price movement, leading to forced liquidations.
Understand market sentiment—by tracking whether OI is rising (new money entering) or falling (positions unwinding) during price moves.
Key Features and Analytical Capabilities
Real-Time OI Profiling Alongside Price
Dynamic OI histogram: Visualize open interest at every price level, updating in real time as new data arrives.
Overlay on price chart: See OI build-ups, reductions, and shifts directly in the context of price action—no more guesswork or switching between separate panels.
Identification of Trader Areas of Interest
Clustering detection: Instantly spot price zones with concentrated OI, highlighting where the majority of market participants are positioned.
Heatmapping: Color-coded intensity shows at a glance which levels are most crowded, helping to identify potential support, resistance, and inflection points.
Likely Liquidation Level Highlighting
Liquidation risk mapping: By analyzing OI clusters in relation to recent price movement and volatility, OI Profile Pro highlights levels where mass liquidations are most likely to occur if price breaches these zones.
Proactive risk management: Traders can anticipate potential “liquidation cascades” and position themselves to capitalize on or avoid these high-volatility events.
Actionable Alerts and Customization
Custom alerting: Set notifications for when OI at a particular price level crosses a user-defined threshold, or when price approaches a high-risk liquidation zone.
Flexible aggregation: Analyze OI on any timeframe or asset supported by Tradingview, from minute-by-minute scalping to multi-day swing trading.
Seamless Integration with Qatalog’s Trading Suite
Combine with order flow and delta tools: Layer OI Profile Pro with Qatalog’s Delta Print Candles, Delta Bar Stats, and TPO indicators for a comprehensive, multi-dimensional view of market structure.
Works across all markets: While optimized for crypto derivatives, OI Profile Pro is compatible with any asset where open interest data is available on Tradingview, including equities, forex, and commodities.
Strategic Advantages for Professional Traders
OI Profile Pro is engineered to provide a decisive edge in all trading environments:
For scalpers and intraday traders: Identify short-term OI shifts and liquidation levels for rapid, high-conviction trades.
For swing and position traders: Track the evolution of OI clusters to understand where major players are positioned and where the market is most vulnerable to sharp moves.
For risk managers and portfolio strategists: Monitor systemic risk and potential cascade points to protect capital and optimize exposure.
