Open Interest Indicators

• For the straddle/strangle if you wish to view open interest of the call and put selected, you can add the 'Open Interest (Call)' and 'Open Interest (Put)' indicators.
• To do this, click the 'Indicators' button (shown in picture below):

This will open the indicators dialog window as shown below:

These indicators are better viewed in a single indicator window so as to gauge when they are crossing over indicating change of control of options traders.

To do this, right click on the bottom open interest indicator (in our eg. Open interest (put). From the displayed menu, click on 'Merge Up.' This will merge the indicator into the open interest (call) indicator

Now both open interest indicators will be in the same indicator window allowing you to easily gauge the OI movements of call vs put

You can change the color of one of the indicators as per your preference to distinguish easily between call oi and put oi.

The merge process is shown in the picture below:
