Funding Rate & OI Radar [StrixEDGE]What It Does
Funding Rate & OI Radar is a multi-symbol derivatives dashboard that consolidates funding rate intensity, open interest momentum across three timeframes, and price-OI divergence signals into a single on-chart table. It is designed for perpetual futures traders who need to read market positioning at a glance — without switching tabs or charts.
The indicator tracks up to 5 perpetual contract symbols simultaneously, surfaces extreme funding conditions as they develop, and flags structurally weak rallies or drops where price and open interest are moving in opposite directions.
Core Features
Funding Rate with Color Intensity
Funding rate values are color-graded by severity — from dim neutral tones near zero, through elevated orange, to extreme red (longs paying) or bright green (shorts paying). Extreme readings trigger a highlighted cell background so they stand out immediately during fast-moving markets.
Open Interest Change — 1H / 4H / 24H
Three separate OI delta columns show how positioning is shifting across intraday, swing, and daily windows. Each cell includes a directional arrow (▲ ▼ ►) and percentage change, color-coded against your configured alert threshold. This gives you a layered read: is OI building across all timeframes, or only spiking on the short window?
Price-OI Divergence Detection
The SIGNAL column cross-references 24H price change against 24H OI change and classifies the move:
- WEAK▲ — Price rising but OI declining. Rally lacks new capital commitment. Potential short squeeze or exhaustion move.
- WEAK▼ — Price falling but OI rising. New positions opening into the drop. Potential capitulation trap or forced selling.
- STRONG▲ — Price and OI both rising. New money entering on the long side. Structurally supported move.
- STRONG▼ — Price and OI both falling. Positions closing out. Orderly deleveraging.
- NEUTRAL — No meaningful divergence.
Weak signals receive a highlighted background row to ensure they are not missed.
Multi-Symbol Table
Monitor BTC, ETH, SOL, and two custom perpetual contracts of your choice — all rendered in a single dashboard. The table includes configurable column visibility, so you can strip it down to just FR + divergence, or run the full 8-column view.
Aggregate Sentiment Footer
The bottom row averages funding rates across all active symbols and classifies the overall market into one of seven sentiment tiers — from 🟢 EXTREME FEAR through ⚪ NEUTRAL to 🔴 EXTREME GREED. A fast, blunt read on whether the derivatives market is skewing overleveraged in either direction.
Alerts
Four built-in alert conditions, all routed through TradingView's native alert system:
- Extreme Funding Rate — Any tracked symbol's absolute FR exceeds your configured threshold (default: 0.05%/8h).
- OI Surge — Any symbol's 1H OI change exceeds your OI alert threshold (default: 5%).
- OI-Price Divergence — A WEAK▲ or WEAK▼ signal fires on any tracked symbol.
- Sentiment Extreme — Aggregate average FR across all symbols reaches the extreme zone.
Data Sources & Configuration
The indicator supports two modes for funding rate data:
- Ticker Mode (default) — Pulls funding rate from your exchange's dedicated FR data feed using a configurable ticker suffix (default: `_FR`). Requires the exchange to publish FR data through TradingView.
- Basis Proxy Mode — Estimates the implied 8-hour funding rate from the perpetual-spot price spread: `(Perp − Spot) / Spot / 3`. Useful when direct FR tickers are unavailable. Note: this is an approximation, not the actual settlement rate.
Open interest data is fetched via configurable OI ticker suffix (default: `_OI`).
Important: Ticker formats vary across exchanges and TradingView data providers. If columns display "N/A", adjust the OI/FR suffix inputs under 🔌 Data Sources to match your exchange's naming convention. Consult your exchange's TradingView symbol search for the correct format.
Settings Overview
📊 Symbols — Exchange selector, 3 default symbols (BTC/ETH/SOL perpetuals), 2 optional custom slots.
🔌 Data Sources — OI suffix, FR suffix, FR method toggle, spot suffix override for basis proxy.
🚨 Thresholds — Extreme FR level, elevated FR level, OI alert percentage. These control both color intensity breakpoints and alert trigger levels.
🎨 Display — Table position (8 positions), text size (Tiny / Small / Normal / Large).
📋 Columns — Individual toggles for Price, Price Δ24H, Funding Rate, OI Δ1H, OI Δ4H, OI Δ24H, Divergence Signal, and Sentiment Footer. Disable any column you don't need to keep the table compact.
Technical Notes
- Uses 25 `request.security()` calls across 5 symbols (well within Pine Script's 40-call limit).
- OI changes are calculated from actual multi-timeframe requests (60min, 240min, Daily) — not bar-count estimates — so they remain accurate regardless of your chart's timeframe.
- Table renders only on the last bar (`barstate.islast`) for performance.
- Inactive custom symbol slots (left blank) fall back to the primary ticker internally and are hidden from the table.
How to Read It
Open the indicator on any chart. The table appears as an overlay (default: top-right corner). Scan left to right:
1. Symbol — Which asset.
2. Price — Current perpetual price.
3. Δ24H — Daily price change. Green = up, red = down.
4. FR /8h — Current funding rate per 8-hour interval. Bright color = elevated. Highlighted background = extreme.
5. OI Δ1H / 4H / 24H — Open interest change with directional arrows. Look for alignment across timeframes (all rising = strong conviction) or divergence (1H spiking, 24H flat = short-term noise).
6. SIGNAL — Divergence classification. WEAK▲ and WEAK▼ are the actionable signals — they indicate structural fragility in the current move.
7. Sentiment — Aggregate market tilt from combined funding rates.
Use Cases
- Scalpers & intraday traders — Monitor 1H OI spikes alongside funding rate to detect short-squeeze or long-squeeze setups forming in real time.
- Swing traders — Use the divergence signal column to filter entries. Avoid longing into WEAK▲ conditions; avoid shorting into WEAK▼.
- Portfolio monitors — Track funding costs across multiple positions simultaneously. Elevated aggregate sentiment warns of crowded positioning before liquidation cascades.
Complementary Tools
Designed to pair with liquidity heatmaps and liquidation level estimators. Funding rate tells you who is paying whom. OI tells you how much is at stake. Liquidity maps tell you where the pressure points are. Together, they give a full derivatives positioning read.
