Open Interest Open Interest reflects the total number of active futures contracts on Binance Futures, since the screener operates exclusively on Binance data. OI is a cumulative metric, meaning its value does not depend on timeframe — it is identical across all timeframes, because the total number of open contracts is the same at any given moment.\ However, OI Change % is *timeframe-dependent*. The percentage change is calculated relative to the value from the previous check on the selected timeframe (e.g., previous 1h point, previous 4h point, previous 15m point, etc.). This allows the screener to track both absolute OI levels and timeframe-specific dynamics.

Parameter	Description	Example
Open Interest Greater than	Triggers when open interest exceeds the configured value.	A BTCUSDT.P 1h alert with 200M fires once OI surpasses 200M USDT.
Open Interest Less than	Alerts when OI decreases below the threshold.	An ETHUSDT.P 4h alert with 90M fires once OI drops below 90M USDT.
OI Change % Greater than	Triggers when Open Interest increases by the specified percentage relative to the previous point on the selected timeframe.	If set to “+5%”, the alert fires when OI change reaches +5%, +6%, +10%, +15%, etc. If set to “-5%”, the alert fires when OI change rises above –5%, including –4%, –3%, 0%, +5%, +10%, etc.
OI Change % Less than	Alerts when Open Interest decreases by the specified percentage relative to the previous point on the selected timeframe.	If set to “–5%”, the alert fires when OI change reaches –5%, –6%, –10%, –15%, etc. If set to “+5%”, the alert fires when OI change falls below +5%, including values like +4%, +3%, 0%, –5%, –10%, etc.
