# Binance Open Interest + SMA
An indicator showing open interest (OI) in US dollars ($) for Binance USD-margined perpetual contracts. This means the indicator shows the total value of all open perpetual contracts on the Binance platform for the ticker being charted. As such, it can provide insights into market activity for an asset and trading interest, as rising open interest suggests many traders are opening new positions and new money is flowing into the market, and vice-versa. It is also an indicator of the liquidity of the asset's perpetuals contracts, as it reflects the amount of money in a given perpetuals market.
The candle data is shown as expected, with green candles indicating the IU at close is greater than at open, red indicating a lower OI at close than open, with the bodies indicating the open and close prices, and any wicks representing an OI value within that timeframe that went above or below the closing or opening OI.
Unlike other Binance open interest indicators on the platform, this one does not require user input and will automatically pull open interest data for the ticker being looked at, allowing for quicker access to open interest data. It also presents the open interest data in candle format, providing more detail into the open interest at a given timeframe.
Please note that this indicator will only work for assets which Binance offers USD-margined perpetual contracts for, and otherwise will not work.
## Instructions:
Simply add the indicator to your chart and open the asset you would like to chart. If a Binance perpetual contract exists for the asset, the open interest value will be charted. If no chart is generated, no Binance open interest data is available for charting.
To remove the SMA, uncheck the “SMA” box in the style section in the indicator settings. You can also change the source and length of time the SMA data is calculated from in the inputs section. By default, it is based off of the closing value and a length of 15 timeframes.
