This is a utility for storing the data on open interest (OI), ratio of buyer/seller orders' number and the ratio of buyer/seller orders' volumes on the Russian FORTS futures market. This is the first product of the series. Now, you can trace history of the specified data in real time in МТ5 terminal. This allows you to develop brand new trading strategies or considerably improve the existing ones.
The data received from FORTS market is stored as a database (text CSV or binary one at user's discretion). Thus, upon completion of a trading session and disabling the terminal (or PC), the data is saved and can be used after the terminal is re-launched. For example, it can be displayed as a graph.
The data is saved in the following format - as M1 candles of the DateTime;Open;High;Low;Close form, where DateTime - М1 bar beginning time, Open - the value at the beginning of М1 bar, High/Low - high/low value and Close - the value at the moment M1 bar is closed (and a new one is opened). Thus, you can see the changes of the open interest inside the bar and examine its dynamics in comparison with the neighboring bars. Separate fields are separated by a semicolon.
Sample entry in CSV file:
2014.04.21 12:28:00;1200272;1200274;1200174;1200176 2014.04.21 12:29:00;1200176;1200200;1199910;1200118
Parameters
-
Use CSV-file: Yes - history is saved in a text CSV file; No - history is saved in a binary file. In the binary format, the data takes up less disk space and is accessed faster. This advantage is significant only in case of large amounts of data (several months).
-
Use Common Directory: Yes - use common directory to store history database (for all terminals); No - each МТ5 terminal installed in the system saves data in its own directory: "MQL5/Files/OpenInterest" - for the open interest, "MQL5/Files/TotalOrders" - for the number of orders, "MQL5/Files/OrdersVolume" - for the volume of orders.
