Metrics

Metrics are a powerful new layer of analysis built on top of our existing data infrastructure. This feature enables the application of traditional technical indicators such as RSI, MACD, and several others to nearly all available data sources, including:

• Open Interest

• Volume by Side

• Order Book Depth

• Longs/Shorts

• Liquidations

• and more.

Currently available sources

Additional Custom Metrics

In addition to standard metrics, we’ve developed several non-traditional but highly practical metrics:

• Sum — Aggregates a value over a specified time period.

• Delta — Measures the difference between the current bar’s value and the previous one.

• Sum Delta — Accumulates the value of Delta (as described above) over a given time period.

Chart Visualization

Metrics can be visualized directly on the chart via a dedicated panel:

• Access it by clicking the "Options" button in the TradingView top bar, then selecting "Add a metric" or from the dedicated link inside of the Indicators panel:
