You got me excited there for a minute - but then I saw "snapshot of the entry prices for currently opened positions on OANDA's books"

This means it would likely be a contrarian indi - if it were possible - which I doubt..

FWIW, we've been testing something related: http://www.mt4i.com/WisdomOfCrowds.aspx. Produces similar results to http://fxtrade.oanda.com/tools/statistical_information/fx_open_position_ratios.shtml

 

this is so cool

i think the more users, the more accurate the statistics will be.

It's not quite that simple. The grid is built from a javascript array. It's not just a question of grabbing an html file, identifying a table, and then parsing each <td>. Also, the page is under constant development which means that parsing would be trying to hit a moving target...

...but it would be very easy for us to build an indicator which periodically requests a copy of the data.
