Good afternoon!
What do YOU mean by OI?
If it is:
Then there is no such thing in MT5.
Isn'tSYMBOL_SESSION_INTEREST ? Or it just does not work yet?
What about SYMBOL_SESSION_BUY_ORDERS and SYMBOL_SESSION_SELL_ORDERS?
So this is information on orders . An order is not a position. It is definitely not an OI.

Definitely it is. This is it. Although watching the changes in the number of buy and sell orders is no less interesting.
P.S. Only works on servers which provide such information.

Yes exactly that. Strange then what is shown in the MT5 screenshot (just above). I understand that you can't compare graphs. You have to compare the numerical data. Then it will be clear what it is. Thanks for the tip that MT usually has to double-check everything 10 times...
Let's check. I will now post the figures and a screenshot of what Quick gives out, on OI and the number of buyers and sellers.

From top to bottom of the minutiae
1.Micex
2. Si
3. RIM5
4. open interest RIM5
5. number of buyers / sellers
I am attaching chart file 3 4 5 6.
If it's not difficult to check the data given by MT5 (I don't have it). All will become clear.
Not working......SymbolInfoDouble only gives current information on this data. You can't get the history from the server (by bars, for example) - it doesn't accumulate it. Only you have to collect it yourself.

Do you want to attach OM to arbitrage?
The idea is good, but how to take into account MIX/RTS?
The accuracy of 0.001 is already playing a huge role there...

Not necessarily. I use OM for other algorithms. There are many types of arbitrage, one of the classic ones is a stock against the futures of that stock. There's like a plaza, fast enough execution (used to be a total horror of 2 sec), there's a VPS analogue. You could try a couple of simple ones. I see some guys try to start calendar arbitrage, but with such quality of arrivals, it's unrealistic so far + no stocks + no options ....
Mikalas: if it is not difficult to check the data. Or send me that MT5 gives on this data (1 minute TF). I will check it myself.
