The open orders chart shows the pending buy and sell orders of OANDA clients worldwide, arranged by price level. The bars at each price level show the proportion of buy and sell orders as a percentage of total buys and sells across all levels.

• Orange represents sell orders at specific prices (below and above the current market).
• Green represents buy orders at specific prices (below and above the current market).

The chart shows data from the last 24 hours and is updated every 30 minutes. The highlighted horizontal lines display the current price.

The chart splits into four areas which relate to buy orders below the current market (buy limit), buy orders above market (buy stop), sell orders above market (sell limit), and sell orders below market (stop orders).

The open position chart gives data from the perspective of the open positions of OANDA clients globally.

Depending on the price level on the chart, you’ll see the distribution of long and short positions held, the profitability (unrealised P&L), and the proportion of total longs and shorts across all price levels.

By seeing how OANDA’s client orders and net positions are distributed across price levels, you have an additional tool that will help analyse potential support and resistance levels at various price points.
