Overview

Each line extends from the latest bar to its settlement timestamp, with line width dynamically scaled according to open interest volume. Labels indicate the expiration date, strike price, and optional open interest metrics. Users can update levels by pasting an external data string, toggle open interest in labels, and hide expired contracts.

Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
