The OI (Open Interest) measures the number of contracts that have not been closed out or delivered at the end of each trading session. A contract is included within the OI until it is offset by an opposite transaction. Volume and OI are indicators of the intensity of a market’s movement or the pressure on price change, which helps to understand the direction taken by the market’s trend and the market’s importance.
