Details
Open Interest (OI) is a term referring to the total number of outstanding derivative contracts, like futures and options, that are not yet settled. Open Interest is often used as an indicator of the market's liquidity and can give an impression of money flowing into or out of a specific asset. High levels of Open Interest might suggest that new money is coming into the market, indicating an increased interest in the asset.
Volume is the measure of the number of contracts traded within a defined time frame. A high trading volume is often associated with lower spreads and higher order fulfillment rates, proving beneficial to traders.
These endpoints offer various ways to analyze OI and volume. They include views on a global scale, broken down by put and call options, specific instrument names, strike prices, and more. The purpose is to provide traders with a rich set of data to base their strategies on.
