Introduction to Open Interest

Open Interest represents the number of outstanding contracts for Future and Option contracts. For Options, every strike price of Option contract has an individual Open Interest value. It can also be defined as the total number of Future or Option contracts that has not been squared off. Open Interest tends to zero value at the expiry day of derivatives market as every one squares off their open positions.
There is a very tight co-relation between Open Interest, Price and Volume. It helps to interpret the trend of Market very effectively. An increase in open interest along with an increase in price is said to confirm an upward trend. Similarly, an increase in open interest along with a decrease in price confirms a downward trend. An increase or decrease in prices while open interest remains flat or declining may indicate a possible trend reversal. Te relationship between Open Interest, Price and Volume can be summarized in the following table:
