Best Answer

Open interest indicates the number of open contracts in futures trading. An open futures contract consists of a long and a short trading a single contract. Some exchanges treat that as 1 open interest while some exchanges treat that as 2 since two parties are involved in the trade. In general, the more open interest a futures contract has, the more liquid it is.
