Overnight open interest change

Settlement dates 2026-10-21 and 2026-10-22; it updates once per trading day, after the next open interest settlement is archived, next after 5:30 a.m. PT on Monday, Oct 26, 2026. This is the difference in exchange-reported open interest between two daily settlements. It is not volume and not order flow. Each row is one strike and expiration, not a trade.

Computed from the Oct 22 settlement. Next update after the Oct 23 settlement, after 5:30 a.m. PT (8:30 a.m. ET) on Monday, Oct 26, 2026.

Open interest change between two daily settlements. Not volume, not order flow, not advice. Machine-readable version.

How to read this

Is this real-time?
No. Open interest is published once per session from the settled open interest archive. This page compares two completed settlement snapshots and is refreshed once per session before the open.
Is a build bullish?
An increase in open interest at a strike means more contracts are open there than at the prior settlement. It does not record which side initiated the change or why positions were added.
Where does the data come from?
Delayed exchange quotes, archived at settlement. Each row is one strike and expiration with the change in reported open interest between two settlement dates.
