♦️ It indicates how many open positions are there in the market.
♦️ It is useful in understanding the liquidity of the market. Bigger the OI more liquid is the market.
♦️ If u add up all long & short positions, it should be 0 always.

There’s a person who has a respectable corporate job, decent earnings, nice family & some good savings kitty parked in FD which he wants to invest in equities now. But he's lacking in financial knowledge & has no time for market research.
Then there’s a full-time trader. All his working hours are dedicated to equity market research, trading & investing. He daily monitors the market, news flow & has good technical & fundamental know how.
Are these two same kinds of investor?

Should they have the same investing behaviour?

Will the style of investment be same for them?

NO, obviously!
