Option Chains by Open Interest

An option chain is every strike and expiration listed on a name, with what is traded and what is held at each one. These are the deepest chains we publish, ranked by total open interest — the contracts still outstanding across all expirations, which is where the positioning actually sits.

How this list is built

What the chain shows

Each row is one strike at one expiration: last price, volume traded today, and open interest for both the call and the put. Volume is one session; open interest is the position that survived every session before it.

Why rank on open interest rather than volume

Volume can be one large trade opened and closed the same day. Open interest only moves when a contract is created or retired, so a deep chain means real standing exposure — and it is what the max pain and open-interest wall calculations are built from.

Reading the put/call open-interest ratio

The ratio of put to call open interest is standing positioning, not sentiment. A bought put and a sold put both add to it, and only about 3.5% of legs print with a visible aggressor, so the ratio tells you what is held, never who wanted it.
