Series 7: 5.2.5. Volume And Open Interest

Taken from our Series 7 Online Guide

5.2.5. Volume and Open Interest

The OCC publishes data on options trading on a daily basis. Two statistics that are of particular interest to traders are volume and open interest.

Volume is the number of options contracts traded during any given day. Open interest is the total number of options contracts that are currently open on a given day. Neither volume nor open interest is an indicator of price direction—that is, whether investors are bullish or bearish on an option. What they measure is an option’s liquidity: how actively a given option is being traded.

Volume changes throughout the trading day. Open interest is set at the beginning of a trading day and does not vary until the next morning. Volume measures the number of options contracts that change hands bet

Jeremy, I passed the Series 7 yesterday with an 87% using only your book and online practice tests. Thanks!

Aaron Johnson, Humble, TX

My oldest son purchased your Solomon audio exam guide to pass his Series 7, and I did the same for the Series 65 exam at his recommendation. Although I am 62 and have been out of college for forty(40) years, I passed my Series 65 exam on my first try. This would NOT have been possible without your excellent study materials. Thank you! for the service you provide to all aspiring test takers where so much is on the line!

Most Sincerely,

Solomon is the BEST!!! Passed the Series 7 on the first try. The lessons are videos and lessons are good. The practice exams are EXCELLENT. Focus on options and muni's. Load up on practice exams and you will be fine. Thank you Solomon!!!

The vocabulary on the test was slightly different, (they used the word tendered a lot) and so navigating the different financial vocabulary was a minor challenge. That being said, I felt comfortable in my knowledge and was able to break down and understand a large majority of the exam because of Solomon Exam Prep. I passed and felt confident!
I am so happy with Solomon! So far, I've passed the SIE and Series 7 exam because I used their program to study. I am currently using their program to study for the Series 66 now. The practice exams are invaluable and are the best way to learn! I would give 10/5 stars.

Just passed my Series 7 using Solomon Exam Prep! Have used Solomon for my Series 79 as well. Both study programs are excellent and felt well prepared sitting for my exams. Would recommend to others in the industry.

I passed first try! Three hours and forty-five minutes might seem like a long time, but it flew by. The Solomon Exam Prep conditioned me very well. Utilizing the chapter quizzes and practice exams really helped apply my learning, and also helped with time management. (Series 7)
