A technical approach to the analysis of any organized market uses volume as an important input. The futures exchanges produce an additional vital statistic– open interest. The technical form that best lends itself to analysis of volume and open interest is the daily high-low-elose bar chart of a futures contract. Consequently, bar charts will be used to illustrate the concepts . Daily bar charting is heavily relied upon in “position” trading as opposed to shorter term techniques (point & figure, five-minute bar charts, etc.) utilized by traders. Volume and open interest changes should be important to all categories of market participants: short-term traders, foreign-exchange dealers, hedgers, and position traders.
