[Editor's note] Options are derivatives used to take leveraged exposure to an underlying asset or hedge existing positions. Calls give holders the right to buy at a predetermined price, while puts give holders the right to sell. Open interest measures outstanding contracts and indicates the accumulated size of positions.

Call and put shares, alongside changes in open interest and trading volume, help distinguish accumulated positioning from daily trading activity. These measures do not establish traders' intentions on their own: options can serve directional, hedging or volatility strategies.
