Before comparing across time

as of Thu 15 Oct 15:30

Open interest is in shares. Traded volume is in contracts before July 2024 and in shares after, so volumes are not compared across that change.

The lot size changed from 1,525 to 1,925 on 29 Apr 2026; contracts either side are compared in shares, not lots.
