Terms & Concepts
  • Open interest: The total value or number of derivatives contracts that remain open rather than closed or settled.
  • Liquidation price: The market level at which a leveraged position is automatically closed because collateral no longer covers losses.
  • Leverage: Borrowed exposure that lets traders control a larger position than their posted collateral would otherwise support.
