Hello Sierra Chart Support,
I am reviewing historical CME E-mini S&P 500 futures options .dly files for my own quantitative research.
In this example:
E1AV26 P6275.FUT_OPT.CME.dly
I see:
2026/09/30: Volume 54083, OpenInterest 0
2026/10/01: Volume 0, OpenInterest 54083
Could you please confirm whether the OpenInterest shown on the 2026/10/01 row represents the end-of-day Open Interest resulting from trading on 2026/09/30?
I need to understand the date alignment correctly to avoid look-ahead bias in historical research.
Thank you.
