Although open interest is a measure utilized in the options markets, it could be used to forecast Waste Connections' spot prices because the number of available contracts in the market changes daily, and new contracts can be created or liquidated at will. Since open interest in Waste Connections' options reflects these daily shifts, investors could use the patterns of these changes to develop long and short-term trading strategies for Waste Connections stock based on available contracts left at the end of a trading day.
