    Can you back that statement up with evidence please.

    If you're trading options, try to understand synthetics first. For your example, read about "conversions" and "reversals".

  3. I think what the Original Poster is referring to is articles that talk about buying to increase open interest, as opposed to buying in the market and therefore not having a seller open a new position.
