  4. Neo,

    Check out any of the major futures exchange's web site.

    There should be a link somewhere on their page describing the futures contracts in general, along with a definition for open interest.

    That shall answer many questions for you, and give you more info in regards to trading futures contracts in general.

    just some infos on the Eurex...

    The EuroStoxx50 is comfortable to trade. The Euro Bund is little more difficult and the Dax is the more difficult market on the Eurex.
    I like the EuroStoxx50 the most because it is very stable. Behind it are the 50 largest companies in Europe. Behind the Dax are the 30 largest companies from Germany. The Dax and the EuroStoxx are very similar in their moves. One thing that separates them is that the Dax is much more nervous and reaches much faster a close trailing stop than the EuroStoxx. For this reason I like the EuroStoxx....

    here some charts..
