I believe max pain is the point that creates the most misery and least happiness for shorts and longs combined. For longs alone, max pain is obviously zero, but a zero figure is not realized because their misery is offset by the happiness of the shorts as the price drops. Conversely, max pain for shorts is obviously infinite, but this is not realized due to the offsetting happiness of the longs at some price. That place in the "excluded middle" where the most people are the most unhappy before other people are really happy is supposed to be max pain. (I think :)
