I am focusing mostly on QQQ and a few Naz100 stocks for now. I have automated the "gathering process" already. I use only AMEX exchange data however, so I need to add CBOE + others. I calculate the max pain and $$ values based on volume and OI (I use the average bid/ask for price * volume or OI). I need to check my max pain values against what others do to make sure they are correct. I just haven't spent the time figuring out how to handle the absolute $$ analysis yet. BTW, CBOE site lists QQQ options from AMEX, CBOE, PHLX, ISE and Pacific. All have same OI except PHLX and ISE. Do you know why?
