RtS, [edited] so PVI is calculated like this >To calculate the PVI simply divide today's put volume by a 10-day moving average of put volume. The threshhold reading for a BUY Signal is 2.0 or greater (today's put volume is twice the 10 DMA).< First of all we have to decide whether to use the equity put volume. I think we should. That can be had from CBOE, as you know. They'll e-mail it for free. Then it's a matter of putting it in a spread sheet. Or, just go with Schaeffer's equity p/c ratio - posted daily but delayed by a day. I haven't seen a chart of PVI. In fact never knew just puts could be used as an indicator. Wait, Decision Point has charts of it for subscribers [$12/month]. I would not use it because it is much too busy for me. They call it Bollinger PVI.
