geez..sun-tzu..why the hackles? or is that my imagination? p/c ratio is a volume ratio volume is NOT open interest check volume on any given day for any contract the resulting OI difference (next day update) is usually (hardly ever the same) different from the total volume for that contract from the previous day i have been checking the OI as the P/C has spiked not much appreciable increase in puts over calls at least for the front month not much appreciable increase in premium for puts either some artifact of possible longer term positions or near term positions like march etc i think we get a retest by end of month but we have seen the lows for now i am using several indicators too most important for me is price ..price charts and MAs daily weekly monthly sure am looking at vix daily weekly vxn and know (heard a theory) why they are behaving differently i agree opinions get one into trouble did i say u had one? we all do we all have a bias when we take a position we constantly look for verification (some may say they look for contrary stuff but bias leads us the other way to look for verification AFTER taking a position) then we post what we see as confirming factors then we get into such discussions anyway good luck u could be right gotta go

the worst thing that a trader can have is an opinion put another way, it's not being wrong that costs you money, it's being stubborn that costs you money.
