Heinz,

Thanks for the link, also thanks Haim.

I mainly trade the OEX intraday, but when the ratios get out of line it may signal a trend change. On the equity side, I would look for a number less than .3 for a good short term bearish indicator. On the OEX a number of 1.1 or less. The OEX put/call data has been skewed IMHO for a long time as a result of high premiums on puts and the big money boys buying insurance and hedging by selling OTM puts against those nearer the strike. I think that I will keep a log of the ratios for some reference.

Good Trading

Dave

Hi Heinz

I've been meaning to ask you .. have you been tracking open interest?

That would show the pattern if there were a large batch of OEX puts being written, which would be a bullish viewpoint, or being purchased, which would be a bearish viewpoint.
