the instant technical indicator

if the ratio of
the turnover of
the top traded 2 put-options for the day
to
the turnover of
the top traded 2 call-options for the day
is between 0.80 to 0.99
or more than 1.30
the market is likely to remain buoyant!

if this ratio
is below 0.8
or between 1.00 to 1.30
the market is likely to slip!

  3. hi shan,

    is it put divided by call

    then 933392/969773 then ratio works around 0.96

    or

    call divided by put (9697773/933392)then it works out o be 1.03

    kindly correct me ........

    getting confused...

  4. dear rajamani
    it is put divided by call
    rather sum of no. of contracts (or turnover) of top 2 puts by the sum of no. of contracts (or turnover) of top 2 calls.

  6. dear dr.aurora,

    this applies to stock options also.

    instead of turnover, u can use no. of contracts/lots traded

    change in open interest is different and not to be used here!

  8. dear dr.sidharth,
    yes, i noticed the aberration. it is apparent that this indicator, or any indicator for that matter, can't be followed blindly. 2 or 3 indicators in tandem are more accurate.
    when people driving the car give the left turn indicator but turn right, operators too can bull-doze the indicator.
    on a more serious note, indicators indicate the pressure and undercurrent. but there it is not a certainty. liquidity (courtesy retail investors driven by sentiments or courtesy operators driven by brute purchasing/dumbing power) can create a short-term tide!
    thru the article, i shared the concept which is based on logic. the concept is, though, vulnerable to forces.
    regards
