How the values are worked out
- PCR (put-call ratio): total put open interest divided by total call open interest for the selected expiry.
- Max Pain: the strike where the total intrinsic value of all open calls and puts would be smallest at expiry, worked out from one expiry's open interest.
- ATM IV: the average of the call IV and the put IV at the ATM strike. Index options use Black-Scholes with the interest rate implied by the ATM call and put. MCX options use Black-76.
- Basis: for indices, the front-month future price minus spot. For MCX, the price implied by the ATM call and put minus the future price.
- GEX: see the GEX dashboard for how gamma exposure is measured.
