Live Put-Call Ratio (PCR) for Indian Options
OI PCR and volume PCR, recomputed live across the full chain — read sentiment as it shifts.
The put-call ratio is the quickest read on options sentiment, but a once-a-day number tells you little. Quintal Mind computes both OI PCR and volume PCR live across the full Nifty, BankNifty and Sensex chain so you see sentiment turn in real time.
A high PCR can signal an oversold, fearful market; a low PCR can signal complacency. Watching it move intraday — and at the strike level — turns a blunt number into a usable contrarian signal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the put-call ratio (PCR)?
PCR divides put activity by call activity. OI PCR uses open interest (put OI / call OI); volume PCR uses traded volume. It is a widely used gauge of options sentiment in Indian markets.
How do I read PCR?
A high PCR often signals a fearful or oversold market and is read by contrarians as bullish; a low PCR signals complacency and is read as bearish. Watching it live makes the signal far more useful than a daily snapshot.
Does it show OI PCR and volume PCR?
Yes — Quintal Mind computes both, live across the full chain, at the index and strike level.
