CBOE Intra-Day Put/Call Volume -- Half Hourly Exchange Volume Report: http://www.cboe.com/data/IntraDayVol.aspx
#msg-36122366
.50 = extreme complacency (excessive call buying = i.e, bearish)
.75 to 1.0 == neutral
1.0 to 1.25 = MORE put buying (i.e, signals nearer END of move, ie bullish)
1.4 to 1.7 likely END of down-move (March 2007 bottom = 1.7)
ISEE Index (unique--only uses OPENING/LONG public transactions to calculate put/call value)
Intraday Summary Updated Every 20 Minutes - Sentiment Data - Call/Put Volume
Note: correctly should be called a call/put ratio!! (numbers are opposite of CBOE put/call ratio)
http://www.ise.com/WebForm/viewPage.aspx?categoryId=126&header3=true&menu0=true
The ISE Sentiment Index is a unique put/call value that only uses OPENING LONG CUSTOMER transactions to calculate bullish/bearish market direction. Opening long transactions are thought to best represent market sentiment because investors often buy call and put options to express their actual market view of a particular stock. Market maker and firm trades, which are EXCLUDED, are not considered representative of true market sentiment due to their specialized nature. As such, the ISEE calculation method allows for a more accurate measure of true investor sentiment than traditional put/call ratios.
ISEE > 100 More customers have opened long call options than put options.
ISEE < 100 More customers have opened long put options than call options
Historical ISEE Date (Previous Trading Day 118 11/09/2007)
Note: 10/29/07 (market TOP) = 191 (ie, More customers have opened long call options = BEARISH)
observation: DAILY and 20-minute (extreme readings) seem useful
(observation: 10-Day, 20-Day, and 50-Day (139, 135, and 135) seem USELESS)
52-Week High 212 05/07/2007 (really means: 2.12 = excessive call buying = bearish)
52-Week Low 51 08/07/2007 (really means: 0.51 = excessive put buying = bullish)

Circuit Breaker Rule: The halt for a 10% decline would be one hour if it occurred before 2 p.m., and for 30 minutes if it occurred between 2 and 2:30, but would not halt trading at all after 2:30. The halt for a 20% decline would be two hours if it occurred before 1 p.m., and between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. for one hour, and close the market for the rest of the day after 2 p.m. If the market declined by 30%, at any time, trading would be halted for the remainder of the day. http://www.nyse.com/press/circuit_breakers.html
