Max Pain is basically a system where the market makers buy or sell stock options on their own account to hedge the totals and equal out the public/institutional purchases and sales of options so that they are about equal in order to make the majority of option buyers lose money (Max Pain, I know, it is reprehensible isn't it?), and in the same game assure that they (the market makers) make the most on their own differences between buy and sell prices. Here is the Max Pain read-out access I use: http://www.maximum-pain.com/apple-max-pain.aspx I hope that link works for you, if not, let me know and I will find another way to send it to you if you would like it.
