PCR is computed by dividing open interest in a put contract on a particular day by open call interest on the very same day. Here PCR is computed by dividing the put trading volume by the call trading volume on a specific day. Here, Put volume indicates the total put options initiated over a specific time-frame.
The PCR ratio is calculated by dividing the total open interest of outstanding put options by the total open interest of outstanding call options for a specific security or market. The open interest represents the total number of options contracts that have not been exercised or expired.
