The volume of put options traded to the number of call options traded currently
The Put Call ratio (alternately "Put to Call", "Put / Call") is a ratio comparing the volume of put options to the volume of call options traded on the CBOE.
It is often used as an indicator of market confidence; when the ratio is high (above 1.00) the profusion of put options suggests investors expect the market to go down. Conversely, a low number (below 1.00) suggests investors expect the market to go up based on the volume of call options.
