Hi to all. Is there any way to create a label or an indicator that tracks pull/call ratio for any specific stock. I know that $PCALL can be shown on the chart. Thank you

This one is for DIA, SPY QQQ etc, although if it can be modified to have input of particular stock..

AMZN specific:

Code: 
declare lower;

    def series = 1;



    def CurrentYear = GetYear();



    def CurrentMonth = GetMonth();



    def CurrentDOM = GetDayOfMonth(GetYYYYMMDD());

How to use PUT CALL ratio? What can be determined ? Will it give any additional indication to buy or sell call/put

Thx

It can be used to get a general idea around where the market thinks a stock is headed, P/C ratio of 4 and plenty of people are betting on a stock going down. P/C ration of .05 and the market is very confident in that stock. It is also important to consider the option chain when making a predictions. Are most of these puts or calls being bought for a strike in the near term or farther out? This gives you an idea of the time frame of the expected move. But be warned it can be effective but is not the holy grail, these assumptions fail to account for things like hedging.

@YungTraderFromMontana , That was a very good answer. Feel encouraged to keep answering where you feel appropriate. The more voices we have, the better the comunity! Don't think your answer may be wrong, if you're out of line or the answer is debatable, that's good. That way we all learn what we think we know. Markos

Thank you , I am performing the validation and I have observed the same 7/1 ratio forAMZN 9-20-2019 7 am pst. Then amzn dropped 15 $ . Appreciate the input. Is it possible to show the current weekly on chart rather than 3 weeks away . If you point out the code line I will try to adjust

Can I just place ROKU instead of SPY into this?

Hey you! You've been out a bit lately. That's ok, just teasing. (Actually I say a lot of silly stuff 🤪 )
Take the code in post #4 and change all of the instances of "AMZN" to "ROKU", copy paste. That should be all.

Folks, given the recent interest in this thread, rather than hardcode symbols into the study, I have modified the study to take an input ticker, e.g. AAPL, or FB, or GS, etc and it will display the info requested. All you got to do is to change the symbol of your preference in the UI. Hence from symbol to symbol, not much work is required other than changing the value of the input symbol in the user interface. Hope this helps

Code: 
# Put/Call
# 11.9.2019

declare lower;
    input symbol = "AMZN";
    def series = 1;
    def CurrentYear = GetYear();
    def CurrentMonth = GetMonth();
    def CurrentDOM = GetDayOfMonth(GetYYYYMMDD());
    def Day1DOW1 = GetDayOfWeek(CurrentYear * 10000 + CurrentMonth * 100 + 1);
    def FirstFridayDOM1 = if Day1DOW1 < 6
                          then 6 - Day1DOW1
                          else if Day1DOW1 == 6
                          then 7
                          else 6;
    def RollDOM = FirstFridayDOM1 + 14;
    def ExpMonth1 = if RollDOM > CurrentDOM
                    then CurrentMonth + series - 1
                    else CurrentMonth + series;
    def ExpMonth2 = if ExpMonth1 > 12
                    then ExpMonth1 - 12
                    else ExpMonth1;
    def ExpYear = if ExpMonth1 > 12
                  then CurrentYear + 1
                  else CurrentYear;
    def Day1DOW = GetDayOfWeek(ExpYear * 10000 + ExpMonth2 * 100 + 1);
    def FirstFridayDOM = if Day1DOW < 6
                         then 6 - Day1DOW
                         else if Day1DOW == 6
                         then 7
                         else 6;
    def ExpDOM = FirstFridayDOM + 14;
    def date = ExpYear * 10000 + ExpMonth2 * 100 + ExpDOM + 1;
    def PutVolume = if isNaN(volume(symbol = GetATMOption(symbol, date, OptionClass.PUT)))
                    then PutVolume[1]
                    else volume(symbol = GetATMOption(symbol, date, OptionClass.PUT));
    def CallVolume = if isNaN(volume(symbol = GetATMOption(symbol, date, OptionClass.CALL)))
                     then CallVolume[1]
                     else volume(symbol = GetATMOption(symbol, date, OptionClass.CALL));
    def PutTotal = PutVolume;
    def CallTotal = CallVolume;
AddLabel(yes,(concat("Ex date: ",
              concat(ExpMonth2,
              concat("/",
              concat(ExpDOM,
              concat("/",
              concat(AsPrice(ExpYear),""))))))), color.white);
   def Strike = Round(close(symbol = symbol) / .5, 0) * .5;
AddLabel(1, "Strikes " + symbol + ": $" + Strike, Color.White);
AddLabel(yes, Concat("ATM Put/Call Ratio ", Round(PutTotal / CallTotal, 2)) + " / 1", Color.White);
   def PV = if IsNaN(PutTotal)
            then PV[1]
            else PutTotal;
   def CV = if IsNaN(CallTotal)
            then CV[1]
            else CallTotal;
plot ChangeRatio = if isNaN(close) then Double.NaN else PV / CV;
     ChangeRatio.AssignValueColor(if ChangeRatio > 1
                 then color.green
                 else color.red);
plot AvgCR = if isNaN(close) then Double.NaN else Average(ChangeRatio, 5);
     AvgCR.SetDefaultColor(Color.Yellow);
plot Neutral = if isNaN(close) then Double.NaN else 1;
     Neutral.SetDefaultColor(Color.Gray);

@tomsk Could I trouble you to explain how to use this indicator? I don't know how to interpret the code.
Sometimes on the chart, I see a huge spike upwards, Changeratio at 300, and AvgCR is at 60. What does this mean?

@Playstation Read this information captioned above from @YungTraderFromMontana - his response helps newcomers understand.

@Playstation As an example, run that study on a daily chart of AMZN, the P/C Ratio is 7.05/1.
And on AAPL the P/C Ratio is 0.45/1. What are the odds? AMZN has bearish odds while AAPL has bullish odds
This of course does not mean you need to run off and buy/sell these stocks, but do monitor the P/C Ratio

Have fun!

@tomsk, First I would like to thanks for your contribution on this form. I have couple of question.
1. in Post #11 "All you got to do is to change the symbol of your preference in the UI. "instead of , is it way to pick automatically from main chart. :unsure:
2. Call/Put ratio value shows based on ATM , am i correct.?
3.Call/Put ration value calculated based on Weekly or Monthly chain.? or this will change based on our chart time frame.
