Put to Call Ratio Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Put to Call Ratio.
PCR = #P / #C
- Where PCR is the Put to Call Ratio ( )
- #P is the total volume of puts
- #C is the total volume of calls
How to Calculate Put to Call Ratio?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Put to Call Ratio.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total volume of puts.
- The total volume of puts is given as: 5,000.
- Next, determine the total volume of calls.
- The total volume of calls is provided as: 10,000.
- Finally, calculate the Put to Call Ratio using the equation above:
PCR = #P / #C
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
PCR = 5,000 / 10,000 = .50
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
total volume of puts = 7,000
total volume of calls = 4,000
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.
PCR = #P / #C = ?
