Live options flow on ORTEX

For the real-time options surface — every put/call ratio, IV curve, unusual volume alert, and the full option chain — the platform is at app.ortex.com.

About options flow

Options flow tracks where traders are positioning via the options market — particularly put/call ratios (PCR), implied volatility (IV), and unusual option volume. A spike in put volume with stable share price suggests hedging or bearish positioning; unusual call volume can precede catalyst-driven moves.

ORTEX tracks PCR against its 20-day mean and flags z-score outliers — those are what trigger options pulses on ORTEX News.

Key options metrics ORTEX News tracks: put/call ratio (PCR), 20-day PCR mean and standard deviation, PCR z-score, and 52-week PCR high/low.
