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.

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.
