My understanding is that @spc is the arms(trin) index of puts trading and
that @scc is the arms(trin) index of the calls trading. These are not true
put/call ratio indexes because they do not report the volume of puts and
calls being traded on the CBOE. Please someone correct me if I am wrong and
also provide the symbol for the real put/call ratio. Good Trading.
