ISEE Select™ is an intuitive browser application that uses a unique methodology to calculate bullish and bearish investor sentiment for almost any security whose options are traded on the ISE. ISEE Select uses the same calculation methodology as our well-respected ISEE Sentiment Index�. Unlike the traditional put/call ratio, the ISEE Select sentiment is based on opening long customer transactions only. Trades by market makers and firms are excluded as these tend to skew sentiment value. As a result, ISEE Select�s sentiment index calculation provides a more accurate reflection of true investor sentiment. For more details on our calculation methodology, please refer to http://www.iseoptions.com/sentiment.

Yes, all subsequent intraday calculations use the cumulative number of trades for all calls and all puts to open. All subsequent intraday calculations use the cumulative number of trades for all calls and all puts to open.top |

ISEE sentiment is computed by dividing opening Long Call options by Opening Long Put options.
For example, if 5,000 call options to open traded and 2,000 put options to open traded, the sentiment value would be 250.

Based on our unique formula for calculating sentiment, a very low sentiment value indicates that more put options are trading than call options. Conversely, a very high sentiment value indicates that more call options are trading than put options. Long positions of call options to open are generally viewed as a bullish transaction and long positions of put options are generally viewed as a bearish transaction. Therefore, a higher ISEE value represents more bullish sentiment for the underlying security and a lower ISEE value represents a more bearish sentiment for the underlying security.

The ISEE Index value is calculated on hundreds of securities so large trades in individual securities are smoothed out in the ISEE Index i.e. the annual high is 232 and the annual low is 63. If you retrieve the sentiment value using the ISEE Select Query Tool you are looking at the sentiment value for a single security. If you click on the chart icon in the data display window, you will notice the calculated values for ISEE Select can range from very low to very high in comparison to the ISEE Index. For comparison purposes, you should look at the range for a single security when possible and also see how that value compares with the average values for the last 10, 20, and 50 day averages which are also displayed. The charting icon will display the historical sentiment values over time which is another useful tool to assist you with your analysis and may help you interpret the current sentiment value.
