Please note that dollar-weighted put/call ratio's forward-looking window is from one tothree trading days from the signal day (why? in a capsule form, it has to do the pressurethe options market makers are under to stay delta neutral while dealing with the 3-daystock settlement rule). Once you are in the trade, you should monitor the up-to-datedollar-weighted put/call ratio reading as confirmation of the trade's direction; or, incase of reversal of the dollar-weighted put/call ratio reading, as an exit signal.
