Calculating our financial HOPE™ ratio creates new metrics for measuring investor sentiment about future price movements in a specific financial asset. Using expirationless option prices, HOPE ratio calculations can be made on virtually any financial asset including equities like Facebook®, currencies like the euro, commodities like oil and interest rate products like US Treasuries or the yield curve. Our HOPE ratio calculations will generally range between .75 and 4.75. Evenly balanced financial prices will have a primary HOPE ratio of 1.0. Prices containing very high expectations of future price appreciation will have HOPE ratios above 3.50. The process for making HOPE ratio calculations is currently protected as a trade secret.
