I like this idea. I wonder what the best way to see breadth in a trading platform is. Perhaps a watchlist of sector ETFs, or a watchlist of the top ## stocks that comprise the S&P?

I saw someone posted FinViz's S&P 500 Map visualization to stocktwits today and I was wondering if anyone's aware of anything like that in eSignal or Trader Workstation. I don't really have a specific goal in mind, but it seemed like it could be something useful. I'm also interested to hear...

Is there some way to view (and chart) the put/call volume ratio for a particular equity? I know you can view it for all equities, all indices, or all equities+indices combined, but how about for a particular stock? I'd like to be able to do this in eSignal or Trader Workstation, but if...
