OT.. thanks for the digital thread. Yesterday, while driving (when all good thoughts make a brief appearance), I imagined the various derivative risks of an equity being mapped as weighted densities around the price point (bid-ask). These densities could be number values corresponding to varrying radius, like a corona around the sun.. or they could be mapped as color changes, or a combination of both color (for trading volume) and radius for open interest. Thus a visual representation of the stock with its derivatives would display as a bid ask value with varrying values above and below (calls-puts) the price, changing with open interest and volume. I imagine one would easily see such things as an overweighting of puts (an extreme lower corona) when a stock approaches being oversold, or vice-versa. Adding the ability to select and show this over time would be interstesting. So.. then I had to make a right turn onto Madison Ave before proceeding to my next destination... Hey, the Canadians did really well in the Olympics!
