There is, it's just lousy as you only get one line, the amount of orders at the bid and ask. But it helps, when you see 300 contracts hit either side when normally is 5 or 10, and they get snapped up it's meaningful <g> Supposedly a few brokers have what they call "depth of market" info, and my broker is getting it soon, but I've also heard that can mess you up, as they play the usual ticks to fool the masses. I find time and sales very useful - as I watch whether it's the bid or ask getting hit, and the money flow on Qcharts as it moves up and down, indicating which side the pressure is coming from.
