HMAP: Market Heatmap Command

HMAP is the Godel Terminal command for viewing the intraday movement of an index, or any of your watchlists, as a market-cap-weighted heatmap. Tiles are grouped by sector, sized by your chosen metric, and update live. Currently in Beta.

How to use HMAP

Command:

HMAP

HMAP command showing the S&P 500 as a market-cap-weighted heatmap grouped by sector, green and red tiles sized and labeled by percent change

Map an index or a watchlist

The toolbar starts you on the S&P 500 and DJIA presets. The watchlist selector next to them maps any of your own watchlists instead, so the same heatmap works for your coverage universe, a sector list, or anything else you track in QM.

HMAP watchlist selector open on the DJIA heatmap, listing user watchlists such as Pharma, Crypto, Banks, Semis, and Chemicals

Pick a watchlist and the map redraws with just those names, still sector-grouped and market-cap-weighted:
