I would like to use my indicator lights (Topic: Painting Watchlist Columns) on the Sub Industry Group on an intraday basis.  It appears there are some limitations to using the Sub Industry group on intraday basis based on other postings I've read.  Is either of two ideas below possible?   

1.) Is it possible to incorporate the Custom Index feature (Topic: Is the %Chg of any Morningstar Sub Industry Group live?) as an input to the 1 Day Price Block in the modified Percent Change Block Diagram ?  I copied the components of the Custom Index Indicator into the Percent Change Block, but there is a mismatch of data types.     

2.)  Is it possible for a user to create a nested watchlist similar to Sub Industry Group?  The goal would be to have a the nested watchlist behave on intrady basis as the Sub Industry group does on a daily basis.   
Example of WatchList: 
Main  -> My Sub Industry WatchList  
   Sub Group 1 -> My Sub Industry Titles (~209 Groups)
        Sub Group 2 -> My Sub Industry/Sector Components (~ 8 Stocks)

True. The Industry Groups do not stream in realtime.

You are going to basically need to replace the Price Block in the Watchlist Column's Block Diagram with most of the Blocks from the Custom Index. I've created an example so you can see how the Blocks in the Block Diagram go together.

You should be able to Open the attached Layout directly into a running copy of StockFinder. You can right-click on the Watchlist Column Header and select Block Diagram to view its Block Diagram and the modifications required.

Well you can certainly create the Watchlists as Personal Watchlists. That said, I do not know of a way to enforce the nested structure you envision or create a Watchlist containing other Watchlists instead of other symbols.
