Abstract:
1. A method including: generating by a computing device a first area including a first highest bid price, a first lowest ask price, and a first identifier associated with a first tradeable object; generating by the computing device a second area including a second highest bid price, a second lowest ask price, and a second identifier associated with a second tradeable object; and generating by the computing device a first spread area including a first spread highest bid price and a first spread lowest ask price, wherein the first spread highest bid price and the first spread lowest ask price are associated with a first type of spread between the first tradeable object and the second tradeable object; displaying by the computing device the first area, the second area, and the first spread area, wherein the second area is displayed substantially adjacent to the first area along a first axis, wherein the first spread area is displayed along a second axis, wherein the second axis is parallel and substantially adjacent to the first axis, wherein the first spread area is substantially centered with respect to the first area and the second area to correlate the first type of spread to the first tradeable object and the second tradeable object; providing by the computing device a first order entry region configured to receive a command to initiate a trade order for the first tradeable object, wherein the first order entry region is provided in relation to the first area, wherein the trade order for the first tradeable object includes a price corresponding to one of the first highest bid price and the first lowest ask price; providing by the computing device a second order entry region configured to receive a command to initiate a trade order for the second tradeable object, wherein the second order entry region is provided in relation to the second area, wherein the trade order for the second tradeable object includes a price corresponding to one of the second highest bid price and the second lowest ask price; and providing by the computing device a first spread order entry region configured to receive a command to initiate a trade order for the first type of spread, wherein the first spread order entry region is provided in relation to the first spread area, wherein the trade order for the first type of spread includes a price corresponding to one of the first spread highest bid price and the first spread lowest ask price.
