Claim:
A method for displaying information related to a plurality of tradable objects in an electronic trading environment via a market map, the method comprising: receiving at a client terminal coupled with an electronic exchange, first market information for at least a first tradable object and second market information for a second tradable object from the electronic exchange, the first market information identifying working orders for a first tradable object and the second market information identifying working orders for a second tradable object; displaying at the client terminal, a market map including a plurality of price levels of a first static price axis and a plurality of price levels of a second static price axis, the first static price axis associated with the working orders for the first tradable object and the second static price axis associated with the working orders for the second tradable object; receiving at the client terminal, an adjustment parameter between the first static price axis and the second static price axis representing a repositioning relationship between the first static price axis and the second static price axis, where a shift in position of the first static price axis relative to the market map is unequal to shift in position of the second static price axis relative to the market map; displaying, for a first working order for the first tradable object, an indicator along the first static price axis at a price level corresponding to a price of the first working order; displaying, for a second working order for the second tradable object, displaying an indicator along the second static price axis at a price level corresponding to a price of the second working order; repositioning the first static price axis relative to the market map according to a user input command received via an input device, where price levels of the first static price axis, and indicators displayed relative thereto, each shift a same number of price levels along the first static price axis relative to the market map; and repositioning the second static price axis in response to repositioning the first static price axis such that price levels of the second static price axis each shift a second number of price levels relative to the market map according to the adjustment parameter.
