Patent ID: 7711630

Claim:
A method for displaying market information of a tradeable object comprising: displaying, in a first screen region of a graphical user interface on a display of a computing device, a portion of a first value axis for a first tradeable object, the first value axis having a first plurality of locations, each of the first plurality of locations corresponding to a value for buy orders and sell orders for the first tradeable object; dynamically displaying an indicator relating to an inside market of the first tradeable object in one of the first plurality of locations in the first screen region, the indicator in the first screen region being displayed in relation to the portion of the first value axis and the inside market of the first tradeable object having a highest bid price for the first tradeable object and a lowest ask price for the first tradeable object; displaying, in a second screen region of the graphical user interface, a portion of a second value axis for a second tradeable object, the second value axis being non-collinear with the first value axis and having a second plurality of locations, each of the second plurality of locations being different than the first plurality of locations and corresponding to a value for buy orders and sell orders for the second tradeable object wherein the second screen region is displayed in relation to the first screen region; dynamically displaying an indicator relating to an inside market of the second tradeable object in one of the second plurality of locations in the second screen region, the indicator in the second screen region being displayed in relation to the portion of the second value axis, the inside market of the second tradeable object having a highest bid price for the second tradeable object and a lowest ask price for the second tradeable object and the second tradeable object being different than the first tradeable object; receiving a repositioning command via a user input device associated with the computing device; in response to the repositioning command, repositioning the first value axis, where the indicator relating to the inside market of the first tradeable object is displayed at a new location in the first screen region determined according to an algorithm for repositioning movement of the first axis; and in response to repositioning the first value axis, repositioning the second value axis, where the indicator relating to the inside market of the second tradeable object is displayed at a new location in the second screen region determined according to an algorithm for a repositioning relationship between the first value axis and the second value axis, the repositioning relationship defining changes in position of the second value axis relative to changes in position of the first value axis.
