Systems and methods to display chart bars with variable scaling and/or aggregation
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer device, market data related to a tradeable object offered at an exchange;
aggregating, by the computer device, a first data subset of the market data for a first period;
aggregating, by the computer device, a second data subset of the market data for a second period, the second period represents a period of time different from and before the first period;
aggregating, by the computer device, a third data subset of the market data for a third period, the third period represents a period of time different from the first period and the second period, and wherein the third period is before the second period;
defining, by the computer device, a first bar based on the first data subset and a first bar-width;
defining, by the computer device, a second bar based on the second data subset and a second bar-width, wherein the second bar-width is related to the first bar-width based on a width-scaling factor, and wherein the second bar-width is based on the width-scaling factor applied to the first bar-width and is narrower than the first bar-width;
defining, by the computer device, a third bar based on the third data subset and a third bar-width, wherein the third bar-width is related to the second bar-width based on the width-scaling factor, and wherein the third bar-width is scaled based on the width-scaling factor applied to the second bar-width and is narrower than the second bar-width;
displaying, by the computer device, the first bar and the second bar in a window, wherein the first bar and the second bar are separated by a first bar-spacing;
displaying, by the computer device, the third bar in the window in relation to the second bar, wherein the second bar and the third bar are separated by a second bar-spacing that is different than the first bar-spacing, wherein the second bar-spacing is related to the first bar-spacing based on a spatial-scaling factor, wherein the second bar-spacing is based on the spatial-scaling factor applied to the first bar-spacing and is less than the first bar-spacing;
detecting a user-input control overlapping with the second bar;
in response to the user-input control, displaying a second window in relation to the second bar;
defining a fourth bar based on the second data subset and the first bar-width; and
displaying the fourth bar in the second window.

Abstract
Example methods, apparatus, and computer readable storage media are described and disclosed. An example method includes receiving market data related to a tradeable object offered at an exchange, aggregating a first data subset of the market data for a first period, and aggregating a second data subset of the market data for a second period. The second period represents a period of time different from the first period. The example method includes defining a first bar based on the first data subset and a first bar-width, and defining a second bar based on the second data subset and a second bar-width. The second bar-width is related to the first bar-width based on a width-scaling factor. The example method includes displaying the first bar and the second bar in the window, wherein the first bar and the second bar are separated by a bar-spacing.
