1. A method including:

  • receiving by a computing device market data;

    determining by the computing device a first plurality of buy traded quantities for a first time period based on the received market data, wherein each buy traded quantity in the first plurality of buy traded quantities is associated with a price level of a plurality of price levels;

    determining by the computing device a first plurality of sell traded quantities for the first time period based on the received market data, wherein each sell traded quantity in the first plurality of sell traded quantities is associated with a price level of the plurality of price levels;

    determining by the computing device a second plurality of buy traded quantities for a second time period based on the received market data, wherein each buy traded quantity in the second plurality of buy traded quantities is associated with a price level of the plurality of price levels, wherein the second time period is different than the first time period;

    determining by the computing device a second plurality of sell traded quantities for the second time period based on the received market data, wherein each sell traded quantity in the second plurality of sell traded quantities is associated with a price level of the plurality of price levels;

    generating by the computing device a first plurality of buy traded quantity indicators associated with the first plurality of buy traded quantities, wherein each buy traded quantity indicator in the first plurality of buy traded quantity indicators represents the corresponding buy traded quantity;

    generating by the computing device a first plurality of sell traded quantity indicators associated with the first plurality of sell traded quantities, wherein each sell traded quantity indicator in the first plurality of sell traded quantity indicators represents the corresponding sell traded quantity;

    generating by the computing device a second plurality of buy traded quantity indicators associated with the second plurality of buy traded quantities, wherein each buy traded quantity indicator in the second plurality of buy traded quantity indicators represents the corresponding buy traded quantity;

    generating by the computing device a second plurality of sell traded quantity indicators associated with the second plurality of sell traded quantities, wherein each sell traded quantity indicator in the second plurality of sell traded quantity indicators represents the corresponding sell traded quantity;

    displaying by the computing device an axis including a plurality of locations, wherein each location in the plurality of locations is associated with a price level in the plurality of price levels;

    displaying by the computing device each buy traded quantity indicator of the first plurality of buy traded quantity indicators along the axis at a location of the plurality of locations corresponding to the price level associated with the respective buy traded quantity in the first plurality of buy traded quantities;

    displaying by the computing device each sell traded quantity indicator of the first plurality of sell traded quantity indicators along the axis at a location of the plurality of locations corresponding to the price level associated with the respective sell traded quantity in the first plurality of sell traded quantities;

    displaying by the computing device each buy traded quantity indicator of the second plurality of buy traded quantity indicators along the axis at a location of the plurality of locations corresponding to the price level associated with the respective buy traded quantity in the second plurality of buy traded quantities, wherein the second plurality of buy traded quantity indicators are overlaid on the first plurality of buy traded quantity indicators; and

    displaying by the computing device each sell traded quantity indicator of the second plurality of sell traded quantity indicators along the axis at a location of the plurality of locations corresponding to the price level associated with the respective sell traded quantity in the second plurality of sell traded quantities, wherein the second plurality of sell traded quantity indicators are overlaid on the first plurality of sell traded quantity indicators.
