First Claim
1. Method for the configurable charting of time-related data, such as share prices, consisting of the following steps:
- loading the data to be displayed from a server (2) to a terminal (5) by means of a data network (1), displaying the data on a display unit (6) of the terminal (5), and individually configuring the display of the data on the display unit (6) of the terminal (5), whereby the type of configuration of the display is selected by means of a cursor (11) that is activated in the display field (12) of the data itself.

Abstract
In a technique for the configurable charting of data such as price shares, the data to be displayed are loaded from a server (2) to a terminal (5) by means of the Internet (1). The displayed data can then be individually configured on the display unit (monitor) (6) of the terminal (5). The user can select the configuration of the display using a pointer control unit (9) by positioning a cursor (11) in the display field (12) of the data itself. In addition, it is possible to install highlighted buttons (13, 13′) in the display field (12) of the data, which when a cursor (11) is activated provide additional information linked to the position of the button (13, 13′). For example, the data can reflect share price histories and the buttons (13, 13′) are provided at those temporal positions of a share price chart where events that could be of importance to the development of the share prices took place. Finally, it is possible to set limits within the display of the data, so that the user is automatically warned as soon as the development of prices falls below or exceeds the limit. Furthermore, the user can send the current display field (12) together with line studies and settings to another user.

18. Method for charting data such as share prices, consisting of the following steps:
-
repeated loading of the data to be displayed from a server (2) to a terminal (5) via a data network (1), updated display of the data on a display unit (6) of the terminal (5) in the form of graphs in the course of the repeated loading and definition of at least one limit in the display field (12) of the data by means of activating a cursor (11) in the display field (12) itself, in which an action is automatically triggered as soon as the graph falls below or exceeds the limit.
