System and method for trading multiple tradeable objects using a single trading interface
First Claim
1. A method for displaying market information of a tradeable object comprising:
- displaying a first screen region of a graphical user interface, the first screen region comprising a first plurality of locations, each location corresponding to a value along a first value axis, wherein the first screen region is associated with a portion of the first value axis;
dynamically displaying an indicator relating to an inside market of a 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;
displaying a second screen region of the graphical user interface, the second screen region comprising a second plurality of locations, each location corresponding to a value along a second value axis, wherein the second screen region is associated with a portion of the second value axis, and wherein the second screen region is displayed in relation to the first screen region;
dynamically displaying an indicator relating to an inside market of a 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;
receiving a repositioning command based on an algorithm; and
in response to the repositioning command, repositioning the first value axis such that the indicator relating to the inside market of the first tradeable object is displayed at a new location based on the algorithm in the first screen region and repositioning the second value axis such that the indicator relating to the inside market of the second tradeable object is displayed at a new location based on the algorithm in the second screen region.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for displaying information related to a plurality of tradeable objects using a single graphical interface. One example graphical interface includes at least two screen regions displayed in relation to each other, with each region including a plurality of locations. Each location in the first screen region corresponds to a value along a first value axis, and each location in the second screen region corresponds to a value along a second value axis. The graphical interface also includes a first indicator in the first region and a second indicator in the second region. In response to a repositioning command based on an algorithm, the graphical interface includes a repositioned first value axis and the second value axis, such that the indicators are displayed in new locations determined based on the algorithm.

1. A method for displaying market information of a tradeable object comprising:
-
displaying a first screen region of a graphical user interface, the first screen region comprising a first plurality of locations, each location corresponding to a value along a first value axis, wherein the first screen region is associated with a portion of the first value axis;
dynamically displaying an indicator relating to an inside market of a 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;
displaying a second screen region of the graphical user interface, the second screen region comprising a second plurality of locations, each location corresponding to a value along a second value axis, wherein the second screen region is associated with a portion of the second value axis, and wherein the second screen region is displayed in relation to the first screen region;
dynamically displaying an indicator relating to an inside market of a 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;
receiving a repositioning command based on an algorithm; and
in response to the repositioning command, repositioning the first value axis such that the indicator relating to the inside market of the first tradeable object is displayed at a new location based on the algorithm in the first screen region and repositioning the second value axis such that the indicator relating to the inside market of the second tradeable object is displayed at a new location based on the algorithm in the second screen region. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer readable medium containing program instructions for causing a microprocessor to execute a method for displaying market information of a tradeable object, comprising:
-
displaying a first screen region of a graphical user interface, the first screen region comprising a first plurality of locations, each location corresponding to a value along a first value axis, wherein the first screen region is associated with a portion of the first value axis;
dynamically displaying an indicator relating to an inside market of a 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;
displaying a second screen region of the graphical user interface, the second screen region comprising a second plurality of locations, each location corresponding to a value along a second value axis, wherein the second screen region is associated with a portion of the second value axis, and wherein the second screen region is displayed in relation to the first screen region;
dynamically displaying an indicator relating to an inside market of a 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;
receiving a repositioning command based on an algorithm; and
in response to the repositioning command, repositioning the first value axis such that the indicator relating to the inside market of the first tradeable object is displayed at a new location based on the algorithm in the first screen region and repositioning the second value axis such that the indicator relating to the inside market of the second tradeable object is displayed at a new location based on the algorithm in the second screen region.

17. A display apparatus, comprising:
-
a graphical user interface on a computer comprising two or more screen regions displayed in relation to each other;
a first screen region comprising a first plurality of locations, wherein each location of the first plurality of locations corresponds to a value along a first value axis, wherein the first screen region is associated with a portion of the first value axis, a first indicator displayed in one of the first plurality of locations in the first screen region in relation to the portion of the first value axis, the first indicator associated with an inside market of a first tradeable object;
a second screen region comprising a second plurality of locations, and wherein each location of the second plurality of locations corresponds to a value on a second value axis, and wherein the second screen region is associated with a portion of the second value axis;
