Abstract

A method for automatically positioning information related to a commodity on a graphical user interface. Market information is displayed on the graphical user interface. The market information may be presented as a number of indicators, corresponding to particular items of interest, that are associated with a static scale. The scale may, for example, represent price. Upon detecting a predetermined condition, the location of the market information is automatically repositioned.

Claims

1. (canceled)

2. A method including:

receiving, by a computing device, market information for a tradeable object from an electronic exchange, wherein the market information identifies an inside market for the tradeable object;

displaying, by the computing device, a trading interface configured to receive input from a user;

dynamically displaying, by the trading interface of the computing device, the inside market relative to a price scale according to the market information, wherein the display of the inside market relative to the price scale changes as the market information changes; and

automatically re-positioning, by the trading interface of the computing device, the inside market in response to a predetermined condition, wherein the automatically re-positioning includes changing the scale of prices and moving the inside market with respect to the trading interface to a predetermined location, where the predetermined condition includes expiration of a predetermined time.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the price scale includes a static price scale.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the inside market includes a highest bid price for the tradeable object.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the inside market includes a lowest ask price for the tradeable object.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the market information further identifies market depth for the tradeable object.

7. The method of claim 6, further including dynamically displaying, by the trading interface of the computing device, the market depth relative to the price scale according to the market information.

8. The method of claim 2, wherein the inside market moves up and down relative to the price scale according to changes in market information.

9. The method of claim 2, wherein the predetermined condition includes a timer reaching a predetermined time.

10. The method of claim 2, wherein the predetermined condition includes determining that the inside market is outside a viewable area of the trading interface.

11. The method of claim 2, wherein the predetermined condition includes determining that the inside market is more than a predetermined distance from a location on the trading interface.

12. A method including:

receiving, by a computing device, market information for a tradeable object from an electronic exchange, wherein the market information identifies a last traded price for the tradeable object;

displaying, by the computing device, a trading interface configured to receive input from a user;

dynamically displaying, by the trading interface of the computing device, the last traded price relative to a price scale according to the market information, wherein the display of the last traded price relative to the price scale changes as the market information changes; and

automatically re-positioning, by the trading interface of the computing device, the last traded price in response to a predetermined condition, wherein the automatically re-positioning includes changing the scale of prices and moving the inside market with respect to the trading interface to a predetermined location, where the predetermined condition includes expiration of a predetermined time.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the price scale includes a static price scale.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the market information further identifies an inside market and market depth for the tradeable object.

15. The method of claim 14, further including dynamically displaying, by the trading interface of the computing device, the inside market and the market depth relative to the price scale according to the market information.

16. The method of claim 12, wherein the inside market moves up and down relative to the price scale according to changes in market information.

17. The method of claim 12, wherein the predetermined condition includes a timer reaching a predetermined time.

18. The method of claim 12, wherein the predetermined condition includes determining that the last traded price is outside a viewable area of the trading interface.

19. The method of claim 12, wherein the predetermined condition includes determining that the last traded price is more than a predetermined distance from a location on the trading interface.
