First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for repositioning information related to a plurality of commodities on a graphical user interface, the method comprising:
- receiving market information relating to a first commodity, the market information comprising quantities, each quantity is associated with a price;
receiving market information relating to a second commodity, the market information comprising quantities, each quantity is associated with a price;
electronically displaying a first information display region associated with the first commodity and comprising a plurality of locations arranged such that each location corresponds to a price level along at least a portion of a first static price axis at a first time;
electronically displaying a second information display region associated with the second commodity and comprising a plurality of locations arranged such that each location corresponds to a price level along at least a portion of a second static price axis at the first time;
electronically displaying a first plurality of indicators, each indicator associated with a quantity related to the first commodity and each indicator being displayed in one of the plurality of locations of the first information display region corresponding to a price level that is associated with the quantity;
electronically displaying a second plurality of indicators, each indicator associated with a quantity related to the second commodity and each indicator being displayed in one of the plurality of locations of the second information display region corresponding to a price level that is associated with the quantity;
selecting the first commodity as a master;
receiving a command to reposition the first information display region of the master;
in response to the repositioning command to reposition the first information display region of the master, electronically repositioning the first and second static price axes such that, at a second time, each of the first plurality of indicators is moved to a new location in the first information display region that corresponds to the price level on the first static price axis associated with the indicator and each of the second plurality of indicators is moved to a new location in the second information display region that corresponds to the price level on the second static price axis associated with the indicator.

Abstract
A method for repositioning information related to a plurality of commodities on a graphical user interface is provided. The method includes receiving market information relating to a first commodity and a second commodity. The market information includes a number of items of interest, each of which may be associated with a price. A first information display region associated with the first commodity and including a number of locations arranged such that each location corresponds to a price level along at least a portion of a first static price axis is displayed at a first time. A second similar information display region associated with the second commodity is also displayed at that time. Indicators associated with items of interest related to the first commodity and the second commodity are displayed in the first information display region and the second information display region, respectively. The method includes receiving a command to reposition one of the information display regions. In response to the repositioning command, the indicators representing market information are moved to new locations in the first and second information display regions. More than two information display region may alternatively be utilized and positioned in this manner.
