System and method for processing and displaying quantity information during user-configurable time periods
First Claim
1. A method for processing and displaying data for use in electronic trading, the method comprising:
- displaying an indicator associated with a total traded quantity in relation to a price level of a plurality of price levels at which a tradeable object is traded at an electronic exchange, wherein the total traded quantity is determined at the price level for a first time period defined between a predefined start time and a current time, wherein the total traded quantity is determined using market updates being received from the electronic exchange;
dynamically determining by a computing device a traded quantity for a second time period at the price level using market updates being received from the electronic exchange, wherein the second time period is associated with a moving time window corresponding to a predetermined number of time units of the first time period;
subdividing the indicator to graphically represent a portion of the total traded quantity that corresponds to the traded quantity during the second time period;
dynamically updating the indicator to reflect the total traded quantity during the first time period; and
dynamically updating the indicator to reflect the traded quantity during the second time period.

Abstract
A system and method for displaying quantity related information determined for a plurality of time periods are described. According to one method, a trader may define one or more time periods for which a trading application may determine traded quantities, traded buys, traded sells, or other quantity related information at a plurality of price levels during the defined time periods. The trading application may then graphically display the quantities for each time period in relation to the static axis of prices. The method further includes periodically updating the displayed traded quantity to reflect the quantity during the defined time period, where the quantity is updated based on subsequent market updates that are received from the exchange for the tradable object.
