User interface for semi-fungible trading
First Claim
1. A method for electronically interfacing with an electronic exchange for spread trading, comprising:
- determining, via a computing device, a plurality of differential values between a plurality of products according to information from a data feed identifying a market having bids and offers for each of the plurality of products, where each of the plurality of differential values represents a difference between values of the plurality of products;
displaying, via an output device of the computing device, an axis for at least a portion of a differential value scale having the plurality of differential values between the plurality of products;
displaying at least one bid indicator along the differential value scale, the at least one bid indicator generated via the computing device according to the information received via the computing device; and
displaying at least one offer indicator along the differential value scale, the at least one offer indicator generated via the computing device according to the information received via the computing device.

Abstract
A user interface and method are disclosed for providing trading between a plurality of semi-fungible and non-fungible goods. A plurality of book axes are displayed in a single interface, each book axis representing a market for a particular good. Orders for goods are displayed as marks on the axes to display the relative value of the orders. A value axis is provided that relates the value of the goods from each market to each other. Thus, a single interface provides the means to relate the values of different semi-fungible goods. The value axis may be displayed in units of price, or a custom value designated by a user or pre-defined by the interface. Quantity information is represented in the interface through the display of a dimension of an order icon. Precise information about each order is displayed either in a panel view or a pop-up window.
