1. An apparatus for use in an electronic trading environment, the apparatus comprising:
- an electronic display;
a market data receiver configured to receive streaming market updates from an electronic exchange; and
an electronic processor coupled with the electronic display and the electronic market data receiver, where the processor is configured to cause the electronic display to display the market updates relative to a price chart defined by a price axis being substantially orthogonal to a time axis, the time axis being broken into a recent data region and an older data region, where a linear time scale for the recent data region and a linear time scale for the older data region form a continuous non-linear time scale, and where in response to receiving market updates via the market data receiver, at least a portion of electronic market data displayed in the recent data region is moved from the recent data region to the older data region.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for displaying a data series. In one embodiment, a graphical interface is provided including at least one axis that is divided into a plurality of axis regions. Preferably, each axis region uses a different linear scale, and the plurality of axis regions forms a continuous non-linear scale. The graphical interface also displays the data series in relation to the plurality of axis regions, and the data series is plotted in relation to each axis region based on a scale resolution corresponding to each respective axis region.
