1. A computer-implemented method for providing an interactive graphical representation of a market, the method comprising:
- generating, by at least one processor, a multidimensional graph on a display device, the graph having at least one selectable portion;
generating, by the at least one processor, a curve corresponding to a range of values of a financial instrument on the display device;
detecting, by the at least one processor, an input on a selectable portion of the graph; and
in response to the input, generating, by the at least one processor, a trading dialog box on the display device and pre-filling at least one field in the trading dialog box with information corresponding to the selectable portion of the graph.

Abstract
On a display terminal of an electronic trading system, a graph is displayed having a first axis and a second axis, wherein the graph includes a curve corresponding to a range of values of a financial instrument. A user is allowed to select a portion of the graph. In response to the user selection of the portion of the graph, a trading dialog box is displayed on the display of the workstation, the dialog box being automatically populated with values for trading, the values based on the values of the selected portion of the graph.

12. A computer-implemented method for providing an interactive graphical representation of a market, the method comprising:
-
generating, by at least one processor, a graph having a first axis and a second axis on a display of a workstation, wherein the graph includes at least one selectable portion; generating, by the at least one processor, a plurality of first symbols, wherein each first symbol corresponds to a bid for a particular financial instrument; generating, by the at least one processor, a plurality of second symbols, wherein each second symbol corresponds to an offer for a particular financial instrument; detecting, by the at least one processor, an input on a selectable portion of the graph; and in response to the input, generating, by the at least one processor, a trading dialog box on the display of the workstation. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving from an electronic trading system, by at least one processor, market data related to a financial instrument; generating, by at least one processor, a graph on a display of a workstation, the graph including a first axis, a second axis, and a representation of values of the financial instrument received as part of the market data; detecting, by at least one processor, an input on a portion of the graph; and based at least in part on detecting the input on the portion of the graph, generating, by at least one processor, a trading dialog box on the display of the workstation, and at least partially populating, by at least one processor, the trading dialog box with financial instrument information corresponding to the portion of the graph. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
