Abstract

A method for automatically positioning information related to a commodity on a graphical user interface. Market information is displayed on the graphical user interface. The market information may be presented as a number of indicators, corresponding to particular items of interest, that are associated with a static scale. The scale may, for example, represent price. Upon detecting a predetermined condition, the location of the market information is automatically repositioned.

First claim

1 . (canceled)

2 . A method including:
receiving, by a computing device, market information for a tradeable object from an electronic exchange, wherein the market information identifies an inside market for the tradeable object; displaying, by the computing device, a trading interface configured to receive input from a user; dynamically displaying, by the trading interface of the computing device, the inside market relative to a price scale according to the market information, wherein the display of the inside market relative to the price scale changes as the market information changes; and automatically re-positioning, by the trading interface of the computing device, the inside market in response to a predetermined condition, wherein the automatically re-positioning includes changing the scale of prices and moving the inside market with respect to the trading interface to a predetermined location, where the predetermined condition includes expiration of a predetermined time.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the price scale includes a static price scale.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the inside market includes a highest bid price for the tradeable object.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the inside market includes a lowest ask price for the tradeable object.

6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the market information further identifies market depth for the tradeable object.

7 . The method of claim 6 , further including dynamically displaying, by the trading interface of the computing device, the market depth relative to the price scale according to the market information.

8 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the inside market moves up and down relative to the price scale according to changes in market information.

9 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the predetermined condition includes a timer reaching a predetermined time.

10 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the predetermined condition includes determining that the inside market is outside a viewable area of the trading interface.

11 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the predetermined condition includes determining that the inside market is more than a predetermined distance from a location on the trading interface.

12 . A method including:
receiving, by a computing device, market information for a tradeable object from an electronic exchange, wherein the market information identifies a last traded price for the tradeable object; displaying, by the computing device, a trading interface configured to receive input from a user; dynamically displaying, by the trading interface of the computing device, the last traded price relative to a price scale according to the market information, wherein the display of the last traded price relative to the price scale changes as the market information changes; and automatically re-positioning, by the trading interface of the computing device, the last traded price in response to a predetermined condition, wherein the automatically re-positioning includes changing the scale of prices and moving the inside market with respect to the trading interface to a predetermined location, where the predetermined condition includes expiration of a predetermined time.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the price scale includes a static price scale.

14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the market information further identifies an inside market and market depth for the tradeable object.

15 . The method of claim 14 , further including dynamically displaying, by the trading interface of the computing device, the inside market and the market depth relative to the price scale according to the market information.

16 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the inside market moves up and down relative to the price scale according to changes in market information.

17 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the predetermined condition includes a timer reaching a predetermined time.

18 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the predetermined condition includes determining that the last traded price is outside a viewable area of the trading interface.

19 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the predetermined condition includes determining that the last traded price is more than a predetermined distance from a location on the trading interface.
