| 1. A method for repositioning market information relating to a tradable object being traded in a market on a graphical user
interface, the method comprising:
displaying, by a computing device, a display region comprising a plurality of locations, wherein each location corresponds
to a price level along a price axis;
displaying, by a computing device, a dynamic bid indicator at a location in the display region, wherein the dynamic bid indicator
represents a quantity associated with at least one order to buy the tradable object at the highest bid price currently available
in the market;
displaying, by a computing device, a dynamic ask indicator at a location in the display region, wherein the dynamic ask indicator
represents a quantity associated with at least one order to sell the tradable object at the lowest ask price currently available
in the market;
identifying an item of interest by a computing device, wherein the item of interest is associated with a first price level;
detecting by the computing device a first change in the value of the item of interest from the first price level to a second
price level;
automatically repositioning the price axis and the plurality of locations in the display region by the computing device, based
on the first change, wherein the second price level associated with the item of interest is moved on the graphical user interface
to be displayed at a designated location in the display region;
detecting by the computing device a second change in the value of the item of interest from the second price level to a third
price level during the step of repositioning based on the first change; and
automatically repositioning the price axis and the plurality of locations in the display region by the computing device, based
on the second change, wherein the third price level associated with the item of interest is moved on the graphical user interface
to be displayed at the designated location in the display region.
