A system and method for trading and displaying market information along a
static axis are described to ensure fast and accurate execution of
trades. The static axis, whether is a straight axis or a curved one, can
be oriented in any direction. Regardless of how the axis is oriented, a
first region may display price levels that are arranged along the static
axis. A second region, which overlaps the first region, may display one
or more indicators for highlighting one of the price levels associated
with the lowest offer and one of the price levels associated with the
highest bid. Moreover, a third region, which overlaps the first region,
may be included for initiating placement of an order to buy or an order
to sell the tradeable object through an action of a user input device.
Other overlapping regions may also be displayed so that additional market
information may be viewed by a trader.
