As market conditions descend or ascend an axis of prices, the display of
market information is repositioned, at a pre-determined rate if desired,
around an item of interest. An item of interest may include the best bid
price, the best ask price, the inside market, a moving average, a last
traded price, a theoretical value, the result of an equation, or some
other item of interest to the trader. According to the present
embodiments, market information may be displayed in a region relative to
an axis of prices, and when an event occurs, a repositioning signal is
initialized causing the axis to be repositioned such that the item of
interest is positioned at a pre-determined location in the region. The
price axis can be repositioned at a fixed rate or at a dynamically
variable rate.
