Dynamic Price Axis Repositioning for Trading Screens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional trading screens fail to effectively display market information in a customizable and efficient manner, hindering traders' ability to quickly assimilate large amounts of data and make timely trading decisions.
Innovation Solution
The system repositions a price axis on a trading interface to center items of interest, such as the best bid, ask, or moving averages, in response to changes or predefined limits, allowing for smooth and continuous movement of market information to enhance visualization and analysis.

1Productivity
If market information is displayed in a conventional fixed format, then the display structure is simple, but the trader's ability to quickly assimilate large amounts of data is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The price axis is made dynamically repositionable along the vertical axis in response to market events (such as price changes or new orders). This allows the display to adapt automatically to changing market conditions, keeping relevant information centered without requiring complex manual customization by the trader.
Solution Approach 2:
The trading interface automatically repositions itself based on market events without trader intervention. The system monitors market data and autonomously adjusts the price axis position to maintain optimal display configuration, eliminating the need for traders to manually reconfigure complex display settings.
2Ease of operation
If the price axis is repositioned to center items of interest, then the visual display is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors market conditions and uses this feedback to automatically reposition the price axis. When market events occur (such as price changes or new orders), the system detects these changes and adjusts the display accordingly, creating a closed-loop system that maintains optimal visualization without increasing operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The market information display and the price axis are merged into an integrated system where the price axis serves dual purposes: as a structural element and as a dynamic positioning mechanism. This consolidation allows the same component to provide both structural support and adaptive repositioning functionality.
3Stability of the object's composition
If market information is displayed without repositioning, then the display structure is stable, but the item of interest may move out of the optimal viewing area
Solution Approach 1:
The price axis transitions from a static to a dynamic element that can reposition vertically in response to market events. This dynamic capability allows the system to maintain structural stability while adapting the position of the item of interest to keep it centered in the optimal viewing area.

AI summary
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.
