Method and interface for consolidating price levels on a trading screen

A method including:

• displaying by a computing device a trading screen in a graphical user interface, wherein the trading screen is able to display in a viewable area of the trading screen a first range of price levels for a tradeable object along a price axis based on a tick size for the tradeable object, wherein the first range of price levels includes a first number of price levels;
• generating by the computing device a first consolidated price level, wherein the first consolidated price level represents a second range of price levels for a tradeable object, wherein the second range of price levels represented by the first consolidated price level includes a first subset of the first range of price levels and a price level not in the first range of price levels, wherein the second range of price levels includes a second number of price levels;
• generating by the computing device a first consolidated quantity indicator, wherein the first consolidated quantity indicator is based on a plurality of quantities at the price levels in the second range of price levels;
• generating by the computing device a plurality of unconsolidated quantity indicators, wherein the each of the plurality of unconsolidated quantity indicators is based on a corresponding one of a plurality of quantities at the price levels in a third range of price levels for the tradeable object, wherein the third range or price levels is a second subset of the first range of price levels, wherein the third range of price levels includes a third number of price levels;
• displaying by the computing device in the viewable area of the trading screen the first consolidated quantity indicator in association with the first consolidated price level along the price axis for the tradeable object, wherein the first consolidated price level is displayed along the price axis in place of the second range of price levels;
• displaying by the computing device in the viewable area of the trading screen the each of the plurality of unconsolidated quantity indicators in association with the corresponding price level of the third range of price levels along the price axis for the tradeable object;
• displaying by the computing device an adjustable feature in the trading screen;
• receiving by the computing device a command through the adjustable feature of the trading screen;
• and
• dynamically altering by the computing device, in response to receiving the command through the adjustable feature of the trading screen, at least one of the second number of price levels in the second range of price levels and the third number of price levels in the third range of price levels based on the command.
