Method and system for displaying a cursor on a trading screen

A system comprising:

• a computing device including a processor, a memory, a user input device and a display device, wherein the memory stores instructions and the processor is configured to implement the instructions;
• wherein the processor implements the stored instructions to:
• in response to receiving a user input specifying a cursor position adjacent to a value axis displayed in a user interface, determine a relative position between the cursor position associated with the user input device and a first location in the user interface defined along the value axis;
• initiate a trade order with a price corresponding to the first location defined along the value axis;
• in response to receiving a market update from an electronic exchange in communication with the computing device, update the value axis to reflect the received market update, wherein the price is dynamically repositioned from the first location to a second location along the value axis;
• reposition within the user interface the cursor position adjacent to the value axis displayed in the user interface to reflect a movement of the price to the second location, wherein the relative position between the cursor position associated with the user input device and the second location defined along the value axis is maintained;
• and
• receive a second user input to submit the trade order with the price to the electronic exchange.
