Combined data display with historic data analysis

A method for dynamically displaying information on a graphical user interface, the method comprising:

• receiving a first time designation;
• selecting a time window including the first time designation;
• selecting at least one realized historic volatility value from before the first time designation;
• calculating at least one future volatility value for after the first time designation;
• displaying, on the graphical user interface, a dual volatility plot including the at least one realized historic volatility value and the at least one future volatility value in a continuous line;
• receiving a second time designation;
• and
• transitioning, on the graphical user interface in response to the second time designation, the dual volatility plot to include at least one additional realized historic volatility value or at least one additional future volatility value, wherein a processor is configured to provide a matrix for numerically representing the at least one realized historic volatility value and the at least one future volatility value and a matrix selector switches between the dual volatility plot and the matrix, such that only the at least one additional realized historic volatility value of the continuous line is replaced by a corresponding matrix representation on the graphical user interface.

An apparatus for dynamically displaying information on a graphical user interface, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory containing computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to perform:
• displaying a first portion of a continuous line associated with at least one realized historic volatility value;
• displaying a second portion of a continuous line associated with at least one future volatility value;
• receiving a user input including a time designation;
• and
• generating an updated dual volatility plot for the graphical user interface, based on the time designation, the dual volatility plot configured to pivot at an anchor date that is movable in response to the user input including the time designation, the anchor date being in between the first portion of the continuous line and the second portion of the continuous line, indicative of a division between the at least one realized historic volatility value and the at least one future volatility value, wherein the processor is configured to provide a matrix selector input option to switch between a matrix for numerically representing the at least one realized historic volatility value or the at least one future volatility value and the line, such that only the first portion of the continuous line is replaced by a corresponding matrix representation on the graphical user interface.
