Abstract
A system and method for generating and displaying annotations in relation to one or more prices corresponding to trader-related or market related events are described. In one embodiment, a trader may enter an annotation to be displayed in relation to one or more price levels. Alternatively, a trader may configure a dynamic annotation to be dynamically displayed in relation to some price level(s) upon detecting a predetermined event related to one or more tradeable objects. Also, a trader may configure one or more alarms to be displayed or played in combination with the annotations.

A system including:
- a computing device,
- wherein the computing device is adapted to display a price axis including a plurality of price levels,
- wherein the computing device is adapted to receive a definition for an annotation, wherein the definition for the annotation includes an annotation price level and annotation information, wherein the definition for the annotation is specified by a user, wherein the annotation price level includes at least one price level,
- wherein the computing device is adapted to process the definition for the annotation to determine that at least one of the price levels of the annotation price level is within the plurality of price levels of the price axis, and
- wherein the computing device is adapted to display the annotation information along the price axis at the at least one of the price levels of the annotation price level determined to be within the plurality of price levels of the price axis.
