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 method including:
- receiving by a computing device 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;
- processing by the computing device the definition for the annotation to determine that at least one of the price levels of the annotation price level is not within a plurality of displayed price levels of a price axis;
- displaying by the computing device a consolidated price interface, wherein the consolidated price interface represents a second plurality of price levels, wherein the second plurality of price levels is not within the plurality of displayed price levels of the price axis, wherein at least one of the price levels of the annotation price level is within the second plurality of price levels;
- and
- displaying by the computing device the annotation information along the consolidated price interface at a location corresponding to the second annotation price level.
