Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for the controlled cursor's behavior. According to one example method, any desired data may be linked to a cursor and a desired cursor behavior could be defined to convey the linked data using the cursor. When a change in the linked data is detected, the example method includes using the desired cursor behavior to convey the changed data independent of a location where the cursor is placed on a screen.

(canceled)
A computer readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by a processor, wherein the instructions are executable to:
- monitor linked data to determine if the linked data has changed, wherein the linked data is linked from a trading application as specified by configuration data from a user;
- generate a visual representation of the linked data, wherein the visual representation of the linked data is generated independent of a location of a cursor on a screen;
- display the visual representation of the linked data in relation to the cursor;
- update the visual representation of the linked data when the linked data changes;
- receive a command moving the cursor from a first location to a second location, wherein the first location is in a first window associated with a first application, wherein the second location is in a second window associated with a second application, wherein the first application is different from the second application, wherein the first and second applications are different from the trading application, wherein the visual representation of the linked data is displayed without modification of the first application or the second application, wherein the visual representation of the linked data is continuously displayed in relation to the cursor as the cursor is moved from the first location in the first window of the first application to the second location in the second window of the second application based on the command;
- and
- temporarily stop the display of the visual representation of the linked data in relation to the cursor after a predefined time period until a change in the linked data is detected.
