## Abstract

A system and method are provided for displaying a data series. In one embodiment, a graphical interface is provided including at least one axis that is divided into a plurality of axis regions. Preferably, each axis region uses a different linear scale, and the plurality of axis regions forms a continuous non-linear scale. The graphical interface also displays the data series in relation to the plurality of axis regions, and the data series is plotted in relation to each axis region based on a scale resolution corresponding to each respective axis region.

## Claims

### Claim 1

(canceled)

### Claim 2

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon which when executed by a processor cause the processor to carry out acts comprising:
receiving market data from an electronic exchange, the market data including a data series for a tradeable object being traded at the electronic exchange, where the data series is dynamically updated according to market updates from the electronic exchange;
dynamically displaying, via an electronic display, the market data relative to a time axis and a chart axis of a price chart, the time axis having a recent data region and an older data region, where a linear time scale for the recent data region and a linear time scale for the older data region form a continuous non-linear time scale; and
in response to receiving a new market update in the market data,
displaying, via the electronic display, the new market update in the recent data region having a first linear scale, and
automatically shifting, via the electronic display, an oldest market update previously displayed in the recent data region to the older data region.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 where the linear time scale for the recent data region is different than the linear time scale for the older data region.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 where the price chart comprises at least one of a candlestick chart, a bar chart and a line chart.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 where the time axis is divided into sub-intervals.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 where time axis comprises a plurality of sub-intervals.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 where the plurality of sub-intervals are evenly spaced over the time axis.

### Claim 8 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 where the time axis comprises a plurality of older data regions.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 where a number of the plurality of older data regions is user configurable.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 where a time scale for each older data region of the plurality of older data regions is user configurable.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 where the acts further comprise:
receiving, via an input, a user command to adjust a size of at least one region of the plurality of older data regions; and
in response to receiving the user command adjusting the size of the at least one older data region of the plurality of older data regions.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 where the acts further comprise displaying via the electronic display a movable icon.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12 where the user command is received via the movable icon.

### Claim 14 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 where the linear scale for the older data region comprises any one of a year-based timeframe, a quarter-based timeframe, a month-based timeframe, a week-based timeframe, a day-based timeframe, an hour based timeframe and a minute based timeframe.
