Abstract
A system, method, and non-transitory computer-readable information recording medium displays information to a user. Market data related to a plurality of tradeable objects is received from an exchange at a trading device. The display of market data related to each tradeable object is separately controlled. If the user is not paying attention to the market data of a particular tradeable object, then the dissemination of the market data for that tradeable object may be temporarily stopped until the user starts paying attention to that tradeable object.
