`accordance with the teachings described herein.
`It is frirther rinderstood that a hardware embodiment might
`take a variety of different foniis A hardware embodiment
`may be implemented as an integrated circriit with custom gate
`arrays or an application specific integrated circriit (“ASIC").
`A hardware eiiibodiiiieiit may also be impleiiienied with dis-
`crete hardware components and circuitry. In particular. it is
`understood that
`the logic structures and method steps
`described in the How diagrams may be implemented in dedi-
`cated hardware such as an ASIC. or as program instructions
`carried out by a microprocessor or other coinpritiiig El€VlCE.
`The claims should not be read as limited to the described
`order of elements rinless stated to that effect. In addition, use
`of the term “means" in any claim is intended to invoke 35

`“means" is not so intended Therefore, all ernbodiments that
`come within the scope and spirit ofthe following claims and
`equivalents thereto are claimed as the invention.
`What is claimed is:

`tion taken by a user with respect to the tradeable object,
`whereinthelongposition is associated witlia quantity of
`the tradeable object that has been boright by the user at a
`price. and wherein the short position is associated with a T
`quantity ofthe tradeable object that has been sold by the
`user at a PHCE‘,
`coinpriting by the computing device a plurality of wines
`based on the long or shon position, wherein each ofthe
`plurality ofvalues represents a profit orloss ifthe long or
`short position is closed at a price level among a range of
`price levels for the tradeable object;
`displaying via the computing device the plurality ofvalues
`along a value axis;
`displaying via the computing device a first indicator at a
`first location corresponding to a first value along the
`value axis wherein the first indicator represents a par-
`ticular price based on any of the following prices. cur-
`rent best bid, current best ask, and a lasttraded price. and
`wliereinthefirst value represents a profit orloss incurred
`by the user ifthe long or short position is closed at the
`panicular price. and
`moving the first indicator relative to the valrie axis to a
`second location corresponding to a second value along
`the valrie axis responsive to receipt of an update to the
`particular price. wherein the second value represents a
`profit or loss incrirred by the riser ifthe position is closed
`at the update to the panicular price
`2. The method ofclaim 1 , furthercomprisingan orderentry
`region in aliiyiment with the valrieaxis. theorder entry region

`order price based on the selected location.
`4. The method of claim 1. fiirtlier comprising displaying
`the range of price levels along the valrie axis, wherein each
`price level of the range of price levels corresponds to a dif-
`ferent value along the value axis.

`sponding to a value along the valrie axis.
`14. The computer readable medium of claim 13. further
`comprising‘ in response to a selection of a location of the
`order entry region by a single action ofa riser input device,
`setting an order price based on the selected location
`15 The coiiipriter readable medium of claim 12, frirther
`comprising displaying the range of price levels along the
`value axis, wherein each price level of the range of price
`levels conesponds to a different value along the value axis.

`identifying a new long or short position taken by the riser
`with respect to the tradeable Object. wherein the new
`long or short position is associated with a second quan-
`tity ofthe tradeable object that has been bought or sold
`by the user at a second price,‘
`computing a second plurality of values based on the new
`long or short position. wherein each of the second plu-
`rality ofvalues represents a profit or loss ifthe new long
`or short position is closed at a price level among the
`range ofprice levels. and
`displaying via a computing device the second plrirality of
`values along a valrie axis.
