1. A system comprising:
a computing device, wherein the computing device comprises a processor, wherein the computing device is configured to:
display a movable order entry interface, wherein the movable order entry interface includes a plurality of price objects, wherein each price object corresponds to a price level, wherein the movable order entry interface is positioned at a location on a chart, wherein the chart includes historical market data corresponding to a tradeable object, wherein the historical market data is mapped to a plurality of values along a value axis;
determine a first plurality of price levels based on a value along the value axis associated with the location of the movable order entry interface with respect to the chart, wherein each price object of the plurality of price objects corresponds to one of the first plurality of price levels;
display, in response to an input signal from a user input device, the movable order entry interface at a new location on the chart in relation to an input location of the user input device;
determine, in response to the input signal from the user input device, a second plurality of price levels based on a new value along the value axis associated with the new location of the movable order entry interface with respect to the chart, wherein each price object of the plurality of price objects of the movable order entry interface is updated to correspond to one of the second plurality of price levels;
receive a selection of a price object of the plurality of price objects by the user input device; and
initiate, in response to receiving the selection of the price object, placement of a trade order based on the price level corresponding to the selected price object.
