1. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by a processor, wherein the instructions are executable to:
generate, by a trading device, a graphical interface having a chart region and mark grid region;
display, by a trading device, a first value axis associated with the chart region aligned adjacent with the market grid region, wherein the chart region has a first plurality of locations along a first value axis arranged perpendicular to a time axis, wherein the first value axis reflects a historical range;
display, by the trading device, a second value axis that reflects a market range, and is arranged perpendicular to the time axis and aligned parallel to the first value axis, wherein the market grid region has a second plurality of locations along the second value axis, and wherein the market range is a subset of the historical range;
display, by the trading device, a slider sized to reflect the market range displayed in the market grid region overlaid with the first value axis, wherein the slider is overlaid such that the second plurality of locations is aligned with a subset of the first plurality of locations;
receive, by the trading device, a selection of the slider corresponding to a user input to resize the slider to reflect a second market range, wherein the second market range is a change to the second plurality of locations displayed as part of the second value axis; and
update, by the trading device, the displayed second value axis to reflect the change in the second plurality of locations associated with the resized slider.
