A multi-dimensional display of data related to market movement displays relative market movement, trend, and potential changes in trend for stocks futures, or options. The inventive system and method includes a unique graphical display of market information using static and dynamic elements of a multi-dimensional view. A Cylinder is provided as one potential geometrical shape or element for representing a single security (stock, futures or options contract). A Plate represents a reduced profile object (typically a thin plate) which contains sets or groups of Cylinders. A Map represents the surface on which Plates rest. A World represents a collection of all Maps. Measurements calculate data representative of market movement and changes in market movement and are displayed to the system user as variations in the geometry and color of the individual geometric elements. The system and method of the invention allows the user to visually observe changes in security and market performance by merely viewing changes in the shape and color of geometric elements rather than seeking to extract security and market information from conventional two dimensional graphic displays. The Clock Display summarizes movement across an entire Map. The Sky is the area above the Map.
