Can anyone with some experience in placing buy orders explain to me the process here? I know how to place one, but how do you track it? Placed a buy order for bulk minerals but how do you know if its being filled or not? Do the minerals (or item) show up in assets? Ive set the range for a 5 jump radius and a two week run time. Thought it would be shown under contracts but that was wrong. Tried to find my buy order in the sellers list under market and dont see it now. Does that mean its been filled? If so-wheres my minerals? Would like to know a bit more on this process and the logistics of monitoring sell orders as I beleive this could be a good way to earn some isk. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
One more thing before I turn this over to the professionals. If theres some hidden tips on how to make this feature of eve beneficial to one's wallet Im all ears. Im pretty new but think using buy orders coupled with courier trade could be interesting and hopefully-profitable. Thanks in advance for your help.

1) To find your orders, click on the Orders tab found on either the Market or Wallet screen. It will list any open buy and sell orders that you have. From here you can right click to Modify Order to change the price. Any time you modify the order the expiry is reset.
2) To find you goods, look in the Assets window if it was a personal order. If it was an order for your corp, then look on the Deliveries sub-tab under the Assests tab of the Corp window.
Tip) use the Orders list on the Wallet screen, you can then right click on the order to view market details. This will make it easy to have both a list of your orders and see the details of where that order stands in relation to the market without needing to switch tabs.
Note) if a market order expires, it will remain on the market until downtime. People can still buy or sell to an expired order. At downtime the order will be closed and the escrowed ISK or goods will be returned to you.
Rule) Highest buy order wins. Lowest sell order wins. If there were any orders for minerals at the same location where you placed your order, your order cannot be filled until the higher priced orders are complete.

In order to track the progress of an order open your wallet and there should be an orders tab in there (I think its called orders) on that tab it will show you how many orders (buy and sell) total you can have, how many active orders you have, how many remaining orders you have, and you can look at each active order and see the progress towards being filled.
As far as using this as a way to make profit with buy/sell orders you can allways go to popular mission running systems in your area and place cheap buy orders for the equipment that drops from rats in the area, and then move them somwhere else and sell them for a profit. Another thing to do is find out what items melt into what, alot of items will sell for more as their raw minerals than they would as a module, go out, find some of these things and buy them, melt them and flip the ore for a decent profit.
