several days ago I went in to do price changes and several of my Buy Orders no longer were highlighted in green. I had to cancel them out and re-make the orders to get them to be green again.
What happened? If there's some kind of expiration on Buy Orders its news to me!
also, how the heck does someone place a buy order WITHOUT getting the green highlighting?
sorry, I'm kinda new to the Marketing game...

There is an expiration on buy orders, you select it when you make them. The max is 90 days and there isn't really a reason to go lower.

You can remotely create buy orders in other stations. So if you create an order in a station that is not in the range of the station you're currently in, it won't show as green.

Sure there is.
Say you want to buy good X for production. You need 1,000 of X this week to run your production, so you put up your order for 1,000 of X @ 600k p/u. However, you expect the price to drop to 450k p/u "sometime", and you want to pick up as much as you can at that price.... so you put an order up for 10,000 @ 450k.
Obviously you'll need to update the order of 1,000 more aggressively, and having the two orders be mostly the same could get confusing. However, if you stagger the order lengths so your lowball long-term orders are 90 days and your shorter-term "I need it, so I'll pay going rate" orders at, say, 7 or 30 days, you can then sort your orders by time remaining and it's much easier to keep track of which is which.

Except that every time you update your order the expiration gets reset, so why not just use 90 days?

Shorter expiration orders are put ahead of longer ones when the price is equal, that's another reason to use shorter times :)

AFAIK, older order takes precedence for price ties regardless of order duration. But I might be remembering it wrong. Have you tested this personally recently ?

For sell orders, shorter durations show up first. Did it yesterday.
I don't know if the same rule applies to buy orders, I've never tested it.

Buy and sell orders. I use shorter trade orders that I plan to babysit so I can set the price to the same as the lowest/highest and always end up on top. Hey every little 0.01 isk counts :P
