I just bought a bunch or modules for 4mil a piece instead of 400k because I made a mistake when modifying my buy order.
Why does a buy order not buy what is available on sell orders for the price they are up if possible, instead of still
taking the money you put in? This silly mistake cost me 100mil, which sucks as a starting trader. :-/

You put up an order stating you want to buy item X, and you are willing to pay [amount] ISK for it. If people have sell orders up for below your price, you'll automatically buy them out at your stated price. Think of it as a tax on the careless

Sorry about your loss. When I used to trade T2 sentries I ended up on both sides of that mistake!
I'm not sure if warning windows ever pop up when an order is modified to a value far outside the price range of the item. If not, it would be worth looking into implementing such a feature...or better yet a warning when you modify the price point of a buy order to a value 50% above or below the original price point.

There actually is something like that. If you place a buy order which is way below or way above the regional average you
get a confirmation message. I get it on some of my order but for some odd reason I didn't get it on that one. It sucks.

For what it's worth, it could have been alot worse. Chalk it up to "Experience" and carry on.

Always tab off the price field to double-check the value.
