I wanted to not post this but I can't see any way that its going to upset my trading, tbh it will hurt the people I hate most...
I hate programs like mentat that allow players to copy paste increments of what they like, causing me and other players to have to type numbers every time we need to update our orders. It drives me mental because of fat fingers, so I did use mentat then I saw its actually slower to update orders by alt tabbing between mentat and eve to copy paste, not to mention how long it takes to actually import market data so that it can do its magic. I began to absolutely hate that program, it has ruined trading for me because every ****, tom and harry with no life is using it now...
I found the solution quite by accident.
Now if people already know this, that's fine don't post but here's how you deal with that tard who just outbid or under cut you by 123456.78 isk.... You double click your competitors order in the market screen, you then have the option to click advanced and setup a new a new buy order, or you can copy the price, then close the window, now right click your order and modify, now paste in the price you copied, then scroll mouse up or down depending on if it is buy or sell and now click ok and done.
This done in a system outside jita is very fast and removed fat finger errors, also makes stacking of orders seem much more like an attractive option to finding that price sweet spot that the 0.01iskiong tards dare not go over...
It just makes things a lot less stressing, its actually a faster method of updating orders when you might have to deal with that annoying person who insists on making you type in numbers, try it :) |

API Import > Click order that has price that is red
My Orders
Locate Item
Modify Order
CTRL + V
Done.
Your method..
My Orders (double click on the item order to bring it up in market)
Manually check if your price is best or not (could involve scrolling if its been awhile since you've updated it).
Double click on the 'best' price
Click on Advanced
Click in the price field
CTRL + A & CTRL + C
Cancel
Either locate your order (blue if filter selected)
Right click > Edit Order
CTRL + V
Mouse wheel up or down depending on sell/buy order
Click OK.
I do believe EVE Mentat would be MUCH quicker |

I would assume a lot play in windowed mode where alt tabbing is not required which is probably where the majority of time wastage occurs |

If that was in the reference to my post then you did not read the OP's statement.

OP suggests to double click the competitors order and then goto advanced and it will give you their sell/buy price to be able to copy.
This is a useless thread. |

I feel its about the same speed as using mentat but the difference is I can do my method all day and be happy, I can only do the mentat way for a few hours before I get sick of clicking through its laggy interface to import cache and api which btw isn't exactly fast.
I've used all ways, and I like this way I'm doing now because its all on the same screen and I hate having to type in big numbers. I prefer just using the CTRL + C and CTRL + V shortcuts and the mouse.
Also I don't believe everyone fully knows all the little features about the EVE UI, the simple fact that you can copy your competitors price, then paste it into your new sell order window avoiding errors is useful and don't tell me to use mentat... |

The mouse wheel is perfect for when you are 0.01 isking. But with people that reduce orders by full ISK or even more it does not work very good  |

Yeah that's exactly why I started using mentat but then I grew to hate mentat because the only reason these people are updating by such amounts each time is because they don't have to type the numbers in for every single order. They just set mentat up to update orders by what ever they want, then it copies the value for them directly into the clipboard at a single mouse click...
Any how, the point of this thread was to offer another way but as always people like to attack others on this forum for the sake of it.

A short video demonstrating what I mean, the UI a little laggy due to fraps running and my machine being a piece of crap but with positioning of the buy and sell windows roughly being in the same place, this whole process can greatly improve work flow and sanity |

Stop being bad at typing, and get a keyboard with a backspace where the keypad is.

The guy keeps trying to win against some imaginary 0.1 isk mentat monster.
I wonder if there is a similar condition in medicine...oh, here it is - schizophrenia.

Typing is not faster than using hoykeys/shortcuts  and not everyone enjoys getting eye strain when typing out 9 digit numbers with 2 leading zeros after a decimal, but you can carry on as you please I don't care. |

Your method, as described, involves a minimum of 6 steps and key commands which involves moving at least one hand. My method involves what, 3? All without moving either hand from mouse or keypad. But yea, keep keep doin what you're doin, slower competition for me. |
