You know easiest way to take care of this problem I've witnessed in another game somewhere along my mmo playing I cant exactly remember which game it was but after every increase in the tenths place of what ever you were selling or buying the actual COLOR of the numbers would change. As in 1mil to 9mil would be green 10mil to 99mil would be yellow, etc etc.
If the color of your input would change color as you typed it in it would be easy at least too overcome a mistake. Now if they didnt add anything the easist way to never have this happen again is fairly simple.
Delete the entire denomination every single time you modify an order, your way more likely to screw up the decimal if you are backspacing over a current price then if you input the whole thing from scratch.

I think it would be pretty safe to say, as a trader character who's entire gameplay is dicated by brokers fee's, order modifications and the like, there should be something established that could at least shield us from these costly mistakes as it is inevitable from a natural progression of a trader character is to take on more orders, more quantities and higher priced items.
1 additional 0 or missing a . here and then should not have the ability too wipe a characters entire wallet out under the right conditions, maybe you feel that way I just dont see how an honest mistake should beable too be as detrimental as it "could" be.
Myself personaly i've goofed up twice, each time I was in the process of modifying several orders and doing .01 isk undercutting, getting into a groove and then without catching myself forgetting to type that damned . key and pressing enter.
Then zoom off goes 100 some odd million to some random person that was in the right position at the time, 1 fellow trader gave a portion back, the other just remained silent.
Iam sure its happened way more then once and will continue too happen. The coding too add something to insure this could be prevented is just plain logical.
