Just lost 500m due to not knowing how Buy Orders work. Going to be hard to get to bed for my morning class now. Ugh

Fascinating. I can help you retrieve that 500m isk for a fee of 500m isk.

Wrong.

To do it here you really should provide something more than "I'm a chowderhead".
(Not for losing the isk but for shorting sleep/school I might add.)

I wanted to comment on that too.

I could sympathize with someone loosing a bit of isk to learning the ropes of the market etc.

But I can't sympathize with a loser who thinks not going to school is an ok thing to do.

Think positively; If you just lost 500m ISK, that means you made someone else very happy as he just gained 500 million ISK.

Lol

I also lost a few million in excess market fees yesterday due to the stupid period/comma thing that came with the patch... tried to sell some T2 modules at 90mil+ a piece because, well... the numbers were just right, only the comma was missing.

Hey man, we all make mistakes at one point or another. I lost 400m not too long ago while adjusting buy order prices and being too hasty with the number pad. Added an extra digit on accident and blasted away at the enter key. You learn through these experiences, and hopefully 500m wasnt too big of a loss for you.

It was a third of my assests, and basically erased all of the isk I had made since I started trading, so while I can recover it's still a *****. Ugh
