Is there a way to tell how many buy orders have been filled for a certain item in a certain station?

My example: I have a buy order open for a Naga in Jita, I don't know how many buy orders are filled each day. Is there a way to reasonably know how long a buy order will take to fill based on historial data?

the market history tab, table view should give you a fairy accurate idea. Look at the daily low and high and then at the average.

Contrived example:

low 10m
high 20m
average 15m
volume 10

so in this case 5 went to buy orders and 5 went to sell orders giving an average of 15mill

low 10m
high 20m
average 12mill
volume 10

here more items went to buy orders which pulled the average down. So roughly 8 went to buy orders and 2 were sold.

So look at the figures and if the average is below the mid point between low and high, more items are going to buy orders than sell orders being sold.

You can get additional info from the number of trades and the volume traded, e.g. it might tell you that ppl are buying job lots of an item or mostly buying singles.

HTH

Edit: these are regional figures but I was talking from the viewpoint of a Jita trader where alot of the region trade is done in that one station.
