As a full time day-trader with 250 orders to manage i find the trade warnings quite annoying.
Or in other words: they suck ass.

I'm speaking of the warnings you get when you modify your orders. The current system takes the modified order value and compares it to the market regional average. For example:
Buy order, volume 50, 1.000.000 ISK. Regional average: 2.500.000 ISK.
I want to change that order to 1.000.000,02 ISK.
-> Trade warning: ARE YOU REALLY SURE YOU WANT TO RAISE THE ORDER?!

This is in 99 out of 100 times unnecessary because i am totally aware of the regional average. When editing 250 orders, i get this warning approx. 100 times. As if the trading job isn't boring enough, it gets really annoying with this.

Solution #1:
Totally get rid of trade warnings, they suck. Be patient with your orders though.

Solution #2:
When an order is modified, the system should compare the delta of the order with the order itself. For example:
Buy order, volume 50, 1.000.000 ISK
I want to change the order to 100.000.002 ISK (common mistake: forgetting or missing the ".").
The system recognizes the delta of 100m ISK (which is xxxxx% of the original order) and gives a warning. Problem solved, day saved.

Also this is a matter of 5 minutes to implement (i hope).

+1, just remember to include those optional checkboxes for messages repeating.
