The tooltip for the [sell\_buy\_only\_boolean] argument in the EVEONLINE.MARKET\_ORDERS() call states that:  
TRUE = sell orders  
FALSE = buy orders  
But this argument appears to reference the is\_buy\_order field in the Market Order data\_type, which flips the logic:  
TRUE = buy order  
FALSE = sell order

I spent a bit of time headscratching over why my highest buy order formula wasn’t making sense. Image below shows the tooltip text and the formula that is actually pulling buy order data
