We have rules for a reason. If you tell a broker

"short with my remaining cash. Thanks."

the broker will short, in this case, $50 of the stock you specify. The point of the rule is to think about any order you place for the same reason that's a good idea when you're using real money.

Your way you can violate rules and see if Elroy catches it.
He adjusted a recent order but I don't think he should. If an order is invalid, it should not be modified by the non-rules to make it valid.

Do you play golf? Do you kick the ball away from a tree?

The player lied, squirmed, and cheated. It doesn't matter if Elroy allows it modified,

The player's lie: Why? I never said to use more than 50%. I said to use that which is remaining. .. "available".
