There's no provision for you to change an order to what you think he meant. But if you refuse a mistaken order, the player is "allowed to put in a new order the next day."He could then short AAPL at a higher price if it closes up, which doesn't seem fair. I agree that it wouldn't be fair to allow CusterInvestor to get out of taking the hit for his bad call. Plus, his order wasn't illegal, so that provision doesn't apply. It seems more fair to leave his order in as it was intended, because the outcome is better for the competition as a whole. The lack of a specific provision in the rules shouldn't force Elroy to do something that is unfair to everyone.
