Ok, I'll add some editing ability before too long, probably on a new page
that has a format similar to the View Open Orders page.

This is probably worth implementing, but I'm unsure how best to do it.
The FX approach seems unwieldy when there are too many claims to easily
fit on one page. Do you want a form like this with a few dozen lines
on which to enter orders?:
Buy/Sell | Quantity | Symbol | Limit Type | Limit Price | Expires | Stop Price
<select> | _______ | ______ | <select> | ___________ | _______ | _______
<select> | _______ | ______ | <select> | ___________ | _______ | _______
<select> | _______ | ______ | <select> | ___________ | _______ | _______

4 people excluding myself (since I'm currently planning to do all the
judging, I have doubts about whether I ought to trade). Everyone seems
to have subscribed to this list.
There's a List of Traders page which shows who's here (see the link
towards the bottom of the site map).
