Risk of 'Fat Finger' in the Market

When it comes to trading risks, it's not just market volatility or bad news. Another very important issue we can't overlook is 'Fat Finger Error' or mistakes caused by typing errors, especially in an era where most orders are placed through digital systems. For example, the other day someone wanted to buy $USO at 127.3 but accidentally typed an extra zero, resulting in an order at a much higher price than the market, or perhaps made a quantity error from 100 shares to 1,000 shares. These can cause immense damage. And with today's fast-paced market, such errors are difficult to correct and sometimes have widespread effects. So I want to remind everyone to double-check their trading orders carefully before confirming every time.
