Reward 500 Tiger-coinsAn investor made an unexpected profit due to a trading error.
An XTrader placed orders during a sharp V-shaped movement in the stock index, carefully planning position allocation and leaving part of the position hedged before going to sleep.
Upon waking up in the morning, she found that the hedged position had almost completely failed, but the overall portfolio had unexpectedly risen by 13-14%.
The gains and losses from the long and hedged positions should have led to only a few percentage points of gain. The truth is that she had mistakenly entered an extra zero in the last long position order.
In addition to mistakenly entering the wrong number, buy or sell may be mistaken when trading options.
In recent trades, I placed a “buy“ put order when I brushed my teeth. But later I found out I placed a sell order. Then I realized that I must stay focused during trading.
Stories like this are common both around me and in the Tiger community.
Previously, when a tiger intended to follow a short call strategy for $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ but ended up doing the opposite by buying calls. However, due to Nvidia's significant price increase, the tiger ended up making a substantial profit.
Have you ever experienced such accidental gains or losses due to a mix-up like this?
What mistakes have you made when placing orders?

在最近的交易中，我在刷牙時下了一個“買入”看跌單。但後來我發現我下了一個賣出訂單。然後我意識到我必須在交易中保持專注。
像這樣的故事在我身邊和老虎社區都很常見。
此前，當老虎打算遵循空頭看漲期權策略時$英偉達公司(NVDA)$但最終卻反其道而行之，買入看漲期權。不過，由於英偉達大幅提價，老虎最終大幅盈利。
一位XTrader在股指大幅V型走勢中下單，仔細規劃持倉配置，在入睡前將部分持倉對衝。
早上一醒來，她發現對衝頭寸幾乎完全失敗，但整體投資組合卻意外上漲了13-14%。
多頭和對衝頭寸的收益和損失應該只帶來幾個百分點的收益。事實是，她在最後一個多頭訂單中錯誤地輸入了一個額外的零。
