If anyone is familiar with the term 'fat finger' in trading, that would be me today albeit under slightly different circumstances!
For a short term trade, I put in an order to buy shares and if executed, I put in a sell order at a higher price for the same day. Today, I made a mistake of buying the same number of shares twice and hence doubling the brokerage fee! And ending up with twice as many shares as I had intended!
Panic, panic, panic!! But what am I to do?! The orders went through and I can't exactly deny a mistake on my part.
Yogic breathing... calm, deep, blue sea....... Mental clarity, emotional detachment...... breathe, breathe, breathe....
What will be will be! If my sell order goes through, I make a profit and if not, I gotta cop it on the chin and cut my losses....
emotional detachment.. .detach detach detach...
