Market Blunders

It never ceases to amaze me the silly mistakes people make playing the market. This is a screenshot of sell orders.







What's wrong with this picture?

I hope for his sake that was a rookie who hasn't figured out how the market works or what a school system is yet. Otherwise he's not paying nearly enough attention to what he's doing. If so maybe next time ADD strikes he'll sell me something expensive by mistyping his next sell order with a few significant digits missing.

This one's a very minor mistake that won't cost the poster much but I see very costly mistakes frequently too. The worst (yes I've done it myself more than once) is mistyping a price and either paying way too much for something or selling something for way too little.

My own personal worst blunder was entering a few hundred buy orders in a rush while experiencing input lag and paying 2.04 BILLION for a couple implants instead of the 204 million (102 mil each) I wanted to pay for them.

I'm going to make this a semi regular feature, tagged as Blunders and start posting some of the more costly blunders people make.
