Had a bad trade on a CFD platform back in 2018 at a coffee shop in Austin

I was in a rush to close out a position before the bell. Clicked the wrong button on the app. Sold when I meant to buy. Lost $300 in about 30 seconds. After that I started checking every order twice. Has anyone else had a similar meltdown from a fat finger mistake?

The app should warn you before it executes.

Friend of mine hit confirm on a file delete. No warning. Gone. He sat there staring at the screen for like a full minute.
