Tokyo broker made an error - $225 Million loss - GoFuckYourself.com

CamRabbit · 12-08-2005, 05:18 PM

Sold 610,000 shares at 1 yen (less than .01 cent) instead of 1 share at 610,000 yen ($5,080 share). CPU warned of input error, but they put through transaction anyway - sounds like one of my employees.

gotta love the fat fingers.. I dunno how anyone can trade and not use the preview option before you hit the trade button..

Doctor Dre · 12-08-2005, 05:41 PM

Jeez I'd suicide myself after doing a such error

reynold · 12-08-2005, 07:31 PM

Never underestimate the destructive power of a screwed up CPU...

Strange thing is, that there are not even 610.000 shares of that fund...So I would fire the programmer too....

Vitasoy · 12-09-2005, 09:15 AM

More likely the programmer's manager:

Manager: We need this tomorrow!

Programmer: I won't have time to do all the testing and error checking if we go live tomorrow.

Manager: Will it let you put through trades?

Programmer: Yeah, but--

Manager: Tomorrow then!
