《大廳矮桌的錯置期貨單、24美金盈利與消失的下單鍵》

2023年5月14日：

好像是在旅途中，進了一間大廳。在門左側找到一個小矮桌。我將一個大本子從手提箱裡取出，想坐在箱子上操作，但皮質的軟箱有點合不上。

桌面並不大，上面還堆放著其他東西。我的大本子無法展平，打開後像報紙一樣大，是幾張疊在一起的淺棕色的油紙，很薄、有點皺，但很結實。本子上面密密麻麻地印滿了一行行的字母和數字。

還沒等坐穩，我手裡拿著的筆不小心就點在了某一組字母上了。「嘀嗒」一聲，動靜像是在屏幕上點擊了一下，信息迅速就傳了出去。我心裡一驚：「啊！」原來是一不小心意外地下了一張期貨市價單，且已經成交！

買進的合約名稱是D字打頭的，一共三個字母。我的第一反應是必須立即管控新增加的風險敞口，這是交易的紀律！我的習慣是，只要出現不在計劃或預料之內的情況，需要立即截斷額外的風險。

我迅速打開了這個D字開頭的合約價格圖，發現線條是上漲後的窄幅整理，新合約顯示已經有了24美元的盈利。同時我注意到，賬戶裡還有一張過夜單，暫時贏利6美元。

當務之急是要把這手多單平倉。我想將這手不小心買入的多單平倉，或者設置一個跟蹤止損，但任憑我怎麼找，也找不到可以點擊下單的按鍵。

醒來，時間是早晨8點37分。

The Accidental Futures Order on the Low Table, a $24 Profit, and the Vanished Execution Button

May 14, 2023:

I seemed to be on a journey, entering a large hall. To the left of the door, I found a small low table. I retrieved a large ledger from my suitcase, intending to sit upon the case to work, though the soft leather luggage would not easily close.

The tabletop was small and cluttered with other objects. My large ledger could not be laid flat; when opened, it was as large as a newspaper, consisting of several sheets of light brown greaseproof paper layered together—very thin and somewhat wrinkled, yet highly durable. The ledger was densely printed with rows of letters and numbers.

Before I could even settle into my seat, the pen I was holding accidentally tapped against a specific group of letters. A crisp click resounded, precisely like a tap on a digital screen, and the order was instantly transmitted. Panic hit me: "Ah!" I had inadvertently executed a futures market order, and it was already filled!

The purchased contract name began with the letter "D" and consisted of three letters total. My immediate reaction was that I must manage this newly added risk exposure immediately—this is the strict discipline of trading! My habit dictates that whenever an unplanned or unexpected situation arises, any additional risk must be cut off instantly.

I swiftly pulled up the price chart for this D-initiated contract and discovered it was in a narrow consolidation phase following an upward move. The new contract indicated a profit of 24 dollars. Concurrently, I noticed an overnight position remaining in the account, showing a temporary gain of 6 dollars.

The urgent priority was to close this long position. I wanted to close the long contract purchased by mistake or establish a trailing stop, yet no matter how frantically I searched, the button to execute the order was nowhere to be found.

Waking time: 8:37 AM.
