Top 5 'fat-finger' trades that rocked global marketsJapan's Jitters with $711 Billion Blunder2014: In what could have been one of most expensive fat-finger trades ever. Someone placed more than 40 erroneous orders in some of Asia’s largest corporations, representing hundreds of billions of dollars of business. Orders included a request for 1.9 billion shares in Toyota, around 57 per cent of its total share capital. Though no real losses were accouted for as the trades were cancelled - the total value of the cancelled trade were greater than the economy of Sweden. Samsung Sec's $140 Billion Slip Up 2018: An employee at one of South Korea's largest brokerages, tried to pay employees 1,000 won ($1.25) per share in dividends under a company compensation plan, but instead gave them 1,000 company shares instead, worth on paper about 112.6 trillion won ($140 billion), more than 30 times the company's market value.Things got worse when 16 employees sold the stock, spurring a rout of as much as 12 per cent in the space of minutes on April 6, the biggest decline since the global financial crisis. Deutsche's $6 Billion Debacle2019: The German bank accidentally transferred $6bn to a hedge fund client in 2015 after a junior trader on its foreign exchange desk mistakenly put through the trade. Even though the trade was reversed it left a unbilled damaged to the bank's goodwill. 
Mizuho’s Mess Up Cost Millions2005: The brokerage arm of Mizuho accidentally offered to sell 610,000 shares of recruitment company J-Com at one yen, instead of the intended one share at 610,000 yen. Mizuho was forced to pay 912,000 yen a share to investors who bought shares of J-Com, suffering a loss of $335 million, as part of an emergency settlement plan
Gold's No Haven2017: Gold traders were rattled in Juneby a huge spike in volume in New York futures when trading jumped to 1.8 million ounces of gold in just a minute, an amount bigger than the gold reserves of Finland. Only possible explanation: a mistaken trade of 18,149 lots of a futures contract, about 100 times the size of a typical trade of 18,149 ounces.
