"A fat finger trade occurs when someone accidentally buys / sells more securities than he or she had intended to. It's called a fat finger because when the trader types in the number of securities to buy/sell, his finger hits an extra number or two, and ends up buying / selling 10 or 100 times more scrips than he had intended."
