'The Most Fortuitous Error I Never Regretted': $2500 in Futures Trading

A few months ago, while actively trading on Futures, I completed my usual confirmation checklist and was preparing to execute a trade on "APE TOKEN." Inadvertently, I activated the trade without verifying the leverage. It was at that moment, when I noticed a negative $50, that I realized my mistake. Interestingly, I had actually intended to go long on the pair. Fortunately, the market began surging in my intended direction, as evidenced by two consecutive bullish candles on the 5-minute timeframe.

I had already amassed $2500 in profits when I swiftly closed the trade, wary of succumbing to the pitfalls of greed. In order to ascertain the reason behind this sudden price movement, I promptly checked Ape's Twitter account and discovered ongoing promotions.

Have you encountered a similar mishap in the past?

Did it result in a profit or a loss?
