Trading errors alway benefit the client. Made them extra money…they keep it otherwise you’d profit off of your mistake with your client’s money. Accidentally lost them money…you make them whole. Maybe it’s out of scope for the exam, but pretty much every firm in existence has E&O insurance to cover trading errors.
