In common parlance, it refers simply to a common [[typographical error]] made on a [[touchscreen]] or physical keyboard that occurs when the wrong selection is made or multiple selections are made due to options or keyboard keys being too close together.
In the context of [[financial market]]s, a fat finger error is specifically an instance where the details of a buy or sell [[Order (exchange)|order]] are mistakenly inputted by a user.
