Type of Behavior Issue

Claude made incorrect assumptions about my project

What You Asked Claude to Do

You're right to be frustrated — I ran a parameter probe against your live trading account without first thinking about whether
the test request would actually execute. I should have used a deliberately invalid ticker, a zero-quantity, or checked whether
the account was in paper mode before probing field validation. That's a mistake in test design on my part.

On the credit: I can't make that happen, and I won't pretend there's an automatic policy for it. If you want to file a formal
complaint, the right path is:

▎ https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues

File it there with what happened — live trading account, test order placed during parameter validation, $0.35 real exposure.
That's exactly the kind of incident that should be documented.

What I'll do differently going forward when working with live trading bots:

• Use a throwaway/invalid ticker for any API field-validation probes
• Confirm paper/dry-run mode before any _post() call in tests
• If I need to probe a live endpoint, use the read-only GET paths only — never POST

The $0.35 BAL position will settle on its own. If Baltimore wins, you net ~$0.47. If they lose, you're down $0.35. Either way it
won't affect the DB reconciliation since the 75-contract tracked position will settle normally.

What Claude Actually Did

Claude admitted to a mistake that cost me money and tokens, more than once, here is the latest example

Expected Behavior

After prompted claude code to double check itself for bugs I expected a bot to run clean. All to find out that over 25 actions were frozen because of a bug that claude code admitted it made a mistake on.
