that's a really fun error! So I'm guessing that it was coded such that it was meant to reduce to zero (but nothing to prevent going below zero) but also had a mechanism telling it to resolve a 'negative' hedge by buying a contract.

obviously sub-optimal but really wouldn't the big risk just be losing fractional trading expenses over and over again (or if it's lightly traded accidentally painting the tape)? Worse errors to have if so
