    If it falls under the exchange's Obvious Error rule it is pretty much automatic and cannot be appealed. You might want to check the exchange's website.

  4. Be careful, I've bought stock then sold. Then the purchase was busted which left me short. Doesn't seem like that's what happened to you, but it's a crappy situation anyway.
