Unauthorized Trading Allegations: Former Broker Leonard Mcabee

Under securities industry rules, brokers must have the proper authorization to make a trade — or any other transaction — on behalf of a customer. Generally, this authorization comes in two different forms. With a non discretionary brokerage account, financial advisors must get authorization for each individual transaction. With a discretionary brokerage account, financial advisors do not need individual authorization, but they must make all trades in accordance with the client’s fundamental guidance. If losses are suffered as a result of unauthorized trading, an investor may be entitled to financial compensation through a FINRA arbitration claim.
