Robert Wayne Pearce Is Committed to Recovering Your Investment Losses
FINRA Rule 3260 (Discretionary Accounts) is frequently relevant when a dispute turns on whether a representative exercised trading discretion without proper written authorization and firm acceptance. In matters alleging unsolicited or unauthorized trading, investigators often scrutinize whether the representative had discretionary authority, whether required approvals were in place, and whether the trading activity matched the customer’s stated instructions and the account’s permitted trading parameters.
FINRA Rule 2360 (Options) can be implicated when the recommendations or trading activity involve options (including index options) because it governs options account approval, supervision, and related firm obligations. In an options-related dispute alleging improper order handling or unauthorized activity, the rules governing options supervision and controls become especially important—particularly where margin and complex derivative exposure are involved.
FINRA Rule 2010 (Standards of Commercial Honor and Principles of Trade) is commonly cited in customer disputes alleging sales-practice misconduct because it broadly requires high standards of commercial honor. When a claimant alleges trades were placed improperly or in violation of applicable conduct standards, Rule 2010 is often a central framework used to evaluate whether the conduct at issue was consistent with just and equitable principles.
