The firm must also approve the designation of an account as discretionary before this trading can occur. Unauthorized trading occurs when brokers exercise discretionary trades in nondiscretionary accounts.
FINRA Rule 2010
FINRA Rule 2010 holds brokers to high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade. Unauthorized trading violates this rule.
