When Your Broker Failed to Buy or Sell a Stock
There is a level of trust that is built between an investor-client and the broker. In addition, a broker or financial advisor has the duty to operate in good faith, which includes executing any orders that were made by the client. When he or she fails to do so, it could be considered stockbroker misconduct.If your broker did not buy or sell a specific security after you provided instructions to do so, you may be able to recover your financial loss. This type of claim is typically referred to as “failure to execute.”
A failure to execute claim could include any of the following:
- A broker refused to buy or sell a stock
- A stop loss order was not executed
- An investor had reason to believe an order was made, even though the broker advised against it
Broker misconduct cases, such as this one, are almost always handled in securities arbitration before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. During the arbitration hearing, you will be able to present evidence that your broker failed to execute your order and you lost money as a result. The arbitration panel will then decide if you will be able to recover damages.
