What Is Excessive Trading?

Excessive trading generally refers to a broker making an unusually high number of trades in a client’s account primarily to generate commissions or fees. Unauthorized trading occurs when a broker places trades in a client’s account without the client’s knowledge or approval. These activities can expose investors to unnecessary risks, costs, and losses.
