The securities industry operates on trust between investors and their financial advisors. When that trust is potentially compromised through unauthorized trading, investors need to know their rights. In August 2025, an investor filed a complaint against Jordana Wojnowski, a Winter Haven, Florida-based financial advisor registered with LPL Financial, doing business as Allen & Company.
The complaint specifically alleges that Ms. Wojnowski made unauthorized sales of stock products while representing LPL Financial. The investor claims damages of at least $5,000, and the complaint remains pending. For investors who have worked with Ms. Wojnowski, this allegation raises important questions about account oversight and trading authorization.

What Unauthorized Trading Means for Investors
Unauthorized trading occurs when a financial advisor executes transactions in your account without proper permission. This practice violates fundamental securities regulations and can significantly impact your investment portfolio and financial goals.
Common signs of unauthorized trading include:
- Transactions appearing in your account that you didn’t discuss or approve
- Sudden changes in your portfolio allocation without your knowledge
- Trading activity that doesn’t align with your investment objectives
- Excessive buying and selling that generates commissions
- Difficulty getting clear explanations about specific trades
Red Flags Investors Should Monitor
Protecting your investments requires vigilance. Regular account monitoring helps identify potential issues early. Here are critical red flags that deserve immediate attention:
Documentation Issues: If your advisor resists providing written confirmations of trading instructions or seems evasive about documenting conversations, this warrants concern. Proper documentation protects both you and your advisor.
Communication Breakdown: A trustworthy advisor maintains open communication. If you’re having trouble reaching your advisor or receiving delayed responses to important questions about your account, consider this a warning sign.
Account Statement Discrepancies: Review every statement carefully. Unexplained transactions, unfamiliar investments, or activity levels that seem excessive for your investment profile require immediate clarification.
Protecting Your Investment Rights
Financial regulations exist to protect investors from improper conduct. FINRA rules specifically prohibit brokers from making trades without proper authorization. These protections ensure that your investment decisions remain under your control.
If you suspect unauthorized trading in your account:
- Document everything – Keep records of all communications and account statements
- Request written explanations for any questionable transactions
- Review your account agreement to understand what permissions you’ve granted
- Consider seeking professional guidance to evaluate your situation
Why Time Matters in Investment Disputes
Investment disputes have strict time limitations. Acting quickly protects your ability to seek recovery if you’ve suffered losses due to unauthorized trading. Delays can impact your legal options and potentially affect the evidence available to support your case.
The securities arbitration process provides a forum for investors to seek compensation for losses caused by advisor misconduct. Understanding this process and your rights within it can make a significant difference in protecting your financial interests.
