The SEC announced charges against LA-based market access provider Wedbush Securities and two officials accused of violating the agency’s market access rule that requires firms to have adequate risk controls in place before providing customers with access to the market. The SEC’s Enforcement Division alleges the company, which has consistently ranked as one of the five largest firms by trading volume on NASDAQ, failed to maintain direct and exclusive control over settings in trading platforms used by its customers to send orders to the markets.
