Overtrading Excessive broker trading in a discretionary account. Underwriters persuade brokerage clients to purchase some part of a new issue in return for the purchase by the underwriter of other securities from the clients at a premium. This premium is offset by the underwriting spread. Overtrade 1. To make both buy and sell orders through different brokers to create the impression of increased interest in a security and thereby raise the price. This is a form of price manipulation and is forbidden by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It is less formally known as churning. 2. In brokering, to make more trades on a client's holdings than are necessary in order to maximize commissions. Overtrading is illegal. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
