Answer:
a rules violation
Explanation:
This action that is being undertaken by the representative in this scenario would be a rules violation. As a representative, you have the obligation to analyze a stock and a trade, and then advise your client of any pertinent information regarding the unsolicited trade that they want to make. Therefore, knowing that the unsolicited trade contains breakpoints and your client wants to make a very large purchase that surpasses those breakpoints then it is your obligation to advise them about these breakpoints. This was not done by the representative in this scenario.
