fsshon, check out the Intermarket Surveillance Group (ISG) and request a "Blue Sheet Audit"

A blue sheet Audit compares a Brokers "tape" with the actual sequence in executing customer trades. If memory serves me correct, one can contact the ISG and request a "Blue Sheet Audit (EBS). The audit will determined if the BD is executing trades in an orderly manner or "manipulating the tape"

http://www.isgportal.org/isgportal/public/home.htmTrading in Security Futures Products

Excerpt from the site:
"To detect manipulation and insider trading, the Commodity Exchange Act and the Exchange Act require that exchanges and associations trading security futures products have procedures in place for coordinated surveillance with other markets on which security futures products trade, any market on which any security underlying the security futures product is traded, and other markets on which any related security trades. The SEC and CFTC have interpreted the statutory requirement for coordinated surveillance to mean that an exchange or association must be: a Full Member of the ISG; an Affiliate Member having entered into appropriate supplemental information-sharing agreements; or have the ability to obtain all information that a Full Member of the ISG is currently able to obtain from both current and former members, including, among other things, the ability to obtain market surveillance reports or information, and information relating to investigations. Any information-sharing arrangement that is not effected through membership in the ISG should ensure that the information sharing is comparable to being a Full Member of the ISG. In a Federal Register release dated May 24, 2002 (page 36750), the CFTC and the SEC issued interpretive guidance regarding the coordinated surveillance requirement and membership in the ISG.

Hope this helps.
