Question 1 of 30
Anya, a novice investor with limited experience in futures trading, opened a futures account with Javier, a registered futures broker. Javier explained the basics of futures contracts but did not extensively elaborate on the specific risks associated with trading during the delivery month. Anya, relying on Javier\'s guidance, engaged in trading futures contracts nearing their delivery date. Due to unexpected market volatility, Anya incurred substantial losses, exceeding her initial investment. Anya claims Javier did not adequately inform her about the heightened risks and potential for significant losses during the delivery month, nor did he fully assess her suitability for such speculative trading. Considering regulatory requirements concerning broker responsibility, client suitability, and risk disclosure, what is Anya\'s most appropriate course of action to address the situation and seek potential recourse for her losses, given the context of CIRO rules and principles established in cases like Varcoe v. Dean Witter Reynolds?
File a formal complaint with the relevant regulatory authority, detailing the alleged failures in risk disclosure and suitability assessment, to initiate an investigation into Javier's conduct.
Immediately liquidate all remaining futures positions to minimize further losses and accept the incurred losses as a consequence of market risk inherent in futures trading.
Demand Javier personally reimburse her for the losses, threatening legal action if he refuses, based on the assumption that he is solely responsible for her investment decisions.
Seek advice from a financial advisor to develop a new trading strategy and continue trading futures contracts to recover the losses, while ignoring the potential regulatory violations.
