【analysis】
Under Standard III(B)-Fair Dealing,members and candidates should disclose to clients and prospective clients how they select accounts to participate in and how they determine the amount of securities each account will buy or sell.Trade allocation procedures must be fair and equitable,and disclosure of inequitable allocation methods does not relieve the member or candidate of this obligation.All discretionary accounts should be treated in the same manner.Treating newer accounts differently would be considered inequitable regardless of whether this policy is disclosed.;
