Quick Summary
Fortune Capital unauthorised trading means orders placed in your account without your instruction. NSE files these as Type IV, and the Private Limited entity shows 5 such complaints in 2023-24 and 10 in 2024-25, with none before. This guide covers six warning signs, a plan for the first hour, day and week, and a table that separates a bad trade from an unauthorised one. Fortune Capital Services, now Flattrade Broking Private Limited, is a SEBI registered broker, so you have formal routes to act on.
You open your app, and there is a trade in your account that you do not remember placing.
The stock is unfamiliar. The quantity is odd. The time says you were asleep, or in a meeting, or nowhere near your phone.
That sinking feeling is what many clients describe when they run into Fortune Capital unauthorised trading.
The first day matters more than the first month, so this guide starts with what to do right away.
It also shows what NSE has recorded for this broker, and how to tell a bad trade from one you never gave.
What Does Unauthorised Trading Mean On Your Fortune Capital Account?
Let’s keep the idea simple. Unauthorized trading is any order placed in your account that you did not ask for, either yourself or through a person you allowed.
The word “allowed” matters. If someone else had access to your login, or if you had given a dealer the right to trade for you, the question changes.
Fortune Capital Services, now Flattrade Broking Private Limited, is a stock broker registered with SEBI.
That means its dealers and systems must act only on your instructions.
Unauthorised Trading Or A Losing Trade: How Fortune Capital Cases Are Judged?
Many people start from the loss. They say the trade lost money, so it must have been unauthorised.
That is not enough. A complaint stands on the order, not on the result.
The question to answer is simple: who gave the instruction, and how can that be shown?
Everything below is built around that question.
Does A Power Of Attorney Allow Unauthorised Trading On Your Account?
Check what you signed when you opened the account. A power of attorney or a Demat Debit and Pledge Instruction gives the broker the right to move your shares in certain ways.
These forms do not give anyone the right to trade without your instruction. But they can affect how a dispute is argued.
Find your copy and read what you agreed to. If you never signed one, say that clearly in your complaint.

What Does NSE Record For Fortune Capital Unauthorised Trading?
NSE groups every complaint by type, and Type IV covers unauthorised trades and misappropriation.
That is the closest official label to this problem.
Below are the Private Limited figures:
| Financial year | Clients | Total complaints | Type IV | Type IV per 10,000 clients |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021-22 | 6,919 | 3 | 0 | 0 |
| 2022-23 | 15,794 | 12 | 0 | 0 |
| 2023-24 | 29,813 | 28 | 5 | under 2 |
| 2024-25 | 35,123 | 61 | 10 | about 3 |
What Changed Between 2022-23 And 2023-24?
Type IV went from none to five in one year, then doubled to ten. The client base grew too, but not enough to explain a jump from zero.
We cannot say why from the data. NSE records the count and the type, not the reason behind it.
What we can say is that by 2024-25, about one in six complaints was a Type IV complaint.
What These Numbers Do Not Show?
Type IV also includes misappropriation, so not every case is a stray order. Some may involve money or securities moved without consent.
NSE marks all of these as resolved in the years we checked, and shows no arbitration cases. “Resolved” means closed, not that the client was satisfied.
So treat the table as a reason to check your own account, not as a verdict on the firm.

6 Warning Signs Of Fortune Capital Unauthorised Trading In Your Account
Most clients find out by accident. A balance looks lower, or a message arrives about a stock they never heard of.
Go through these six signs with your trade book open. Any one of them is worth writing down.
1. Orders In Your Trade Book That You Did Not Place
This is the clearest sign. Compare every order in your trade book with what you remember doing.
Note the time and the stock name for each one that does not fit. These details become the core of your complaint.
2. Trades In Stocks You Have Never Traded
A sudden position in an illiquid or unknown stock is a red flag. Most people trade a small set of names they know.
If a stock appears that you have never searched or watched, record it with the date.
3. Missing Alerts Or Changed Contact Details
You should get a message for every trade. If those messages stopped, or went to a different number or email, ask when and why.
Check your registered mobile and email in the account profile. A change you did not make is important evidence.
4. Funds Or Margin Used Without Approval
Look at your ledger for debits you did not request. Margin that was used, or money that moved, should match something you did.
Flag any entry you cannot explain, and save a screenshot.
5. Trades Right After You Spoke To A Dealer
Sometimes a call about “ideas” is followed by orders in your account. If you only listened and gave no order, those trades are a problem.
Write down the date and time of each call, and what was said. Phone logs help.
6. A Contract Note That Does Not Match Your Memory
The contract note is the formal record of each day’s trades. If it lists orders you cannot place, that is a written mismatch.
Keep the note and mark every line in question.

What To Do Right After Unauthorised Trading In Your Fortune Capital Account?
Speed matters when a trade is not yours, because proof can disappear and positions can change. But panic leads to mistakes, so it helps to have an order to follow.
Work through the three stages below one at a time:
1. In The First Hour
Start by securing the account. Change your password and sign out of every other device you see logged in.
Then save the proof. Take screenshots of your trade book, positions, and ledger before anything changes.
Do not close the trade in anger. A square-off now can muddy the record you are trying to protect.
2. By The End Of The Day
Now put it in writing. Email the broker and name each trade you did not place, with its date, time and stock.
Ask them to stop trading on the account and to confirm that in writing. Also ask for the order details of every disputed trade.
What comes after this email is a longer road, and our guide on how to file a complaint against Fortune Capital lays it out step by step.
3. Within The First Week
If the broker’s reply is vague or missing, the exchange is your next step.
Fortune Capital is an NSE member, so you can report a complaint in NSE with the same file you already sent.
Keep one timeline everywhere. If your two versions differ, that gap is the first thing the other side will point to.
What Happens After You Complain?
Filing is not the end of it.
The next few weeks are about reading what comes back and knowing how to answer it.
Here is what usually follows, and how to respond at each point.
1. Reading The Broker’s Reply
Wait for a written answer and read it twice. A line like “we are looking into it” is not a resolution.
Reply and ask for a clear yes or no on each disputed trade. Keep the whole thread, because it becomes part of your file.
2. When The Broker Says The Trade Was Yours
Ask for the proof behind that claim. That means the order log, the device used, and any call record.
If the proof matches your own activity, you may have a bad trade rather than an unauthorised one. If it does not, you now have a clear gap to push on.
What You Can Ask Fortune Capital To Show You?
You are allowed to ask for records, and you should. The firm holds the logs that show how each order entered the system.
Ask for these in your written complaint:
- Order details: the time, price, and quantity for each disputed trade.
- How the order was placed: app, web, or dealer.
- Login records: the device and location used at that time.
- Call records: if a dealer took the order by phone.
- Alerts sent: the message sent to you for each trade.
If the order came through your own login on your own device, the story changes. If it came through a dealer terminal with no call from you, that is a different story.
Bad Trade Or Unauthorised Trading On Your Fortune Capital Account: How To Tell
This is the question every broker will ask first.
Use the table below to see where your case sits.
| Question | Points to a bad trade | Points to unauthorised trading |
|---|---|---|
| Who placed the order? | You did | You did not |
| Is it in your app history? | Yes, from your device | No, or from a device you do not use |
| Did you get an alert? | Yes | Missing or sent elsewhere |
| Did you speak to a dealer? | You gave a clear order | You only discussed ideas |
| Is it a charge issue? | The trade was yours but the fees look wrong | The trade itself was not yours |
If only the fees look wrong, your case belongs with Fortune Capital excess charges, which has its own audit.
If several answers sit in the right-hand column, you likely have an unauthorised trading case. Be honest with yourself, because a weak claim wastes time.
Conclusion
If a trade in your account is not yours, move quickly and stay calm. Save the proof, write to the broker, and keep one timeline.
NSE shows unauthorised trade complaints for this broker rising from none to ten in two years. That is worth knowing, but your own trade book is the stronger evidence.
Be clear about the difference between a bad trade and one you never placed, and your case will be easier to argue.
Report. Recover. Stay Fraud Free.
Type IV is NSE’s category for unauthorised trades and misappropriation. Any complaint that a broker like Fortune Capital traded or moved a client’s assets without consent is filed here, which makes it the closest official label for this problem. For the Private Limited entity, NSE shows none in 2021-22 and 2022-23, then 5 in 2023-24 and 10 in 2024-25. NSE lists these complaints as resolved, which means closed, not that every client was satisfied. It depends on proof. A clear record that you never gave the order, such as login history, alerts and call records, makes a refund claim stronger. There is no automatic guarantee, so keep every document. Save your proof first, including screenshots of your positions and ledger. Then tell Fortune Capital in writing about the disputed trade before you close anything, because your own actions can affect the claim. No. A tip is only an idea, not an instruction. For Fortune Capital to act, the order must come from you, and your trade book and call logs should show that you gave none.Frequently Asked Questions
