I just got off the phone with an attorney. He told me I have every right to file and should win based on:
· Law of Negligence – The brokerage should not give advice, they are negligent in the advice they gave and I lost $3,700 due to their negligent advice. They should not give advice.
· Promissory estoppel – contract clause
· Adhesion contract – They are forcing you to sign the contract to do business. I am a consumer with weaker bargaining power and they are a business with stronger bargaining power. They are basically forcing me to sign their contact with their liability clauses.
· They can not force me to pay their legal bills in small claims court.


As you said yourself earlier, you didn't ask for advice on the trade, they didn't give advice on the trade, they just helped you placing the stop. Which you failed to place correctly because you didn't know what you were doing and you failed to check all the settings, you failed to understand how to place the order and how to place it correctly. You and only you are responsible for this fuck up.
You don't stand a chance in court, have fun wasting even more money.
