Whether buying or selling, if you didn't authorize it, the broker can't do it. But timing is everything. Sometimes the broker will admit the mistake and try to talk you into accepting the situation. The broker may tell you that he made or didn't make the trade for your benefit and talk you into not complaining. These cases deteriorate with age. Prompt complaints mean high probability of recovery. Long term delays decrease recovery potential.
