You may not be able to buy/sell certain stocks when: - The stock is under surveillance (ASM, GSM, SMS) by exchange - There are no buyers/sellers for these stocks (low liquidity). In this case, you can still place a limit order, but market orders will be disabled. - You’re trying to sell a trade-to-trade (T2T) stock before delivery. T2T stocks can be sold after delivery only, i.e., 2 working days after an order is placed (T+2 days).
