Why is my buy/sell disabled for certain stocks?
The option to buy or sell certain stocks might be temporarily disabled or restricted due to several reasons:
- Trade Restrictions, Suspensions, or Surveillance:
- Stocks might be under trade restrictions by the exchange.
- They could be suspended from trading.
- They might be part of surveillance categories like GSM (Graded Surveillance Measure) or ASM (Additional Surveillance Measure) due to high volatility, unusual price movements, or other regulatory concerns.
- Lack of Liquidity:
- If there aren’t enough buyers or sellers for a stock, trading might be limited due to low liquidity, making it difficult to execute trades at fair prices.
- Intraday Restrictions:
- Some stocks may not be available for intraday trading (buying and selling on the same day) due to specific exchange rules or brokerage policies.
- Only Limit Orders Allowed:
- For certain stocks, especially those under surveillance or with high volatility, only limit orders may be allowed, and market orders are not permitted to prevent large price swings.
