Why can I only sell my stock and not buy more of it?

Sometimes a stock is set to “sell only.” You can keep or sell what you already own, but you cannot add new shares. This is usually a temporary risk or compliance measure, not a problem with your account.

Common reasons:

Regulatory or compliance rules. We may be required to block new buys due to sanctions, issuer disclosures, or other regulatory instructions.

Market or issuer status. The company may be at risk of delisting, in bankruptcy protection, halted, or trading on OTC markets at very low prices. These conditions often carry higher fraud or manipulation risk.

Corporate actions. During events like rights issues, mergers, or restructurings, new buys can be restricted while existing holders are allowed to sell.

Product documentation. If required documents for retail investors are missing or withdrawn (for example, a KID), we cannot allow new retail purchases.

Operational limits. Some markets or data providers restrict new buys in certain instruments, or we may apply platform risk controls in exceptional situations.
