Could you please confirm if you are referring to the real stock or the CFD derivative of NIO?

Its the real stock. I go onto NIO and click buy ( amount 1 ) then it just says the same message over and over. Am i doing something wrong?
This is coming up on other stocks as well like Tesla? What does it mean?

I am also seeing this selling shares “The maximum remaining quantity for short positions with this instrument is 0”. To be clear these aren’t CFDs.

This is being looked into. For the time being, I would recommend a restart of the app, and if it does not help - a switch to the web-based platform to perform the action.

I have attempted to buy another share in NIO however it has been pending now for over an hour. Why is it taking so long.
Kind regards,
