Is this limit on CFD trading a long term strategy or only temporary? When I first noticed it I was in response to extraneous market conditions but it seems it’s still in effect months later? The maximum longs for SQ has been 0 for example for a long time now. ---

Do you have enough funds in our CFD account? If you don’t have enough funds to go long for quantity 1 then it looks clear to me. I can enter a quantity. ---

Restrictions have been added unfortunately, not lifted. It’s very frustrating. ---

CFD allows the quantity to be added, however when you try to execute the order its denied. Staff posted a list of stocks prevented from Long positions 9 days ago and SQ was included (please see below). If you are able to execute the order i’m unsure if this is due to locations of customers. | ISIN | Full Name | | --- | --- | | AU000000TLS2 | Telstra | | CA05156X8843 | Aurora Cannabis 🇩🇪 | | CA05156X8843 | Aurora Cannabis 🇨🇦 | | CA05156X8843 | Aurora Cannabis 🇺🇸 | | CA0585861085 | Ballard Power Systems | | CA82509L1076 | Shopify | | DE0007472060 | Wirecard | | DE000BAY0017 | Bayer | | ES0177542018 | IAG | | GB0001500809 | Tullow Oil | | GB0006215205 | National Express | | GB0007980591 | BP PLC | | GB0008706128 | Lloyds | | GB0008847096 | Tesco | | GB0009895292 | AstraZeneca | | GB0030913577 | BritishTelecom | | GB0031215220 | Carnival | | GB00B03MLX29 | Shell | | GB00B15FWH70 | Cineworld Group | | GB00B1FW5029 | Hochschild Mining | | GB00B1KJJ408 | Whitbread | | GB00B3MBS747 | Ocado Group | | GB00B63H8491 | Rolls-Royce | | GB00B7KR2P84 | easyJet | | GB00BD3VDH82 | VivoPower International | | GB00BD6GN030 | Virgin Money | | GB00BMX64W89 | Saga | | GB00BN7CG237 | Aston Martin | | JE00B5TT1872 | Centamin | | JE00BG6L7297 | boohoo | | KYG5223X1007 | Kaixin Auto | | KYG6463T1067 | Newborn Acquisition | | KYG875721634 | Tencent Holdings Ltd | | KYG8990D1253 | TPG Pace Beneficial Finance | | KYG9830T1067 | Xiaomi Corp | | LR0008862868 | Royal Caribbean Cruises | | NL0012969182 | Adyen NV | | US0038301067 | Abraxas Petroleum | | US00507V1098 | Activision Blizzard | | US0079031078 | AMD | | US01609W1027 | Alibaba | | US02079K1079 | Alphabet | | US0231351067 | Amazon | | US02376R1023 | American Airlines | | US0378331005 | Apple | | US04351G1013 | Ascena Retail | | US0865161014 | Best Buy Co. | | US08862E1091 | Beyond Meat | | US09058V1035 | BioCryst Pharmaceuticals | | US09062X1037 | Biogen | | US09075V1026 | BioNTech | | US09354A1007 | Blink Charging | | US0970231058 | Boeing | | US1248301004 | CBL & Associates | | US12559C1036 | CIIG | | US18978W1099 | CM Life Sciences | | US19188J3005 | Cocrystal Pharma | | US1920101060 | Codiak Biosciences | | US2473617023 | Delta Air Lines | | US25400W1027 | Digital Turbine | | US2546871060 | Disney | | US2561631068 | DocuSign | | US25809K1051 | DoorDash | | US30303M1027 | Facebook | | US31188V1008 | Fastly | | US33813J1060 | Fisker | | US3443281098 | Foley Trasimene Acquisition | | US35952H6018 | FuelCell Energy | | US35953D1046 | fuboTV | | US36467W1099 | GameStop | | US3647601083 | Gap | | US3696041033 | General Electric | | US37519D1072 | GigCapital3 | | US38268T1034 | GoPro | | US42806J1060 | Hertz | | US4491091074 | Hyliion Holdings | | US45166V1061 | Ideanomics | | US51476X1054 | Landcadia Holdings II | | US5393192027 | Lixte Biotechnology | | US54951L1098 | Luckin Coffee | | US5801351017 | McDonalds | | US5949181045 | Microsoft | | US60770K1079 | Moderna | | US62914V1061 | NIO Inc | | US64110L1061 | Netflix | | US67066G1040 | Nvidia | | US6742151086 | Oasis Petroleum | | US69608A1088 | Palantir | | US70450Y1038 | PayPal | | US70614W1009 | Peloton Interactive | | US7081601061 | J.C.

If Wirecard is on that list then that means too many people are long on Wirecard… Wtf? Who are these people? ---

Thanks for the list that’s helpful, have they given a timeframe or is this permanent? Defeats the point of listing or pretending to offer them really, I’d moved over from eToro for a greater range of assets but it feels like there’s an ever growing ‘no trade’ list ---

Fools and their money, But why even list the asset? It shouldn’t be for 212 to say if it’s a poor trading choice ---

It’s not so much to do with a poor trading choice (although it really is!!). It’s T212 practicing risk management for their own finances as too many people were making cash off certain assets. Which is fair enough from a business perspective, but for us customers, it renders the CFD platform unusable IMO. ---

Agreed it’s not practical to plan a trade, entry, stop and TP only to find it’s unavailable. You get what you pay for I suppose (ignoring spreads obviously) ---

The opposite of you get what you pay for! We are paying a lot but gettint a little 😃 ---

Ugh just tried to place a long on AAPL and got knocked back. There are some pretty low volatility stocks on that list… You’re right it’s commission free but the spreads make it deceptively expensive - now we’re also blocked placing long trades that in their eyes have a high probability of generating a return - Sorry 212 but this is unworkable. It’s not me, it’s you. ---

All very true! The overnight holding fees add up as well. I wouldn’t mind paying for a premium service with a monthly fee to t212 if it meant I had access to 1:5 leverage again without restraint and the interest and spreads back the way they were a few weeks ago. It could be a way to keep the customers happy and the business secure. ---

I didn’t mind the holdings and spreads because you know what you are paying for and can factor that in - the random disabling of assets I can’t work with. If they U-turned on this I’d happily stay. eToro still give me 5:1 and reliability so although their platform looks like it was designed in the 90s, I’ve just started selling positions to move over. Have a happy new year by the way! ---

Good to know about eToro. Yeah likewise, it’s the random disabling and changes that bug me! Happy new year also.
