Does it mean the platform is no longer supporting day trade?
Migrated here from Etoro, first few days absolutely LOVE the platform, however none of the flavour-of-the-minute stocks/cryptos are available to buy at time of writing, infact there are 0 cryptos available for Buy?
What’s the deal?
I believe the servers are currently undergoing maintenance and improvements and so some parts of CFD are temporarily unavailable.
additionally crypto will have been reduced to control exposure due to a ban set to come into effect in january:

Talking Gold
So why is Gold blocked on Buy on the Gold with no expiry date, but available to buy on Gold with an expiry date?
There both gold and you can rollover the expiry date gold anyway. Is there extra fees you take pushing people towards gold with expiry dates?
Just trying to understand what’s going on so I know what market conditions I’m trading under.
Spots and futures are different instruments, either may be available when the other is not.
Hello everyone,
I’m new to trading/investing and after doing research I decided to give it a go, so far so good.
I do have a problem when it comes down to CFDs, I’m not being cocky with my funds, just doing the odd bit here and there and wanted to buy a couple off stocks from Aston Martin as they are approximately going for 80p, upon placing a pending order or trying to execute an order I get this stupid message
“the maximum remaining quantity for long positions with this instrument is 0”
Judging from that alone it’s like trading 212 is not allowing users to buy a CFD within a specific company, not only aston Martin yet Tesla to moderna has the same message…
I do have one open position within crude oil, could that be the reason why my CFD won’t be executed or approved for a pending order?
Any help would be appreciated
I believe this is due to the new measures put in place by Trading212.
From what I have gathered Trading212 are putting this in place to better assist their risk management mechanisms. Ie: effectively hedging clients positions.
This article may be of use:
Any idea when we will be able to actually buy some quantities of Tesla/ Amazon etc? I understand why T212 has put the restriction to 0 but would be nice to know in advance when T212 is planning to lift this? (I guess this isn’t just T212 that has these restrictions in place, other platforms also have this right?)
T212 has put this in place due to their own risk exposure, so it has no connection with other CFD providers. you can likely trade them elsewhere if you are happy with their commissions, fees and margin/leverage on offer.
positions for Tesla and Amazon should open up once more people close their own positions and/or activity spreads out more among instruments so tesla and amazon become less of a risk factor for T212 overall. Regulations prevent T212 from having too much risk associated to specific instruments which they are trying to avoid breaching as everyone and their mom has been trying to go the same direction in the market these last few months. It’s also more expensive for T212 to maintain when there are a lack of clients to net balance.
in effect, the reason people can’t enter new long tesla positions is because many of those on T212 who have them open, aren’t closing theirs 
Does this also apply to normal investing or only to CFD trades?
When trying to sell granite shares stocks this morning the following message is being displayed, could someone clarify what this means/why I can’t sell/ when I will be able too?
‘The maximum remaining quantity for short positions with this instrument is 0’
Trading212 have hit their maximum risk tolerance on that instrument.
Apologies for my lack of knowledge, what does that equate to any positions held? Is there any risk to the stake or just a delay on the ability to sell?
It seems to have resolved now, had me concerned for half hour. Thanks for the help
Nothing to anything being held. It’s just saying T212 don’t want any more positions for that instrument.
edit - just merging the two posts, useful links provided above.
Sounds like a bug. As far as I know this message is for CFDs only. It shouldn’t exist on the invest side.

@David - should this error message be appearing on the invest side?
As @pipo mentioned, we thought this was localised just to the cfd side?
just CFD side, Invest and ISA continue to be able to trade the shares for those companies. the issue is just that on the CFD side of things, too many people are riding a wave and refuse to get off.
as clients own the actual assets on the invest side there is no risk factor for T212 there.
