Unable to sell an instrument

Help
#1

I’m unable to sell IAG shares held since yesterday in ISA. When I select a quantity I get a ‘max short available 0 for this instrument’ (paraphrasing), as if I don’t have any shares already.

Update: I managed to get it working by buying more and it now recognises all of them.

I don’t get a sell option normally if I don’t have anything - pretty sure you can’t short from an ISA, so there was/is definitely something wrong

Hi, does that mean no selling option till then? I’m unable to close any of my positions.

Hi Bbang, the issue is only on Android and appears in specific cases, you can sell your positions via the Web platform. Restarting the mobile app also helps, sometimes. We will try to push the fix ASAP, most probably in a couple of hours, then Google Play needs a couple more hours to distribute the update. The app version will be 5.6.2.2.

Unable to sell

I own shares, but no sell button appears. I have tried logging out and back in. No sell button is available for any positions. Strange bug I have never encountered before. I have tried with web app on both Edge and Chrome browsers. Same thing on phone app.
It’s a good thing I was not wanting to sell today.

You are right. How stupid of me! I forgot about that. Rookie mistake. Thanks.
