Why are sell options for some stocks greyed out on eToro?
Asked 4 years ago
Hi all, this may be something simple to answer but I have looked at a few stocks ( Oatley, Rolls Royce, Nio, and Riot Block Chain). All of these have the sell option greyed out. Can anyone tell me why? TIA.

Sell options for Oatley, Rolls Royce, Nio, and Riot BlockChain have greyed out to protect traders.
As the financial market has wavered in recent weeks, some securities are not trading at "good value," which is likely to put traders at a competitive disadvantage if they had no other recourse than selling conventional stocks as sell orders.

There are a couple of potential reasons why the "sell" option could be greyed out, but it's probably because eToro doesn't allow you to short (i.e. "sell") positions on every stock. Regarding the stocks you mentioned, like Rolls Royce and Riot BlockChain - these are often regarded as extremely volatile stocks. This means that they often have drastic price changes, and could very well lose you your money.
Keep in mind that the "sell" option also get's turned off when the stock market is closed. Remember that the stock market's open hours are from 9:30 AM to 4 PM Eastern Time.
