Why can't I place an advanced order on some instruments?
If advanced orders appear greyed out or disabled on a specific instrument, it means that instrument doesn't currently qualify for advanced order functionality.
Advanced orders require sufficient market liquidity - meaning enough consistent trading activity for your order to execute reliably at a specified price. When an instrument has low liquidity, a wide price spread, or unstable pricing, advanced orders are disabled. This protects you from orders executing at unexpected prices, or not executing at all.
