Eligibility criteria

A stock or ETF must meet our eligibility criteria to become available for trading.

When you search for an asset that is unavailable to trade, you'll see a brief message explaining why. Some of the reasons are as follows –

The security type is not supported
We only support stocks and ETFs in self-directed trading accounts. We don't support any other assets in self-directed trading accounts, including:

• Mutual Funds
• Preferred Shares
• Securities that trade Over-the-counter (OTC)
• Forwards & Futures
• Rights and Warrants
• Bonds
• Investment Savings Accounts & Money Markets
• Stocks & ETFs that trade on non-North American exchanges

This security isn’t listed on a supported exchange
You can trade stocks and ETFs on the following exchanges:

• Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX)
• TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV)
• New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
• NASDAQ
• NEO
• Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE)
• BATS Exchange

If the security you're looking for is listed on another exchange or is traded over-the-counter (OTC) you will not be able to purchase it. If the security is listed on both a US exchange and a Canadian exchange, we will only support the security listed on the Canadian exchange.

This security may not meet our settlement or average daily trading volume requirements
We only allow securities to be traded that settle with the Canadian Depository for Securities (CDS). We also impose minimum price and volume constraints for stocks traded on the platform.

The security is delisted, suspended, or halted
In most cases, orders can’t be submitted for securities that are delisted or suspended. Orders can be submitted for securities that are halted, however, they will not fill until trading resumes.
