Why its say selling kore than 1% of us midcap ?????
It cant let me close my position
Hello, thank you for reaching out. You are receiving an error when trying to close a position in a US Midcap stock due to exceeding the 1% ADV (Average Daily Volume) threshold.
The 1% ADV rule restricts the sale of any US Midcap position to 1% of the average daily trading volume, measured over the prior 90 calendar days. This is done to comply with regulations regarding the sale of unregistered securities and to minimize price impact.
To close a position subject to the 1% ADV rule, you would need to break up the sale into multiple orders below the 1% ADV threshold. You can check the ADV value in the product information for the stock.
If you need assistance determining the appropriate order quantities to remain under the 1% threshold, please contact the IBKR Trade Desk for guidance: http://spr.ly/IBKR_ClientServicesCampus

How to transfer another ISA fund to IB ISA?
Hello, thank you for asking. To transfer an existing ISA to IBKR, you will need to submit a transfer instruction to IBKR via the Transfer & Pay funding page in Client Portal. IBKR will then instruct your existing ISA manager to transfer your investments and/or cash into your IBKR Stocks and Shares ISA.
Where IBKR does not support all your investments held at your existing ISA Manager, you can either liquidate these investments yourself prior to submitting your transfer instruction or instruct IBKR to liquidate them on your behalf as part of the transfer request.
Only full account transfers are supported, not partial transfers. Position transfers are available from certain ISA managers – when requesting a transfer, supported providers will have a position transfer option.
There are no transfer charges from IBKR but your existing ISA manager may charge a fee.
