Hey there, @Soccerstar9000. Thanks for reaching out! To determine why your account is restricted, you may first try reviewing your Message Center on Fidelity.com for a message with information about the restriction. Generally, there are cash trading violations or Pattern Day Trade (PDT) rules that may have an impact, depending on whether you have a cash or margin account. We go over these restrictions in more detail at the resources below if you’re looking for an overview.
