Are preferred stocks unable to be traded on C2?

Can we trade preferred stock as part of our strategy?

I have tried every different way of entering the order. Some even populate properly on the symbol drop-down prediction list on the order entry screen. However when I attempt to submit the order, it always comes up with an error message ‘Symbol #### appears to be untradeable’.

Is this a glitch, are we not allowed to trade preferred stocks, or am I entering it wrong? I know there are various ways to create the tickers for preferred issues at different brokers.

Hi, Brett -

As of right now preferred shares are not tradable. I’ll work on making them tradable in the next week or two.

Thank you Matthew! One of my systems I am currently working on really could use the ability to trade preferreds!
