Long on the stock, want to exit but: Order rejected The contract is not available for short sale


 

Hi,

My algo took a long position on a stock and when target was reached and wanted to exit I got this message:
201 Order rejected - reason:The contract is not available for short sale.

I'm aware of? this message if I want to go short on a stock.
But if I bought and own the shares why does this happen?

The algo runs in paper trading account so is it related?
Can this really happen live?

Thanks
A
