How does Totality determine the different ratings for instruments?

Totality determines the rating of an instrument by evaluating factors such as market capitalization, liquidity, volatility, country of incorporation, industry, and mergers & acquisitions activity of the underlying instrument.  

Determining ratings is an ongoing process which is why the rating on an instrument might change over time.

Why are some instruments "reduce only"?

Some instruments are designated as "reduce only" which can be caused for various reasons. This designation means that you can only reduce your existing positions and not open new ones in the instrument.

It's important to note that this status does not necessarily correlate with the rating and may be associated with other factors such as low liquidity.

Why can I suddenly only reduce my position?

You might be unable to increase your previously held or current positions for several reasons, such as changes in your exposure, the liquidity of the instrument, or an increase in the rating of the instrument.
