Interactive Brokers - stocks trading permission removed

I received this email. Can anyone explain why I cannot buy etf anymore? The last time I bought an etf was maybe 8 months ago.

Have you tried contacting support directly? They’ll be more likely to be able to help you.

Maybe it‘s the long inactivity?

Do you have substantial funds in your account?

Normally once an year you need to fill in a form which asks about your experience etc. based on these answers you are either allowed or not allowed

Try to login your account on Website of ibkr and I think you would see a popup. If your declaration is due , you would need to fill the form

If you are denied trading because of your declaration then you might need to check again the answers you provided . Try to apply for trading permissions again and see
