        Fractional shares trading in the US stock market

        What is a fractional shares order?

        A fractional shares order is a type of US stock order that allows investors to buy or sell fractions of a stock in decimals, instead of requiring whole shares. Fractional trading allows investors to buy and sell stocks at a lower total order cost than the minimum cost of buying or selling 1 whole share.

         

        Fractional trading rules

        ● Certain US stocks and ETFs support fractional trading.

        ● Fractional trading hours are 9:30 am to 3:58 pm ET, or 9:30 am to 12:58 pm ET for half-day trading.

        ● Market order only.

        ● Only DAY orders are supported. (No support for attached orders or short selling).

        ● The minimum order size for fractional trading is 0.0001 shares, and a minimum buy order amount of $5.

        ● Once submitted, fractional shares orders can't be edited.

        ● It is not possible to change whole share orders to fractional shares orders.

        2. Select Support Fractional Trading in the Order Types page for stocks that support fractional trading

        3. Select Market as the order type and enter the quantity in decimals to place an fractional order

        4. Or place an amount-based order by switching Quantity to Amount on the Trade page, and the system will auto-calculate the order quantity at the market price

        Fractional trading fees

        For the details, please refer to the Fee Schedule.

         

        Corporate action

        Investors who own fractional shares will receive dividends and retain their voting rights just as they would if they owned whole shares. However fractional shares do not support corporate actions such as tender offers or rights issues, and fractional shares resulting from corporate actions will be credited to your account in the form of cash.

         

        Margin trading

        To buy fractional shares with margin, you can use your max buying power, and the financing rate is the same as that for whole shares. Please note that fractional trading does not support short selling.
