FAQs
Fractional Share trading is a strategic approach that enables investors to purchase less than a full share of a company. This method democratizes access to high-value stocks, allowing participation in the equity of sought-after companies without the need for substantial capital investment. With an order minimum of just 0.00001 shares and a threshold of $5, investors can diversify their portfolios, acquiring stakes in stocks or ETFs more affordably.
At Firstrade, every account type is eligible for fractional share trading. This inclusive approach ensures that all Firstrade clients have the opportunity to diversify their investment portfolios through fractional share trading, regardless of the account type they hold.
To begin trading fractional shares on Firstrade's platforms, follow the intuitive process akin to traditional stock transactions. On the mobile app, identify the stock symbol you're interested in and select "Buy" to enter the order placement interface, where you can specify your investment in fractional shares based on either dollar value or quantity. On the web trading platform, head to "Trading" > "Stocks/ETFs," input the amount or number of shares you aim to purchase or sell, and follow the straightforward prompts to finalize your transaction.
Firstrade offers fractional share trading access to 4,000 stocks and ETFs across prominent exchanges like the NYSE and Nasdaq, though the list of eligible securities is dynamic and subject to adjustments. If a security is not available for fractional trading on the mobile app, the interface will not display options for notional dollar-based orders for that symbol. On the web platform, a message will alert clients to the ineligibility of the stock for fractional trades.
Firstrade accepts market and limit orders for fractional share trading to facilitate straightforward buy and sell transactions. However, order types such as stop, stop limit, trailing stop dollar, and trailing stop percentage are not supported. Additionally, short selling is not available for fractional shares.
