alv123 Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 I have fractional shares enabled on my IB paper trading account. So if I want to buy 3.59 shares of common stock it will let me. However, when I submit the same order through Medved, the order is rounded to the nearest whole number. Also, if I try to buy less than 1 share of something, Medved displays an error. I have searched through the help menu and this forum, but haven't been able to find a fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 IB's API does not support fractional orders. If attempted, they return the following error: Fractional-sized order cannot be placed via API. Please use desktop version to place this order.
