Fractional equity purchases

[pjsmith]

Hi,

IB has also jumped into the ring with fractional share purchases, so it's made me look a it with regards to NT support. It seems not possible as the qty selector does not appear to allow values less than 1.0. From reading IB docs, they say all you need to do it request a fractional amount, once it's enabled on your account, so perhaps all NT needs to do, to support this, is allow values smaller than 1 in the qty selector? IB is a little more intelligent in that you can put in a $ value and it will work out the qty amount for you, but it seems the qty fix in nt might be a very simple one, so perhaps NT could look at this, if it is not already possible?

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

As far as I am aware, the Quantity field needs to be an integer so fractional shares would not be supported at this time, but would be happy to create a Feature Request for this item. I'll follow up with you when I have a tracking number for this item.

Thank you for your suggestion!
