Selling fractional shares requires a market order, as limit orders can only be executed with whole shares.

In order to sell fractional shares on the web:

  1. Select the three dots next to the stock you want to sell

  2. Select "Sell"

  3. Order Type needs to be a Market order, "Sell in Dollars"

  4. Select the "Sell All" option at the bottom of the Trade box.

  5. Select the ‘Sell now’ button and submit the order.
