Why was my order rejected with the message “Non-marketable orders that are less than a share not allowed”?
Some orders for less than 1 share are not allowed when the order price is not close enough to the current market price.
For example:
- 1.75 shares: Your order will be accepted because you are buying more than 1 share.
- 0.75 shares: Your order will be rejected because you are buying less than 1 share.
In simple terms: If your order is for less than 1 share, it may be rejected when your chosen price is not close enough to the current market price.
