So I normally like to keep my shares to the nearest 2 decimal points, for example 0.25 of a share. I accidentally put a value order in for a stock and now I have 26.385235 of a stock (KO).
Given the maximum fractional share I can buy of KO is 0.01, my OCD is now ruined. Is there any way T212 can help save my OCD by allowing a smaller fraction of a share to be bought?
I now need to have a lie down and breathe deeply…
haha, just a warning though. in maths when we say “increase the precision” what is actually being said is “we need even more decimal points” xD
but being able to specify your tolerance limit for accuracy should maybe be an option so you don’t go below 3 decimals, even if it means its not the perfect upper limit for the shares you could have gotten with your money.
I guess just a number of decimal places setting could be in settings. Would be nice to have the option.
Or maybe an expanding numbers so it’s displayed as a whole number or to 3 significant numbers otherwise. And then when you click on it to see more details it shows full precision
We’re implementing a small fix that’ll allow you round your number of shares. Actually it’s already implemented in the web app. And coming for mobile in one of the following releases.
When placing an order you will be able to input a number with high precision if that number + the number you already sums up to a whole number.
Example: You own 5.3456789 shares. You will be able to buy N + 0.6543211 shares or sell N + 0.3456789 shares.
Of course if you use pies you’ll have to get used to the long numbers
