Hi, sorry if this has been answered before. I’m having issues having certains stocks to a pie.

I have a pie of Reit shares and am attempting to add EPIC. I can search for the stock as an individual share but when I try to add a slice it doesn’t appear in the search. Is there certain rules that govern pie shares?

Reading on it appears that it could be because EPIC is not a fractional share? I didn’t realise that not all shares are fractional.

Under settings\>Trade preferences you have option to enable Fractionals share indicator. So you can distinguish easily if stock is fractional or not.

Also yes, pie supports only fractional shares.
