Fractional Shares

Invest your preferred amounts using IBKR’s Fractional Shares trading permission. This means you can allocate a portion of available funds across shares whose price is already high.

I checked the option (global Trade In fractions but it still says you have to activate trade in fractions )

Nice. Can you tell me how much of commission/platform fee + any other fees incurred if I buy fractional shares of USD20 Apple share ?

My question is, does this has to be turned on for dividend to buy a fractional shares....because my IBKR account doesn't show fractional shares, and it should since i have dividends coming every week

Hello, I have Fractional trading ENABLED and also trading in UK, where I want to buy CSPX. But when I want to click Cost impact, it says "Failed to display document: Invalid Quantity. This account does not support cash quantity orders that will result in less than one share. Please either activate Fractional Quantity in Client Portal or increase order size." When I try to buy, it does nothing.

I had this video on loop to follow it step by step. I had already obtained permission for fractional share trading. However, both cash and share orders were rejected stating I did not have enough in my account and with a notification stating I should have a few thousand in my account. Isn't the point of fractional trading that a client can buy a small amount according to their balance?

Can I use fractional share with a cash account or is this only a marginal account benefit?

I have ISA account and there is no option to select fractional shares.
