How to use fractional share trading through <..>?

 

I just opened a demo account with <..>, which Metatrader partnered with in September to provide fractional shares trading. How does it work though? How would someone make a purchase for a fractional share either manually or through MQL5?

Thanks!

 
Isn't it explained on the broker's website?

I'm not talking about the broker though. The Metatrader website made a post about offering fractional shares and I'm asking how to start trading fractional shares.

No, I just sent them an email though. But I feel like they'll think its not their job to give general Metatrader support.

This would not be Metatrader support, you, as a trader are not a customer of  Metatrader . The broker is  Metatrader 's customer, you are the broker's customer.

If the broker offers fractional shares, they should explain the details to their customers.

This is for brokers: https://www.metatrader5.com/en/news/2155
(if you are the broker with MT5 so you may have this possibility).

You should find the broker which is using/proposing it, and ask this broker directly about it.

Ok thank you, I wasn't aware of your business model.

Do you know where I could find a list of brokers that offer fractional trading through MT5? I found one broker but I'd like to know about others if they exist. Providing a list of brokers and their attributes could help direct traders to your customers.

MetaQuotes is not providing any list of the brokers.
As to me (I am public moderator) - I provided my list of the brokers on this page: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/353226/page3
You can make your own list of the brokers and share it with everybody (in the same way as I did).
