[July 2024 Update] So far, only 3 people have participated, which means the $300 bonus is about to be split among just three people. If you opened a new account, don’t forget to take a screenshot and join. Moomoo and this site are now running a special promotion: eligible users can try fractional-share trading, then leave a comment and screenshot under this post to share a total of $300 in rewards. Eligible users must meet the following requirements:

  • New users who registered through this site’s link after May 11, 2024 (Moomoo sign-up link)
  • Use the Moomoo platform to buy a fractional share of any stock listed on the US market (for example, 0.1 share)
  • Post a screenshot of the completed stock purchase in the comments section of this article (even better if you also share why you bought it)
  • Fill out the form below: Fractional Share Promotion Form

In addition, if the number of eligible new users exceeds 15, this site will add more rewards so that every successful participant receives at least $20 in extra rewards. Of course, if fewer than 15 people participate—for example, if there is only 1 person—then that person will receive the full $300 reward. The extra reward will be sent by Amazon gift card to your email, so please make sure to enter the correct email address in the form. Your Moomoo ID is used only to verify your registration date and will not be retained or recorded.

  • The tentative deadline for this promotion is July 8, 2024

About Moomoo

Moomoo is an investing app launched by Futu in the US. Its brokerage entity is Futu Inc., a properly licensed US broker-dealer and a member of SIPC and FINRA. In addition to commission-free stock trading, Moomoo also provides free Level 2 market data. My personal experience with it has been very good: it has plenty of advanced features, a user-friendly interface, and of course the Chinese interface feels especially approachable.

Moomoo has now updated its account-opening bonus, and the popular 15 free stocks + 8.1% APY offer is back. Deposit $1,000 and get 15 free stocks, plus 8.1% APY on uninvested cash for the first 3 months (then 5%). You can also join this site’s exclusive fractional-share promotion mentioned at the beginning of this article and share $300 in rewards.

About Fractional Shares

What if you want to buy shares of US companies like Apple or Tesla, but do not have enough money? A single share can cost hundreds of dollars, so if you just want to test the waters, buying 1 full share can feel expensive and frustrating if it drops. Fortunately, many platforms now offer fractional-share trading, which lets you buy fractional shares of these US companies with as little as $5. Fractional shares mean you do not have to buy whole shares—you can buy 0.1 or 0.2 share, and the platform handles the execution for you. For example:

  1. Fractional shares make it easier to invest with a smaller starting amount, giving individual investors access to stocks that may otherwise be expensive. For example, as of January 30, 2024, NVDA closed at $627.74 per share. If you had only $100 that day, you could buy 0.16 share of NVDA.
  2. Fractional shares also make it easier to build a more diversified portfolio with less capital. For example, you could split $100 into four equal parts and buy 0.13 share of AAPL, 0.15 share of AMZN, 0.06 share of MSFT, and 0.13 share of TSLA to create your own portfolio. (This example is based on the closing prices as of January 30, 2024: AAPL at $188.04, AMZN at $159.00, MSFT at $408.59, and TSLA at $191.59.)

Many platforms support fractional-share trading, including:

How to Trade Fractional Shares on Moomoo

Below, we’ll use the Moomoo app as an example to show the steps for trading fractional shares.

  • Open the app and go to Market - US Stocks - Fractional Shares to find all stocks that support fractional-share trading
  • You can filter and sort this list by price, market cap, and other criteria
  • Once inside, during trading hours, simply enter a share quantity with decimals to trade fractional shares
  • You can also look for the fractional-share icon on any stock detail page (if available), then enter a decimal quantity to trade

Things to Know

Here again, we’ll use trading fractional shares on Moomoo as the example, but other platforms are generally similar.

  1. Some trading sessions run from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm Eastern Time, or from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm Eastern Time on half trading days.
  2. The minimum buy order for some trades is 0.0001 share or $5. Sell orders must be at least $0.01. Orders that do not meet the minimum order amount will be rejected.
  3. Only day orders are supported. Conditional orders and short selling are not allowed.
  4. Some securities may not be eligible for fractional-share trading. Moomoo reserves the right to change the list of eligible securities at any time without notice.
  5. Please read and understand the important considerations identified by the US Securities and Exchange Commission when choosing to trade fractional shares:
