Alpaca Launches Fractional Trading Feature

Alpaca's trading APIs now support fractional trading, allowing investments with as little as $1 in stock.

Traders can buy fractional shares through an API request by passing notional value or fractional quantity.

Fractional API provides a compliant architecture, maintaining speed and reliability for orders.

Over time, Alpaca plans to include more order types and expand the list of fractional tradable shares.

The feature is available for both paper trading and live accounts, with updated documentation and tutorials.
