Create individual/manual orders | M1 Help Center (2024)

In addition to auto-investing, M1 clients have the flexibility to make individual buy and sell orders on any Slice in their portfolio.

To place an order:

When a buy order is placed, M1 will purchase the specified dollar amount of the selected Slice.

To place a buy order, you must have available cash in your account. M1 will not withdraw money from your bank account to complete a trade.

Available cash includes:

If the available cash is less than the buy order(s), M1 will prorate the requested buy(s).

Example: Jenny places a $100 buy order for Stock A. Jenny (if she has the funds available) will purchase $100 of Stock A during the next trade window.

When a sell order is placed, M1 will sell the specified dollar amount of the selected Slice.

Money from a sell order can be:

Example: Jenny places a $100 sell order for Stock B. Jenny (if the Slice has enough value) will sell $100 of Stock B during the next trade window.

No, you can’t make individual buy/sell orders and rebalance requests during the same trade window.
