How Much Am I Charged for a Partial Fill and How To Avoid Partial Executions
Last month I was selling 1000 shares of a stock and I got a trade notification for a measly 20 shares. This is known as a partial fill.

Find out how much commissions you can expect to be charged on a partial fill, and what you can do to avoid partial executions and paying extra commissions.
