The minimum order size for any stock or ETF purchase on M1 is $1.00. This requirement helps keep costs low and allows M1 to offer affordable fractional investing.
If a buy order or auto-invest setting attempts to place an order for less than $1.00, the order will not be executed. The cash will remain in your Invest account until it meets the minimum order threshold.
Excluded buys
Excluded buys occur when an attempted order does not meet the $1.00 minimum. To ensure your investments are processed:
Check that every buy order or portfolio Slice receives more than $1.00.
Orders over $1.00 will be executed if sufficient cash is available in your account.
Orders under $1.00 will be skipped and appear as “excluded.”
Tip: Review your portfolio allocations if you frequently see excluded buys. Adjusting your percentages or deposits may reduce occurrences.
