All examples above are for informational purposes and should not be considered an offer to buy or sell certain securities. M1 does not provide investment advice.  

  

Are the same stocks allowed in different Pies? 

Every Pie is independent, so the same stock can be held in two different Pies.  

During a trade window, if the M1 trading algorithm indicates buying "Stock A" in one Pie and selling "Stock A" in another, the orders would be internally netted first and only the net amount would be executed.  

M1 will never buy and sell the same security on the same day.
