The new restrictions, which are compound limits for each security and not per order, include shares and option contracts that an investor already holds. These limits can be changed throughout the day.

Robninhood notes that investors who already own a larger number of shares or contracts than the limits above will not sell or close their positions. However, they will not be able to open any more positions of the securities unless they sell enough of their shares to be below the respective limit.

Investors will also not be able to open new fractional shares, but will be able to open new positions of whole shares according to the limits. Recurring investments for the listed bonds will also be skipped until the restrictions are lifted.
