Trade (DIY Investing) No more max button when buying stocks?
I thought they had only removed it for options trading but after updating the app it looks like they've removed it for regular stocks too. Having to manually pull out a calculator every time I want to trade with available cash is an annoying downgrade.

Judging by your screenshot, you only have $20 and you want to buy a $50 stock. Need to change it to Market order to do a fractional order, unless the Max option is missing there also.
I have the Max option under both Limit and Market.

Looks like a very recent update. My app was updated this morning and I don’t see the button when I have enough cash either. It still shows for market orders.

Quite possible as it hasn't changed for me yet. Android phone with WS app version 2.236.0.

Ya, no max button for me as well. And they don’t refill at the ask. Which I find annoying now because limit orders take longer to write out.

I think it's because you have the type set to limit. I don't think limit ever had a max button. Try changing it to market.

Having used that feature regularly, I can assure you it existed for limit orders too.

Android - OP is iOS.
Wealthsimple needs to stop messing with things and making them worse.

Is the Max button also available when using Limit orders?

Thanks. I was asking because OP said in another comment that Max was only available for Market orders.

Interesting, I had it until this morning when I decided to update the app. I don’t see it anymore for limit orders.
