Half a decade ago I researched starting a fractional trading platform, and I gave up on the idea because I decided it was illegal.

Now in this thread people are saying multiple such platforms exist. Did I make a mistake or get something wrong? Or are they applying some kind of workaround? I can't remember why I thought it wasn't allowed.

> I decided it was illegal.

how did you somehow decide (unilaterally) it is illegal?

When you are alone, then any decision you make is unilateral. Making a decision is quite easy, you just gather information until you feel your argument is well supported, and then you assume your theory is correct and act accordingly.
