In the Orders & Trades section, three rows appear even though the three correspond to the same order. I imagine the maximum number of shares allowed per row is 50, and I bought 100.1662 shares. In other words, the system shows three trades but they correspond to the same order I made today as a single order:

Three trades corresponding to the same order.
