24-Hour / Overnight trading
These brokers run an overnight session: Charles Schwab (thinkorswim), Interactive Brokers, Robinhood, E*TRADE (Morgan Stanley), Webull, Moomoo, Firstrade. Each publishes its own list of symbols admitted to that session, and those lists are typically limited to large-cap index members. We do not track them per symbol, so check whether HIXis on your broker’s list before planning an overnight order.
Overnight sessions route through ATSs, typically have wider spreads, accept limit orders only, and offer no guaranteed fills.
Penny stock / OTC routing
HIX trades on the OTC markets. Broker support varies sharply by tier (OTCQX, OTCQB, Pink Current, Pink Limited, Grey). Fidelity and Robinhood exclude pink/grey entirely. For short-locate on small-caps, Interactive Brokers and the day-trader specialists (Cobra Trading, SpeedTrader, CenterPoint) have the deepest inventory.

Frequently asked
Where can I buy Western Asset High Income Fund II, Inc. (HIX)?
HIX is offered by 15 brokers in our matrix, including Firstrade, Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, Charles Schwab (thinkorswim), E*TRADE (Morgan Stanley). Compare commissions, fractional eligibility, and overnight availability in the broker matrix above.
Can I buy HIX after hours or overnight?
Most brokers in the matrix support pre-market (4 AM–9:30 AM ET) and after-hours (4–8 PM ET) sessions. A true overnight session is offered by Charles Schwab (thinkorswim), Interactive Brokers, Robinhood, E*TRADE (Morgan Stanley), and others, but each admits only its own list of symbols — usually large-cap index members — so confirm HIX is eligible with your broker. Overnight sessions route through ATSs with wider spreads and limit orders only.
Does Robinhood offer HIX?
No. Robinhood does not provide access to the OTC tier HIX trades on. Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, and Firstrade have the broadest OTC coverage.
Does Fidelity offer HIX?
Partial. Fidelity's OTC access is tier-limited — see the OTC columns in the matrix to check whether HIX's specific tier is supported.
Does Webull offer HIX?
Partial. Webull's OTC access is tier-limited — see the OTC columns in the matrix to check whether HIX's specific tier is supported.
Is HIX optionable?
No. HIX does not have listed options contracts at the moment.
Is there a tokenized version of HIX?
Not in our current dataset. The tokenized stock universe (Kraken xStocks, Binance Alpha/Ondo, Robinhood EU, Hyperliquid HIP-3) is expanding quickly — we refresh quarterly.
Can I buy a fractional share of HIX?
9 brokers in the matrix offer fractional shares, but each restricts the feature to its own symbol universe — Schwab to the S&P 500, Robinhood to stocks above a market-cap floor, Fidelity to a 7,000-name list. Check the Fractional column above for each broker's scope and minimum, then confirm HIX qualifies.
