Not on any stock market I’ve ever heard of. Some stock markets
have shares that trade in fixed “lots” (10, 100 or 1000 shares at a time), others
have standard lots but also allow “odd-lot” trading too, and other markets allow
you to trade in single shares.
You should discuss this with your broker to determine which
market(s) have the above rules.
Note: Historical corporate actions such as stock splits may affect
the historical lot sizes. For a super-accurate backtest you will probably want
to use the original trading price of the security to determine the lot size.

Is it possible that when I buy stocks I can buy
a fractionally quantity
of shares (for example 90,67 shares)?
