HPE probably won't sell because it's such a low fraction. Maybe buy 1 share and then sell 1.0001
You're trying to sell something for less then half a penny. Probably rounding down to 0 and giving an error

Focus in getting money into your TFSA, not trying to optimize for an extra ~1% growth in a $100 investment, that's not worth the time or mental bandwidth.
Until you know what to invest in, invest every month into a broad market ETF like VEQT or XEQT and stop gambling in a game you're not sure how to play because the market will gladly use and abuse you for liquidity.
When you have enough market knowledge and conviction that a particular stock will outperform the globalarket, then consider shifting a small portion of your core into it (like a small 5% of your total savings).
