Bunching

What Does Bunching Mean?
The combining of odd-lot or round-lot orders for the same security so that they may be executed at the same time.

Investopedia explains Bunching
Brokers cannot bunch orders together unless all the affected investors have agreed. The advantage of bunching is that brokers can save clients who have issued small orders from additional fees by combining orders so that they form a round-lot.
