Hi all,

How many of you go to market when placing an order?

I have found problems with using limit orders and I just want to know what people thinking of jumping straight to market when you want to be in.

Cheers

I use limit orders at the current bid/offer usually.

I sometimes have orders in the market at certain S/R levels that may be there for hours. But usually when I make a decision to "get in", I immediately just do a buy limit @ offer.

I always use limit because I feel like I'm chasing if I go market.
