Limit trade vs market trade
75% of my ES trades( I trade 200-300 contracts per block allocation trade for my clients) are market orders, other 25% are stop limit and market A market order is centered around completing an order at the fastest speed. A limit order is concerned with ensuring that price considerations are met before a trade is executed. Market orders Market orders allow you to trade the stock for the going price, while limit orders allow you to specify the price you want, though the order may not fill.
