I NEVER use market orders, but set limit orders at the LOWEST I'm willing to sell for, This is essentially the same as a market order with a bottom stop. It will execute at market, but not below my cutoff. I do this too, but there's one caveat: true market orders stand in line before limit orders, and in a fast-moving market I've missed a fill because there were enough market orders ahead of me to drive the price past my limit. Had I placed market orders they would have filled. Fund
