Then try and figure out how you would know if a limit order filled or not. In theory you will never know, unless the bid/ask crosses the threshold of your limit - but in that case the limit order will fill exactly the same as a market order - so there is no reason to use a limit order. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
