Market vs Limit Order

Market vs Limit Order
Market orders are generally favored over limit orders, as it is preferable to sacrifice a few ticks to secure entry rather than miss an entire trade by waiting for a perfect fill. As long as the setup provides at least 2R to the target, a market order is the preferred choice.

The scenario where a market order will not be taken is when the setup does not provide at least 2R to the target. As shown below, a market order entry on the formation of the opposing candles does not reach 2R. In this case, a limit order is used instead, with the target and stop loss predefined and adjusted until the setup meets the 2R requirement.
