limit orders are more or less dead, so forget em and adapt and evolve.
now i use mit orders exclusively, usually with positive skid on both sides.
mit's have the effect of a limit order, but get you filled around your target
price if you're clever enough.
there are two main components of successful trading; one is good research
of your method/system, and the second is proper execution of orders. in
the final analysis, execution is paramount to success.
