Do you buy market or fixed price

I always use limit orders. Market orders have a habit of getting bad fills for me. The HFT ripoff is not news to anyone who reads Zerohedge regularly, they have been talking about it for 5 years. It is not enough to stop trading over, but it is enough to kill day trading. 30 years ago retail traders paid higher fees, commissions, and slippage in the open outcry markets and it didn't stop trading.

A limit order can still get clipped by HFT and dark pool operations.
