All-in, all-out. Normal order type for entry is either stop or MIT. For exit, normal is market. But if me and my stuff are in sync as expected, limits. These are sometimes reverse rather than just exit. Price bar ends (H&L) means something to my work, and limit orders are restrictive in that way. Missing out due to a limit is just not worth it! You've experienced the same!!! But limit absolutely has a place. The only time I truly care about capturing a tick or two is an attempt to exit at NET breakeven... I roll the dice so to speak... I'll get the net breakeven or take only minor ding(in most cases). Profits take care of themselves.... I don't care if a particular trade produces whole milk or skim, as long as I adhere to the signals.
