As a trader, what are the advantages of using limit orders, and why do I use them so much in my trading? Let’s talk about that and more right now.

Hey traders, it’s Andrew Mitchem here at the First Trading Coach with video and podcast number 463.

I love trading with Limit Orders

Now I make no secret about it. I love using limit orders. I’ve used them for years and years. Been trading for 18 years, and probably around the last 15 years, ever since I discovered the power of using limit orders and how to use them properly within our strategy, they have made a massive, massive difference to my trading results. One of the reasons why I like using them is because you will pretty much always get a higher reward to risk than you would by entering, let’s say, at the market or a stop order. And I’ll explain with some examples shortly.

They help to remove the emotion from my trading

But I also like them because it helps take the emotion out of my trading, because I trade on the close of a candle. If I’m not there at exactly the close, it doesn’t matter, because on my trades, I’m looking for, let’s say, on a buy trade, I’m using a buy limit. So that means I’m buying when the price first drops. So if I’m not there, panicking and stressing about taking a market order and working out my correct position size and where my stop loss needs to be, and oh no, the market’s moved up, and I’ve missed out. I don’t do any of that because I see the setup, and then I can quite easily analyse where my entry using my buy limit needs to be, and my stop, my profit, work out the stop loss size, work out my position size, and it all takes literally… I use a script that does it all for me. But you can even manually do that in about 30 seconds.
