When you're watching price movements, it's easy to get caught up in the moment and make rushed decisions. Limit orders change that equation entirely. You set your target price once—whether it's a buy or sell level—and just walk away. The order executes automatically the moment conditions align, no stress, no screen-watching needed.
Think of it as letting your strategy work for you instead of your emotions working against you. Set it, forget it, and let the market come to your price. That's how disciplined traders stack wins.

Sounds right, but can we really "forget it"? I, for one, can't.

That's right, limit orders are my lifesaver, or I would have been ruined by my own speed long ago.

Limit orders are truly a savior for the lazy; once set, you can go to sleep.

Well said, limit orders are indeed a must-have for lazy people, but it's easy to forget the orders you've placed...

It sounds good, but in practice, it's easy to mess up. I'm a typical example of getting itchy after placing an order.

yeah limit orders are literally just setting your recipe and letting it simmer... no need to hover over the stove like some anxious degen. market comes to you instead of you chasing it, that's the actual seasoning that separates the cooks from the kitchen disasters 🍳

Limit orders are really a lifesaver. I've lost money so many times just because I was staring at the screen so intently that I went brain dead.

Limit orders, I've really lost track of how many times they've saved me... Just set it to execute automatically without watching the market, and I end up making more profit.

Stop-loss orders have really saved me several times; otherwise, I would have been shaken out long ago.
Precision beats impulse every time.
