Market vs. limit orders
Once you find one paper, it's easy to find several more. Here are a few links: http://www.sec.gov/rules/other/3437302.shtml http://www.nyse.com/about/NT0001875A.html http://www.olin.wustl.edu/faculty/li...mit_Market.pdf The rough consensus of the papers I've found is that on average, you get better execution with limit orders than with market orders. However, there are exceptions (in particular, if you are trading on very short horizon information), and there are possible weaknesses to each study, which I'm guessing eLROY can elaborate on. |
