What’s your experience with Market Orders?

I’ve been trading for a little while now and keep hearing mixed opinions about using market orders. On one hand, I love the idea of getting in or out of a position instantly, especially when the market is volatile. But then I read about slippage and how prices can change so quickly, which honestly freaks me out a bit.

I’d love to hear what you all think. Do you primarily use market orders, or do you have a preference for limit orders? Any horror stories or success tales would be great to hear! Sometimes I feel like I’m overthinking this, but I just want to make the right calls when trading. What’s your go-to strategy?
