When I buy (or try to buy) ETF shares in my brokerage account, I usually use the "Limit" method and put a price that I am willing to pay, usually a few cents higher than the closing price that day. I am usually doing this at night; too busy during the day. Sometimes I get the shares and sometimes I don't.
Mutual funds are easier: "invest this many dollars". You get however many shares that buys.
Should I be doing something differently? For example, the "Market" method? I'm worried I'll end up buying shares at much higher price than I intended. Maybe that's a silly worry, and prices don't change that dramatically during one day?
