Not necessarily imho.
When riding the gold bull place your buy orders very first thing in the morning as a general rule, if things are going up and you want to get on. Chances are pretty good they will only be higher by the end of the day. Market orders, yes probably, but maybe not always. Depends on how bad you want the stuff.
During little countertrend moves like we have recently been experiencing, investigate and try to decide where the move is at, just using TA. Like today, limit orders would have worked on a lot of stocks fairly well.
Is that goat related to Frank?
