As per title, to date I have been purchasing shares "at market rate" through my broker, TD Direct. I dont have level 2 or any of that, Stockopedia is my only subscription, only a couple years into investing and a smallish portfolio.

Is this best practice, or am i likley to be done over and been getting a poor buy price? Is it better to have a limit order a little below the current price, or would this likley just not get filled? As I understand level 2 shows you the whole market and that some people may actually be willing to sell/ buy higher/lower than the price I get "at market" through TD direct?

Or am I just over thinking this....?

many thanks.
