Monday 11/8 Market Open

Good Morning!
7:48 pst

OK, Market opened and my Market orders were executed.

IPXL - Executed at $11.20/share, + .03 Above Market close on 11/5.
Price is steadily climbing and is now at $11.60. Looking good so far.

DITC - Executed at $17.43/share, + .23 Above Market close on 11/5.
Opened higher than previous close then dropped to about $17.25. Now at $17.46.

Order was executed a bit higher than I was expecting but with Market orders it is bought at the current asking rate when executed.

Im thinking about placing limit orders in the future to avoid paying a higher price if the stock shoots up at market open.
