Newbie buying AAPL for the first time - any reason I should select anything other than Market Order?

If you’re putting order in when market closed, never do a market order because there are too many price swings on off hours and when market first opens. I always do limit orders... or wait and look at what it’s doing during the day and do a market order if it seems to be behaving reasonably smoothly.

As a newbie, trade while market is open + go with market orders until you understand limit / stop loss / other order types a little better - they’re the 20% extra but you need to get the first 80% in order

If you simply want to buy a stock, the market order will do that. If entry point is important, then a limit order. The question, of course, is how to determine the entry point? Indicators like RSI and MACD may be useful for a particular stock but context - market direction or sector sentiment may be quite influential and move the price of a particular stock.
