It would be great to have a market order function in the bot.

As it seems that limit orders rarley get filled, and if they get filled it is to late.
and at this moment only a few exchanges have free limit orders. most of them have a fee for all of them, so there is no real good reason to use limit orders on those exchanges.

i looked to update this myself. but i think it will quite a change as zenbot also checks if the limit order is filled or not. not sure how that will work with market orders.

I think this could solve the low performance on real trading comparing with simulations. Since using short periods the orders sometimes take several minutes and we lose the profit window.

Thinking perhaps short-term this could be a user-configurable setting. Long term we will want to have the bot decide what is smart.
