Entry

The price at which you opened the trade.

Definition

The entry is where your trade began — the price you got in at. Together with the exit and side, it determines whether the trade made or lost money. Reviewing entries helps you see whether you tend to get in too early or too late.

Example

You buy at an entry of 1.1000. Everything after that is measured against this starting price.
