Entry Price
The entry price is the cost at which an investor initially buys or sells an asset to open a position. It is the benchmark against which future profit or loss is calculated.
Understanding the entry price is vital for determining where to place stop-loss orders and take-profit targets. It effectively sets the foundation for the entire duration of the trade.
