The entry is the last number you plan

Olympia publishes educational content for learning purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Nothing here is investment advice.
By this point four numbers already exist: your R, your target, your stop and your share count. There's only one left. And Olympia doesn't hand you a single price for it — it draws a band, because a plan that needs one exact penny isn't a plan at all.
The lesson in writing
Every one of these begins life with the last moment. The start is the last thing you want to plan.
What it is
By this time four numbers already exist: your R, your target, your stop and your share count. There's only one number left — the entry.
Entry, stop, target: all three decided before you click anything. The click is the end of the plan, not the beginning.
How it's worked out
In Olympia it doesn't hand you a single price for the entry. It draws a band — one of the stock's own normal moves either side of the middle.
That is deliberate. A plan that needs one exact penny isn't a plan at all; a zone is something a real fill can actually land inside.
Where Olympia calculates it
It sits on the plan card as the entry zone, with today's price marked inside it or outside it — so you can see at a glance whether the plan has already started without you.
The band is drawn one of the stock's own ranges either side of today's centre, on the clock the signal itself runs on, which is why it is wider on a wild name than on a calm one.
