Explain an entry

Your objective in this practice

Describe the information visible when you decide. Distinguish observation, interpretation and later outcomes.

Recommended preparation: M04 · From an order to a position →

Before, during and after

1. Before submitting, record what you see, what you infer and which order type would express that hypothetical intention.
2. Check direction, quantity and position state. Separate submission from execution.
3. Keep a note written before the outcome. You may finish observing if you cannot explain a decision.

What to keep

A prior observation, the reason for the order and actual order and position states.

Review questions

Does your explanation use only visible information? Did the order fill? Did you confuse expected and filled prices?
