Entry bar moving when another order is entered?

[Carlito178]

Good morning, I have a question about something I have noticed before. So I've done a practice test to show you guys



My original entry was 11138.50 ( BUY LIMIT ORDER)

The second entry was placed at 11146.25 ( ANOTHER BUY LIMIT ORDER)

The entry bar moves from 11138.50 to 11142.50 when the second order gets entered.


Does anybody know why the entry bar moves?

Hello Carlito178,

Thank you for your note.

The entry bar displays your average entry price. As you scale in and/or out of a position, the bar may move as it recalculates the average price across all of your entries based on the price and quantity of your orders. For more information, please see the following section of the help guide:
