Coreopsis | What is Entry Upper and Entry Lower ?

Entry Lower and Entry Upper are simply the bounds of the recommended entry zone on Day 1 (after 12:00 PM ET through the close).

  • Entry Lower = the lower price of the entry band
  • Entry Upper = the upper price of the entry band

If price trades anywhere inside that band during the entry window, the setup is considered “in zone.” If price never touches the band, it’s a NO ENTRY day for that ticker.

How to use them

practically, with Reward vs. Risk (R:R)
  • Best fills are context-dependent, but a good default:
    • For LONG setups: prefer entries closer to Entry Lower (better R:R, tighter invalidation).
    • For SHORT setups: prefer entries closer to Entry Upper (better R:R for shorts, tighter invalidation).
  • If price is above Entry Upper (LONG) or below Entry Lower (SHORT), you’re no longer entering the plan—you’re chasing.

Why it’s a band, not a single price

Markets don’t give perfect fills. The band accounts for:

  • intraday noise and spread,
  • small differences between the open/morning trend and noon conditions,
  • realistic execution without requiring a “magic” exact number.

What changes when your fill is inside the band

Where you enter inside the zone affects risk:

  • Entering at the “better” side of the band usually allows a tighter stop and improves R:R.
  • Entering at the “worse” side may require a bit more room (and the Follow Up widget can adjust protections once you have the exact fill).
