An Entry Order is one that is used to enter a trade at a specified price level. If the currency pair never reaches that price level then the entry order is not executed. This can be beneficial because it allows you to set your desired buy or sell price and not worry about whether or not the market will reach that point. Entry orders are also known as limit orders because they are placed with specific limits in terms of both time and price.Enter a trade at a specified level and watch the price level of the currency pair move towards that entry level. The currency pair never reaches the entry level but it does close below it for a small portion of the day. This small move is called a stair step movement or a stair step or small step. There are also traders who use this as a trading strategy by entering at one point and immediately closing the trade to take profits at another point.Some traders choose to place an entry order before the currency pair reaches a specified price level. This is done so that a trade can be initiated at the specified price level. If the currency pair never reaches this specified price level then the trade is not executed.
