Entry Block
Convert your strategy setup into an actual long or short trade.
The Entry Block is where everything comes together. All the indicators, conditions, and logic you've built funnel into this block, which places the actual trade. It converts your setup into a real market order — either going long (buying) or going short (selling).
Why It Matters
Without an Entry Block, your strategy detects setups but never acts on them. This is the action block that bridges analysis and execution. Every strategy needs at least one Entry Block.
How to Use It
- 1Connect all your conditions and logic to the Entry Block's input
- 2Set the direction — Auto, Bullish (Long), or Bearish (Short)
- 3Connect Risk Management blocks (Stop Loss, Take Profit, Position Sizing) to the Entry Block
- 4The Entry Block will execute a trade whenever it receives a valid signal
Settings Explained
Direction — Controls which side of the market the entry takes:
- Auto — The entry direction is determined automatically based on the connected signal. If the signal comes from a bullish indicator or condition, it enters long. If bearish, it enters short. This is the most common and recommended setting
- Bullish (Long) — Always enters a long (buy) position regardless of signal direction. Use this when you want a strategy that only buys
- Bearish (Short) — Always enters a short (sell) position regardless of signal direction. Use this when you want a strategy that only shorts
Example Use Case
You've built a strategy with a Supertrend trend filter, an RSI oversold condition, and a bullish candlestick pattern. All three connect to an AND Gate, which connects to the Entry Block set to 'Auto.' When all conditions align in a bullish context, the Entry Block places a long trade. When they align bearish, it places a short trade.
Use 'Auto' direction unless you have a specific reason to force one direction. Auto mode lets your strategy adapt to both bullish and bearish opportunities using the same logic.
