Entry
The point at which a valid thesis is converted into a position, ideally after the market has provided enough evidence while risk remains acceptable relative to the wrong point.
Full Explanation
An entry is execution, not the thesis itself. The trade should already have context, a tradeable structure, and a mechanical wrong point before the entry is chosen. The purpose of entry timing is to participate when the evidence is sufficient without placing the stop or position size in conflict with the structure.
The lower timeframe can help refine that timing by showing whether local behavior is supporting the TTF thesis. But a precise LTF signal cannot rescue an unclear TTF structure. Better timing on a bad idea is still a bad trade.
There is no perfect entry that removes uncertainty. Waiting for more confirmation usually means accepting a worse price; entering earlier offers a better price with less evidence. The framework treats entry as a tradeoff to manage after the thesis exists, not as a pattern that magically predicts the move.
