Close entries, resting limits, and plans that never fill

Short answer

Most plans enter at the price the chart was analyzed at. In a small set of measured cells — particular combinations of pattern, market and timeframe — the entry is a resting limit at the edge of the pattern’s zone instead. A limit that never fills is recorded as exactly that: no trade, no loss.

Steps

  1. 1
    Read the entry row
    “Entry” means the plan enters at the analyzed close. “Entry · resting limit” means the plan waits: the entry is a limit order resting at the band shown beside it.
  2. 2
    Read the band
    “Into” names where a resting limit sits. “Entry zone” on a close-mode read is different — it is where the pattern would rather enter, shown for honesty but not executed, because the evidence has not cleared waiting there.
  3. 3
    After you log a take
    A resting limit logs as “Resting limit” in your journal. It either fills within the window and resolves like any trade, or expires “Never filled” — no R is booked and nothing about it enters any statistic.
  4. 4
    Why only some markets wait
    Each waiting cell cleared pre-registered replay criteria on held-out data before it shipped, and the set is re-fitted whenever the evidence corpus grows. Everywhere the evidence has not cleared, the entry stays at the close. The entry row on your own read is what tells you which of the two you have — it is computed from that plan’s cell, not from a list you have to remember.

Worth knowing

  • The limit rests for eight bars of the plan’s own timeframe. If price never returns to it, the plan expires rather than chasing — an entry taken late at a worse price is a different trade than the one that was graded.
  • ORIN never places orders. A resting limit here is a plan for the order you place on your broker, and your broker’s fill can differ from the simulated one.
  • Decision support, not advice: the entry mode is a deterministic property of the setup’s cell, not a recommendation to transact.
