Yes, entries can be difficult, particularly for short or very short term positions or scalping positions, where the exact timing of the entry is most important.
Generally I find that my best entries begin to work (almost) straight away, and I am (almost) never under any pressure.
A friend had a 'three bar rule', where the stock had to respond, or initiate for the entry, within three bars or he would reassess the position, or sell.
I am not that harsh, but I have noticed that best entries begin to work almost straight away.
I like to trade springs and upthrusts, breakouts and breakdown most of all for shorter term positions, I'll have a look around and see if I can find some examples.
Sometimes I am happy to buy at the bottom of a range, to keep the risk at its lowest, and at others I wait until there is a bar which is standing 'tall and proud'.
cheers
