Terminal interface overview

The Entry Finance terminal is organized around one main workflow: choose a market, read the chart, place an order, and manage the position without leaving the screen.

​

The main areas of the terminal

In the default trading layout, you will usually work with five areas:

1. The top navigation bar
2. The market header
3. The chart and chart tools
4. The trade panel on the right
5. The bottom activity panel for balances, positions, orders, and history

These areas are connected. When you change the selected market, the chart, trade widget, and bottom panel all update around that market.

​

Top navigation bar

The top bar is the terminal-level navigation. It is always visible and helps you understand where you are in the product. In the current Entry Finance interface, this bar includes:

• trade: the active trading terminal
• portfolio: a wider account view with equity, PnL, and open positions
• rewards: rewards-related area
• spend: spending-related area
• Account Value, Overall P&L, and 24H Change: a fast summary of account performance

​

Market selector and market stats

The top-left section above the chart is where you choose what to trade. You can click the current pair, such as BTC-USDC, to open the market list. The market picker includes:

• a search bar for perpetual assets
• tabs such as Spot and Perpetuals
• exchange or source filters
• market rows with Price, 24h Change, 24h Volume, 8h Funding, and Open Interest

This is more than a simple list of coins. It helps traders compare markets before entering them. Once a market is selected, the header next to it shows key live data:

• current price
• daily percentage move
• Mark Price
• Oracle Price
• 24H Volume
• Open Interest
• Funding Rate
• Next Funding

​

Chart area

The chart is the center of the terminal and the main area for reading price action. In Entry Finance, the chart area includes:

• timeframe shortcuts such as 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, and D
• a timeframe dropdown for more intervals
• chart type selector
• Indicators
• TradingView drawing and annotation tools on the left
• the live price scale on the right side of the chart

This is where traders decide whether a setup is worth taking.

​

Timeframe selector

The timeframe buttons change how much price detail you are looking at. Shorter intervals such as 1m and 5m are more useful for execution and fast trading. Higher intervals such as 1h and 1D are better for broader market structure.

• use 1h or 15m to understand the broader direction
• use 5m or 1m only for fine-tuning entry timing

Experienced traders often combine them. They may find direction on a higher timeframe and execute on a lower one.

​

Chart type selector

The chart type menu lets you switch between visual styles such as candles, bars, line, area, and Heikin Ashi. For most traders, Candles will be the default and most useful view because it shows open, high, low, and close clearly. Other views are useful in specific cases:

• Line is cleaner if you only want to follow broad direction
• Heikin Ashi can make trends easier to read, but it smooths real price action
• Bars and Hollow Candles are preferred by some more experienced chart readers

​

Indicators

The Indicators menu opens the TradingView indicator library. This is where traders add tools such as moving averages, RSI, VWAP, or volatility-based studies. For beginners, indicators should support the chart, not replace it. Too many indicators usually make decisions worse, not better. For experienced users, this menu matters because it lets them adapt the chart to their process without leaving the terminal.

​

Drawing tools

The left-side toolbar contains drawing tools from TradingView. These are useful for:

• trend lines
• support and resistance zones
• horizontal levels
• measurement tools
• annotations

​

Position markers directly on the chart

One of the most practical parts of the Entry Finance interface is that your live position and attached exit levels are visible directly on the chart. When you have an open trade, you can see markers such as:

• the position label, for example Long
• current PnL on the chart
• position size
• take-profit and stop-loss lines
• quick controls such as TP Market, All, and close icons

This matters because risk is easier to understand visually than in a table alone.

​

Trade panel on the right

The right sidebar is where you build and send the trade. In the current layout, the trade panel includes:

• the selected market name
• order mode selector, such as Market
• margin mode and leverage display, such as Cross 20x
• Long and Short toggle
• Size input
• margin usage bar
• Take Profit inputs and quick percentage buttons
• Stop Loss inputs and quick percentage buttons
• the main submit button
• trade summary fields near the bottom, such as liquidation price, order value, and fees

​

Long / Short toggle

This is where you choose direction:

• Long means you profit if the price rises
• Short means you profit if the price falls

​

Order type and leverage

At the top of the panel, you can choose the order mode and see the current leverage setup. In your screenshots, the panel shows Market and Cross 20x.

• Market sends the order immediately at the best available price
• Cross means your position uses the broader account margin rather than isolated margin for only that one trade
• 20x shows the selected leverage multiple

​

Size and margin bar

The Size field is where you define how large the trade will be. The margin line below it shows how much margin the trade uses relative to what is available in the account. This is one of the most important risk controls in the terminal.

​

TP and SL fields

The panel includes dedicated Take Profit and Stop Loss sections with quick preset buttons. This is a strong workflow improvement because it encourages users to define exits before or immediately after entry.

• Take Profit locks in gains if the market moves in your favor
• Stop Loss limits downside if the setup fails

​

Bottom panel: balances, positions, orders, and history

The lower panel is where you monitor what is happening in your account after the order is placed. In the current trade screen, the tabs include:

• Balances
• Positions
• Orders
• Trade History
• Funding History
• Transfers

This panel turns the terminal from an execution screen into a full account workspace.

​

Balances

The balances tab helps you understand what capital is available. This is especially important because Entry separates the trading workflow from simple wallet-style thinking. What matters is not just what you own, but what is available for the type of trading you want to do.

​

Positions

The Positions tab is where you monitor live exposure. In the current interface, position rows include data such as:

• coin
• direction and leverage badge
• size
• value
• margin
• entry price and current market price
• liquidation price
• unrealized PnL
• funding
• TP / SL
• action controls

This is one of the most important sections in the terminal.

​

Orders

The Orders tab shows instructions that are active or waiting to be filled. This is critical because an order can become a live trade even if you are not currently in a position yet. If you use limit entries, staggered exits, or protective orders, this tab becomes part of your active risk management.

​

Trade history, funding history, and transfers

These tabs help explain changes in your account after execution:

• Trade History shows filled trades
• Funding History shows funding payments or receipts on perpetuals
• Transfers shows money movement into or out of the trading account

​

Portfolio tab

Although the default trading screen is where execution happens, the Portfolio tab is also part of the overall terminal experience. It gives a wider account view, including:

• total equity
• 24H PnL
• account value chart
• spot and perpetual balances
• open positions and orders

The trade screen is for action. The portfolio page is for account-level review. That distinction is useful:

• use Trade when you want to analyze, enter, and manage positions
• use Portfolio when you want to review equity, balances, and account performance

​

Widgets and layout controls

The Widgets & Charts button in the top bar suggests that the terminal is not limited to a single fixed layout. This is important because more advanced traders often want different workspace setups depending on their strategy. In practice, layout controls matter for three reasons:

• they help active traders keep the most important panels visible
• they reduce clutter for beginners
• they make it easier to add supporting widgets such as extra charts or market tools

If you document this area separately later, it is worth explaining which widgets are available and when a trader would actually use them.

​

How to read the terminal as one workflow

The easiest way to understand Entry is not as a collection of separate panels, but as a trading sequence:

1. Choose a market from the pair selector
2. Read the market header for price, funding, volume, and open interest
3. Use the chart to understand structure and timing
4. Build the trade in the right panel
5. Monitor the live trade through chart markers and the bottom positions tab
6. Review fills, funding, and transfers in the history tabs

That is what makes the Entry Finance terminal practical. Market context, execution, and position management all stay on one screen, which reduces friction and makes trading decisions easier to follow.
