Chart Plots and EntryPrice function

[jrandydavis]

I've recently discovered the joy and utility of chart plots. I'm wondering if it is possible to plot a point, line, arrow etc. on the respective candle (5 min Agg) at the exact price point of purchase whenever I enter a trade/purchase a stock. So far I haven't been able to get this to work, and I'm starting to think "EntryPrice" doesn't mean what I think it means.
I've tried this, to no avail-

# Plotting Entry Price
plot Entry = EntryPrice();
Entry.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.horizontal);
Entry.AssignValueColor(Color.WHITE);
Entry.SetLineWeight(3);

Any other way to do this? Ideally I'd like to plot 3 lines together-- one at the entry price, and then one above and one below that price by some offset %, like this-

# Plotting Entry Price Offset
Input Percent_Offset = -10;
plot Offset = EntryPrice() + (EntryPrice() * (Percent_Offset / 100));
Offset.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.horizontal);
Offset.AssignValueColor(Color.YELLOW);
Offset.SetLineWeight(3);

Many thanks,
JRD

@jrandydavis Your use of EntryPrice() is part of TOS Strategy logic and is controlled by that logic... For real trades you would need to use Portfolio Functions, specifically GetAveragePrice()... The downside to that is that Portfolio Functions don't update in real time and some functions only update after RTH...

Ah ok, that explains part of it then. Is there no other way, such as a setting, that will show on the chart the entry price at the corresponding $ position on that chart? I'm thinking of the way Webull does it, and was hoping to set up something visually similar.
Thanks,

@merryDay I forgot that isn't set by default as it's been enabled on all of my chart layouts forever...
