s_i: On entry we normally use the last print. We record the price at the time of the alert, which could be more than once per second. We also look at the historical data, and sometimes we adjust the entry price. If the price is outside of the historical candle, we assume it was a bad print and we try to fix it.

Another possibility is that things are just moving very quickly at the time. Both of those happen a lot, depending how you set up your alerts.
