Fill

The execution of an order, in whole or in part, at a specific price.

In plain English

The price you intended and the price you were filled at are two different numbers. Only the fill is real, and only the fill belongs in your journal.

Example

You submit a buy for 10 units at market and receive fills of 6 at 100.0 and 4 at 100.1.
