Hi, new to WL
How can I enter old trades into account?
How can I enter and fill a trade manually?

If you want to use Wealth-Lab to analyze past trades, then Wealth-Lab needs to simulate those trades in a backtest. Although it has its limitations, you can use this technique:
Import Real Historical Trades

And can I simply add a trade manually putting in my own price?

Not really...
If a stock trades 100 - 102 and I get a buy signal. I buy 100 shares from my broker for 101 and I would like to enter the trade into my account. How do I do this?

There is no way to
simply add a trade manually putting in my own price but you've got two workarounds:
1. Like Cone suggested to you, use
Import Real Historical Trades2. To have the trade assigned to a PaperAccount,
enable hidden file visibility and manually edit the
Accounts.xml file here: c:\Users\
username\AppData\Roaming\Fidelity Investments\WealthLabDev\1.0.0.0\Data\
And here's a fusion between the two methods: the pretend trades you enter into the Accounts file can be imported by a trading system. Check out how to "Import the history of real trades from Wealth-Lab's Accounts tool"
here.
