Close Trade and Greening (Parameters)

When using either the 'Close Trade on Selection', 'Close Trade on Selection with Greening' or the 'Green all Selection' rule types this Parameters area will allow you to configure when the bet is placed which price to use
 
The first option lets you specify the price you wish to use, when using the 'Close Trade on Selection' or 'Close Trade on Selection with Greening' rule the options here are the same as when placing a regular back or lay bet, full details of each can be found on this page 
When using the 'Green all Selections' rule you will have the options of placing the bet/s at the 'Current Market Price' or 'Reverse Market Price'
 
 
 
Apply Percentage Staking
Here you can choose to just place a percentage of the calculated stake, to partially close the open trade. This can be useful if you intend to spread your exit across different prices, or perhaps wish to exit half the position at one point in time and fully exit at a later time.
 
NB: If you are offering the bets to the market and wish the bets placed by the first use of Close Trade to remain in the market when you call the rule a second time, you should switch off 'Advanced Automation' in the cancellation section of Green Up Rules in Bet Angel Settings. This prevents the rule from cancelling existing bets before placing new ones. If you wish, you can explicitly use a Cancel All Unmatched Bets rule before the first use of Close Trade to clear the market.
