To buy contracts you select Buy Open. When you decide to sell you use Sell Close. Theres options to Sell open and Buy close, but I do not do that stuff. Second golden rule, or silver rule, Do Not do that which you do not understand. I kinda understand how to use those, but it's taken me long enough to get the hang of basic options trading. That's stuffs for smarter people than me.
