Closing a bet

If you decide to close your bet before it expires, you can close your bet manually by clicking on the "Open positions" button to view your open bets. In this page you will see a Close button on the right hand side. If you click this button, you will only be given one option either a buy or a sell depending on your original trade. For example if you had a buy position you would need to sell to close so only the sell button will appear when you click on the close button.

Alternatively, you can close your bet by finding the original product that you traded, entering a equal stake size to your original bet and then making a trade in the opposite direction. For example if you make a £5 buy to open, you will need to make a £5 sell bet to close.

Partially closing a bet

If you decide you want to lower your initial stake and partially close a bet you will need to find the original product that you traded, enter your new stake size (which will be less than your original stake) and then make a bet in the opposite direction. In the example below, you initially made a £5 buy bet to open and then you decide you want to partially close your bet to make your stake size £2. You would need to make a £3 sell bet to close this part of your bet.

Please note that all markets work on a first in, first out basis. This means that if you initially buy £1 a point in the FTSE Rolling Daily at 6000 and then subsequently by another £1 a point in the same market at 6005 (leaving you long £2 per point) the First sell you make will close out the first position opened, in this case the buy at 6000. So if you first sell was at £1 per point at 6010 then you would realise a profit of £10 on that trade. (6010 – 6000). If your second sell was at 6007 then this would close out you second buy (6005) and you would realise a profit on this trade of £2 (6007-6005).
