When closing a position the user must enter the percent of the position to close for each order type. They can also manually type in an asset quantity to close, however this will auto populate the percent field based on the current position size. It is important to recognize that Mummy utilizes the percent amount, rather than quantity, to determine how much of the position will get closed when a linked order is triggered.
For example, assume there is an existing 2.00 WETH long position with two take profits set; The first at 1300.00 for 80% (shown initially as qty 1.60 WETH) The second at 1350.00 for 50% (shown initially as qty 1.00 WETH)
Now let's say the user adds another 0.50 WETH to this position prior to the price reaching 1300.00 making their total position size = 2.50 WETH.
When the price reaches 1300.00, the first take profit will trigger, closing 80% of the position (=2.00 WETH) resulting in a new position size of 0.50 WETH. When the price reaches 1350.00, the second take profit will trigger, closing 50% of this existing position (=0.25 WETH). Notice that, since percent takes precedence, the initial quantities shown are irrelevant if there are any changes to the overall position size before the linked order is triggered.
To fully close a position, you must always set a trigger to 100%

Trailing Stop as X %
Mark Price drops X% from High
Mark Price rises X% from Low
Trailing Stop as X Amt
Mark Price drops X from High
Mark Price rises X from Low
For a Long position order:
When initiating a Trailing Stop order, the Trailing Stop price will always be lower than the Market Price. After a successful order placement, as the Market Price rises, the Trailing Stop price will also increase with the predetermined price gap. When the Market Price begins to decline, the Trailing Stop price remains static, and the order is executed when the Market Price is equal to or smaller than the Trailing price.
The logic of the Trailing Stop Order for Short positions operates in the reverse manner.
