Jawad,

This is what I beleive you where asking for.

Buy Open - You are entering a new position by buying a contract
Buy Close - You are closing a short position by buying a contract
Sell Open - You are entering a new position by selling a contract (shorting)
Sell Close - You are closing a long position by selling a contract.

Someone else shout if I got this completely wrong.  I am not trading options
yet but I have read a few  books on options trading.

Regards,

    Jens
