Sell prediction-market shares

Usage: bullpen trade sell [OPTIONS] <MARKET_SLUG> <OUTCOME> [SHARES]

Arguments:
  <MARKET_SLUG>
          Market slug

  <OUTCOME>
          Outcome name

  [SHARES]
          Number of shares to sell (e.g., "50" or "12.5"; NOT USD)

Options:
      --max
          Sell the maximum accepted share amount for this outcome

      --output <OUTPUT>
          Output format for command results

          [possible values: table, json]

      --env <ENV>
          Target environment to connect to (overrides config.toml)

          [env: BULLPEN_ENV=]
          [possible values: staging, production]

      --yes
          Skip confirmation

      --config <CONFIG>
          Path to a custom config.toml file (overrides $BULLPEN_CONFIG and the default location).

          Explicit --config and BULLPEN_CONFIG paths fail closed: if the file is missing, the CLI exits validation instead of silently loading defaults. Credentials still resolve via BULLPEN_HOME, so set BULLPEN_HOME too when isolating a session.

      --preview
          Show order preview without executing

      --min-price <MIN_PRICE>
          Minimum acceptable fill price — reject if fill would be below this price

      --auto-wrap
          Accepted for consistency with buy; no-op on sells

      --read-only
          Enable read-only mode: blocks all mutating commands

      --non-interactive
          Suppress interactive prompts; does NOT imply --yes for money-moving commands

          [env: BULLPEN_NON_INTERACTIVE=]

  -h, --help
          Print help (see a summary with '-h')

EXAMPLES:
  # Preview selling 10 No shares without signing or submitting
  bullpen trade sell will-ronaldo-cry-at-the-world-cup-20260604013616610 No 10 --preview --output json

  # Sell 10 No shares with a minimum fill price
  bullpen trade sell will-ronaldo-cry-at-the-world-cup-20260604013616610 No 10 --min-price 0.001 --yes

  # Preview selling the maximum accepted No shares
  bullpen trade sell will-ronaldo-cry-at-the-world-cup-20260604013616610 No --max --preview --output json

This is a simpler alias for `bullpen polymarket sell`; it uses the same
readiness checks, price guards, confirmation rules, and JSON output.

Example Commands

bullpen trade sell will-ronaldo-cry-at-the-world-cup-20260604013616610 No 10 --preview --output json
bullpen trade sell will-ronaldo-cry-at-the-world-cup-20260604013616610 No 10 --min-price 0.001 --yes

JSON Output

Contract: JSON Output Contract.

This command supports --output json, but this generated reference page intentionally does not include a synthetic success schema or example.

Use the live command in your target environment to inspect command-specific success fields. Error output follows the shared JSON output contract linked above.

Schema version: 1 when a command emits schema_version; otherwise treat the current command shape as contract version 1.

Stability

Patch releases may add nullable or optional fields. Minor releases may add required fields or increment schema_version. Major releases may remove or rename fields.
