I need to redeploy and algorthm after making some tweaks. I would prefer to try and continue where I left off. Is there a way to manually override the strategy average price, starting capital etc?
I guess this could be broker specific as there is no concept of a "position" on crypto exchanges when not using leverage.
When redploying, the strategy has my latest holdings but the intended exit for those holdings was calcuated from the average price.
One method I was thinking was to add a parameter for the average price before termination. Then incorporate that in the calcuation. Is there a better method?

Precisely, we cover this a lot in the discussions about crypto. Sadly until the brokerage starts saving the positions and returning them to us its impossible for QuantConnect to record them.
I'd recommend making a REST service and saving the current holdings.

You can set the cash ledger of holdings on launching the algorithm. See this example of SetCash optional arguments.
Your question is actually - how do you reset virtual positions. Holdings are inside each security class and accessed via the Securities helper.
You can set the quantity of a virtual position like the demonstration below because it has a public setter.
Securities["BTCUSD"].Holding.Quantity = 1000
