You need to separate the Entry Criteria from the Time Trigger. The criteria for the rule should just be the Stage, and maybe to check that the Close Date is in the future. 

Close Date greater than or equal to TODAY
Stage not equal to Closed Won,Closed Lost

Then the time trigger will run on that future date:

0 days before Close Date
