I tried using manual/fixed stakes. Then I switched to Tick Size from drop down at top. Trouble is, if I wanted to select one of the manual bet boxes to select a specific stake size, they don't work while Tick Size is selected. Is there a way to override this so I can still choose manual stakes while using the Tick Size setting?

You select the staking method you want to use, then input the stake size you want to use for each selection

If you want to stake by 'tick size' then go back to a 'fixed stake' you need to change the staking method back to a 'fixed' stake again

No matter which staking method you select if you want to switch to another you can't just leave the one you have selected and expect the software to know that you now want to use a different one, and for it to know which one you want it to use

I'm not expecting unrealistic knowledge by the software. I think I just had the wrong idea. I thought those boxes above the ladders were 'manual stake' options, and always were. So it seemed fair to assume that the software will 'know' when I click on one of those, THAT is the stake I want to use now. I now realise if I put .50 in there, I see the auto stakes change to 50p per tick. I didn't realise those boxes had a different function when auto staking selected.
Thanks for clarifying.

PS - What I am trying to achieve, in case it's possible, is to use auto stakes but order percentages of my entry as exits up/down the ladder. So if auto stake puts a 100 stake into the ladder, when it gets matched i want to put 4 x 25 stakes in as exit orders. Seems that's not possible without turning the auto staking off each time, which is cumbersome so if there's no way around that I will just go back to fixed stakes. Need to make a list of what stakes to use at what odds! thanks
