hello how do i stop the individual prices from moving every time i select a new horse in dutching?

I'd prefer the price to stay at what each horse costs for the profit not as a selection as a whole

I tried clicking overide target profit but that doesn't do the job?

in other words if i select a horse by itself and shows me how much it costs for 20 dollars profit

thats how i want the others selected aswell,

how do i do this?

thanks again :)

prices move always, it's a betting exchange. That's how it is.

You can't stop the prices from moving as the exchanges will be moving around underneath. The only way to halt all price movement is to slow down the refresh speed or switch it off. The problem you then have is that the prices you dutch at may no longer be available when you are ready to place the bets.

Hi, no i mean that with the dutching everytime i add a new horse the price increases i gather to cover the bet ect?

even if the prices dont change early on if there both stay the same then i choose another horse the dutching is increasing the price , a price as a whole ect?

is there a way to stop that?

the price increases everytime selecting a new horse ect

thanks

When you dutch, you acceptable a fixed profit for a set liability. If you increase the number of horses in your bet or you increase your profit target then your liability has to change as do the amounts on the other horses. That's how it creates a potentially profitable position.
