Hello Support,

I have had problems with trading MES on an ES chart consistently over the last few months. I have done this for years without any issues until recently this year. I have the following configuration:

Chart > Chart Settings > Symbol

Symbol (Action) = ESM6.CME
Trade and Current Quote Symbol (Action) = MESM6.CME
Use As Trade Only Symbol = Yes

But for some reason I end up trading ES. What else do you need from me to help me figure this out?

Why do you state that you are actually trading the ES? Is this what you see in the Trade Activity Log, or with your broker?

If the issue is the Profit/Loss values, then this would mean that you do not have the "Currency Value per Tick" set properly. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Updating Currency Value per Tick for Trade Symbol
