Talk to your broker about the errors that state "Order Price is outside the limits...". It looks like some incorrect limits may have been placed on that symbol for your account.

The other messages are that you are trying to trade the December M6A, which is no longer available for trading.

There may be a price multiplier setting in the Symbol Settings for this symbol. We are checking on this now.

Please wait before doing any further trading.

We did check the settings and they are correct. We also ran a test and did not encounter a problem with order entry.

Just to make sure you have them, follow the instructions here:

Global Symbol Settings: Update Global Symbol Settings

And then after that follow these instructions to apply them to the chart:
Global Symbol Settings: Update/Apply Symbol Settings to Charts

For the M6E, what is the real-time price multiplier set to in the chart?:
Chart Settings: Real-Time Price Multiplier (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)

We also want you to disable this option:
Global Symbol Settings: Use Custom Symbol Settings Values (Global Settings >> Symbol Settings)

Does this mean currently i will not be able to trade currency futures?

If the above is yes, is there a rough estimate as to when this fix would be made?

Also currently i trade ES with symbol as ES and Trade and Current Quote Symbol as MES

You can certainly trade currency futures but you need to use a dedicated chart for the micro futures and not use a different Trade symbol.

We will have support for different symbols, with different multipliers ready as soon as we can.

Also currently i trade ES with symbol as ES and Trade and Current Quote Symbol as MES
Yes this does make sense because the multiplier is the same.

The other screenshot is for price multiplier, currently it is set to 0.

Yes that particular multiplier needs to be set to 1 and it does apply to all CME currency futures. We did check on that.

The CME uses a different pricing format for the micro contracts.
