I have a 6EU22_FUT_CME chart and want to set the trade and current quote symbol as M6EU22_FUT_CME but when I do this there are issues with how the working orders show on the chart and the orders being placed. If I market in then my bracket order does not show on the 6E chart and it looks like the stop order is not being placed on M6E either. I think this may have something to do with the tick size and price display units being different on the Micro but am not sure if this is the case. Is there a way to solve this?

Yes this is solvable. The actual native exchange price format is different between the two of the symbols and that is the reason for the problem.

Thank you that is mostly working now however if I place a sell limit order above price on the 6E chart then it does not work but if I place a buy limit below price on the same chart then it does work. Also I was in a position and then place the sell limit above as a take profit but this immediately closed the position and at a very strange price. It looks like it was a decimal error as the position closed at 10614.xxxx instead of 1.0614. Any ideas on this and why the buy limit seems to work but not the sell limit?

What did you set this setting to: Chart Settings: Trade and Current Quote Symbol Price Multiplier (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu) It needs to be 1.

Regarding post #5, those settings are correct.

We tested both buy and sell orders.
