Hi.
I am using SierraChart version 2802. I have subscribed the EUREX EOBI data with Denali. I have "Trade Simulation Mode On".

I have configured a chart with Symbol F.US.DDZ25-BID_ASK_TRADE_SYNC: this is the DAX Future, those suffixes are here to show a detailed Market Depth Historical Graph.

On the same chart:

I have "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" to F.US.FDXSZ25 (this is the micro DAX). 

I have "Use As Trade Only Symbol" to Yes as I want to trade micro DAX but want to see the quote (DOM) for the full DAX

I have "Currency Value Per Tick" to 1 as this is the micro DAX size.

From this chart ("Chart Trade Mode On"), I can enter market orders and they are executed.
However, Limit and Stop orders do not seem to be executed.

If I change "Use As Trade Only Symbol" to No, Limit and Stop orders are executed, but I am not satisfied as I want to see the Full DAX quotes.

If I change the chart symbol to F.US.DDZ25, Limit and Stop orders are executed, but I am not satisfied as my Market Depth Historical Graph will not be detailed enough.

Is this a limitation of the tool or did I miss a configuration parameter?

What you are doing should be fine. The one thing to keep in mind is that the prices that you see on the DAX chart are not going to match exactly, but they should be cloe.

Is this in Simulation or Live trading?
