Using trade and current quote symbol breaks net p/l, profit and loss management

Chart #1 is a DOM with symbol ES and trade and current quote symbol MES.

Placing a 1 lot order and taking 0.5 ES points profit shows in the "Trades" tab of the trade activity log as $2.50 profit. (MES = $5 per full index point).

In the "Chart Stats" tab, the "Daily Net P&L" column for chart #1 shows a P&L of $25, which is what the full size contract P&L would be ($50 per index point).

Can this be fixed? I have reviewed "Solving Inaccurate Trade Statistics for Charts Field Values" in the documentation and this case is not listed.

I understand that this issue will also affect Global Profit and Loss Management when trading micro contracts.

Thanks.

Thank you, this works for tick size, however the commission value from symbol settings for the emini ES rather than the micro ES is being applied to daily net p/l.
