Hi Support,

Is there a way to trade the MES symbol off or from the ES chart ? A kind of symbol mapping ? I tried to use the <<Trade and Current Quote Symbol>> from Chart - Chart Settings - Main Settings tab but it still trade the ES as shown on the image (I am on a sim account).

I would like to see the e-mini chart and trade off of it while the real position or trade would be on the micro e-mini.

Tx,

Etienne

You have the chart set correctly in regards to that setting. There is nothing more you need to do. Relevant documentation:
Chart Settings: Trade and Current Quote Symbol (text box) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)

If the profit/loss values are not correct, then refer to:

Many thanks for the help. When opening Trade Order Window or Trade Positions window I see that the orders are on the MES. In Chart - Chart Settings - Advanced Settings 2, I did change the Currency Value Per Tick from 12.50 to 1.25. This made the currency display properly in the Trade Window P/L.

Again, many thank for pointing to the docs.
