I am trying to short the MES in (Sim 1).

As an example"

The current price level is 3485.
I want to enter a short position at 3480 (or lower than the current price level (CPL), but every-time and no matter what order type option (Stop, Stop-limit, etc) enters me in immediately at market or CPL. Does the same for entering long.

Is it my mis-understanding on how to enter a short below the CPL or long above the CPL?

So in this case you would want to enter a Sell Stop order at 3480:
Order Types: Stop

ok. I think what I was looking for was "right clicking" on the DOM to enter an order equal or less than the last price. Thank you for your help.
