What is this feature exactly, and, do I need to have it checked for this scenario:

Symbol is set to ES
Trade and Current Quote Symbol is set to Micro ES
....
I'm running an algo based on the Micro ES and would like it to trade ES and other symbols I apply it to. Thanks

It sounds like you have your Symbol and Trade and Current Quote Symbol set backwards. If you want to have a Micro ES chart and place a trade for the ES based on the Micro ES, then you need to have your Symbol set to MES (Micro ES) and the Trade and Current Quote Symbol set to ES.

Refer to the information here for how these items work:
Chart Settings: Trade and Current Quote Symbol (text box) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)


Also refer to the documentation for Use as Trade Only Symbol:
Chart Settings: Use as Trade Only Symbol (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)

Thanks so much. One more thing if you don't mind...
..
Can I receive DOM data such as Recent Ask/Bid volume into a Spreadsheet Study/ Spreadsheet for Trading? Thanks again, very helpful

In general the DOM data is not available within the software - you would need to use ACSIL in order to get the data.

But, there are a few Pulling/Stacking data available in the Numbers Bars Calculated Values 2 study. You will find the information on these subgraphs here:

I am using ASCIL currently, but I cannot understand what a Price Tick Index, or how to set it. This is my current issue I'm dealing with, thanks

This is the actual price value divided by the tick size for the symbol.

Hello John

Just reading this form. I'm trying see ES data but want to place a trade for MES. I have the following settings on my ES DOM:

Symbol is set to ES
Trade and Current Quote Symbol is set to Micro ES
Use as Trade only Symbol - Marked as Checked

However when I place a trade, it shows the same P/L as per the ES. Is it trading the MES but just showing a different P/L? or am I doing something wrong.

Cheers

Since you are using a "Trade and Current Quote Symbol", you then need to adjust the Currency Value per Tick to reflect that of the symbol in the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" field. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Updating Currency Value per Tick for Trade Symbol
