Trade the MES on an ES chart?

[jtprsemg]

Is it possible to trade the MES while viewing the ES for trade entries? Can I place a trade via chart trader on the ES chart, but would actually be trading the MES? Maybe like a cross trading function, or an option to change the contract size to micros?

Hello,
Thank you for your post.

You may plot MES as the Primary Data Series and ES as the 2nd in the same chart Panel, then take steps to hide MES from view. Because MES will remain the primary data series (shown from the top Instrument drop-down), Chart Trader will be able to still submit orders to ti.

The below video goes over hiding a Data Series for indicator purposes, but you may use the same steps to mask the non-primary data series in general.

Please see the below tip video from our YouTube channel that covers this set up, "The Hidden Data Series."

Let me know if I may assist further.
