Using one symbol for charting and another for actual order entry

This one is a longshot but i figure i'll ask anyways. Lets say I have 2 pairs, a normal USD currency futures contract, and an emicro USD currency futures contract. What I would like to do is to chart the normal USD currency futures contract, but transparently enter trades for the emicro instead on the charts. If a limit/stop price is hit on the normal contract, the order will be executed on the emicro instead, irregarless of what the price on the emicro is at the time. The reason being that the e-micro typically has very low volumes, so the charts look more erratic. I'm aware of all unusual scenarios and implications this may cause. Is this possible?
