Trade window calculates profit/loss for chart symbol rather than trade & quote symbol

Here's an example of problem I'm having. I have a chart of an ES contract. It is also set so that the "trade and current quote symbol" is an MES contract. The box for "use as trade only symbol" is checked for the MES. If I attach a chart window to the chart and use it to trade, it will execute trades for the correct symbol (in my example, the MES), but the profit and loss is calculated using the tick dollar value of the chart symbol (in this case, the ES). How can I correct this? Thanks

You need to adjust the Currency Value Per Tick setting:
Chart Settings: Currency Value Per Tick (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)
