Trade DOM micro vs mini

I would like to trade, for example, the ES micros but see the ES mini as the DOM so I can see mini trade volume information, etc. even though I am trading micros. I don't want to simply have a second DOM open to look at but to actually have one DOM and trade window open and when I place an order by clicking the DOM showing the mini resting orders, volume etc. it actually takes my trade as a micro. Is this possible?

I played with Chart Settings / Symbol / Symbol (action) and Trade and Current Quote Symbol and Use as Trade Only Symbol and it appeared that with the Symbol as ES and the Current Quote as MES and the Use as Trade Only Symbol as YES that it was going to work but then when I took some SIM trades that way it was really wonky and trades were appearing and disappearing not where I was clicking for my entries.

Would appreciate your help. Thanks.

Yes this is supported through this particular Chart Setting:
Chart Settings: Trade and Current Quote Symbol (text box) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)

and trades were appearing and disappearing not where I was clicking for my entries.
Makes no sense. Should not have any trouble with this at all. We need screenshots showing this.

Thanks. The issue was apparently I had the ES in the Find Symbol setting box and not the MES which I wished to trade. So even though I had the Chart Settings in the DOM Symbols settings correct as ES then MES then "YES" in the top three lines I was not getting the expected results when placing trades on the DOM. Thanks again for your help.
