How to 'Chart the ES, trade the MES'

Hello support team,
I’ve had some advice from a senior trader that I need to ‘chart the ES, trade MES’ rather than just charting and trading MES. Apparently, this is possible to do in SC using the ‘Trade and current quote symbol (Action)’ function on chart settings menu under the 'Symbol' tab. I’ve entered the correct MES contract into the 'Trade and current quote symbol' field but when I then go to my attached trade window, 1 point still equals $50 as if Im still trading the ES. If I'm trading the MES, shouldn't 1 point = $5?
Much appreciated,

ND

You need to update the Currency Value per Tick for that chart when you are using a Trade and Current Quote Symbol. Refer to the information here:
