It is very convenient to trade MICROS observing MINIS data (volume and Order Flow)
I see this can be done using the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol (Action)" on the Chart Setting Menu on *Symbol putting the Micro Symbol and putting "Yes" on the following line "Use As Trade Only Symbol".
I setted this up in this way as you indicate here Chart Settings: Trade and Current Quote Symbol (text box) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)

It seems ok but when I go into Trade Activity Log, even if it shows trades on the Micros Symbols, profit and loss are calculated on the MINI...
I still didn't try this live...
Is it a bug or do I miss something?

yes, if i put the Micro on the main Symbol it calculates everything correct, but if I use the Trader and Current Quote Symbol (Action) line putting the MINI on the Main Symbol and the Micro on the Trade and Current Quote Symbol (Action) it calculates P&L on the mini even if on the Trade Activity Log shows the correct symbol (micro).
Attached images of it, -4.25pt on the Micros should be -8.5$ not -85$
Please let me know if there is something that I'm missing
Tks
regards

Set the Currency Value per Tick setting in Chart Settings to what is required for MNQ:
