I changed my settings to allow me to trade MES over the ES chart but when I go into Simulation trading it immediately fills my market buy order and shows me a net P/L of the entire contract price. When I place a sell order with a stop it executes it as normal with my proper stop placement.

Any information or help on this would be greatly appreciated.

We are not sure what exactly you are trying to tell us is the issue, but the one thing we want to point out is that when you use a "Trade and Current Quote Symbol", you need to adjust the "Currency Value per Tick" for that chart in order to properly reflect the Profit/Loss. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Updating Currency Value per Tick for Trade Symbol

I am getting the error message

Teton CME Order Routing (Order reject). Info: CME (Rejected). Text: Order price is outside bands 'Difference between stop and limit price is larger than banding value of 600.0 using Delta .00'. Text: Attached order. Parent: 1016. Tag: SimpleBracket.twconfig. Internal Order ID: 1017. Service Order ID: 294380. Symbol: MESU23_FUT_CME. Account: xxxxxx|


I am simply trying to us ES chart to trade MES.I have trade and current quote symbol action set to the MES contract and the Symbol action set to the ES contract. I have use as trade symbol only set to yes, but when I input and order with the chart trade window it gives me that error and removes my stop loss. I can see im in the trade based off of the PnL but nothing else.

UPDATE: It seems to be working... All I did was redo the steps to enable trading another symbol on the current chart and it seems to not be giving me any errors anymore.

The error you were getting is stating that at least one of the attached orders is too far away and is therefore outside of the bands of allowed pricing.

What would be the reason? My stop limit offset was only 12 ticks and I set everything up correctly as far as I could tell

How was the parent order being entered and what were the values?
