Use as Trade Symbol Only - Question

View Count: 345

If I have Chart Settings> Symbol > Use as Trade Only Symbol set to YES. Does that have any effect on a Trade DOM ? It does not seem to matter whether it is set to YES or NO. I am interpreting this correct ? Perhaps it applies mor to a Chart DOM ?

Thank you

The first thing to keep in mind is that the Trading DOM is it's own "chart". Therefore the setting for "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trade and Current Quote Symbol" and "Use as Trade Only Symbol" are set for that Trading DOM. So make sure you are changing it on the Trading DOM and not a chart.

Next, the "Use As Trade Only Symbol" does affect the Trading DOM in the same way as a chart. Refer to the information at the following link:
Chart Settings: Use as Trade Only Symbol (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)

Just to verify
So you would be able to visualize the data from ES on the Trade DOM while trading the MES for example
I am attaching a screenshot of the chart settings that i am referring to see if I have this correct
Thank you

The way you have it setup, you are viewing all the chart data for the ES (since you have the option for "Use as Trade Only Symbol" set to "Yes"). When you submit an order it will be for the MES.
