Loss management - trade symbol vs chart symbol

I noticed that when I trade MES from an ES chart, the loss management still calculates the loss value amount based on ES points. For example, if I set the loss limit to $300, taking a loss of 6 MES points locks me out for the day.

I can get around this by making the $ value 10 times, but there is an issue with the calculation.

When using a "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" you need to adjust the "Currency Value per Tick" to be the value of the entered "Trade and Current Quote Symbol". Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Updating Currency Value per Tick for Trade Symbol
