If you are wanting to do this all the time - that is you want to trade the NQ from an ES chart, then use the Use as Trade and Current Quote Symbol setting. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Trade and Current Quote Symbol (text box) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)

You would probably also want to set the option for Use as Trade Only Symbol. The documentation for which is right below the section above.

If, this is just a one-off situation, where you really want to get that trigger information into the NQ chart and then trade from the NQ chart, then you would need to setup a way to get the information and then use the Study/Price Overlay to get the information into the NQ chart.

If you are using a Horizontal Line drawing, then the easiest way to do this would be to use the Spreadsheet Formula to do the test. You would enter the following for the formula in the study, assuming you want to test when price goes above the line:
= IF(C > UDID[x].A1, 1, 0)

Where x is the ID of the drawing.

Refer to the following for how to write an alert that references a drawing:
Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Referencing Chart Drawings

And refer to the following for the Spreadsheet Formula:
Spreadsheet Formula

Then use the Study/Price Overlay to get the Spreadsheet Formula into the NQ chart and then test to see if the Study/Price Overlay has a value of 1 to then trigger your trade. Refer to the following for the Study/Price Overlay:
