I try to place an order with the following Symbol settings:

Symbol: ESZ22_FUT_CME
Trade and Current Quote Symbol: MESZ22_FUT_CME
Trade and Current Quote Symbol Price Multiplier: 1.
Use as Trade Only Symbol: Yes
Automatically Rollovr Futures Symbol" Yes
Continuous Contract: None
Realtime Price Multiplier 0.01 (MES is also set to 0.01)
Historical Price Multiplier: 0.01
Price Display: 0.01
Ticke Size 0.25

I keep getting this error message:

Teton CME Order Routing (Order reject). Info: CME (Rejected). Text: Price must be greater than zero 'Order for id: MESZ2 has non-positive price 0.0'. Text: Parent order. Tag: ES HV.twconfig. Internal Order ID: xxx. Service Order ID: xxxxx. Symbol: MESZ22_FUT_CME. Account: xxxx| 2022-09-12 19:59:31.571

I have just tried to trade directly (via Symbol) the MESZ22_FUT_CME symbol but I get the same error message.
Can this be an issue with my broker stage5 ?

Set this to 0.

And enter the order using the Chart DOM to ensure you are using a valid price:

I figured it out. The problem was that I was using the bracketes incorrectly and tried to enter the market with a limit price of 0.
Sorry for the noise!
