I thought I had my trade window set-up properly, but trying in sim showed 1 tick was $12.50 but it should be $1.25 for 1 MES contract, so not sure I have this set correctly?

You have to update the tick value as well: Chart Settings: Trade and Current Quote Symbol (text box) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)

Oh, I assumed value per tick would automatically switch to MES tick value? So basically it does in your account but you have to change this value to see it on screen correctly?

You may have to manually set this:
Chart Settings: Currency Value Per Tick (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)

It should be automatically set but it might be for different technical reasons.
