Hi I would like to trade Micro E mini S&P500 contracts on the E mini S&Pcontract chart so

Under Symbol settings performed I did the following please see screen shots

Price display format list I get a drop-down menu and have selected 0.00001

Tick size does not show me a drop-down... So I put that in manually?0.000050

Value per tick does not give me a drop-down..So I put that in manually? $6.25

I have completed the above then pressed Ok, my VWAP chart started to load and once complet was not showing curent day also the cross hairs cursor seem to cover the price/time

Please could you advice

Best wishers

John

There is no reason to change the Tick Size or the Price Display Format, as both the E-Mini S&P 500 (ES) and the Micro E-Mini S&P 500 (MES) have the same settings (.25 Tick Size, therefore a Price Display format of 0.01).

The Currency Value per Tick does need to be changed to the value of the symbol you have set in the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol", so entering $6.25 is correct for this item.

Please change the above and reload your chart and let us know if you are still having an issue.

Your crosshairs color is set to White, which is the same as the background. There was a change in recent releases to not change the color if they are same. You will need to change the colors for the following items in the Graphics Settings to what you want them to be:
- Chart Values: Color of the Price and Time Boxes
- Chart Values: Crosshair
