On more than one occasion I have cross traded the micros in lieu of the minis. Watching the running P/L I assume I had it set to minis, but when I look at my trades later, it shows 1/10th the value (i.e. micros). I recognize this is 100% my fault for not checking the chart settings, but is there a way to make it more obvious when a chart is set to cross-trade? (I trade micros in one account and minis in the other, but always trade off the mini chart). Is there a setting somewhere to show cross-trading enabled on the chart or study that would help identify this for me? If not, could you edit the "symbol display" study to include whether the chart is set to cross-trade micros? Perhaps another line below the symbol that says "Trading: [MNQ] or [NQ]". |

The way to see this is that you will have both symbols showing in the Chart Header of the chart. It will look like the following: ESM24-CME/MESM24-CME The second symbol (the one after the /) is the one you are trading (your "Trade and Current Quote Symbol"). The exact symbols will depend on the service you are connected to.
