Trading Micros contracts with Mini Chart
I have seen this question come up in the past for NT8 comments and realized there is no clear posts or comments from users on how to actually trade micro contracts while trading a mini chart.
Here is a breakdown for anyone who needs it in the future.
Data Series is where you need to set your bones up.
First data set should be what you need for your charting/indicators etc.
Second data set will be your secondary data set - under your options, adjust the chart style to line on close and transparent color AND set the visual panel to the same panel as your primary data set.
Load up the chart with the chart trader visible - you will now have 2 options under "instrument".
I have been able to switch back and forth and trade both without issue on the same chart easily which makes managing risk a lot more efficient.
The screenshot should give some visual pointers if you need it.
One word of advice, if you trade more than one instrument, set up 2 separate windows for your chart with 2 data series loaded in each one rather than switching around - I can only imagine it will take one bug/slip of the finger to mess your day up.
