I have not tried this yet, so I cannot comment on it, but thanks to Bart for sharing it. Hopefully it will be helpful and solve some of the issues that others are having. When I can find some free time, I may try and open a chart and set this up myself and if so, I will make a video and walk through it slowly step by step. For now, I am posting this video in hopes it will help some of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As promised, I am posting the instructions on how to trade the MES Directly from the ES chart using NinjaTrader. It appears that this works for both  versions 7 and 8. I have not personally done this, but several other traders have tested it and say it works well. Feel free to post your results for others to see in the comments below if you try it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basically, you are watching and trading the ES chart, but your trades will actually be triggered and executed in the MES. I like the idea of this, as you get to watch and trade the ES, but with much less leverage and risk while dipping your toes into live trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The instructions are in a Microsoft Word file that you can download by clicking on the &#8220;download&#8221; button below. Enjoy and please post your feedback in the comments after using it. Thanks to Dan, who is one of our members, for providing these instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1213357772?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"203\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-6ac10950-5b81-472f-9a08-31af7ef655ef\" href=\"https:\/\/forestgreen-chicken-354304.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Trade-the-MES-off-the-ES-2000-Tick-chart-on-NinjaTrader.docx\">Trade-the-MES-off-the-ES-2000-Tick-chart-on-NinjaTrader<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/forestgreen-chicken-354304.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Trade-the-MES-off-the-ES-2000-Tick-chart-on-NinjaTrader.docx\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-6ac10950-5b81-472f-9a08-31af7ef655ef\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another trader sent me this video that walks you through this setup.
