Is there a way to distinguish a manual trade (deal) from an automated one ?

 

Suppose that the comment field is empty and that EA doesn't use no magic number. Is there a way, a function or a variable, that permit to recognize a manual trade from a trade takes by an EA ?

I don't think so, but maybe someone has an hack ?

 
As far as I know - magic number. But some traders are using some scripts which are placing magic numbers on any manual traders just "to emulate" automatic trading so ... I think - it is difficult in some case for example.

I don't talk about MT4.

 
As far as I know, no.

But maybe monitoring some automatic habits, like trade time, you can reverse this.
