difference between a ticket number and magic number
A Ticket number is a unique number allocated to an Order, it is usually in the leftmost column when you look at the Trade or Account History tabs. The Ticket number is allocated by your Broker.
A Magic Number is optional but is often used within a Script or EA and is used to identify a set/group of orders that share a common attribute, for example the Magic Number may signify that they were all placed by a specific EA running on a specific Symbol.

The order number can be changed and is important for the broker. It can only be used in a single order. If a part of the order is closed, the closed order number remains in the closed order. A new order number is given for the lot that is not closed. Magicnumber is given by the user and consists of numbers. More than one order can be given the same magic number. It provides convenience to the user during the expert process. For example, close orders with magic numbers 111. The Magic Number does not appear in the order tab in mt4. The magic trick doesn't matter if you're not going to use Expert.
