Don't depend on Order Comments. Most brokers change the contents and even completely delete or replace them!

The only fail-safe way to identify EA Orders is via Magic-Number. Since that number allows for a "large" range, you can easily accomplish very complex groupings by bit mapping the Magic Number.

I second that. The best way is by magic number. I don't understand why the need for other method.

MN and pair (for the forgetful human,) is all you need. MN can also be a function of TF (for the forgetful human, same pair, multiple TFs,) and/or strategy.

Using OrdersTotal directly and/or no Magic number filtering on your OrderSelect loop means your code is incompatible with every EA (including itself on other charts and manual trading.) Symbol Doesn't equal Ordersymbol when another currency is added to another seperate chart . - MQL4 forum
