Testing Multiple EA's
Magic Numbers
Most EAs have a "Magic Number" associated with them. It is an identifier that is attached to every trade originated by the EA. They will be the same (or are supposed to be, no guarantees) for every trade made by that EA and they should be unique. Sometimes they are a user setting which allows you to specify what you want and sometimes they are built into the EA behind the scenes.
It is not easy to access the Magic Numbers unless you have a custom application that downloads trading history into a CSV file. I am sure that they are around, but I don't have one myself. The other alternative is to utilize MyFXBooks to do your analysis. They have Magic Number options.
Hope this helps.

I would like to forward test several EA's at the same time on multiple pairs and be able to keep track of the results. How can I set up multiple demo accounts at the same broker and be able to switch back and forth to keep track of these results?
Thanks
