//Setting up the Magic Number

input ulong  Magic_Number = 1234567890; //Magic Number

int OnInit()
  {
   trade.SetExpertMagicNumber(Magic_Number);
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }



//Getting Position Magic Number so that EA only alters/close positions it opened.

for(int i=PositionsTotal()-1; i>=0; i--)

   {

    ulong Position_Magic_Number = PositionGetInteger(POSITION_MAGIC);

    if(Position_Magic_Number == Magic_Number)

       {

       //Actions for positions that only the EA has opened

       }

  }

Magic number is a number for 1 EA, to define the oders of that EA!

If you use a few EAs on 1 platform, you have to define the different magic number for each EA!

Magic Number comparison is the way to go. you should use Order Comment comparison only if your EA actually writes different comments for different trading situations and you wanna have it to have different actions for such cases.


Good luck !

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.)
