Magic number

New comment
 

Hi traders,

If I run the same expert on more than one chart but different pairs for the same account.

Can I use the same magic number for all pairs?


Thanks

 
Yes but then you have to select the positions (e.g. for trailing the stops) by the ticket AND the symbol!

Thanks,  so the same magic number will work fine for all pairs if I don't use trailing stop?

It really depends on how the EA deals with Magic Number.

a correctly coded expert adviser handle it's own orders always by magic and symbol regardless of how many charts it's attached to or you use other advisers on the same account.

But this should not be taken for granted as not all advisers uses this correct....

Surely will do that in the future....

Anyway I tested the advisor on 10one-minute charts with diffrent pairs.

It seems to work perfectly without any interference with the other pairs with the same magic number.


Thanks to all...
