paulrainbow7:
Can I have multiple trades open per EA?
My strategy that I want to consider is accumulating multiple, or aggregated, trades.
I think you can only have 1 trader per Magic Number.
In general, I am interested in no more 3-4 trades.
Are there any example EAs where multiple trades can be opened?

Yes.

hi,
Could anyone recommend any mq4 or mq5 EA that opens multiple trades, please?
It does not need to close any trades, as I want to explore aggregation of trades, with manual closure.
If it's based around MACD, all the better.
(I have tried commenting out the trade close logic on an mq4 file, but I get errors when it tries to open a second trade, hence my belief (apparently incorrect) that you can only have 1 trade open at a time.)
Thanks

If it gives an error, its probably because the EA is programmed to detect any open trades and prevent new trades from being placed (it has nothing to do with limitations of magic number).
Look in the Codebase for EAs. There are many, many EAs there, probably some already open multiple trades in the same direction. Use them and modify them as you wish.
100 open trades with only $20 on a non-cent account? I doubt it, but it depends on the assigned leverage and contract specifications.
Irrespective of that, only having a $20 balance will not cover the necessary margin requirements for such a total volume.

PS: I have tried looking at Grid type EAs , but confess, can't unravel the code.
