EA used with 2 strategies

Hello guys, am using a UNIVERSAL EA for two charts with different indicator strategies on one pair. One is trend trading and the other one is momentum/impulse trading.

The problem is, if the EA opens a trade in one chart and a signal is received on the other chart of the same pair say USDCAD, the EA will close the previous trade to open a new trade. How do I solve this is? Is it because of the same magic number which has the option to edit or what is causing the problem?

Use a different magic number for each instant of the EA. You should not use the same one for both instances.

For instance the default magic number is 20160308 I can just change the last digit to 7or it has to be the entire figure?

Yes! Any number will do as long as no other EA is using it.
