When a position hits the Stop Loss, why is the magic number removed in MT5?

[Au Phuong Tan]

Hello everyone!
I'm using MT5 and facing an issue where, when a position with a set Stop Loss is closed, the magic number gets removed. I've used the following code to print the magic number in the history.

for(int i=0;i<HistoryDealsTotal()-1;i++){
      ulong dealticket=HistoryDealGetTicket(i);
         Print(HistoryDealGetInteger(dealticket,DEAL_MAGIC));
         if( HistoryDealGetString(dealticket,DEAL_SYMBOL)==_Symbol &&
             HistoryDealGetInteger(dealticket,DEAL_MAGIC)==INMAGIC ){
             profit += ( HistoryDealGetDouble(dealticket,DEAL_PROFIT)+
                         HistoryDealGetDouble(dealticket,DEAL_SWAP)+
                         HistoryDealGetDouble(dealticket,DEAL_COMMISSION) );
         }
   }

Stop Loss positions are marked as shown in the image.

Checking the history, those positions have had their magic number removed.

Positions closed by the EA still retain their magic number. I calculate the total profit using a filter for the magic number, but this issue causes positions without a magic number to be excluded from the calculation.

Please help me.  Thank you for reading.
