Magic number not displaying properly - page 2

This means they are not using the same EA. The same EA name and even the same EA version does not guarantee that the source code has not been changed since the video you watched was recorded.

This indicates that the problem is in the advisor's code, and not in the terminal or on the broker's server.

I get what youre saying, but what are the odds that two different authors of two different EAs both revised their EAs without updating version numbers, all in the last 2-3 months? The odds have to be astronomical. Granted its possible but statistics say it highly unlikely. Plus why would both authors remove a function such as magic number when it was already in there? None of this adds up.

The fact that the EA you generated works fine (magic number is displayed) means that MT5 is OK and the server is OK. You're simply faced with a confusion of versions of one particular EA.

Since there is no source code, no one can help you with that EA except its author.
