Hi, im using standard Mq5 library CPositionInfo I would like to ask what is the difference between CPositionInfo.identifier() and CPositionInfo.Ticket(); I have found that some ppl are using Ticket(), but I didnt found it in code.

Hi All I am thinking about how to write an EA to manage trailing stops for all open orders. It will be attached to a single chart but will manage orders for every symbol.
