### 7. **Magic** (Default: 8084)
**What it does:**
- Unique identifier for EA's orders
- Separates this EA's trades from other EAs or manual trades

**How to use:**
- **Keep default (8084)** unless running multiple instances
- **Change to unique number** if testing different settings simultaneously
