Magic Numbers in EA's

  • First Post: Nov 2, 2007 4:46pm Nov 2, 2007 4:46pm
I have an EA on GBP/JPY running three charts within the same platform: 5M, 15M and 30M
The EA is assigning different Magic Numbers for each chart which is good so open and close of an order is handled correctly.
Now my question is, once all the trades are closed how can I tell which chart or Magic Number closed the trade ??
The history detailed report doesn't list the Magic Number that controlled each trade. Does it? maybe I need to have an option triggered to show me the Magic number ??
What I need to know of course is if I have a loosing trade which TF chart made that trade.
Thanks

While viewing the trades in the history tab of MT4 put the mouse pointer over the trade and it will show you the magic number. Some times I have to move the cursor across the trade and pause a couple of times before the box pops up. You can also right-click and use the 'save as a report' feature. If you have Comments checked in the right-click box the report will show the magic number for the trades in the report.

Oh crap, it does to I didn't realize that, looks like only if the EA has that enabled though.
I have another EA running that doesn't display the Magic Number in the History tab.
Thanks man

Learn proper money management for your time frame before you trade bro.

Do a google search on it or search on FF.
