I don't know much but I'm pretty sure that Magic Numbers are trade identifiers used in EA's

I think what you are looking for is to add a Unique ID to an existing indicator

Maybe if you tell us more, which indicator, which time frames required, what settings,

Then perhaps we can make suggestions

Other than that, the talents of a Coder will be needed, also he requires a lot of infomation

And assuming of course, it's not a commercial indicator and can be modified

Good Luck

Thanks, good to hear

Seems as if you are a self-taught coder?

I'm sure there are better places to learn about MQL coding

Have you explored those options?

Or other coders can jump in any time with suggestions...

If you want to use several identical indicators on the same chart, each instance must have its own name. You can change this name with

Inserted Code
void IndicatorShortName( 
   string name // name 
   );

An example from a momentum indicator:

Inserted Code
short_name="Mom("+IntegerToString(InpMomPeriod)+")";
   IndicatorShortName(short_name);
   SetIndexLabel(0,short_name);

I hope this helps you a little.

The indicator already has the unique id input, lol, I didn't see it...

#property strict

And is similar that the code posted above...

Thank You all!
