Multiple positions with EA?

I'm having a bit of difficulty with my mechanical EA on auto-trade. For some reason it won't open more than 1 trade at a time. With multiple signals across multiple pairs, it'll only hold one trade open, missing all the other opportunities.

Is this a coding issue or an option within MT4?

Thanks.

How do you have this setup? You need to have the EA on a chart for each pair you want to trade. An EA on EURUSD will not get data for the GBPUSD, so it won't know to execute the trade. Also, you will need to have each chart have a unique magic number that will identify that trade to the correct EA/pair.

Hope that helps.

The EA is setup on each pair, but I'm oblivious to the magic number. How am I able to add/change that?

Thanks.

Found the following string of text:

if(OrderSymbol()==symbol && OrderMagicNumber()==expertId) ord++;

So if I change the expertId number of each pair it'll work?

okay ?
