Can more than 1 EA trade on a chart?

I have two EA's that I'm testing and according to my calculations, if there are sufficient funds the two of them should be able to trade, but does it technically work like that as well?

You can only put 1 EA per chart. As soon as you add a 2nd EA to a chart the 1st one will be automatically removed.
You can put as many EA's as you want on a single pair but it will be on a different chart.
The rest of it would depend on what type of money management you have coded into it.

Thanks, makes sense!

I think I should have refrazed my question, I can open a second chart on the same pair and enter a different EA and that actually works (at least on my MT4 with FXCM)!

If the other EA uses a different MagicNumber, it will work.

Yeah you're right, it didn't work if you have one EA already active on the first chart.
