You need to use unique magic number for each currency pair; otherwise, your EA will close the position of another currency. Magic number is just a reference number of a position. EA can use that to track the positions it opened.
If there are multiple positions of the same currency pair, as some trading systems do that, you will need to assign a unique magic number to each position as well.
i think u can use order comment to do that.
just fill the comment with symbol, timeframe, or other setting from the ea, so u dont have to set magic number for every ea on every currency.
You do not require a unique magic number for each pair if the EA is coded correctly. The EA will not close positions of another currency unless the person who wrote it is a retard.
The magic number should not be used as a unique reference for each trade, the ticket number is the unique reference, using a magic number as such makes no sense whatsoever, you are just duplicating something that already exists.
I suggest reading the help file that was written by the people who designed the system and understand what particular features where actually implimented to do.

Hi,
Is it possible to use same EA on multiple currencies at the same time? Do I have to use a different magic number?
Thanks.
