Renaming EA, and re-attaching to chart

[E.A.Sheppard]

Hello,

Please could someone advise me?

I have an EA running on a chart, it has a magic number: "100"

I rename the EA in Data Folder > MQL5 > Experts folder while the EA is still running (no code is changed)

I refresh the Navigator window and the name change shows up

I drag the EA with the new name onto the chart where the same EA with the old name is running

MT5 asks me if I want to replace old-name EA with new-name EA, I say yes

New-name EA is now running on the chart where old-name EA was

Question: Will new-name EA take control of the open trades that old-name EA opened, and exit the trade in the same way old-name EA would have done?  Will magic number "100" ensure that MT5 properly associates open trades with respective EA's?

Thank you

It depends on how the EA was coded but most likely it will.
