Hi, Expert Advisor must have a different magic number, this number is for platform to recognize different EA. If you want open one transaction per pair, you need to set this in each EA separately. Regards Greg
No.
You do not know how EA is coded, why do you said "MUST" and "NEED TO" ?
It's all about how EA is coded, usually magic number is used to identify EA, not symbols. So same EA use same magic number across multiple pairs but, as I already said, without EA code is impossibile for us to understand what is the situation.

does not need to! A properly coded expert adviser works with same magic no matter how many different symbol charts you have opened with same adviser....it's a matter of properly handle the OrderSymbol function and OrderMagic function.

I have my own reasons why I use the word "MUST" and "NEED TO" if you want to use same magic number for all Expert Advisors, is your choice:). Regards Greg

Probably I misunderstood what you mean in previous post...
Anyway my last post clarifies it:

Im looking for some advice on how the Magic number will affect my EA.
Currently i have my ea using the same magic number across all 6 of my chosen currency pairs. I also have the max trades open on the magic number set to 1. Will this stop the EA from open 2 different currency trades at the same time?
id like it to be able to open multiple trades on seperate currencies, but only 1 trade at a time per currency. Hope this makes sense.
Advice appreciated.
