How to separate balance of each EA virtually?

[mu_world]

I am now combining 4 EAs into 1 EA (I deal with Each EA as a function) and it seems to work properly,  but I’ve got one problem for position-sizing.

When I use AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_BALANCE),  it returns the total balance of

4.EAs and  each order is calculated based on the balance.

That’s not what I want. I

I want to separate balance of each EA virtually so that I can calculate the position-sizing based on the separated balance of each EA(function).

For example, if I run EA_1 and  EA_2  on the same EA,  I want to have a virtual balance for EA_1 and another virtual balance for EA_2.

.

Each balance must be  independent.

Could anyone help me to solve this problem?

I would appreciate any information you could give me.

Thanks

Hello you can separate them by using: 

ORDER_MAGIC

ID of an Expert Advisor that has placed the order (designed to ensure that each Expert Advisor places its own unique number)

Correction Here, It isnt showing total balance of 4 EAs it is showing the account info with respect to the ACCOUNT_BALANCE. even if you remove all 4 EAs the AccountInfoDouble returned values will never be affected. 

in simple terms you are using the wrong function. 

what you want is to either 

1. Divide the Account Balance into Number of EAs, hold each in maybe an array or in a structure.

double EA_Balance[4];
input balance_1 = 0.25,
balance_2=0.25,balance_3 = 0.4; 

//Inside some function 
EA_Balance[0]= balance_1*ACCOUNT_BALANCE
EA_Balance[1]= balance_2*ACCOUNT_BALANCE
//etc 
then have 

#include Trade
CTrade m_trade[4];

//inside Init
m_trade[0].setMagic(EA_1_Magic);
//etc

Thank you for the reply.  I understand that I should initially divide  the Account Balance into Numbers of EAs, but after that I really don't know how to hold the separated balance.

Even if I set an array like "EA_Balance[0]= balance_1*ACCOUNT_BALANCE", I don't think that I can hold the EA_Balance[0] independently.  

For example, I need only EA_Balance[0] is effected by EA_1's order and deal.

Thank you for the reply.

Even if I can separate each EA's order,  I think it doesn't mean that I can hold separated balance individully.

Am I wrong?

What? 

EA1 uses MAgicNumber 1  also uses EA_Balance[0] for balance and also you will adjust EA_Balance[0] based on the Profit or Loss that EA1 encounters 

can you please explain this code I sent above here.

Though what I sent isnt complete code and has million erors the idea I beleive is clear. 
when you say 

metamitsu:

 hold separated balance individully.

what do you mean 

what is it that you want to do exactly 



link will get you someone thatcan write the code for you and you analyse the code and see where you was going wrong

Thank you again.  I understand your idea that adjusting EA_Balance[0] based on the Profit or Loss that EA1 encounters,  but how is it possible?

Everytime I send an order, take profit and cut loss, should I call EA_Balance[0] and add or subtract to that?

You can then filter all positions and calculate profit / loss for every EA individually.

What are you trying to do exactly ?
