Identifying orders and positions !

New comment
 

Hello

I need some thought on this

is there any way i can assign a magic number to each individual order from the same expert ?

i know searching the orders with comments is not reliable as many of you stated here before

and looping through them all each time and getting the index and then the ticket number is a way i understand.

however for example if the EA is putting a lot of Orders and need to delete specific ones can be really confusing ( for me at least)

any help will be appreciated .

Of course, but unnecessary.

Magic number only allows an EA to identify its trades from all others. Using OrdersTotal/OrdersHistoryTotal (MT4) or PositionsTotal (MT5), directly and/or no Magic number/symbol filtering on your OrderSelect / Position select loop means your code is incompatible with every EA (including itself on other charts and manual trading.)

You need one Magic Number for each symbol/timeframe/strategy. Trade current timeframe, one strategy, and filter by symbol requires one MN.

If trading multiple timeframes, and filter by symbol requires use a range of MN (base MN plus timeframe).
