Magic number changed
My MT5 platform is changing the magic number from what is in my code.
I have several strategies running within a single EA. I have a base magic number for each EA: 12102301 then a strategy number for each strategy.
So, the number might look something like this: 12102301267
I'm assuming that this number is too long, and the platform modifies it according to some rules.
Does anyone know the rules or Algorithm for calculating the new number?
I didn't notice this as I didn't have my analysis software set up. Now I'm trying to make sense of 6 months of data with magic numbers that don't match my code.
So, I'm not sure which strategies are which.
Thank you for any help
the magic value is a ulong so no issue with size.
there is no 'calculating a new number', you assign it, so you need to check your code.
