I ran the same EA on multiple charts and it starting doing some wacky things, what am I missing? And what is the 'magic number' for? I thought if I saved the ticket number in an external variable I could use that to identify the trades of individual EA's. Each EA has only one trade open at all and any time. Thanks! Tom |

Betting Modeling as Means of Developing "Market Intuition" The article dwells on the notion of "market intuition" and ways of developing it. The method described in the article is based on the modeling of financial betting in the form of a simple game. |

Dont use ticket number for this - use MagicNumber, which is set in the OrderSend line. Best to have this as an extern variable See 'MagicNumber: "Magic" Identifier of the Order' You can then use the same EA on multiple charts with different values for the MagicNumber (set in the extern variable list that pops up when you add an EA to a chart) Good Luck -BB- |

But external variables are not 'shared' among EA's, with this said, the confusing part for me is - How can the ticket number, when stored in an external, not be unique and sufficient to identify an order for a particular EA?TC Dont use ticket number for this - use MagicNumber, which is set in the OrderSend line.
