Topic: Connection ID - reasons for length restriction?

What was the reason for the Connection ID (in Trader) and Magic Number (in MT4) length restriction to a maximum of 5 digits?
In the original FST it was possible to create labels up to 10 digits. In the past I have developed hundreds of strategies and I have created a naming system that used the full available length of 10 digits - in these unique names were "coded" all important features of every individual strategy.
Would it be possible to extend the max. allowed length back to 10 digits in FSB Pro too?

Re: Connection ID - reasons for length restriction?

Of course. I can increase the limit to maximum 2147483647, which is the maximal integer number in MT and in .NET

You can use that even now for the EA magic number.

That would be great. Thank you.
