Topic: Issue with two different expert advisers running on the same currency

I have two distinct expert advisers with very diferent strategies that are running, one is for the EURUSD 5 min chart and the other for the EURUSD 1 minute chart. For some reason they always enter and exit the position at the same time and have the same stop loss and take profit labels (See image below). The 5 min chart doe not even display the customary entry and exit circles.

Thanks,

They must have different Magic Numbers in order to be able to separate the deals.

Thanks!  Being that the US has FIFO rules, can I run two experts on the same currency pair ?

Re: Issue with two different expert advisers running on the same currency

Nothing prevents running of several experts.
The problem comes when the experts decide to open positions in different directions. It is better to use one EA per symbol in your case.
