Topic: MT5 expert does not have magic number

I built some experts by FSB and none of them have magic number. Therefore when I run them in MT5 with a VPS they can not send orders when another FSB expert position is still in process. What should I do to solve this problem?

Re: MT5 expert does not have magic number

Let me quote the developer on this:

MetaTrader 5 was designed to trade only a single position per instrument and did not support "magic numbers". For that reason, FSB Pro does not have a "magic number" property for the MT5 experts. FSB Pro supports only MT5 netting accounts where the magic number is meaningless.

Thanks for your reply.
Actually I am MQL5 programmer and I use magic number in my expert advisors. And MT5 support hedging and magic numbers.

Use EA Studio to generate strategies for your MT5 hedging account.

This was added later for traders out of the USA.

MT5 was primarily designed for the USA stock market and FIFO rules.
