Magic Numbers, Group Numbers and Multiple EA's Problems

[anse33]

What is "Check positions/pending orders count" checking in detail?
Any position of an instrument using the same MagicNumber like the checking EA itself?
Or any position of the instrument, looking at nothing else?

I thougt, one EA would only recognize positions/orders of its own MagicNumber. So I tried to run more EA's on one instrument. But I'm not sure anymore. Somehow, the other EA's won't open any new position if another EA has opened one already. (Exception: More EA's open one position at the same time. In this case, there was "no trade" before.)

Using groups also seems not to solve the problem, because "groups" only extend the existing MagicNumber for some digits.

EDIT: I still didn't solve the problem! Thought so, but I have variables adding "1" every bar for each EA. So they are influencing and disturbing each other unintentionally!

I just don't get it! Why are different MagicNumbers not enough to keep all EA's actions only by themselves?!

Now it works this way:
Giving every trade from one EA the same group number (111) and every trade from another EA another group number (222) and so on. Actually, this should be the same like another MagicNumber for every EA.
But anyway, if it works, it works.

I can understand you, since I also have very big problems with the Magic + the groups .... horror!
