Question About How EAs Works.
-
Hello guy,
I have been noticing this issue with my EA. When I install and run one EA (with same magic number) on many trading symbols (e.g eur/usd, gbp/usd, usd/jpy) on the same account at the same time. Even though some of there parameters differ (like the tp and sl) I observe that there is usually conflict/interference in the way the EA works on them.
Like for example, when you set the ea to open a new sell trade when 50 ma crosses above 10 ma when there is no buy trade on Eur/USD. But because there is an open buy trade from the same ea on gbp/usd, the EA refuses to open a new trade on eur/usd. And so on like that...
So I want to ask if this is normal and I will just need to create a unique ea (magicnl number) for each symbol? Or is there something am doing wrong in the ea setup that is causing this?
Please enlighten me guys, thank you.

I just tested the simplest EA (No position -> Buy now, or https://fxdreema.com/shared/bq0ZqU1Fd) and it works as I expected. I put this EA on two different charts with the same magic, and I got two different trades.
Note that I'm using default settings for Group and Symbol, and I assume you are doing it too. And the default settings are such, so the trading blocks are working on the current symbol, and with magic number, equal to what the MagicStart parameter is.
There should be no conflicts between two EAs when both EAs are working on different symbols (like what I did above). In this case the magic number doesn't matter, because the symbols are different.
There should be no conflicts between two EAs when they work on the same symbol, but have different magic numbers. In this case because the symbol is the same, it's the magic number who prevents conflicts.
