Why can't magic number separate profits?

[l'andorrà]

I created two versions of the same bot to be used on the same symbol. I want to see the profit/loss performance for both independently. Both both use slightly different versions of the trade launcher but the exact same version of the manager part closing trades partially or completely.

I always believed that using different magic numbers on every chart would be more than enough to separate their results, but I was wrong. Although I'm using them on separate charts I see that both final results at the end of the day are wrong because some results of one of them is included in the other.

Do I need something more than using different magic numbers? What am I missing?

to see the results separate, just add a comment.

thats easiest done by typing something in the buy and sell block, last thing at the bottom. Comment section.

Each trade produced by that block will have that comment.

I think if you install a new metatrader and put the second bot on this metatrader icon, the problem will be solved.

@majidai there are workarounds and there are solutions. Thats a workaround. haha
