Assign Magic number to manually taken trades

[BlueMoon]

My strategy requires me to take a bunch of trades manually. Once I take these group of trade I want my EA to watch the P/L of these trades and make decisions. I might also have other trades taken but to me they are not considered part of this group.

So my question is....how can I assign magic number to my existing manually taken trades? This way I can use my EA to make decision based on P/L of only this group of trades.

Thanks but this does not help me. Like I mentioned in my post, I am looking to assign a Magic number to some of my manually opened trades and not all. Once magic number assigned to those trades...I can do all my analytics and conditions for that group of trades.

When you create a new trade manually, you don't have the option to set the magic number. This number exists to be used by expert advisors anyway. The only way to make a trade with magic number different than 0 seems to be to make it with an EA or a Script. Also note that you cannot change that number, it it set once when the trade is created.

Thanks for the confirmation. I will just figure out alternate ways to achieve what I need.

I will just create an EA with buttons to "Buy" and "Sell" This will give me the same feel of manually taking my trades but will have a magic number assigned.

Thanks again.
