Hi.
I am very new to EA's.
I am trialling three simple EA's (created by others) in Metatrader 4. After opening one trade, all three EA's will stop taking trades. I don't know whether this is standard Metatrader behaviour, or specific to these EA's.
I like it that Metatrader stops trading after one trade entry, but would like the option to manually reset the EA so that it will take additional trades. Is this possible? (I don't want the EA to manage any trades after entry; I will manage the trade manually.)
I also wonder about the magic number. I would like to use the same EA on multiple pairs. Do I need to enter a different magic number for the EA on each pair's chart? Does the fact that I only want the EA to enter trades, not manage them, affect the answer?
Thank you.
