Account analysis by magic number

Post by fode »

Hi,

Is there a utility that can help to analyse historical trades by magic number ? e.g. NB10.2 has D1 Trend, H4 Trend, etc. If that can be displayed in pie chart, that will be great.

thanks

MyFxbook lets you do something like that, I never used it though, but you can filter by magic.

I just tried myfxbook, but I think NB10.2 magic is 0 for all trades, I think I have to use the "comment" in the Account History instead of magic, any advise please ?

Hi fode,

Try http://www.mt4i.com . Click on the "Stats" button and there's a tab, labelled "Strategy", which sorts by magic number or comment. I remember using this about 12 months ago to do exactly what you're asking.

Cheers

Thank you for your suggestion. MT4i can categorise trades by magic numbers.

New challenge for me now is to find out / tie back the comments to the magic number, but I am confused about some comments vis magic numbers e.g. two trades with the same comment BB Range[tp] has two different magic numbers 1776929364 and 602744331 ?

Is there an automatic way to tie back the magic number and the comments ?

Appreciate to shed some light about the different magic number for the same comment ?
