Alright, thank god for the basic questions thread, here it goes...

Does each pair with an HGB EA attached need a unique Magic Number - (i.e. AUDUSD = 11, AUDNZD = 22, etc.), or can all instances of the EA have the same Magic Number? Does 0 indicate no trade management/manual trading?

Thanks,

FF

No, and no.

You can have all charts run the same magics, 0 will also take manual trades if/ when the comment matches where necessary.

Use the EA attached in the openingpost from this thread. This should always be the latest version.

HI folks - first post here. Attempting to get the HGB EA running to learn and get up to speed. I am in the US and using the Oanda Demo. I see this error and am hoping someone might know what I am doing wrong?

Seem to be library issue...

That isn't an error.

Thank you very much for the quick reply. I didn't expand the who image (let me re-post the issue) that led me to think it was an error. (Says "String Error")

If it truly is not an error, can you help me learn what that means? (why does it say error?).

Thanks again

SD

I'm not a coder but my guess is that, in the event of an error, it calls an MQL5 function via the library to indicate what the error is.

as said it is no error it shows you that the function int ErrorDescribtion() is lockated in a library(stdlib.ex4), what means outsite the EA code..,so the EA depends too on this file, thats it no error, no issue, no magic

That is why it is called dependencies

Cheers
