Include "Magic#" as one of the ellegible fields for the views.
This way when a report is loaded from a CSV file, we would be able to split strategies by Magic# and/or symbol.
we are using magicnumber handlig as follows
XXYYZZZZZ
XX - market, number like 11 EURUSD, 12 GBPUSD, etc.
YY - TF, number like 05 as M5, 01 as H1 etc
ZZZZZ - random number
without appropriate magic number handling this is not a question for now
Until that happens we need some kind of solution.
Magicnumber of course is very valuable because there's no other way to analyze different strategies.
What we usually do in practice is using the comment field in MT4 to include the magicnumber and the track it. In think this is the common procedure in most of the traders that use several strategies at once.
One kind of workarround, until you find a better solution, would be to upload the comment from the CSV field genereted either by FxBlue or MyFXBook and use it as an ellegible field for views. I think that would satisfy most of us.
EU_15_11152336_S_Ic_CF_A_F_Ba.str
this syntax we are using in the old SQ and can rename strategies automatically, because STR file is open XML, so we can catch everything from it with our app. With this naming i know everything what i need about a strategy - i know its EURUSD for M15, STOP on Ichimoku, ATR SL, fixed TP, exit bars
and the magicnumber is 111523336
with the app i could automatically put this magicnumber right to MQL file
its one click solution
but SQX file is different, its zipped and everything is encrypted in BIN file, so we cant do it for now - so i need to rename strategies by hand, for SQX using for now little simpler syntax, like this
DE_15_801500125_S_LD_SQ3.sqx
i know, its DAX for M15, STOP on LOWDAILY and SQ3 type
magicnumber is 801500125 and with PHP script i could write this magicnumber right to MQL file for whole directory of strategies - so i am on the half way, how to do it completely in automatic way
Status changed from New to Fixed
