A "Magic Number" in the context of trading robots like Galileo FX refers to a unique identifier assigned to each expert advisor (EA) or trading strategy. This identifier helps to distinguish between multiple EAs or strategies running on the same trading account, allowing them to manage their trades independently.Hey Joe,
I see now that the times are tied to the charts themselves - I thought it needed to be defined on the EA's configuration settings. Thanks for that information.
I applied the EA to an H4 EUR/USD chart, but it doesn't seem to be executing trades. I made sure to tick the box on the Common tab for Allow Algo, and at the top of MT5 I toggled the button so that Algo trading is enabled. Is that all that's needed to kickstart the EA?
I have a few more questions:
- What I'm looking for now is how often can we expect the EA to react and make trades? Is it all based on the timing of the chart (i.e. D1, W1, H1, H4, etc) ?
- Can you elaborate on where to deny/prevent Short Selling? I don't see that anywhere and that is against my trading strategy so I want to make sure that's completely disallowed.
- Lastly, what are all of these other settings on the EA?

Risk % if your not using lots would be portion of your account equity that you're willing to risk on a single trade or across all trades opened by the EA.
The "Max Orders" setting in an Expert Advisor (EA) like Galileo FX refers to the maximum number of open trades that the EA is allowed to have at any given time. This setting is crucial for managing risk and ensuring that the trading strategy does not over-leverage the account. Here’s a detailed explanation:
Indicators Configuration is just the title for the bullish/bearish signals section.
