User Guide — Magic Number Generator

1️⃣ Web Tool (HTML)

How to use:

1. Open the  MagicNumberGenerator.html  file in any browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.).

2. Fill in the three fields:

   • Symbol: the asset you use in MT5 (e.g., XAUUSD, BTCUSD, NAS100).

   • Timeframe: the period in minutes (e.g., 1, 5, 15, 60, 240).

   • EA ID: a 1 or 2-letter identifier for your EA (e.g., A, B, S1, TK).

3. Click Generate.

4. The generated number appears in large text. You can copy it using the Copy button.

5. The history panel keeps the last combinations used. Click on any row to load it again.

2️⃣ MT5 Script ( MagicDisplay.ex5 )

How to use:

1. Copy the  MagicDisplay.ex5  file to your MT5 terminal's  MQL5/Scripts/  folder.

2. In MT5, drag the script from the indicator/script navigator onto any chart.

3. In the parameters window, enter your EA ID (e.g., A, B, S1, TK).

4. The script will display a black panel in the top-left corner showing:

   • Current symbol and timeframe.

   • The generated Magic Number (as string and as integer for MT4 compatibility).

   • The decoded parts of each block.

   • A warning if the number exceeds 19 digits.

5. If you change the chart or timeframe, the panel updates automatically.

6. To close it, remove the script from the navigator or restart MT5.

3️⃣ Include File for EAs ( MagicGen.mqh )

How to use:

1. Copy the  MagicGen.mqh  file to your terminal's  MQL5/Include/  folder.

2. In your EA code, add at the top:

   cpp

   #include <MagicGen.mqh>

3. In  OnInit() , call the function:

   cpp

   int magic = GenerateMagicNumber("A", Symbol(), Period());

   Replace  "A"  with your EA's identifier.

4. Use the  magic  variable as the Magic Number in your orders.

5. The generated number is always the same for the same combination of symbol, timeframe, and ID.

⚠️ Important Note
