The following code combines the symbol, expert name & time frame for a Magic Number:


int MagicNumberFromExpertName(string expert_name)
{
int magic_number = 0;
//We use symbol here as an expert has to be attached to a chart
for(int i=0; i < 5; i++)
{
magic_number = magic_number * 3 + StringGetChar(Symbol(), i);
}
for(i = 0; i < StringLen(expert_name); i++)
{
magic_number = magic_number * 3 + StringGetChar(expert_name, i);
}
magic_number = magic_number * 3 + Period();
return (magic_number);
}
