Cool 5 decimals brokers

Dear Pipcop, how can I know if an EA you are running on demo or live account works only with 4 decimals brokers or with 5 decimals, too? For example, you use almost always Alpari, which went recently to the 5 decimals system. Moreover, how can I know if an EA could work with different pairs or different EA on the same platform without interferences? All this complementary informations for every EA you are testing would be very useful.
Thank you!

You will have to either contact the author of the robot and ask them, or review the source code if it is available.

Most robots - but not all - use a magic number. If you specify a different magic number on each currency in the setup parameters then it will work fine. If the robot does not use a magic number, then it usually will not be able to keep track of trades across different currencies.

You should contact the brokerages to ask these questions.
