Exclamation Answer to nagging question

I just figured out why my trades would sometimes close or open mysteriously without my doing. In my spare time I test some EA's that I have retrieved from various sites to see how they perform and to get to understand MT4 and how to utilize the backtesting.

As you know I have floating trades that are open until they show at least a 25 pip profit then I close them out. Well when I was testing these EA's they would generate some new openned trades and close some other trades. There lies the problem. It was causing chaos with my manual trades that were floating.

So I will need to start over with my testing and tinker with other EA's on my other computers in my home. I just hate to see a closed out position that I didn't authorize.
