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.
