Or is there something additional that I need to do to get the EA to execute trades automatically?
Thank you for your help.

I don't know which EA you are talking about.
EAs should be in /experts folder, indicators are in /indicator folder. If you are using EA so you do not need to attach indicators to the chart. Do not forget to compile everything.
It is better to have different magic number for each chart (if you have this option in EA).
And there are some good thread with more explanation:
-
Can't you autotrade?
-
Learning to code for autotrading
And you should check Codersguru lessons even if you are avdanced user or programmer

And switch "Display Options" (in the end of the page) "From The beginning" to see all the lessons.
