After attaching an Expert Advisor to a chart, must I have the computer on 24 hours
for EA to activate the trades? I'm asking because I attached an EA to a chart yesterday,
then I turned off my computer. 24 hours later I turned my computer back on and
this EA already opened a position while my computer was off. Is this possible?
PLease advise. Thanks.

No. This is impossible. Experts don't work when computer is turned off.
You need to analyze your logs - client_terminal_directory\logs\YYYYMMDD.log and
client_terminal_directory\experts\logs\YYYYMMDD.log
