Opens too many positions, you should limit ea to only open 1 position
 
You should add MA filter too

it opens another trade if the previous one takes tp or sl while the condition is still there when market is trending that direction aggressively it can be advantagous
 
The bug that the ea makes too many trades at the same time has been noted and will be sorted in the next version this was just a case of confusing between two files

That is not very much "documentation", if it can even be called that.  Just place it here, since it doesn't take up much space.  Here it is for all:
