how to close specific orders?
void string Symb=Symbol();
where do you have this syntax from, what do you expect from putting the void in front of the variable declaration? Does this even compile?
I believe you can use MagicNumber with this purpose.
Do the following:
1. Create extern variable ExpertMagicNumber
2. In your check function add code like this:
if ( OrderMagicNumber() == ExpertMagicNumber ) { /*...close position...*/ } else { continue; }
3. When you open a position with OrderSend function use ExpertMagicNumber to pass a unique value to each expert, for ex:
OrderSend( symbol, cmd, volume, price, slippage, stoploss, takeprofit, NULL, ExpertMagicNumber )
4. Now for each instance of you EA use different magic number.
As a result each EA will control only it's own positions.

void string Symb=Symbol();

{if(OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES) == TRUE)
if (OrderSymbol()== Symb){
{Pos=OrderType();
if(Pos==OP_BUY){Result=OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Bid, Slippage, CLR_NONE);}
if(Pos==OP_SELL){Result=OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Ask, Slippage, CLR_NONE);}
if((Pos==OP_BUYSTOP)||(Pos==OP_SELLSTOP)||(Pos==OP_BUYLIMIT)||(Pos==OP_SELLLIMIT)){Result=OrderDelete(OrderTicket(), CLR_NONE);}
