My Ea wont stop opening and closing orders, it seems to be ignoring something in my code, is there anything wrong with my close order function? 
Matt_Townsend: is there anything wrong with my close order function? 

Yes - you must count down when closing orders: 

for(int i=OrdersTotal()-1; i>=0; i--)
You can read up why here

It is still just opening up and closing trades almost immediately, is there anything else wrong with code?

Print out your variables, and find out why.
if(OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber && OrderSymbol()==Symbol()) continue;

Why would you continue ?

if(OrderMagicNumber()!=MagicNumber || OrderSymbol()!=Symbol()) continue;


would make more sense

It doesnt close orders if the code has ||, but it does work better with the != in there

Here is my code as it stands now, it can open trades on whatever pair I set it on, but randomly has certain ones with open trades. I've been trying to get the code to essentially run independently on whatever pair I put it on, but unfortunately the code will not open any trades until all other trades are closed, and then doesn't open up trades on all the pairs that it is set on. Is there anyway to have the program do that, It does buy and sell the way I want it to.
You code
  for(int i=OrdersTotal()-1;i>=0;i--)
      {
         if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)==false) break;
         if(OrderMagicNumber()!=MagicNumber || OrderSymbol()!=Symbol()) continue;
         //---Check Order Type
         if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)
Simplified
  for(int i=OrdersTotal()-1;i>=0;i--) if(
     OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS)
  && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber
  && OrderSymbol()      == Symbol()
  ){
     //---Check Order Type
     if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)

Each chart is still not running independently, is there anything else I can do?

And the way that is coded, it no longer closes trades.

    total = OrdersTotal();
    //---Start operations
    
    if(total <= 1)
loop through the open orders and only count trades that have the EA's magic number and chart symbol
