I have one EA that I am trading live on 7 pairs and now want to add another EA....

2 questions...

1) It appears I can't have 2 profiles with EAs on at the same time? Can one trade 2 EAs each on their our profile?

2) The buy and sell lines from one EA show up on other EA chart (same pair) but it appears they trade correctly. Is there a way to avoid this?

you can have multiple EA's trading the same pair without issue. If you're having a problem with an EA closing/altering another EA's trades, make use of magic numbers to distinguish between the two.

The answer to your second question would be: This is MT4 behaviour and nothing to do with your EAs so if they are not interfering their trades don't worry.

If you want more than one EA trading the same pair you have to open the same chart again, attach first EA to first, and another EA to.... well, you guessed it, another

If you want to get rid of lines with trade levels go to tools -> options -> charts -> and uncheck "Show trade levels". Unfortunatelly it removes all the lines
