Weird Behaviour of Demo Account

I'm currently forward testing my enhanced EA -PipBoxer2 - on different platforms to make sure it works properly. I just noticed that one of the demo accounts (Alpari) closed my trade and opened a new one. Is it because of rollover swap?

Alpari (UK) Ltd.

Then say they close then reopen...

Thanks very much. I'm not their customer. I just used their platform to make sure that my system works with different brokers.

Now, I know it.
