No, but any open trades will continue.

No, if you want it to keep running run it on a VPS.

Stop losses that are already set.
If the Stops are set into the order (Hard Stops) and not soft stops (like many order management Ea's use) Then YES, it will work as soon as it hits , even when your MT4/PC/VPS is turned off.

EXCEPTION: IF price hops over your stop due to some news or gaps...in that case, it will depend upon how your broker manages such cases. Some close and some looters do not i think.

Hope it helps !
