So this is why you test before you deploy.
Found a bug in an Un-updated library function that was resetting the daily goal after it calculated it twice (two bugs). So the goal could never be reached. In the process found another anomaly in a function not being imported (3rd bug).
So Bottom line: If the Algo where working properly: 3 trades, all wins for 38 ticks, done at 7:20 AM PT.

Oh Crap!!!!Lucky it ain't one of these...
No thanks,
Figured out the issue. USER ERROR! Had an older version of the Algo running on a window hidden in the background. It was sending messages "Trade more" and the newer intended version also sending "your done". Interesting that the two are not separated by a wall and can influence each other. It is a limitation of MC desktop.
I once just moved into a new place and had something like that (potato bug?) jump on my chest, just as I was dozing off to sleep the first night.. Wet cold and looked like an alien. A scream was all I could manage before bolting up!
So weekly summary: Algo traded 3 days of 5. Did 84 ticks. The other two days were out of its "wheelhouse" and are going to be handled by another algo which is almost done. So I am green to go LIVE next week. It will trade "Regular" days only, and scalp away.
