Forward testing problem...
Go to Interbankfx.com and download their free demo platform. If you have your firewalls (anti-hacking) software to high, it will cause lack of communications between you and the broker. I found that to be true with the MT4 platform on my computer. Good Luck! P.S. Set your firewall to low and see if it works.

I've been experimenting by writing some indicators and EAs and all appears to have gone well - apart from not becoming a millionaire this week!
I've managed to run back-tests and have tried a little optimization without an issue but I am having a problem with forward testing.
I have been running one of my EAs which initially tried opening a position at 15:26:24. There was an error posted to the terminal screen and the system continued trying to open the order every few seconds until it was successful at 15:28:58.
Is this a normal situation or is it simply that I'm running on a demo account?
I downloaded MT4 directly from the MetaQuotes site and I'm logged in to their "MetaQuotes-Demo" server.
TIA
