The Great HGB Foward Test
I tested the zip file with https://www.virustotal.com/ and nothing found. Should be clean and safe.Jhlewis » Today, 18:14 wrote:Ideas on why Avast is giving me a Malware warning on that zip?
I download zips all the time here and never a warning before.

Oh boy, but poor trendinator is discovering big time what it means to deal with you lot - a bit like trying to herd pussycats.
trendinator, there is only one thing you can do. Keep on repeating, "Everything you need is in post 1." Even the dimmest will get the message eventually.
Possibly. You might have to repeat it a few times.
To those of you with firing brain cells and who have taken the trouble to work out what is going on here, thank you. I do not have the time to take part in this trial, but the defaults in my releases indicate what my set file would be, so I kind of am taking part. I just do not guarantee that I will not change anything, that is all.
Have fun guys.

Hi trendinatortrendinator » Sun Jan 18, 2015 8:08 pm wrote:download complete history data - why? ive never needed to do this. HGB looks at the last 100 bars only.rapple » Sun Jan 18, 2015 7:10 pm wrote:Hi trendinator
I have set up my demo and filled in the poll.
One thing to add to the instructions is to download complete history data.
I was also not sure how to calculate latency so I left a comment in this field on the poll.
Cheers Richard
latency is shown on the very first page when you open a new account. please double check it and post here
I did a ping test to the GP server from my home computer and the latency was 222ms
Cheers Richard

thanks steve you are absolutely correct. everything you need is in post one!
everything you need is in post one!!!
just to repeat myself once more - we are all using the SAME SETTINGS for round one because this is a control round. so we will see if there are any factors outside of HGB that will affect the result. eg. latency
im a bit concerned because there has been 50 downloads of the zip and only 18 responses to the poll. bloody lurkers everywhere. come on guys, fill in the poll, its essential.

The Great HGB Foward Test
for any newcomers please let me guide you
READ POST ONE
you will find the following information:
-------------------
Please post in this thread if you are willing to participate - you must setup a VPS or be willing to run your computer 24/5.
In your post, write the computer you will use and the number of Empty4 instances you will be able to run with HGB & 28 pairs (amazon VPS is one).
EG.
Amazon VPS (1)
or
Home computer (3)
-----------------
this is important so that we can keep track of who is participating and so i can add you to the rollcall and assign a unique number. ive just had 2 people complete the poll and assign themselves the same unique number. seriously, READ POST ONE.
in other news. the markets have opened! let the forward testing begin!!
if you havent already got everything setup, its too late, wait for the next round.
if you did have everything setup before the market open (12 midnight EET) then please still fill in the poll and leave a comment there.
p.s read post one

link to myfxbook in post 3. looks like there are already some differences between accounts, but that could just be the update rate of myfxbookrapple » Mon Jan 19, 2015 8:22 am wrote:I am up and running with pending orders placed on: AUDJPY and EURJPY
