I suggest we get as many people (and instances of Empty4) running with different settings on HGB.
I suggest the following basic rules :
1. The first rule of HGB forward test is: you do not talk about HGB backtest :!:
2. Keep these settings the same: Symbols tested (28 pairs). Lot size(0.01). Demo account(10000 USD). Global Prime. Leverage 1:100
3. All systems will be linked on myfxbook, for easy comparison. I suggest one myfxbook account with all the systems.
4. All results should be shared, including any errors, glitches etc.
5. each instance will test one trading strategy. Eg. (Trend, Wave, Range, Rad, TrendWave)
It is possible to get a free VPS on Amazon to do the forward test.

Before we start we need to agree on the settings to be tested, which will depend on how many people are keen.
-------------------
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)

All suggestions are welcome.

//---------- ROUND ONE----------
everything you need is in the zip. read the instructions carefully. then re-read.
you will notice Holy Graily Bob 2o-b. this is steve's version of 2o which differs from the 2o boinvest posted. use this version only. OOTB only, do not change settings.
HGBforwardtestV2.zip - removed, round one commenced.
:!: :!: :!: Important note for those using Amazon VPS : :!: :!: :!:
Please keep Empty4 minimised during the test period to reduce CPU load.
Also reduce the max number of bars in history and chart to 550: Tools|Options|Charts
Failure to do this might mean that the CPU will max out.
//---------- ROUND TWO----------
Commencing Monday 2/2/15
Please setup over the weekend while the markets are closed.
This will be another control round to make sure we have ironed out all the issues with setting up.
Everything is in the zip.
