Some brokers, such as ATC work fine with HGB, opening and closing trades as HGB instructs while maintaining compliance on the backend. If you like your broker and they don't support HGB look at using a tool such as One4all. However, for testing purposes I think we all should use GP to keep that one variable constant.

starting monday 19/01/ 2015 round one will be a 'control' round. for one week everybody will setup the same version with same settings. this will allow us to see if there are any differences between our platforms/server which may affect results. if everything runs correctly we will all get the same results. if results differ, we need to investigate why. lets see if latency is an issue. maybe the amazon VPS wont work properly? who knows.

also can everyone please focus on bug reporting so that we can get a good version of HGB to forward test.

unless a new version is released over the weekend, we will use 2̶n̶ ̶O̶O̶T̶B̶ 2o .

instructions will be posted in post one.

let the forward testing begin!

EDIT: 2o just released. gonna wait until sunday to decide the version.

2. Keep these settings the same: Symbols tested(2̶7̶ ̶p̶a̶i̶r̶s̶ ̶+̶ X̶A̶U̶U̶S̶D̶) (28 pairs). Lot size(0.01). Demo account(10000 USD). Global Prime. Leverage 1:100
......!

What pairs?

Normally I have my Demo with 28 pairs without XAUUSD, so I have 1 pair more than you.

What Setfile we need to use?

Why 1:100 leverage? The Global Prime real accounts are 1:200.

Our standard leverage is 1:100.

We are very cautious on offering higher leverage than that to clients and we only offer higher leverage after assessing a client with the following email:

"Our standard leverage offered is 100:1. We may be able to offer higher leverage after an assessment of trading style. Please answer the following questions:

1. What is the Empty4 account No. you wish to adjust the leverage on?
2. Do you hold positions over the weekend?
3. What is the maximum exposure you will have at any time (maximum total lots open if you add up all open positions)?
4. What account size will you be starting with?
5. Will leverage of 200:1 be sufficient for your trading strategy?
6. Which pairs do you intend to trade the most?
7. Are you aware that higher leverage means a significantly higher risk to your account?

It's important to note that if a large DD is being carried over a news announcement/weekend and the market gaps and your account balance goes negative you will be required to deposit funds to bring the account balance back to 0. We've only seen this happen a few times, usually over a weekend gap however in almost all cases it is an account that has asked for higher leverage.

Please note that if higher leverage is granted we may have to reassess if the trading style deviates."

Cheers
Jeremy

Dear Trendinator,

We don't need to install Myfxbook in some chart?
