Forward tesing - update

Today the expert advisor won one trade in forward testing.
Now it should have open a new trade, but the connection is lost to the server. I checked Alpari's server, and it's fine.  Since I intend to trade the strategy on a real account, I should do it with another broker, and make the fine tuning of the setup before. I experienced troubles with different Metatrader brokers in the past, and that's the reason that I will probably work with a non-Metatrader broker company. I tried "MBTrading", and they were fine so far.
What's left before engaging the real account? First, I should insert the state logic into the expert advisor. It means that if the Metatrader shuts down, the expert advisor will be able to recover. Second, I have to continue the forward testing at least for the next week and a half.
In the operational form, the Metatrader will be the signal supplier to manual trading, or for the application that I will have to develop as well, which will be based on the broker's API.
