Forward testing - updtae

The expert advisor keeps working, and its results match completely the back test. I am starting preparing to live trading.
What does it mean? Since I do not know a reliable Metatrader broker, which is very important, I am going to work with MBTrading.  This company is actually a gateway, and has no interest in your transactions. 
So, MBTrading offers an API to trade, and I am going to develop a small application that will receive trade signals from the Metatrader, and execute them with MBTrading.
There are a few disadvantages with that method:
1. MBTrading does not allow opposite trades (longs and shorts at the same time), but I may open a sub account for this purpose.
2. The small application requires QA.
