Last descisions before moving to live trading

I decided that I am going to run my expert advisor in live mode to trade automatically, without MBTrading. Why? I found a bug related to MBTraing API and it looks suspicious. If I, a simple API user, found a bug, it might be a sign for the future to come. I have a problem with Metatrader brokers (for example read it), but since my expert advisor has long targets it will be very difficult to bypass the market rates in order to make me lose. 
Also I chose an American broker since there are a few new limitations that protect the customers. I added a Skype dll to my expert advisor that will SMS me each time a trade was made or closed. I added global variables support in order to recover from shutdowns. 
That's it. I opened an account at the chosen broker, and I am going to start trading one week from now.
