Why is it called forward testing?
Back testing is testing on past data. Testing is testing the current data and forward testing by implication is testing on future data.
If you have any future data I'd also like a copy...please!!

I think it is called forward test because we are trying to run the test and see how the EA will performance in the future. So we are looking 'forward' not looking 'back'.

But you can't test that. All you can test is how it performs now. All the disclaimers that you are obliged to use says so.
Sorry, little bug bear of mine, I know everyone uses it, but it's incorrect use of English. The right term would be testing.
I'm disappointed though, was really looking forward to some future data.
