Forward Testing Setup

I am new to this "more art than science" forex venture and see many exciting EA's under discussion. I'm not much of a believer in backtesting, but would like to forward test several EA's (maybe Alpha 9, GoldWarrior 02.b, StepMAExpert,and some of CodesGuru's EMA's).

My current Metatrader brokers do not allow you to run multiple accounts with EA's on them using live data. Many people discuss forward testing on this forum. How is this accomplished? Can you use live data with only one broker and run several concurrent Metatrader sessions with different promising EA's, or do you have to set up individual accounts with brokers and forward test using real money micro accounts?

I apologize if this has been discussed in a thread but I've searched at length and cannot find the information.
Thanks, friends.
