did not work with electrum cash for me so far... what am I doing wrong?

If my compromised machine is used to steal my bch then would not the bch block explorer be able show us exactly when my funds are stolen?  And to where???  That alone would be interesting..

   In the alternative I am still trying to find out what I am doing wrong..any suggestions welcome. 

Here is what I 've done so far:
1 Sent bitcoins to new wallet with new seed for safety;
2 downloaded electron cash onto newly formatted and separate computer
3 imported old now empty multibitHD seed into electrum cash
4 I tried both BIP39 and BIP145 with BIP39
5  ..using both m'/44'/0'/0'/  & m'/145'/0'/0'/  (not sure which is correct)
4 wallet creates itself with no transactions showings and zero balance in all instances.

Please help.   

I am now going to try bitcoin abc..

as a last resort  I can go back into multibitHD and modify it to dump the keys if the empty old private keys will work to open bch?
