Performance Results

The primary proof source is the Bandwagon V2 MQL5 Signal, a public live MT4 account on HFMarketsSV-Live Server. At the time of publication, it showed 43 weeks of activity since February 2024, 117 trades, 20.45% growth, a 2.19 profit factor, 4.85% balance drawdown, and 9.55% equity drawdown. A profit factor of 2.19 means the account generated roughly $2.19 in gross profit for every $1.00 in gross loss across all closed trades — a meaningful metric for a grid and hedging system where recovery trades can affect win rates.

A second account linked to the same developer recorded 402% growth from 2022 through early 2025, with $1,420.12 in total withdrawals against $886.81 in additional deposits on a $500 starting balance — confirming real extracted profit over that period. That account also recorded an 81.3% maximum drawdown. Grid and hedging systems can stack open positions during sustained adverse moves, and that figure shows what this EA is capable of under live conditions without controlled preset settings.

The Risk 2–6 preset files target a 15% drawdown limit with forced-close enabled and cap active pairs at 5. These controls exist precisely because the older account history shows what happens without them. Validate the forced-close setting, your broker’s spread on all active pairs, and your lot size against your actual balance before going live. The older account’s 81.3% drawdown should be reviewed carefully before using any preset above Risk 3.

Live MQL5 Signal data reflects past performance on a specific broker and account. Results will vary by broker, spread, lot size, and market conditions. The proof shown here should be treated as product-page evidence, not independently verified live performance. We recommend demo validation before live use.

How It Works

Strategy: Swing trading across major and minor forex pairs on MT4. The EA identifies trend or pullback conditions and uses grid-style recovery positions and hedging to manage losing trades.

Entry: Triggers on trend or pullback detection. The exact indicator combination is not specified in the available materials — validate entry behavior in demo across multiple pairs before live use.

Exit: Primary exit is profit-target based, with the grid recovery cycle closing as a net winner. The forced-close drawdown setting exits all orders if account drawdown reaches the configured percentage limit (15% in the Risk 2–6 presets).

Risk Control: Lot size is automatically calculated based on the selected risk preset and preferred maximum drawdown input. The documented settings use Risk 6 with a 15% drawdown cap, forced-close enabled, and a maximum of 5 active pairs. Grid and hedging behavior means open exposure can scale during adverse moves — control this through preset selection and the Maximum Number of Pairs setting.

✅ Best conditions: Trending or ranging markets with consistent directional bias • Low-spread ECN execution on active sessions • Maximum 5 pairs running simultaneously per the documented settings.

⚠️ Caution: High-volatility news events where spread spikes can trigger premature grid layers • Running more pairs than your balance supports relative to the selected risk preset.

Technical Specifications

Who Should Use This EA

✅ Ideal for:

• MT4 traders comfortable with grid and hedging systems who understand that open exposure scales during recovery sequences
• Traders who want multi-pair automation with preset-based risk control and can monitor drawdown actively
• Accounts of $500–$1,000 or larger using the Risk 2–6 preset range with forced-close drawdown enabled

✅ Best results when:

• Running on a low-spread ECN broker with stable execution and a VPS, using no more than 5 active pairs simultaneously
• The 15% drawdown forced-close setting is enabled and tested in demo before any live capital is committed

This EA is not suited to traders who want a single-position, fixed stop-loss system or who cannot tolerate drawdown spikes during grid recovery cycles.
