Introduction


Sick of EAs that scream “profit” in backtests but fizzle in live markets? You’re not alone… Traders want consistency, not guesswork, right? That’s exactly why we built Bandwagon EA V2.8 MT4, an AI-powered trend scalper that locks in signals without repainting or whipsawing you out of trades. Hosted on ForexFactory.cc and proudly powered by YoForex, this bot is 100% free—no trial periods, no hidden fees. We’ve crunched through years of tick data, stress-tested it on demo accounts, and yes, the results have us pretty excited. In this post, I’ll walk you through everything: what it does, why it’s special, proof in the pudding (backtests & live stats), plus setup steps and support deets. Ready to hop on the Bandwagon? Let’s roll.


Overview


Bandwagon EA V2.8 MT4 uses a cutting-edge AI algorithm to identify and ride strong price trends across multiple timeframes—M5, M15, and H1—so you get in early and let winners run. Unlike grid or martingale systems that gamble, Bandwagon bases its entries on an adaptive moving-average cluster, volatility filters, and pattern recognition modules. Once the AI confirms momentum, it places trades with dynamic stops and take-profits that adapt as the market shifts.


It’s designed for all major currency pairs—EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD—and works seamlessly on any MT4 broker, ECN or standard. You can run multiple instances side by side, each with customized risk settings. And since it’s non-repainting, you’ll never see phantom signals mess with your strategy; what you see at the moment of entry is locked in.
