HiJack EA V2.8 MT4 – Precision Intraday Scalping for Major Forex Pairs

Introduction
Are you tired of EAs that promise the moon but deliver nothing but drawdowns? Sick of subscription fees that drain your account before you even see a pip in profit? HiJack EA V2.8 MT4 is here to change the game. Developed by the YoForex team, this high-frequency scalping Expert Advisor is engineered for serious traders who demand consistency, low drawdown, and minimal intervention. No more chasing the latest trend indicator or tweaking complicated parameters. HiJack EA V2.8 MT4 comes fully loaded with advanced slippage control, spread filters, and an adaptive algorithm that reacts in real time to market volatility. Whether you’re trading EUR/USD, USD/JPY, or NZD/USD, this EA gives you the edge you’ve been searching for—completely free on MQL5.software.

Overview
HiJack EA V2.8 MT4 is designed for intraday scalpers and breakout hunters who want a hands-off, fully automated solution. Built on a robust MQL4 core and tested across multiple market conditions, V2.8 adds a new volatility filter that intelligently adjusts entry thresholds during news releases and low-liquidity sessions. The EA manages lot sizes based on a percentage of your deposit, ensuring that risk never exceeds your set limits. Connection failures? No problem—HiJack EA automatically re-establishes orders when your terminal goes offline and comes back online. Spread and slippage spikes are caught by a special algorithm that either delays entry or skips trades altogether, so you’re never caught trading under unfavorable conditions.

Backtest Results & Proof
Extensive backtests on EUR/USD between January 2018 and December 2024 demonstrate a compounded monthly growth rate of 12.4%. Over 250,000 simulated ticks, HiJack EA V2.8 MT4 delivered a total net profit of 320%, with a peak drawdown of just 4.8%. The equity curve shows smooth, consistent gains, avoiding the rollercoaster ride that many high-frequency scalpers endure. These results aren’t just on demo—live-market verification on a $1,000 account over six months achieved a 75% win rate, 1.3% average daily return, and a maximum drawdown of 4.5%. Past performance isn’t a guarantee of future results, but the synchronization between backtest and live results speaks volumes about the reliability of HiJack EA’s core algorithm.
