Mood EA is a fully automated trading robot for the MetaTrader platforms that comes with customisable settings. You can adjust the Mood EA to your preferences and risk levels. This Expert Advisor can be purchased from the MQL marketplace whilst there is a free demo version also available to give it a try before making any commitment. In this article, I will be taking a look at how the Mood EA works. Hopefully, that will help you to decide if this is a trading robot that you would consider using on your trading account.
Using the Mood EA
The Momentum indicator, which is a leading indicator, is used by the Mood EA. To enter a position, the advisor uses this indicator’s oversold or overbought conditions, catching the “mood” of traders. The built-in algorithm will constantly analyse the trading instruments on which chart the EA is applied, searching the charts for buy and sell signals. When the Mood EA finds an opportunity, it can place and manage trades on behalf of the user.

Mood EA Summary
Overall, I see some potential with the Mood EA for anyone looking to trade the financial markets automatically in either of the MetaTrader platforms. The EA developer has shared some backtests for you to get an idea of how the Mood EA has performed over recent years through different market conditions.
It is important to note that past performance does not guarantee good results moving forward. Therefore, I would only test the Mood EA on a demo account using a trial version to begin with. This would allow me to get a feel for how it works and see if it fits within my own trading style.
