Trading strategies and currency pairs
As per the developer, the system works on major pairs with low spreads such as the GBPUSD and USDCHF pairs. The FX EA is also set optionally to work on the USDCHF and USDJPY pairs at high-risk mode. It trades frequently during the day and uses the momentum and pullback algorithm along with Trend EMA, RSI, and volatility filters. This FX EA uses additional averaging trades of similar lot sizes to improve the winning rate. Most often the trades have a TP of 5 pips with single entries. The vendor states that it does not use the Martingale method. When used on 2 pairs on a single account, the performance is enhanced and growth of the account occurs at an accelerated rate.
A couple of backtests are present on the MQL5 site. Here is one of the backtests working on the USDCHF pair using the H1 timeframe from 2016 to 2020.

Live trading stats for Medusa X on the MQL5 site
From the above stats, we can see that account that started in December 2020 has completed 253 trading days with a growth of 217% for an initial deposit of 500 SGD. A drawdown of 78.6% is present for the account which indicates a dangerous approach. A total of 1627 trades have been executed with a profitability of 93.05% and a profit factor of 2.29. While the profits are high, the big drawdown which is also seen in the backtesting results indicates that the approach used is of a high-risk type. Traders who prefer low-risk approaches will not favor this system.
Pricing and refund
You can buy this ATS for $399. Rental packages are present that includes a one-month rental costing $80 and a 3-month rental costing $150. We could not find info on the features available with the packages. No money-back guarantee is present which raises doubts about the reliability of the EA. When compared to the market average, we find the pricing is expensive. Further, the vendor mentions that the price will soon increase to $2000.
What else you should know about Medusa X
Unfortunately, we could not find user reviews for the ATS on reputed third-party sites like Myfxbook, Forexpeacearmy, Trustpilot, etc. Although there are reviews found on the MQL5 site, there is a high chance of the results being manipulated as the site promotes the product.
