What about Medusa X Real Trading Results?

We found a verified trading result for this FX EA on the myfxbook site. Here are screenshots of the results.

The real SGD account uses the IC Markets broker and the leverage of 1:500 on the MT4 platform. A total gain of 111.12% and an absolute gain of similar value are shown under the trading stats. We can see a drawdown of 35.47% for the account. But, other trading stats like the balance, equity, deposits, etc. are hidden by the developer. 

For the trading started in December 2020, a total of 899 trades have been completed with a profitability of 94%. Just as in the trading stats, the advanced stats values are also hidden by the trader. The profit factor value is 2.61. We could not find the lot sizes used as they are not revealed in the trading history. The hidden data raise a red flag as they imply that the strategy and performance are not good.

User Reviews

We found 10 reviews for this EA on the MQL5 site. While the reviews are positive, they indicate a low drawdown and steady profits. Since the MQL5 site is promoting the product, the testimonials may be manipulated. We could not find user reviews on reputed sites like Forexpeacearmy, Trustpilot, etc., which indicate this is not a popular ATS.
