I believe you should switch in every turn, and also that contrary to some suggestions the previous door which had the prize does not matter.

I've used the auto play buttons and obtained the following;

Auto-play: Switch every trial Played 2462, won 1644, win% 67%
Auto-play: Stay every trial Played 2818 won 956 win% 34%
Auto-play: Random Played 2620 won 1286 win% 49%
