Big Pineapple
Big Pineapple is a martingale Expert Advisor with a great diversification of operations and different systems working on 27 pairs. This increases the chances of sustained growth and reduces exposure to a single pair. The risk is very controlled.
Unlike other martingale EAs, this EA is very safe with very low drawdown. The minimum deposit is 10,000 USD with 0.01 initial lot size. If you want to run it in a smaller account, you could open a cent account and run it with at least 100 USD.
The EA does not overfit parameter values for a single pair using historical data, the algorithms and values are all the same for all pairs, which enhances the robustness of the system.
The risk management is very simple. Set the Stoploss_in_money, it will close all open trades when the floating losses reach it.
The EA cannot be backtested.

I bought it on the 10th April 2018. First experience is that you should run the EA at the recommended equity. Otherwise the open positions will pull down the margin level to a critical level but with the recommended equity it works so far. Many trades per day with daily profit.
Update 23.04.2018: Accout crashed twice within 2 weeks using default settings and recommended account balance... 1 Star
Update 03.05.2018: I will test the new Version 1.3 on a Demo account. It seems as the author has understood the risk issue and reduced it. The EA also now has a news filter! Will update my review and hopefully the rating in a few weeks after positive results and hopefully no further crashes. 3 Stars for the improvements
Update 11.08.2018: Demo account reached above 200% profit but now crashed. This EA definetely crashes your account. It is just a question of time! I even reduced the amount of traded pairs for risk reduction and activated the news filter.
