Is it possible to get the latest EA posted in the 1st thread or something? I have been manually using Zeman's system to trade manually, and had never had any issues with drawdowns. Personally, I do not use any other indicator when using his system, but I do know that if you use the Asian timeframe for backtesting, you will surely see many whipsaws.

I agree. It would be good to add a time period parameter:

You know what? You can simply glue the code of the indicator into the EA (simply speaking) and it will still work.
If noone made an EA from CATFX50, it could mean they did but backtest showed horrible results and the EA was abandoned. The same thing happened with dolly - it didn't show any promise (blind trading with TP of 20 and SL of 40 rarely shows any good result). It only depends on how much effort you put into it and how much of the original system you are ready to sacrifice to make it better.

sorry for double posting.
done with ATR trail, effect is negative so far. I'll be off for optimizations and changing the pivot calculation. See you soon!
I have the new Kuskus EA finished. It only uses the 3 indicators with the default settings shown here. If these are not correct let me know.
As mentioned before Fisher replaces starlight.
extern string s1="BBandsStop settings";
extern int Length=20; // Bollinger Bands Period
extern int Deviation=2; // Deviation
extern double MoneyRisk=1.00; // Offset Factor
extern string s2="Fisher settings";
extern int RangePeriods=35;
extern double PriceSmoothing=0.3; // =0.67 bei Fisher_m10
extern double IndexSmoothing=0.3; // =0.50 bei Fisher_m10
extern string s3="Heiken_Ashi_Ma settings";
extern int MaMethod = 1;
extern int MaPeriod = 15;
The EA backtested well for January with over 40% profit but since Aug 2006 it has not done so well. Less than 50/50 wins to losses and only 27% profit. I used stoploss 100 and TakeProfit 50 as well as trading hours for asian session from 0 to 3 and european session from 9 to 11.
Next version will add daily and 4 hr trend as determined by GMACD, then DigiStoch.
Then will add Nina EMA idea and then STepMA_Stoch.

Thanks Robert.
You think, DIN V2 and add to code switch pure ISAKAS? Only three indicators?
Small question.
I think, Zeman wrote,
extern int RangePeriods=30; for M30 and M15

You've done great job so far. Thanks for your effort mate.
One thought. What about to add a setup option allowing user to chose either PURE ISAKAS or ISAKAS + next OPTIONS? I believe that could be handy, couldn't be?

100% I Agree!!!
Thanks Robert!

Shinigami,
I have added 6 different trailing stops as functions to my EA for KusKus.
Take a look at my next post for the code. Maybe you could add yours as type 7. Or send me what you have and I will finish it. You are free to copy my code to your ea as well. Some of the functions are from other sources and the comments state who developed them.
Another idea for pivots are the Camarilla Pivots. I have been told that the banks and large institutional traders use them.
The indicator also has code for fib pivots.
I am attaching indicator here.

If you have any good ideas about pivot calculation model, pm me or post here, I'll add them.
I'm going to use these:
(last day high + last day low + 2 * last day close) / 4
today's open as pivot
(last day high + last day low + 2 * today open) / 4
Last model is much more effitient for gaps.
I'd like to limit trade opportunities too (like not trading both ways, which happens pretty often and already happened today) and add an opportunity to choose distance from pivot. I'm thinking of limiting trade to one direction if we have a trade open in that direction and its in profit. Example: we have a buy with 50 pips profit, so we will only place buy-stop orders until buy order(s) hits a SL or TP.
If you have any ideas you'd like to add, shoot!
-edit-
added a graph with 0,05 risk
PS: this EA works fine during the last year but fails to do so during 2,5-year period so don't put your hopes up too high. Its just an EA, not a holy grail.
I still have the useXxx for exit because my backtest determined that using Fisher alone for exit had the best return, doubling the account since Aug 20, 2006. Drawdown is larger than I like though. Hopefully new additions will improve on that.
For the next version I will put back the useXxx for entries as well.
Any ideas of what to add to the next version are appreciated.
Right now I only plan to add the trend check with GMACD.
That way we can determine what addditions help the EA to be more profitable.
This one only uses 3 indicators from Isakas, no check for trend.
Default settings worked the best so far although I have not tested settings for the indicators. I used the values from a template someone sent me.
I have not tested all the trailing stop ideas yet.
There are 6 of them right now with more to be added as I finish the code for them.
There is also already time periods to trade. I fixed the issue for start time = 22 and end time = 1 for the asian session. The old code would not work for this.
