No major changes, just added another trailing stop method and moved the inputs around for easier understanding.
I will post version 1.2 as soon as backtest is complete.
I went ahead and put in StepMA and Ninas EMA signals.
Also includes GMACD and HMA for trend.
Everything is selectable by turning swith on or off.
That was the idea in DIN_EA_v2 but I guess there were too many options.
So I simplified to just use GMACD or HMA Angle for trend right now.
I will be posting the HMA Angle indicator with the settings used in the EA as defaults.

I made some manual backtestings using the 3 main indicators as exit signals combined with TP and emergency SL ....and results were good on all tf (15mn/30mn/1h)
So i think it would be good if we could use these indicators as possible exit strategy (in the same way they are used for entering the trades):
* when 1 of the 3 turns opposite
*When 2 of the 3 turns opposite
*when all three turns opposite
Also reentry in the trade as soon as all selected entries conditions are again verified
Big bars were generating many false signals and loosing trades. So ultimately specific strategies should be studied for entering trades on these big bars.
One of the strategy that I have read would be to enter the trade only if goes higher than the high of signal bar.
Other possibility would be top enter the trade only when difference between price and value of Heiken Ashi is getting lower to X pips within the next Y abrs...and of course if all other required conditions are still there.
I alredy tested the exit strategy by using the backtester. The best exit was when the fisher11 changd direction. That is why that is the only exit switch turned on.
As other ideas are added these can be tested again.
Here is the method.
When you enter input values there are 3 columns that can be used for optimizing.
For the switches, click on the box to select the switch to optimize.
Select start and enter a value of 0.
Select Step and enter a value of 1.
Select Stop and enter a value of 1.
Select optimize before pressing start and the strategy tester will try all combinations of values and report the results in order form best to worst.
Be aware that this can sometimes take some time. When I tested with v2 i had one run take over 16 hours.
For more accurate results run the test on the 5 minute or 1 minute time frame.
All indicators are coded to use the appropriate timeframes in the EA. That is why there are inputs for the signal timeframe and trend timeframes.
Christoff,
I already posted the Pivots indicator that fixes the problem for Sunday/Monday pivots.
It also includes standard, mid, camarilla and fib pivot formulas.
All of the pivots can be turned on or off. There are also settings for line color and text label size.
The indicator was a combination of other indicators that I modified and posted at the Strato thread.
If there are others I would not mind having them too.
Robert
Robert,
Thank you for the information. I think this combined pivot indicator is suitable for the tasks of KusKus.

Hello and thanks for your great EA!
I have a question about point of entry and exit (see graphics).
I'm testing DIN_KusKus_EA_v1.1:
- trailing is off
- exit on Fisher (default settings)
Can you explain how EA finding exit points very close to high peak without obvious signals?
What rulez on that exits?
Here is HMA_Angle indicator and HMA3 that is used by the angle indicator.
I like this more than the GMACD because you can see the trend change historically to better test the EA.
Robert
GMACD - cool indicator, but not showing on history, you're right!
And i will be happy, when finished searching equivalent of the GMACD with history. Please give some notes about using HMA Angle. I'm attached screenshot & if yellow and green bars - "power" of trend, than some late to use that info?
Try a setting of 12 for the period and 10 or 15 for the threshold.
This basically keeps from entering trades in a flat market when the indicator is red. The other idicators might all line up but the trend is relatively flat.
Also make sure to look on the 4 hr and daily. That is where the trend is checked. I am considereing modifying GMACD to GHMA_Angle but ...
That is showing the best results on backtest but only when used for exit.
Still 3 hours to go on an 18 hour backtest.

Thanks for comments. With that settings more better and usefull. Also may help to re-enter position after trend correction.
The new DIN_KusKus_EA_v1.0 and 1.1 are "Pure" Kuskus. There are switches to turn on or off indicator for exit rules. The default settings are what worked best on my backtest.
I would suggest deleting the earlier versions. Version 2 was really for testing what the best trend indicator might be as well as the best timeframes to determine trend.
The new version 1.2 will still have the same ability but only checking GMACD and HMA Angle for now. I have found HMA Angle to work better than GMACD to determine trend.
Use the newest ones that are names DIN_KusKus_EA. Maybe later we can get back to just DIN.
I am using DIN_EA_v2 to copy code for the new versions.
I moved some input code around to make it easier, I hope, for people to use the EA.
All of the trailing stop selections have been moved to the end of the inputs.
I am including switches that will turn indicators on or off.
Here is the latest "Pue" Kuskus ea with 7 trailing stop ideas.
Maybe some of you can volunteer to test 1 trailing stop method to see if it helps.
That would save me a great deal of testing time.
The trading times should help control the entering of trades within a few bars of the signal. Two hour entry trading window is only 4 bars.
I am not familiar with 10 point pyramiding. Can you explain further or send me an ea that already does this?
Unless you are refering to a type of grid. I already have an ea that trades with the trend by opening new positions every X pips in the direction of the trend.
I also plan to add the idea form TriplePlayTesting that I wrote from an idea suggested at the Yahoo Metatrader group. It places 2 scalp type trades 10 and 20 pips from the original entry with a 20 and 10 pip target. The idea was to turn a 30 pip move into the equivalent of a 100 pip move.
Just needs a way to avoid chop and enter at a good point in a trend.
Robert your on the right track with this EA, I have followed all the attempts in modifying the 10point3 to make it a profitable EA, all end up in the trash, look in any 10point3 thread they all avoid posting forward tests during the news, very much dependable on backtests.
The Truth
There are at least 5 versions of the 10point3 carrying different names, all as far as I know works great in backtests, and does a great job, but in live trading 10point3 cleans the account in seconds during the news or big movement.
I am trading live account with DIN manually for 2 months now and making good money, so before anyone starts to defined the 10point3 I hope he has similar or longer live experience with 10point3 and making money.
