In this paper, we show a new algorithm to integrate the orbits of binaries. Our new algorithm has the good properties of both symmetrized timesteps and KS regularization: (1) no secular error in either energy or angular momentum; (2) a constant number of timesteps per orbit for a binary with arbitrary eccentricity (Funato et al., 1995).
